The Apple Watch is, without a doubt, the most anticipated wearable of 2015, and now we have CEO Tim Cook talking about how the device will become more than just a limited functionality gadget some time into its release.
We're all very much in Apple Watch mode right now, and with Apple having just sent invitations out for a March 9th event at which it will go into greater detail about its upcoming smartwatch, we offer no apology for that fact. Beyond the March 9th media event though there is little else concrete about the watch, which probably explains why we are all so interested in seeing what Apple has to say.
A short while ago, Apple confirmed the widely-suspected notion that it would soon be holding a special media event, having just sent out invitations for a gathering at the Yerba Buena on March 9th. Most of the time, these keynotes are beamed out to the masses, although occasionally, Apple does surprise us by not streaming live. In this instance, though, interested parties will be able to follow the thrills and spills of the 'Spring forward' event as it happens, with Apple having just confirmed that live streams will be available.
Apple has just sent out press invites for an event to be held on March 9th with the tagline “Spring forward.” It is being speculated that the event will focus on the Apple Watch, and hopefully we’ll get to know the pricing and other details.
Apple's marketing efforts have now tapped into the famous Vogue magazine, where its smartwatch has been covered quite handsomely in its March issue. Featured in a multi-page spread, we take a look at the photos and further details, right after the jump.
During September's unveiling, Apple revealed much about its upcoming smartwatch endeavor. As such, we know that owning an iPhone will be a prerequisite, that it will integrate with some of the company's newer platforms like Apple Pay and HealthKit, and that there'll be dozens of different configurations in total. What we have yet to hear are specifics on the device's splash / waterproof abilities, but the company's head honcho Tim Cook has shed some light on this matter during a recent trip to Germany.
Apple Watch will, according to company CEO Tim Cook, begin shipping from April, and since we're now closing in on that launch period, the guesswork has well and truly begun about what the device will offer, how many units it could shift, and generally, how consumers will take to the much-hyped wearable. No matter what the subject or rumor, there always, always seems to be one analyst whose calculations stick out like a sore thumb, and on the topic of the Apple Watch, an equities research expert has suggested that there'll be 100,000 apps ready at launch.
Today would mark the 60th birthday of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, and Tim Cook honored the great visionary with a tweet while quoting one of his sayings. Head on over the jump for more details.
Apple's iPhone has been a continued success story, with sales improving as each new version arrives. One model that does stick out a little is the iPhone 5c, which was the company's attempt at a more affordable handset, and although it has divided opinion, continues to retail alongside the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. In the run-up to last September, it was reckoned that colorful, plastic-clad 5c would be scrapped, but having been thrown out for a second run, it may well be here to stay. One concept maker seems to agree, and as such, has come through with some impressive renders of what the next version - should it ever manifest itself - may look like.
Following the release of iOS 8.3 beta 2 today, plenty of attention has turned to working out what differentiates this release from the first one. Beyond the usual bug fixes, a new set of emoji characters, and re-jigging of how everything hangs together deep inside iOS, one new feature has already gotten the attention of Siri users around the globe.
