iOS 13.6 third beta

The third beta for iOS and iPadOS 13.6 has been seeded today to developers by Apple, which comes about three weeks after the second beta. This update adds a toggle for customizing software updates, giving users more control when downloading and installing new software.

The iOS and iPadOS 13.6 third beta can be downloaded from the Apple Developer Center or over the air once the proper developer profile has been installed. Users will now be able to decide if their iPhone or iPad should automatically download iOS updates when connected to WiFi, as well as when those updates should be installed.

A new Download iOS Updates toggle is included for turning automatic downloads on or off over WiFi, as well as an Install iOS Updates toggle for installing software updates overnight as an iPhone or iPad charges. If you’re someone who gets annoyed when your device just automatically downloads new software that you didn’t want, then this update will bring a smile to your face.

New features are also coming to the Health app, as there’s a new “Symptoms” section that allows users to add symptoms of various illnesses. Users will be able to add symptom data through the Health app, providing a way to track and log various illness-related symptoms over time and then share that information with doctors.

The long-awaited Car Key feature is also available with this update, which allows an iPhone or Apple Watch to be used in lieu of a physical key to unlock an NFC-enabled vehicle. This feature needs to be implemented by car manufacturers to function, and BMW is the first big name to step up to the plate. BMW’s Digital Key for iPhone feature allows users to tap to unlock their vehicles, start the car by placing the iPhone in the Smartphone tray, place limitations on young drivers, and share the key with up to five other users.

The official release of iOS and iPadOS 13.6 does not have an official release date currently, but we’ll bring you that information as soon as it becomes available.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .

Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.

Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.

Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?

PC Mounts Show PlayStation Trophy Support

We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.

TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.

TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.

TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.

No worries, PS5 Slim SSD upgrades are possible

Next month, the PS5 Slim will replace the original PS5. Its main selling point is its detachable disc drive. Sony’s design change will streamline manufacturing, but consumers will have more flexibility. The refreshed machine will be 30% smaller than its predecessor, reducing its footprint.

But since the manufacturer hadn’t mentioned it, some worried you couldn’t install another SSD. A spokesperson told IGN that “there are no changes with the new model”—you can still install a compatible hard drive to expand the console’s storage.

Note that the new model increases on-board storage from 825GB to 1TB, so you get more space out of the box. However, some games are now so large that you may need a new PS5 SSD.
