Building Reincubate

Developing an app can be about innovation, but there are also its comforting rhythms. It's the end of July – time to announce that iOS 18 and iPadOS18 will be out soon, and that iPhone Backup Extractor fully supports them both.

iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 are just around the corner, and iPhone Backup Extractor fully supports them both. I’ve written this for the last 16 years, so let’s skip that and get to what’s new.

iPhone Backup Extractor turns 15 this year and now features full supports iOS 16 and macOS 13.

One of my annual highlights is drafting the annual iPhone Backup Extractor state of the union and compatibility report. For the 14th year: iPhone Backup Extractor supports iOS 15 and macOS 12.

Sadly all good things must come to an end, and we're closing the iPlayer Converter.

Now's my time to write what I've written every year for the last 12 years: iPhone Backup Extractor is compatible with the first beta versions of the new iOS. We shipped iPhone Backup Extractor 7.7.27 last week, adding support for the changes Apple have made to Messages. It's also fully compatible with macOS 11.

We're pleased to announce the launch of Reincubate Lookup for iOS and iPadOS. As of today, it's available as a free app in the App Store.

We’re excited to be launching Reincubate Lookup today. It addresses a question that we’ve run into many times over the years: given a serial number or IMEI from an Apple device, can we effectively identify it, and what it's capable of?

We’re going to be shuttering awdit in the coming weeks. Parts of it will live on internally in our other products, and we’ve been doing some planning for a follow-up awdit product which I hope will see the light of day. If you’ve been a user or a fan of awdit, thank you.
