iOS 16 bug reportedly breaks support for Cinematic videos in iMovie, Final Cut Pro

While Apple recently fixed some bugs caused by iOS 16, a new one has reportedly popped up. Some iPhone users are finding that iMovie and Final Cut Pro aren't supporting videos recorded in Cinematic Mode if the device it was recorded on runs on iOS 16. It's unclear what's causing the issue, but the reports seem to be consistent in pointing out these apps show an error when trying to edit Cinematic videos.

Apple hasn't acknowledged the bug yet, so you can't expect a software fix for now. A workaround 9to5Mac suggested editing the video on the iPhone and then sharing these to the Mac via AirDrop.

Apple has started rolling out a new update for iOS 16 that fixes the shaky footage problem experienced by iPhone 14 and 14 Pro cameras in third-party apps. Version 16.0.2 also deals with the overbearing "Allow Paste" notification that asks you every time you try to paste an item from one app to another. It also fixes other issues like VoiceOver not working after a reboot and touch input issues on older iPhones (iPhone X, iPhone XR and iPhone 11) after being serviced.

Apple releases fix for iOS, macOS security flaw that could allow hackers full control of your devices

If you haven't updated your Apple devices recently, you should do that as soon as possible. There's a major security vulnerability found in iOS and macOS devices discovered by an anonymous researcher that could allow hackers complete control of your device. The bugs existed within WebKit, Apple's browser engine that powers Safari and applications. The company has already released patches to combat these bugs. You just need to update your device to get protected. Apple didn't elaborate on how and where the vulnerabilities work or came from, but security experts warn that it affects almost all iPhone devices and Mac computers running macOS Monterey.

According to the report provided by Apple, the first vulnerability allows hackers complete access to a user's device. It could allow attackers to impersonate the device's owner and run any software in their name. Meanwhile, the second vulnerability was found in the browser engines used by Safari, Mail, and other iOS applications. This issue could allow attackers to execute code that could download malware onto your device.
