iOS 7 final for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and iTunes 11.1 for Windows and OS X wasn’t the only thing that was released yesterday by Apple. In addition to giving the general public access to the latest revision of iOS, Apple has also made some very important changes to their iCloud bookmark synchronization services that will provide additional functionality to those who use a Windows based PC. More details can be found after the jump.
Apple's new iPhone launches always prompt those die-hard fans into camping and queuing for ungodly periods of time outside those iconic retail stores, and with the iPhone 5s being touted by many as the most significant such launch for many a year, it's unsurprising that queuing has been running pretty much all week. What's more, one London-based student - first in line to grab the new device at the Regent Street branch - is actually looking to sell his spot in line for up to £1000.
Apple certainly knows how to make a good ad, there's never been any doubt of that. Starting back with the original iPod ads, the Cupertino outfit has made a stellar job of not only capturing the attention of the public, but also its imagination with the often super-colorful ads that it creates.
After months of teasing, iOS 7 download links are now live for iPhone 5, 4s, 4, iPad mini, iPad, and iPod touch. We have been closely monitoring the progress that iOS 7 has been making throughout its beta stages, and most of us at Redmond Pie have mixed opinions about Apple's new shiny mobile software. A few things are for certain, however, iOS 7 has improved hugely since the first beta, and it will be a incredibly huge change for those updating from iOS 6 unaware of what is about to land on their device.
iOS 7 will be available to download today. While iOS 7 represents a total overhaul to Apple's mobile OS, only time will tell what the mainstream public reaction will be to the changes that represent the post Scott Forstall era at Apple. If you have a compatible device capable of running iOS 7, then it's time to back up that device, make a note of the release schedule and get ready to hammer Apple's authentication servers.
iOS wasn’t the only thing that went flat at this year’s WWDC. Apple also took the liberty of taking its newly found design language and put it in other places, too.
We at Redmond Pie have been seeing iOS 7.0.1 and .1 in the logs for weeks now, with the volume of hits growing as the time has passed, as can be seen in the screenshots below.
Although Apple currently have their hands full for the next few days as they roll out the public release of iOS 7, it seems that they still have the manpower to make some important changes to how application distribution works with the App Store. The much anticipated iOS 7 will go live tomorrow with literally millions of devices all hitting Apple's servers to get the biggest change to the OS yet, but behind-the-scenes they have made some changes to the App Store that will allow users to download legacy version of the apps compatible with older firmware running on the device
Prior to the official unveiling of a new gadget, particularly one bearing the famous bitten apple logo, case and accessory makers like to get ahead of the game by preparing and releasing cases early on in the day. However, until the official announcement has passed and the company behind said gadget has released the schematics, one can never be sure of the device's precise measurements. Today, Apple has released the schematics of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, so if you are a maker of cases or perhaps just intrigued by the intricacies of a device's construction, then you can check out all of the details after the leap.
The iPhone and iPad ranges borrow features from one another all the time, and with the iPhone 5s having been officially unveiled and almost ready for release, attention has quickly turned to the iPad, and what kind of changes Apple will be making to its tablet duo. As well as a fingerprint sensor and some other general niceties, the new flagship Apple smartphone has also brought forth a gold color configuration, and with the iPad mini and full-size iPad both due an upgrade at some point in the near future, resident designer of Apple gadgets Martin Hajek has dreamt up a champagne/gold colored iPad mini. Check it out after the break!
