Few Apple employees capture the imagination quite like Sir Jony Ive. British in a distinctly James Bond kinda way, Ive is the man that not only designs all of the hardware that comes out of Cupertino, but following the ousting of Scott Forstall he now also oversees all of Apple's software design. The result is a 'love it or hate it' kinda thing - the hardware may be universally acclaimed but the same can't be said of the software.
When Apple announced its new iPads and the impressive iMac with Retina 5K display it was also wise enough to be candid about the problems that iOS 8 has faced so far, with bugs galore having apparently managed to squeak their way through Apple's in-house quality assurance. The new iOS 8.1 update has been in beta testing for a little while now, and while developers have been able to work with the software already, mere mortals will be able to install the important update from this coming Monday.
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus lines are still stretching down the entire street outside the flagship Apple Store in NYC. As always, eager consumers lined up in massive numbers outside the store on launch date - as expected. However a month later, people are still seen lining up in huge numbers to get their hands on iPhone 6/6 Plus.
Here’s a complete step by step guide on how to do a clean install of OS X Yosemite on your Mac. The final build of OS X Yosemite is now available for download with a huge range of Macs being supported. On paper, if your Mac can run Mavericks, then you’re eligible to install Yosemite, and that too for free.
The iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 are now available to pre-order in select countries. As it seems to be the case with Apple hardware at the moment, demand for the revamped iPad lineup is sure to exceed initial stock levels, therefore, if you want to be one of the first to own Apple’s latest tablets, then you better act now.
Well, it's been quite the day of announcements in Cupertino. Still reeling from the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus announcement and then subsequent pre-order fiasco followed by launch, we then had to put up with Bendgate fiasco. Now Apple has bestowed upon us a whole new collection of goodies for us to lust after and if we're really lucky, place orders for. They say that time stands still for no man, and that's doubly true if you're working at 1 Infinite Loop.
The iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 have been officially announced, and the big question in everyone’s mind right now is: how do they compare to the original iPad Air and the iPad mini 2 with Retina display from last year?
With all the excitement surrounding the release of new hardware alongside the public release of OS X 10.10 Yosemite, it's easy to miss some of the smaller, almost stealthy going-ons at Apple. One of those is the release of iTunes 12.0.1 that has just gone live for Mac OS X and Windows users.
The wait is over. You can now download Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite final for your Mac right now. Apple's OS X 10.10 Yosemite was announced all the way back at this year's WWDC event in June, and since then, we've followed its progress continually as it has sauntered through the Developer Previews and Public Betas. Recently, it reached Golden Master status, and with a couple of further GMs having subsequently rolled out as the Cupertino applied the finishing touches, Yosemite is finally ready for the masses. The FINAL release is now upon us, and we've all the details of how you can get hold of it right here.
While all the attention from Apple's big event today is quite rightly falling on that rather impressive Retina 5K iMac as well as the updated iPad Air, there is one particular feature of Apple's new tablet that seems to have almost been squeezed in under the radar. Apple made no mention of it during the announcement of the iPad Air 2 and it was instead left to languish amongst all of the other features laid out on the product's Web page.
