Whenever a new OS is released on any platform, there usually lies a series of hidden gems and goodies within, and OS X Mavericks, which released earlier on this week at Apple's special iPad event, is no exception to the rule. As well as the new stock wallpapers, there are 43 "hidden" backgrounds on offer to those on the new, California-themed flavor of OS X, and although they don't necessarily relate to the fruit company's home state, they are still rather easy on the eye. If you are looking for some alternative backdrops for your newly-updated Mac, then check out the details after the jump!
There have been software updates flying around like confetti for the last few days, and while the Mac, iPhone, iPad and even the iPod touch have all received new versions of their software recently, it seems that someone inside Apple still had time to remember the company's hobby.
As fans of the show continue to lament the end of popular TV series Breaking Bad, the guy behind the main character of Breaking Bad - Walter White - has already managed to wrangle himself a pretty decent new role - as the voice of one of Apple's new ad for the iPad Air. The device, which succeeds the fourth-generation Apple tablet as of next month, has already caused a bit of a stir among tech fans, and with Cranston's influential tone now a part of the ad campaign, expect the tactically-entitled slate to sell well in its first week on sale.
Yesterday was undoubtedly a pretty big day for iPad lovers. Not only did Apple dish up a refreshed iPad but it also changed its name to the relatively unpopular iPad Air. Alongside the new Retina iPad mini 2, the new iPad Air takes the original iPad and improves upon it in all kinds of ways.
OS X Mavericks, Apple's newly-released update to its famed desktop operating system, may not offer a mind-boggling set of new features and improvements to the naked eye, but in actual fact, the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air notebooks both look set to reap the benefits of extended battery life.
It ha already been a pretty huge day as far as app updates were concerned when we settled down not that long ago, thinking that it may finally be time to take a deep breath and reflect on that day's going-ons. Alas, someone at Apple clearly had better ideas though, because not long ago they flipped the switch which sees yet more of the company's first-party iOS apps updated.
Apple’s much anticipated event today came to a close a few hours back, but left the blogosphere abuzz in its wake with news and views on all the great tech that the Cupertino-based company showcased, including OS X Mavericks, the new iPads, a fresh MacBook Pro, the behemoth that they call Mac Pro, along with software improvements like iWork and iLife. There was so much more that the event had to offer, and here, we’re going to provide a quick run down in case you missed the action earlier. The event is also available to stream online again, link for which is given at the end of this post.
Apple cannot resist coming through with the confusing names, and now we find ourselves with the iPad 2, fifth-gen iPad Air, iPad mini, and the new iPad mini with Retina display. With so many options both old and new, allied to Apple's almost arbitrary naming patterns, it may be a rather confusing state of affairs, so here, we take a close look at the four Apple tablets including features, specs and prices.
Apple’s newest hardware is here for a lot of device lineups, including the iPad, which has seen the launch of the new iPad Air and the second gen iPad mini with Retina display. The new devices are all shiny and cool, boasting the latest in hardware and software both, but that doesn’t mean we can forget the old ones just yet. Although the iPad 2 and iPad mini are rather old now, they’re still continuing, albeit at a lower cost for the first-gen iPad mini. The iPad 2 will continue to sell for a price of $399, while the first-gen iPad mini will continue to retail at a new starting price point of $299.
After iOS 7 and iOS 7.0.2, official direct download links for iOS 7.0.3 are live for iPhone 5s, 5c, 5, 4s, 4, iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch fifth-generation.
