Ditching the theme of big cats with its OS X releases, Apple has instead gone down the direction of its California home state in the naming of the next few installments, and first up is OS X Mavericks. The Cupertino-based company has brought a host of new changes to the fold, including Finder tabs, multiple displays Tagging and more, and we've got all the details coming right up after the break.
Today, as if a reminder was ever required, is the opening morning of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, otherwise known as WWDC. If you're reading this, chances are you're eagerly awaiting the revelations and announcements from Moscone West, and with the wait almost now over, here are the details of how, where and when you can watch and follow the coverage.
Should i ditch my iPhone 5 jailbreak to try iOS 7 beta 1? That's a good question actually, and one I've been contemplating for a few days now.
We've been heavily reliant on the WWDC logo to offer some kind of indication as to the changes to be made with iOS 7, and with just a weekend now to go before Apple's WWDC 2013 kicks off in Moscone West, the Cupertino company has confirmed the logo of the forthcoming software. As we've come to assume from the reports and rumors of late, the next version of iOS will be very much a clean-up job, and this demonstrated rather emphatically by the new logo. Take a look after the break!
WWDC begins next week, and during the course of the past three or four months, we've covered literally dozens of concepts pertaining to the biggest talking point at Apple's WWDC 2013: iOS 7. Designers have been working overtime to deliver their ideas and predictions in image and video form, but concept maker Steve King has gone a step further in creating an interactive iOS 7 concept which can be tested right now on a mockup iPhone 5S on the Web.
Apple has just updated its iTunes app with a couple of rudimentary improvements and bug fixes. Notably, the bug that would previously cause iTunes to quit unexpectedly when syncing switched from wired and wireless has now been plugged, and a further issue which meant users would need to sign in repeatedly to the iTunes Store has also been sorted out. More details after the break.
In a legal battle which doesn’t seem to have any sort of end whatsoever, Apple and Samsung’s brawl for supremacy in the courtroom has taken a new turn as the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has ruled that Apple infringes on Samsung’s patents.
The notion of Apple bringing out a low-cost iPhone has always been suggested. With such a popular brand at a sky-high price, perhaps it was always going to be an idea teased by the masses. But this year, there's a really strong consensus that there will indeed be a cheaper model to help corner markets like India and China, as well as allowing those with less disposable cash to still rock an iPhone. Today, images purporting to depict the device have been discovered on Weibo, the 'Chinese Twitter,' and although the bumper case, lack of a snap of the front of the device and a lot of blurriness make for a rather suspect leak, we have to check out all possible avenues in our quest to discover this elusive budget iPhone.
It's generally accepted that iOS powered devices are amongst the most secure devices that are currently available in the consumer mobile market. This isn't to say that Apple has built an impenetrable device that isn't susceptible to any kind of attack, but it has been proven time and time again that hardware running Android and other available operating systems are an easier nut to crack for more malicious minded amongst us.
Whenever we hit the point where a new version of iOS is in testing, we generally hear about the potential for the OS X AirDrop functionality to make it onto our mobile devices. We all know this has never happened yet, but the latest rumor suggests that Apple are internally testing a build of iOS 7 that contains the AirDrop wireless file-transfer functionality. More details can be found right after the jump.
