Apple Music Sing is the new karaoke feature that Apple is introducing with iOS 16.2, and probably just in time for you to relish or abhor at Christmas parties this holiday season. Like it or loathe it, though, there is one thing that is certain it isn't the Apple Music Classical app that Apple has promised by the end of the year.

Starting by the end of this year and carrying into 2023, though, are new security features that have left the FBI feeling "deeply concerned." The Feds say they want backdoor access into our data, and Apple is making them come up with new euphemisms for breaking end-to-end encryption.

Somewhat less controversially, the forthcoming iOS 16.2  and also updates to macOS Ventura and iPadOS  are finally bringing us Apple's new Freeform app. When you get it, you'll clearly recognize its roots in Keynote, Apple Notes, and Pages, but it's taking those best features and making something mew with them.

Plus Apple TV+ has achieved another first  its "Slow Horses" drama is the very first show from the streamer to be nominated for an award by the Writers' Guild of Great Britain.
