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.

Some Google Photos users spotted old images being 'corrupted'

Reports and complaints have surfaced online from Google Photos users have found some of their older pictures to be "corrupted," as old physical photos would be at times. People have started to notice their years-old photos (over five years or so) have lines and deep cracks running through them, or they get blurry or distored in some areas. White dots seem to be the most common issue. But some photos seem to be more distorted than others. The issues is showing up everwhere from Android, iOS, to web versions of the app.

The corruption seems to persist when downloading the image, whether with individual downloads or using Google Takeout. Original copies don't seem to be impacted, but the edited ones are what show up in the Google Photos apps. Hopefully, Google pays attention to the issue and the complaints and fixes whatever the problem might be.

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 iPhone 15 Ultra tipped to replace Pro Max moniker, major redesign expected

Apple might be changing around the branding for its most premium iPhones. In his Power On  newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be rebranded to the iPhone 15 Ultra in 2023. This change could also coincide with the most significant redesign for the iPhone since the iPhone 12 came out in 2019. Gurman claims one of the biggest changes would be the shift to USB-C.

While this is far off, one of the immediate news Gurman talked about is the lack of another Apple event this fall. He claims the company will have new Mac mini, MacBook Pro, and iPad Pro models to launch before the year ends. However, these will be iterative, so Apple is "more likely" to share the products through press releases instead.
