Apple cannot resist coming through with the confusing names, and now we find ourselves with the iPad 2, fifth-gen iPad Air, iPad mini, and the new iPad mini with Retina display. With so many options both old and new, allied to Apple's almost arbitrary naming patterns, it may be a rather confusing state of affairs, so here, we take a close look at the four Apple tablets including features, specs and prices.
Today may have, in the eyes of many, been all about the new iPad, but in actual fact, a small faction of Apple fans have been waiting a great deal longer for the Mac Pro. The revamped version has been some years in the waiting, and after being partially unveiled at this year's WWDC, Apple has finally showcased the new machine. Inherently powerful, it packs in some of the most up-to-date hardware currently available, and you can catch all of the key details right after the break!
After iOS 7 and iOS 7.0.2, official direct download links for iOS 7.0.3 are live for iPhone 5s, 5c, 5, 4s, 4, iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch fifth-generation.
Having been announced all the way back at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference, OS X Mavericks -- Apple's first break from the series of "big cat" releases of the desktop operating system -- is now ready for public consumption. Available as a free download to those starting from OS X Snow Leopard all the way to Mountain Lion, it brings quite a few changes from last year's release of OS X Mountain Lion, and if you've been waiting for the update following last month's release of iOS 7, you can now go ahead and get started with Mavericks.
If techies ruled national holidays, today would be known as "iPad day," and for a good while now, we've been looking forward to the grand unveiling of the fifth-generation Cupertino slate. In today's announcement, the fruit company has not disappointed, and as well as bringing an entirely revamped, thinner and lighter overall design, the device is also more compact, boasts some tidy new display tech, and a brand new name: iPad Air.
Today has been a reasonably busy day for Apple, and among all of the new hardware and exciting products, the Cupertino, Calif.-based company has released updated version of its iWork and iLife apps for both iOS and OS X, covering iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, Keynote, Numbers and Pages. Although Apple has been doing its utmost to promote its in-house range of apps in recent times - no less by making them free to those picking up an iOS 7-enabled device - the apps themselves have felt as though they've been caught in a time warp, but with newly-designed icons, cleaner UI and plenty of features besides, Apple's famed work and play suites now look very much in-keeping with the recently-released iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks.
The iPad media event has just kicked off and Craig Federighi has announced the final availability of OS X Mavericks along with its pricing structure. More details can be found right here.
Today, Apple will be making some pretty significant announcements at their special media event, with the iPad 5 and Retina iPad mini both expected to be showcased alongside a number of other products and services. It mightn't always be the case that Apple events are streamed online for all to see, but thankfully, those looking to follow the action in its entirety can do so via live stream.
The gold model of the new iPhone 5s has been highly sought-after by a large portion of consumers, but while the rear cover and accents offer the novel champagne finish, the device itself is still largely white, and those looking for a darker color configuration are left only with the Space Gray variant. However, a Black + Gold version, made using legitimate components from a Space Gray and Gold model iPhone 5s, has now appeared on eBay, and with it being the first of its kind comprised of 100% Apple-manufactured parts, those interested will have to pony up a cool $3,600 for the privilege.
Apple and technology fans alike are highly anticipating the introduction of the new iPad lineup at tomorrow's Apple media event. The tagline of the official event invitation suggests that Tim Cook and his team has a lot to talk about, with the update to the official Apple website giving more than a little indication what the company's iLife and iWork range of iOS apps will feature on the agenda at some point.
