Siri reveals Apple event on April 20

Siri has revealed an upcoming Apple event set on April 20. Upon asking Siri when the next Apple event is, she responds with the event that will occur on the said date at the Apple Park in Cupertino, California.

Siri’s vague information has been present across Apple devices such as the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even Homepod. However, Macrumors reports that the event will likely be a pre-recorded affair without media in attendance and might be live-streamed on Apple’s website and YouTube channel.


 

According to Bloomberg’s report, Apple plans to showcase its brand new 12.9-inch iPad pro with new mini-LED display technology, A14X chip and Thunderbolt connectivity around April. This somewhat aligns with the statement of Siri. Nonetheless, Apple representatives refused to further comment on the speculation.

There is still no further information about this upcoming event. Stay tuned to our page for more updates.

Here’s a fix for the iOS bug that crashes iPhones

We’ve previously reported about an iOS bug that plagues certain iPhones by sending a malicious SMS. Apple has been made aware of this and now offers a temporary fix while they prep an update.

Here’s what you can do just in case you get the text that could render your phone useless:

  • Ask Siri to “read unread messages.”
  • Use Siri to reply to the malicious message. After you reply, you’ll be able to open Messages again
  • In Messages, swipe left to delete the entire thread. Or tap and hold the malicious message, tap More, and delete the message from the thread.

The Cupertino company mentions that the bug is caused by a specific series of unicode characters and that they are in the process of making a software update that would hopefully prevent this from happening again. Until then, we can just follow the method above.
