The typefaces you can use to display your books remain the same. Let me explain: once you have a book open and you’re actually reading it, everything in the new Books app looks and works much as it always did. With the new name comes a new look-for those parts of the app you spend the least amount of time using. In fact, “iBooks” is no more: in iOS 12, Apple has re-christened the app “Apple Books.” At least that’s what it calls itself internally the app icon is merely called Books. Nonetheless, iBooks has looked almost completely unchanged since Apple demolished its skeuomorphic wooden shelving back in the early days of iOS 7 (see “ Apple Unveils Completely Redesigned iOS 7,” 10 June 2013). That wisdom, however, isn’t entirely true: Apple has, as it characteristically does, made incremental improvements to its ebook reading app a number of times since its DOJ debacle. #1656: Passcode thieves lock iCloud accounts, the apps Adam uses, iPhoto and Aperture library conversion in VenturaĪs conventional wisdom would have it, Apple’s ignominious defeat in the Department of Justice’s ebook price-fixing suit a few years back so soured Apple on the book business that the company let its iBooks division languish ever since (see “ Explaining the Apple Ebook Price Fixing Suit,” 10 July 2013).#1657: A deep dive into the innovative Arc Web browser.#1658: Rapid Security Responses, NYPD and industry standard AirTag news, Apple's Q2 2023 financials.#1659: Exposure notifications shut down, cookbook subscription service, alarm notification type proposal, Explain XKCD.
