San Francisco, Apple has updated its app store to version 5.1 with voice support and a revamped search interface which, much like the App Store and iTunes Store, will now highlight the trending searches.

The update will allow users to tap the microphone icon along the search bar to dictate their search details instead of typing.

The search results page has been revamped as well, featuring a new card-based interface that would smoothen sorting through the results, 9to5Mac reported late on Friday.


"Search has been updated with an enhanced design. And it's now powered with speech recognition technology for better search results. With a fresh look and the addition of speech recognition technology, it's never been easier to find products, stores, sessions, and more," said Apple, describing its new app search look.


Additionally, Apple has also made updates to its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) app for iOS, promising bug fixes and performance improvements.


"This update includes bug fixes and improvements in several areas, including accessibility, stability, and video downloads. In addition, videos can be viewed by collection and platform on tvOS," Apple wrote in its update notes.


The WWDC and Apple Store applications are available for free on the App Store for iOS users.

Typing Taiwan Crashed iPhones. Here’s How It Happened

July 11, 2018
Chinese government has pretty strict rules for International technology and gadgets. Same has been applied to Apple’s iPhone as well as the company had to add a code to get thumbs up for the Chinese market.

However, this code led to a bug which caused a phone crash when users typed “Taiwan” or used Taiwanese flag emoji. The bug was spotted in the iOS 11.3 by a security researcher named Patrick Wardle who is a former hacker for the US National Security Agency.
Patrick wrote in his blog post-
“Though its impact was limited to a denial of service (null-pointer dereference), it made for an interesting case study of analysing iOS code.”
He further added-
“And if Apple hadn’t tried to appease the Chinese government in the first place, there would be no bug!”

According to a report in Engadget, many tech companies have to write a code to adapt to China’s strict rules, including its denial of Taiwan’s independent status.
Wardle found that certain language/region settings would return a “null” code, prompting the crash when referencing the island. However, he also noted that the error can be fixed by switching back and forth between China and another region.
The good news is that the bug has been fixed in iOS 11.4.1.
