As expected, Apple used the opening keynote of WWDC 2016 to officially announce that Apple Pay is expanding into three more regions. As part of a partnership with new banks, Apple's contactless mobile payment platform is now confirmed to be launching in Switzerland, France and Hong Kong, meaning that not only will Apple Pay be soon available in 9 countries in total, but this announcement makes Switzerland and France only the second and third European countries to fly the flag for Apple Pay alongside the United Kingdom.
WWDC 2016's opening keynote has come to a close and we now know just what Apple has been waiting to share with us for the last 12 months. Here's a roundup of everything announced at the event.
In the midst of all of the Apple WWDC madness and excitement you can be forgiven for getting caught up in all of the major announcements and missing some of the smaller changes that Tim Cook and team didn't touch on for one reason or another. As the keynote was happening, and as a slew of Apple's executive team were introducing and demoing key new features within iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS, the company engineers were secretly uploading a number of apps to the App Store against Apple's own developer account. Curiously, all of those apps are ones that generally come pre-installed as stock apps on iOS out of the box.
The download links for iOS 10 beta 1 are now live and available for supported iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. As expected, Apple has used the opening keynote of this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2016) to give us our first glimpse of iOS 10 firmware. Those registered on Apple's Developer Program can go ahead and download the latest version of iOS beta seed for their compatible devices right now. Apple's Public Beta Program users will get iOS 10 in July.
Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2016) is well and truly underway now at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California. Apple CEO Tim Cook has taken to stage now to kick off the event. He has started off first by talking about yesterday's tragic event in Orlando, followed by some of the stats and figures about both, WWDC attendees at the event, as well as the Apple as a company itself and its performance over the last few months.
One Chinese dev has demonstrated a new iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak called "Flying JB". The video demonstration shows the Flying JB app being executed to successfully jailbreak a 32-bit iPhone running iOS 9.2.1. The jailbreak itself is made possible and based entirely on an extremely powerful 15-year old kernel HeapOverFlow vulnerability - inpuTbag - that exists within the particular firmware version that's being liberated in the video.
Annoyed that iOS won't allow you to rotate Live Photos on iPhone without converting them to ordinary still photos? This app will solve that problem. Here's how it works.
With Apple set to kick WWDC 2016 off this coming Monday, many people expect that Siri will be getting new features galore, and it seems Siri itself can't help but spill the beans.
According to a new report, Intel will provide modems for the AT&T iPhone 7 as well as most international devices. Qualcomm, on the other hand, will make hardware that will find its way into Verizon iPhones, as well as those sold in China amongst other countries.
If a group is planning on using their time in an unscrupulous manner to walk into a retail Apple Store and steal iPhones, would they spend countless hours scoping the raid out and planning it to perfection in the hope that they could pull off the perfect crime? Or does that sound like a little too much hard work, and would they find it much easier to just slip into Apple Genius' uniform, walk into the store posing as an employee, and then walk out with the free iPhones?
