Seldom does a new release of any software pass without a few teething issues, and iOS 7 has been no different. With a few lock screen security problems having been fixed with the minor iOS 7.0.2 update last week, some users have been reporting of their iTunes Store app crashing since updating from iOS 6. Luckily, there are some fairly painless fixes available, and you can check the details after the break!
Emoji emoticons can, so long as they're not used to excess, be an enhancing feature of a text-based conversation, and although Android's open-source nature means it's rather easy to add third-party emoji packs at the drop of a hat, things aren't so straightforward on iOS. Luckily, as with previous iterations, there's a hidden emoji feature within iOS 7, and while most obscured treasures tend to require a jailbreak before they can be used by the masses, this one takes seconds to uncover on a stock device.
iOS 7 brings a fresh new look along with a ton of new features to Apple’s famous range of mobile devices. In this post, we’ll guide you through a bunch of options in iOS 7 that you can turn off if you don’t need them in order to save battery on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
With the iPhone launch now, to all intents and purposes, out of the way, attention has quickly begun to turn to the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2, both of which are expected to be in line for some significant changes at some point next month. While it is widely assumed that the full-size Apple slate will take on a more iPad mini-esque form factor, the smaller of the two slabs is also in line for a few respectable upgrades of its own, and a new leaking of the iPad mini 2's shell via a Chinese site appears to indicate that we'll be seeing both the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and the popular gold color configuration.
Facebook may have been around for what feels like forever, but the social network is still missing one or two features that some of us have been crying out for. One of those features is something that seems rather simple on the face of it, and today Facebook announced that we will soon be able to edit our own posts on the social network.
Apple's iPhone may have dominated the headlines over the past couple of weeks, but we're still expecting one or two more big announcements from Tim Cook's men. The iPad 5 has been a constant topic of conversation ever since, well.. the iPad 4's arrival toward the tail-end of last year, and with the iPad mini providing a stellar example of design and build quality, it is widely suspected that the fifth edition of the full-size model will borrow much of its aesthetic qualities from its compact cousin. New smart covers leaked to various channels seem to further corroborate this notion, and with any luck, an iPad mini-fied iPad 5 will be upon us at some point next month.
Upon first setting your eyes on Apple's new iOS 7, there are some pretty obvious changes. In fact, it's fair to say, compared with previous releases, that the latest, greatest version is the the break from the mold, but while the flattening and general brightening is apparent at first glance, some of the tweaks are only revealed once you begin using the new firmware. The whole experience has become a great deal more animated than ever before, but while these do add a nice touch of finesse to proceedings, not everybody has been thrilled with them.
It's widely expected that the next-generation iPad will be unveiled at an event in the month of October, but information is still relatively sparse on what they could have in store for consumers from a specification point-of-view. We have seen multiple supposed leaks this year that suggest we could get a new form-factor with the iPad 5, but today's is the most telling yet, suggesting that the world's most popular tablet could be following the various color routes of the new iPhone.
iOS 7 launched last week has been immediately adopted on a mass scale with more than 200 million devices estimated to be already running the said firmware.
We're now what we like to call 'post-iOS 7,' and as the dust settles on what can only be described as the biggest change to Apple's iOS since multitasking was added, the response has been mixed.
