Once the early buzz surrounding the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has begun to peter out, attentions will naturally turn to the other major announcement that Apple made at its big keynote event earlier on this month. After the formality of the Cupertino's two latest handsets was completed, Tim Cook and his executive team took the wraps off Apple Watch, and although the market is going to be waiting quite a while for a hands-on, the Mac maker has granted one or two watch-focused blogs the opportunity to do precisely that. As well as posting a lengthy review and some delicious snaps, a new article also insights how app installation and management of Apple Watch will be controlled through a dedicated iPhone app, and if you've been waiting on those key details regarding the functionality of the wearable everyone's talking about, then join us after the leap!
OS X Yosemite 10.10 Gold Master (GM) candidate is now available for download at the Mac Dev Center, signaling the fact that public release is near. More details can be found right here.
From what we've so far seen of Apple Watch - which, admittedly, isn't a great deal - the functionality looks fairly adept and fit for purpose, but given Jony Ive's reported utterances that Switzerland was in trouble, coupled with the reviews of several key figures in the timepiece industry, there's no doubting the fact that the Cupertino's new wearable makes a considerable fashion statement as well. Given that Paris is among the most renowned fashion-centered cities in the world, it seems as good a venue as any to play host to the showcasing of the undeniably cool gadget, and at the Colette Boutique in the French capital, Apple Watch has just gone on display. Check some of the photos after the break.
Thus far, Apple has launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in just under 30 nations, with the initial roll-out in the United States, United Kingdom and several others on September 19th followed closely by the addition of a further 20 countries only last Friday. Conspicuous by its absence, however, has been China, an emerging market with something of an affinity to Apple's product line-up. But with the news having trickled out to the blogosphere a short while ago that Chinese regulators has approved both of the Mac maker's new smartphones for retail, Apple has now confirmed that the larger handsets will be available throughout the world's most populous nation as of October 17th.
Apple's iOS 8 seemed to be experiencing a smooth initial transition, with millions of users downloading on the very first day of its launch and bugs apparently as minor as they were few. But after the mess that Apple made with iOS 8.0.1, things seem to have gone downhill somewhat, and it now appears that iOS 8's 'Reset All Settings' feature is also removing iCloud Drive documents apparently safe in Apple's secure online storage hub.
Apple has just released iOS 8.1 beta 1 download for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. The first beta build carries a build number of 12B401 and is available to download immediately for registered developers, and is likely an update which includes support for Apple Pay and other bug fixes.
We heard late on last week that Apple could be plotting the roll out of a refreshed Mac mini next month to coincide with the launch of OS X 10.10 Yosemite as well as the iPad mini 3 and iPad Air 2. A new report has added another release to a growing list of touted products set to arrive over the next few weeks, noting that Apple is also set to take the wraps off a 27-inch iMac with Retina display. Citing sources familiar with Apple's product movements, the report suggests that this as-yet unannounced keynote may be much larger than first anticipated, but like the purported Mac mini refresh, the Cupertino company will be forced into using the ageing Haswell processor from Intel rather than the imminent Broadwell.
The Web is awash with animated GIFs, and thanks to the introduction of iOS 8 and its third-party keyboard support, the authors of such apps have sought to make it easier than ever before to share these moving images. But the GIF isn't the only file type supportive of animation, and although the Animated Portable Network Graphic, or APNG, was assumed to be dying out, Safari for iOS 8 actually supports APNGs as standard. What's more, those using a beta or Developer Preview of OS X 10.10 Yosemite will also be able to indulge, and although both of Apple's new pieces of software have been inundated with new features, this is one that we certainly did not foresee.
Here is a list of the top 15 battery saving tips for iOS 8 running on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users that will help you maximize battery life and get you through the day with ease.
The Apple iPhone 6 has been unboxed at least ten million times since launching some eight days ago, and although some folks have a ritualistic system for how they unravel their gadgets, few will have played out like this one.
