iOS keyboard cursor now works on all devices running iOS 12
One of the iPhone’s most useful 3D Touch features is the ability to turn your keyboard into a trackpad while typing, and with iOS 12, this functionality is coming to handsets without Apple’s pressure-sensitive technology.

But a new report shows that despite this high-profile crackdown, the FDA isn’t doing enough when it comes to another part of the vaping market: copycats.
Two years ago, the FDA new rules in place that essentially banned new e-cig companies from entering the market unless they went through an extensive review process. According to a new Reuters report, however, in the years since, more than a dozen vaping devices have started selling with little consequence.
These include both large tobacco companies like British…
