Well known developer Winocm has managed to achieve "one of the core milestones" pertaining to a project he has been working on for quite some time. Those who follow the activity of the developer on his Twitter feed will more than likely know about the project he has been working on for quite some time. With a little help from Steven Troughton-Smith, Winocm has managed to port the core elements of Apple's iOS operating system onto non-Apple hardware.
Honda may have already announced earlier this year that it would support Apple's Siri Eyes Free feature in some of its cars, but the Japanese car maker hasn't stopped there. Not content with already being towards the forefront of Apple's mobile integration within cars, Honda has now confirmed that it will also be the first car firm to offer iOS mirroring in one of its upcoming automobiles.
Apple's iPad may be used by many of us to play games, view video clips and catch up with bits of work on-the-fly, but as the Cupertino cpmany has pointed out before, the tablet can be life-changing to some. To once again show some of the different benefits of owning an iPad, the Cupertino giant has launched a new webpage entitled "Life on iPad," highlighting a myriad of industries and situations currently taking advantage of the market-leading slate.
Apple's Touch ID had been rumored to be on its way to devices for some time, and when it was finally unveiled as part of the iPhone 5s we all marveled at how Apple managed to take a fingerprint sensor and build it right into the Home button to the extent that you wouldn't know it was there. These things always seem even more impressive when shown as part of an exploded diagram, which is why everyone should take notice of the fact that Apple's Touch ID is now part of a patent application with the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
As consumers continue to snap up the extremely well-received iPhone 5s, we are already hearing speculation suggesting that Apple isin the process of field testing the next generation iPhone. It was only a matter of time before the iPhone 6 rumors began to circulate, with this particular Far East based website going into a fair amount of detail about Apple's current plans and testing schedule for next year's model.
We've already spoken about our high hopes for what Apple's iBeacon may turn into and we've made no bones about the fact that it may be the best kept secret of iOS 7, considering it got little to no press when the mobile operating system launched a couple of months ago. It seems that some people were paying attention though, and hot on the heels of Major League Baseball's decision to trial iBeacon at ball parks, department store Macy's is also putting Apple's location aware technology through its paces at some of its own stores.
Apple has finally updated its Find My Friends app for iOS, bringing with it a brand new and refreshed look for iOS 7. More details and download link can be found right here.
With the iPad mini, and more recently, the iPad mini with Retina display now taking pride of place alongside the tactically rebranded iPad Air, Apple's tablet range is as diverse as it has ever been. But with many other companies going larger than the 9.7-inch diameter of the full-size device's screen, there have been numerous suggestions that Apple will come through with a model packing a 12.9-inch Retina panel. Apparently, manufacturers have been given the green light to go ahead and produce this very display for the so-called "iPad Pro," which will, according to reports, release during the first part of 2014.
It's amazing how quickly companies like Apple, Samsung and others magically find stock of their hardware just in time for consumers to get their hands on to send as gifts to family and loved ones. The iPhone 5s has been suffering from a serious lack of availability in the time that has followed since its launch, a problem that seems to be fixed just in time for the holiday shopping season.
It's almost a given that every Apple product launch will feature some kind of focus on the environmental status of the hardware as well as the recyclability of the components used to manufacture the device. This dedication to cleaner living is also outlined by the existence of the company's "Reuse and Recycle" program that lets users trade-in old devices. Starting today, Apple will make some changes to their recycling program by relaxing restrictions around devices that have been shown to have suffered from some water damage, according to Apple Retail employees.
