We'd been hearing off-and-on about Apple's iOS in the Car since it was detailed at last year's WWDC. Today, the Cupertino officially unveiled it under the less wordy, more Apple CarPlay branding, and now, manufacturer Volvo has chimed in with a new video showcasing how the system looks and functions in practice. Check it out after the break!
In an official press release coming out of the Geneva International Motor Show Apple today announced that it is in the process of rolling out CarPlay. CarPlay is Apple's official new name for the iOS in the Car technology that we have been hearing so much about over the last twelve months, bringing a whole new way for users to interact with their iOS device in a motor vehicle.
Apple's 'iOS in the Car' initiative has been one of Apple's least publicized in a long while. First announced last year and then almost forgotten about immediately, it probably wouldn't be unfair to put it in the same category as the likes of Ping for monumental failures. That doesn't mean that Apple's car integration angle for iOS is a bad idea, it just means that it's taken considerably longer than we expected to see anything come to fruition.
Throughout 2013 and for the first few weeks of this year, Apple has been actively updating and improving the range of content available through Apple TV. The once-forgotten set-top has, it would seem, become a priority of Tim Cook's company after years in obscurity, and, incidentally, some time after Cook himself described the little black box as a mere "hobby." Nowadays, the future couldn't look brighter for the compact entertainment device, and right now, Apple is running a promotion offering $25 of iTunes credit with each new purchase through its Retail Stores as well as online, as pointed out first by 9to5Mac.
The maker of the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV has updated its iOS Security document to include intricate, detailed information pertaining to the Touch ID sensor that is found on the iPhone 5s. The launch of the iPhone 5s, along with the ability to authenticate and access the device using biometric detection, brought with it a myriad of questions and concerns from the security conscious. Apple hopes that the updated PDF document will answer a few of those outstanding concerns.
Even in the midst of Mobile World Congress, Apple has managed to end up grabbing headlines after an analyst claimed that the company's iPhone 6 will be available sooner than expected. In fact, according to Mizuho Securities analyst Abhey Lamba, the highly anticipated new iPhone could be on stores as early as July, months before the usual September release timeframe that Apple has used in the past.
Apple has finally flipped the switch and made the OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks download available to the end users today. Details on what the update brings and how to download or update can be found below.
With yesterday being what would have been Steve Jobs' birthday had he still been with us, there's arguably no better day to show off a new statue of the man. Talk of such a thing has been on the go ever since he died following a battle with cancer, and today is the day that we got to see what it will actually look like.
Sports entertainment industry is perhaps one of those that will always continue to bloom, and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is right in the middle of it. About 20 days back, we told you about the entertainment giant’s plans to go digital only, thriving in the world of online subscriptions and specifically aiming for getting a spot in the digital space. The network at that time claimed that it will go live on the digital platforms February 24th, and we promised that we’ll remind you when that happens. Well, it’s here - the moment is live - and WWE now resides on the Apple TV, iOS, Android, PlayStation, Xbox and the Web.
