Apple may yet to have announced the impending iPhone 6, but China Mobile, the nation's foremost carrier, is already taking pre-orders of the device. Although it seems strange for a network operator to begin making such moves a full week before announcement, it's not uncommon as the scrum begins to gather in the army of consumers, and although prospective iPhone 6 owners on China Mobile can select from the 4.7-inch or 5.5-inch models, key details and actual images of the device are, rather unsurprisingly, off the agenda for now.
An integrated extension for Things, the neat, revered to-do app from Cultured Code, brings a significant overhaul to the overall experience in time for iOS 8, and although the improvements have been a long time in the works - the Things UI has yet to be tweaked in line with iOS 7 - it appears as though the wait has been well worth it.
In case you missed it, a number of high-profile celebrities had their very private images leaked onto the Web. But while it was rumored that Apple's iCloud infrastructure was to blame for the large-scale breach, the Cupertino giant has stepped out and denied that its services were to blame in an official statement on the matter.
OS X Yosemite 10.10 is nearing its projected release bracket, and with a bunch of Developer Previews already under its belt, Apple has just rolled out Yosemite DP7 to developers. The new build, which has been given the version number 14A343f, offers a couple of minor additions as well as the usual dose of bug fixes and performance enhancements, and you can catch all of the main details below.
We're not sure what we're looking forward to the most when Apple takes the covers off the iPhone 6 - the chance to buy one or the end of all the leaks. Don't get us wrong, we find the whole cat and mouse thing as much as anyone, but it does eventually start to get little bit silly.
It's inevitable that once the iPhone 6 is announced on September 9th’s media event, it won't be too long before we begin getting excited about what's next with the iPhone 7. In fact, it often feels as though we're constantly sitting in wait for the Next Big Thing once the novelty of the latest and greatest has worn off, and a rather humorous new comic documenting iPhone Fever completely hits the nail on the head.
Apple’s new iPhone 6 announcement is barely a week away now, and the excitement around the upcoming media event is at an all time high. The Cupertino tech giant is not only expected to unveil the new 4.7-inch iPhone 6 flagship smartphone, but also unveil the wearable lineup that might (or might not) end up being called the iWatch. Along with these, we are expecting to see the public availability of the iOS 8, the OS X Yosemite, and hopefully a few other goodies as well.
If you happen to be on a capped data plan, you'll know all about using certain apps sparingly while monitoring roaming settings like a hawk. But while it's seemingly obvious that a YouTube binge is going to quickly use up that precious quota, Apple's iMessage is a comparatively silent culprit. After all, you can send images, videos, audio clips and text with relative ease, and unlike with WhatsApp and others, they're not heavily compressed. If you want to keep abreast of iMessage's data-usage habits, checking the amount of cellular MBs used is possible at stock level, and although the feature is a little obscure, you can easily access it with just a little bit of navigation.
If you've ever wanted to buy your favorite beverage using just your iPhone then you may be a step close to that reality after new reports appeared earlier that have Apple and major payment firms doing deals to bring mobile payments to iOS.
The fact that all iOS apps need to be approved by Apple in order to make their way into the App Store is both a blessing and a curse for the platform, but nobody can deny that it, most of the time at least, guarantees at least some sort of minimum design quality. It also means that developers often need to jump through hoops in order to get their hard work in front of those that they hope will download it.
