iOS 8 is certain to grace our iPhones, iPads and iPod touches this fall, and the new operating system is just around the corner from the looks of it. Thanks to Apple’s extensive beta testing period, all the bugs in the upcoming software are being ironed out (hypothetically, at least), while some others merit the incremental releases that we see in the form of decimal point updates.
Apple's iPhone 6 has been the hottest topic in tech circles by some margin this year, and although we've long since suspected that it'll arrive in September following an announcement earlier that month, a new report backed by reliable sources seems to further corroborate this notion.
Traditionally speaking, Apple has generally favored releasing new versions of iOS and OS X on a staggered basis rather than bombarding users with upgrades at the same time. The inclusion of the impressive Continuity features that were unveiled at this year's Worldwide Developer Conference had led some corners to believe that iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite would be made available to the public at the same time this fall, but according to those familiar with Apple's plans, that doesn't seem to be the case.
They say that time stands still for no-one, and at this time of year we're pretty sure that most Apple engineers would agree wholeheartedly. As we slip ever nearer the expected September release date for the iPhone 6, the leaks are beginning to gather a pace that those in Cupertino simply can't hope to outrun.
Apple has posted its Q3 2014 earnings results, and as ever, the Cupertino giant has raked in revenues in billions, and has also revealed how many iPhone, iPads, iPods and Macs it has sold in the last quarter. Full details and breakdown of the earnings results can be found right here.
Apple hasn't even managed to get the iPhone 6 out the door yet, but Samsung has already begun poking fun at not just the phone, but those lining up to buy one, too.
The voice-to-text dictation in iOS has always been one of those features that people either use extensively, or have never even noticed. Those that do make heavy use of dictation have long had one main complaint though, and that's been about the way their voice is converted to text.
Apple prides itself on the security of its iOS mobile operating system, and aside from the occasional hiccup that besets all software at one point or another, this tends to be the case. However, one jailbreak expert has done some serious digging into the guts of iOS and discovered that while the software is pretty safe from the continued threat of hacks and attacks from malware makers, there are certain loopholes within the iOS make-up that make it potentially easy for Apple and government agencies to covertly get hold of your personal data.
Saving links to be read later may seem like a simple, forgettable feature but as apps like Instapaper and Pinboard have already proven that there's plenty of use for such a feature. Now, two years after buying Instapaper competitor Spool, Facebook has launched its very own read-it-later service.
