Apple opened up its proprietary 30-pin dock connector to third-party developers back in 2008, with iOS 3.0 APIs enabling hardware accessories to communicate with your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad via dedicated apps.

Today, Apple released the first beta of iOS 12.1. While it may seem too soon to start yet another beta cycle, software is never really completed, so it makes sense for Apple to offer betas to allow developers and users to start filing bug reports and testing new features, including the much-awaited group FaceTime. As usual, Apple’s software release also offers some hints as to future features… While investigating into what’s new on this beta, we noticed that Apple has introduced a new daemon to iOS, called avatarsd....

A new iOS 12 concept illustrates a mix of ideas – one good, one likely to get mixed views, and a couple of wish list fantasy items thrown in for good measure … The idea I really like is grouped notifications. Instead of a purely sequential stream of notifications, iOS would group them logically by application. For example, if you had three new messages, these would all be shown together. Similarly for reminders, app updates and so on....
