Apple may be frantically attempting to fulfill demand for its recently announced iPhone 6 / 6 Plus, second-generation iPad Air and iMac with Retina 5K display, but it seems that the company also has one eye firmly fixed on its product roadmap for next year.
Not content with the powerful new iPad Air 2, which Apple showcased during last month's big media event, the rumor mill still has its sights on the elusive iPad Pro, and whilst it has long since been reckoned that the larger slate would be arriving at some point in the near future, we now have some new details and revelations as to what said device will entail. As well as a 12.2-inch display - a change in direction from the long-rumored 12.9-inch setup - the slab might also include extra speakers, and with a thin profile set to give even the iPhone 6 a run for its money in terms of slickness, there are plenty of reasons to be getting excited.
Apple has released the open source 'Darwin' code of OS X 10.10 Yosemite in a roll-out that occurred last night, and considering the release of Darwin 10.9 last year, has popped up right on cue.
OS X Yosemite was released only a few weeks back, and there are already reports flying in that Apple’s desktop OS is suffering from some serious Wi-Fi related bugs.
The Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus haven’t just been popular smartphones among critics and consumers, but in terms of sales, they’ve already broken all kinds of records. Rivaling vendors in the mobile industry have sought to counter, with Google having recently taken the wraps off the Motorola-made Nexus 6 smartphone, but the rampant success of the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus won't have stung any competitor quite as severely as Samsung. The Korean outfit's Note series, considered flagship alongside the Galaxy S line-up, has been a saving grace for fans of handsets with large displays, but even with the Galaxy Note 4 announcement being bolstered by the intriguing Galaxy Note Edge, there's seemingly little that the Tizen maker can do to halt the dominance of its bitter rival.
Shazam has essentially eliminated that ever-so-annoying "what song is this, again?" conversation that we used to have amongst ourselves whenever we heard a song we liked on the radio. As a third-party app / service, it's been running for years now, but with iOS 8, Apple took the favorable step of baking it into Siri. So instead of using the app - which becomes typically hard to find when you know a song is about to end - one can simply ask for title, artist and album through the digital slave that is Siri. Yes, this is even more convenient than Shazam as we already knew it pre-iOS 8, but then again, at least Shazam keeps a neat list that we can always refer to. iOS 8 does too, although it's a little trickier to find, and so, we've compiled a very little guide to help you find a list of the songs that you've asked Siri to tag.
In the run-up to the launch of the Apple Watch, many expected the wearable to be treated to the "iWatch" moniker, but while we now know this will not be the case, the owner of the iWatch trademark in Europe is looking to diversify its business to include - yep - smartwatches. Probendi, a company based in Ireland, trademarked the name some time ago, and while the software outfit has very little experience in terms of hardware, is planning on coming through with its very own smartwatch anyway.
One ambitious concept maker has crafted an interesting render of what a Google Glass-esque product might look like if Apple's design team was at the helm. It features, among other perks, a micro projector that beams content directly onto the lens, and while it seems far-fetched that such a slimline, stylish look could be achievable at this point in time, the designer suggests that Apple's own face computer could be something to consider in years to come.
Following Tim Cook's appearance for an interview at the Wall Street Journal's WSJD Live conference, some very interesting bits of information have surfaced regarding Apple's rise against the tide - as always. Brief videos of the event have surfaced on the Internet and Cook is seen talking about the Apple Watch, Apple Pay, a very interesting prospective partnership with Alibaba, and more.
Hugo Barra is a well-known figure in the world of Android and smartphones. At the WSJD Live event today, Barra - the ex-VP of Android and current VP at Xiaomi - stated that the iPhone 6 is the most beautiful smartphone ever built. Google literally must have heard the violins screech.
