Apple's introduction of iOS 9 proved to be more of an evolutionary step forward than one of major revolution. As expected, Apple and its team of engineers have chosen to stabilize and improve with iOS 9 rather than introduce a whole host of new advanced features that could potentially introduce additional bugs and niggles. With that in mind, there's still enough in terms of new additions to keep even the hungriest of users happy, such as the inclusion of picture-in-picture (PiP) and multi view multitasking interfaces on the iPad. But why wait for the public release of iOS 9 when you can grab a small slice of what's to come immediately?
After dropping an initial teaser snippet back in May, Universal in collaboration with Legendary Pictures have today released the first official full-length trailer for the new Steve Jobs movie pencilled for release in October of this year. Rather than showing off a small little teaser that raises excitement but doesn't exactly show what will ultimately be brought to the big screen, Universal has lifted the curtain on a two-and-a-half-minute trailer that shows Michael Fassbender in action as the iconic Apple co-founder - Steve Jobs.
The port of the VLC media player app to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has stood the test of time to prove itself as one of the most popular media type apps on the iOS App Store, and the recent update will only serve to increase that popularity. Version 2.6.0, which should be showing as an immediate update via the App Store is a significant improvement over the previous version and shows that continued development of the platform is on the cards.
A lot of popular tweaks make fair and extensive use of Ryan Petrich's Activator package, which is currently now available on the developer's own repo in Cydia, updated in beta form for iOS 8.4.
While iOS 8.4 users are sitting back and enjoying the 30 million+ tracks that the Cupertino company's new Apple Music streaming service offers, spare a thought for those registered developers who are helping to test iOS 9. A large number of those registered on Apple's Developer Program will have taken the plunge and installed the initial iOS 9 beta on either their main hardware or a test device, but it means that they simply can't access Apple Music as it is yet to be activated in iOS 9. That could all change after a tweet by Apple's Eddy Cue seemingly confirmed that a new iOS 9 beta will be rolled out to developers "early next week."
This guide will help you jailbreak iOS 8.4 using TaiG jailbreak tool on Mac OS X. As you might already know, the TaiG tool is not available for OS X yet. The team behind the newly released jailbreak tool are catering to Windows users only - for now. But there's a way around it by means of virtualizing Windows 10 Insider Preview on your Mac, and the process is quite simple and straightforward.
Here's a step by step tutorial on how to jailbreak iOS 8.3, 8.2 and 8.1.3 using TaiG v2 on supported iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have undoubtedly been a huge success for Apple. After making the decision to break away from a 4-inch display and move into "phablet" territory with the iPhone 6 Plus, it's difficult to imagine how the Cupertino giant could ever go back to producing smaller screen smartphones. Now, after breaking records and basking in the glory of the iPhone 6, it appears that the time has come to usher in the next-generation iPhone, which, according to Bloomberg, is already in the process of being manufactured at various supply plants.
When iOS 9 is finally released to the public this fall, it will come with the ability to save almost any type of content as a unique PDF file. Any iOS developer who has ever worked on a third-party app that has a requirement to render any kind of complex content to PDF will understand how difficult it can be. The PDF file format can be unbelievably difficult and cumbersome to work with, which is why this latest feature discovered in iOS 9 is even more incredible than it initially looks.
