As expected, Apple has just taken the wraps off the iPad mini 3, and whilst the smaller of Apple's tablets hasn't been given all that much attention during the build-up to today's events, we can now sit back and assess some of the many new features that have been bundled into this refresh. There is, as also suspected, a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and with a number of other quirks to be enjoyed, we've got the full run-down after the leap.
The second-generation iPad Air, which is now the sixth 9.7-inch slate that Apple has brought to the fore, has finally been unveiled, and as well as Touch ID, the faster processor and all of the other bells and whistles that we've long presumed would be present, there are a few surprises thrown in for good measure. Full details can be seen below.
Reddit's popularity as a massively successful social network and information sharing platform is beyond question, and the service has only grown since the day it started. Even though Reddit isn't a social network as Facebook and Twitter are, users addicted to /r are in millions, and they continue to grow by the day. The one area where Reddit seems to have struggled was its presence across mobile platforms, especially through the lack of quality mobile apps for iOS, Android, Windows Phone etc. Recently, we saw the executive team behind Reddit focusing on that area, with improved official apps, more focus on mobile customers etc. Today's move is just that; one more step towards increasing Reddit's mobile user base, and the company has aimed to achieve that by acquiring the popular iOS app Alien Blue.
Here we are again, with just a few hours into the run-up to the October 16th Apple event. Apple has chosen to go with a slightly low key venue this time around, holding the event at the Apple Campus in Cupertino, California. Earlier the fruit company's glitzy iPhone 6/6 Plus event in September, was held at the Flint Center that could seat 2,405 people, and was concluded with a performance by U2.
It's the period of time when educated speculation, wild conjecture and insane fantasy starts to get thrown around pertaining to what we could actually see being introduced during Apple’s event tomorrow. The invitation headline of "It's been way too long" doesn't really give much away, but needless to say that hasn't stopped even the deepest, darkest corners of the Internet from chipping in with its two cents worth. As we try to separate the "potentials" from the "no ways" we once again take guidance from KGI Securities’ analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a proven track record of predicting what lies ahead and believes that tomorrow's event could be heavily iMac centric.
According to a newly surfaced report, Apple will be making its new product line up available to the consumers on Friday, October 24. As the Apple event in Cupertino draws near, the company has already begun shipping mass quantities of new products into the U.S.
On the other side of the world, where we often meet ourselves, is an array of mobile app icons that can be brutally honest to you if you give it a chance. Icons help you quickly identify one app from the other, but what tells you what that app is really meant for, or what their existence means to you and your mobile device. As I eerily tread borderline 'cuckoo', I'll ask you if you believe in any stereotype characterizations for some of the famous smartphone apps out there.
With just a few days left to the unveiling of the new iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 at Apple's event, well-known designer Martin Hajek has released rendered images of the new tablets from the Cupertino giant. Hajek's images are an attempt to showcase what the iPad Air 2 and mini 3 could look like if Apple decides to take design cues from the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Unlike the previous generations, the new iPhones have taken an altogether different design route with curved edges, plastic bands dividing the rear aluminum backplate into three regions, and an overall slimmer shell. It would be the first time that Apple launched a phone with a protruding camera as well. Hajek takes these design elements and shows us what unsurprisingly looks like a stretched iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.
It wouldn't be too harsh to say that iOS 8 hasn't been Apple's finest hour. Whether it be the botched launch of Health or the fact that Apple managed to push an update out that stopped a large number of iPhones from talking to the cellular network, someone inside the firm that could once do no wrong is probably sweating a little more than usual.
Here's how you can fix the most common iOS 8 related problems and issues running on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
