It's proving difficult to prevent Apple enthusiasts from compiling their video tributes just now, and just a day after the Steve Jobs Facebook Timeline tribute, Adweek has pieced together a rather interesting timeline of its own, covering every single iPhone ad campaign since the initial device was released back in 2007.
The debate over whether iOS or Android is the best home for smartphone app developers is one that has been raging for some time, and one that shows no sign of abating.
Unless you've been hiding away for the last week or so, you will have caught the coverage of the upcoming iPad 3's Retina display - all-but confirmed thanks to a discovery of the new and improved part by MacRumors.
If there's one thing that's guaranteed about a new iPhone, it's that designers and developers the world over will have an idea of how it should look. Sometimes, they get it more right than others.
February seems to be the month of the iOS security bugs. And although we are fast approaching the end of the month, yet another flaw has been found which allows the passcode lock feature to be circumvented, giving unauthorized access to the device’s Camera Roll. Users have the option of setting a four digit passcode through the Settings menu which prevents the device from being unlocked without the necessary code being entered, but, it seems that this method of security in iOS is anything but flawless.
Whenever people discuss the the historical aspects of Apple, they often make reference to the fact that the company was founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, which is indeed true. However, it is often an overlooked fact that the two Steves took the decision to form the company they called Apple Computer Co. with a third man, Ron Wayne.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I personally have a deep rooted inquisitive nature which makes me want to know what is going on in the world around me. I have a need and a thirst for knowledge, and because I have a passion for technology, I love to see the manufacturing process behind things. One of my favorite television shows which is aired daily in the United Kingdom via satellite TV is 'How it's Made' and basically goes through the full process about how everyday products are produced which is like some kind of heaven to me.
The official App Store is a wonderful place, full of some truly amazing applications which have been developed to the highest standard, more than worthy of their place on our SpringBoards. However, with over half a million applications currently residing in the Store, law of averages dictate that a good portion of them will be poor purchases due to the fact that they don’t work as advertised or in some instances, just don’t work at all.
The latest reports online suggest that Apple may be set to bring the iPad 3 to certain parts of Europe on March 23rd, though no information was given as to other territories, including the United States.
Something tells me that the next few weeks leading up to the iPad 3 announcement event will be rife with images flying around the web which sources say are components from the eagerly anticipated iPad 3. It does always make me wonder who these sources actually are, but nevertheless from a historical perspective; they generally seem to have quite high speculation success rate. This morning, we saw some images coming from MICGadget, which showed a comparison of the outer rear shells of the iPad 2 and the soon to be released iPad 3, which in summary, showed a thicker form factor, as well as a larger aperture for the rear camera, possibly pointing to an improved 8-megapixel offering.
