Today, Apple will be making some pretty significant announcements at their special media event, with the iPad 5 and Retina iPad mini both expected to be showcased alongside a number of other products and services. It mightn't always be the case that Apple events are streamed online for all to see, but thankfully, those looking to follow the action in its entirety can do so via live stream.
Mobile gaming is on the rise, there’s no denying that, and with the increase in new titles popping up every other hour, it’s safe to say that this industry is not going anywhere any time soon. Things become even more interesting when you add a popular title that’s highly anticipated to the mix, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing with EA’s confirmation that they’re planning to bring their highly-cherished franchise, Battlefield 4, to the world of mobile gaming.
Apple's iOS 7 has brought forth many changes, but the most immediately obvious alteration is the revamped user interface, which takes on a much flatter approach compared with the previous skeuomorphism. Apple's enigmatic design king Jony Ive is credited with coming up with the new look, but whilst many have lauded the intricacy of the new icons and various elements, Vaclav Krejci shows just how very easy it could have been for Ive to create the look using only tools found in Microsoft Word.
After quite some delay and uncertainty surrounding the launch of BBM, or BlackBerry Messenger for both iOS and Android, BlackBerry has just released a press statement revealing that both versions will manifest at their respective stores in the coming hours. Such is the way things have been for BlackBerry over the past couple of years, this is arguably the most exciting thing the company has announced since BB10, and with six million consumers having signed up to the progress update feed of BBM's wider launch, it looks as though the wait is now finally, almost over.
Apple and technology fans alike are highly anticipating the introduction of the new iPad lineup at tomorrow's Apple media event. The tagline of the official event invitation suggests that Tim Cook and his team has a lot to talk about, with the update to the official Apple website giving more than a little indication what the company's iLife and iWork range of iOS apps will feature on the agenda at some point.
Apple has just started airing a gold iPhone 5s TV ad in the U.S. for the first time. iPhone 5s, which was launched exactly one month ago, has been a popular choice among consumers, with almost all Apple Stores still running out of stock since launch, especially for the gold option.
Over years, the iPhone has evolved into something that is more than just a smartphone; it’s a necessity and a brand symbol that defines you. However, as with all technology (even the good one), there can always be faults and loopholes, even if minor ones, and like all technology, they can usually be fixed through simple workarounds. Here’s one just like that.
Apple's recent migration to iOS 7 has pretty much guaranteed that any developer who sees a future in their mobile software will be pushing out an update that brings a minimum of visual changes. We've already seen a number of Google's App Store offerings going through the update process, but today is the turn of the extremely popular Hangouts app that has been revised to version 1.3.0.
The launch of iOS 7 was probably one of the best things that could have happened for developers. The dramatic overhaul of the main user-interface, combined with the implementation of varying animations and parallax effects meant that the slate has almost been wiped clean from an application perspective. Previously popular apps run the risk of falling by the wayside if they aren't quickly updated, but it also opens the door for the wheel to be reinvented. The recently released Tick app is one app that stands a great chance of dominating the To-Do list space on iOS 7 thanks to its impeccable detail.
It seems that Facebook is giving iOS plenty of focus of late, and after seemingly falling out with the platform following an unusually slow update cycle, the social network is now updating its iPhone and iPad apps at a much more useful cadence.
