WWDC 2016's opening keynote has come to a close and we now know just what Apple has been waiting to share with us for the last 12 months. Here's a roundup of everything announced at the event.
Apple has announced that iOS 10 and macOS Sierra 10.12 public beta seeds will be available to download sometime in July. Here's how to sign up for Apple Public Beta Program now.
In the midst of all of the Apple WWDC madness and excitement you can be forgiven for getting caught up in all of the major announcements and missing some of the smaller changes that Tim Cook and team didn't touch on for one reason or another. As the keynote was happening, and as a slew of Apple's executive team were introducing and demoing key new features within iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS, the company engineers were secretly uploading a number of apps to the App Store against Apple's own developer account. Curiously, all of those apps are ones that generally come pre-installed as stock apps on iOS out of the box.
The download links for iOS 10 beta 1 are now live and available for supported iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. As expected, Apple has used the opening keynote of this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2016) to give us our first glimpse of iOS 10 firmware. Those registered on Apple's Developer Program can go ahead and download the latest version of iOS beta seed for their compatible devices right now. Apple's Public Beta Program users will get iOS 10 in July.
Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2016) is well and truly underway now at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California. Apple CEO Tim Cook has taken to stage now to kick off the event. He has started off first by talking about yesterday's tragic event in Orlando, followed by some of the stats and figures about both, WWDC attendees at the event, as well as the Apple as a company itself and its performance over the last few months.
One Chinese dev has demonstrated a new iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak called "Flying JB". The video demonstration shows the Flying JB app being executed to successfully jailbreak a 32-bit iPhone running iOS 9.2.1. The jailbreak itself is made possible and based entirely on an extremely powerful 15-year old kernel HeapOverFlow vulnerability - inpuTbag - that exists within the particular firmware version that's being liberated in the video.
So the inevitable has happened. After releasing final version of iOS 9.3.2 back in May last month, and now after almost a month of its availability to general public, Apple has stopped signing the previous iOS 9.3.1 firmware, making iOS 9.3.2 the only firmware version iOS users can upgrade to. What this also means is that you can no longer downgrade or upgrade your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to iOS 9.3.1 from any other firmware version.
Is there a tool available to jailbreak iOS 9.3.1 or iOS 9.3? Here's our latest on the state of iOS 9.3.1 and iOS 9.3 jailbreak for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Apple's head of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller has announced a slew of changes to how the iOS App Store functions. Developers and consumers alike will most definitely welcome the changes, with Schiller suggesting that his reign will introduce major improvements to how the search functionality works, as well as offering new payment options through universal subscriptions to developers.
