It's typical in today's digital industry that we should begin talking about a product before its would-be predecessor has even hit the market, and although we're fairly sure that Apple will be announcing a new iPad 5 at some point this fall, resident Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities already has the scoop on the iPad 6, in a note which was picked up by 9to5Mac. Apparently, it will offer a resolution exceeding the current standard of Apple's so-called Retina iPad panel, with 30-40% more pixels over the 9.7-inch diameter.
Privacy is something that is very much the hot button topic on the Internet of late, and location privacy is possibly one of the biggest things that people are most concerned about. In a world where everything can track us in one way or another, people always feel like they're winning the battle if they can maintain a little bit of privacy.
Just like the Xbox 360's famed Ring of Death, the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) is almost always a sure sign that your PC is in need of a service, but while it has been the bane of Windows users' lives for many a year, it's not something we would usually associate with Apple products.
What do you get when you lock two of the world's most rockstar designers in a room, infuse them with inspiration and throw a charitable cause into the equation? It might sound like the beginning of a terrible joke doing the rounds on the Internet, but the reality is actually a lot more inspiring, heart-warming and aesthetically attractive. What you actually get is a bespoke, purpose made work-surface crafted out of solid aluminum that has been designed to raise money for one of the world's worthiest causes.
The reception of iOS 7 seems to have been one of positivity for the most part, but despite most users liking what they see, some are still finding their feet with what is easily the most changed version of Apple's mobile OS to date. One feature that some users may have presumed omitted from the fold is the .com button, which obviously makes the process of typing in most URLs just that little bit easier in Safari, but thankfully, it's still here, and in actual fact, it's not that difficult to find. Below, we've written up a short how-to tutorial on how you can find the .com shortcut and quickly return to business as usual.
Apple's incredible growth over the past ten to fifteen years has seen replications of its iconic Retail Store crop up all over the world, and as already confirmed by CEO Tim Cook, Turkey is about to get its very first. The big city, Istanbul, will play host to the unmistakably distinctive retail outlet, and specifically, it will reside within the Zorlu shopping mall.
So at this point it's no secret that iOS 7 on the iPad isn't exactly as well baked as it could be. Apple started the beta process for the iPad version of iOS 7 later than it did on the iPhone and iPod touch, and many had expected it to launch later too. Instead, Apple brought iOS 7 into the public domain across all its mobile devices simultaneously, leaving those running the software on a tablet with plenty of bugs to work with.
The iPhone 5c and in particular, the flagship iPhone 5s seem to have gone down very well with consumers in those initial launch nations, but while the latter has been in very short supply in the likes of the United States, Hong Kong and Australia, many other countries have yet to see the device hit shelves and online retailers. This all looks set to change very soon, though, and in just over three weeks, dozens more will see both handsets, bringing the grand total of official launch nations to more than 50 by November 1st.
In terms of tech product design, Apple's Jony Ive is arguably the most iconic. The somewhat enigmatic, cult figure of the Cupertino company has not only been responsible for some of the most memorable gadgets of our times, but was also the mastermind behind Apple's recent design overhaul of the iOS mobile operating system. If you cast your minds way back, you might remember the news that Sir Jony would be designing a one-off camera for Leica, and as first seen in November's Vanity Fair, the creation is just about ready.
It had to be the worst kept secret in the technology industry, and just about anyone with even a passing interest in Apple or iPads already knew that it was on the cards, but Apple is indeed set to hold an iPad announcement event later this month according to AllThingsD.
