With the release of the first beta of iOS 9, Apple has given developers and those who just can't wait for a public beta a first look at what will be shipping around September time. While headline features such as a new Siri and iPad-based split-screen multitasking are getting all the plaudits, there are plenty of changes under the hood that won't even be noticed by the majority of people. But that does't mean that they aren't important.
When Apple announced iOS 9 during the WWDC 2015 opening keynote, there wasn't much surprise, and that goes for when it released the first beta to developers at the same time as well. As with all developer previews of a new version of iOS, there is a lot of attention on something that by its very definition isn't ready for primetime yet and, as a result, really needs some time to finish baking.

So, if it's going to be a device that will be here for the long-haul, we may as well see what it's capable of, right? That's exactly what a bunch of well-known iOS developers and tinkerers have done, by being the first to publicly announce that they've "hacked" watchOS.

Beleaguered BlackBerry has always had an insanely loyal set of fans spread out across the globe. The once booming smartphone maker has managed to attract and keep a bunch of users who still swear by the enterprise features contained within the BlackBerry platform, but that hasn't stopped the company from falling into an uncontrollable financial free-fall over the last few years. Now, in a move that is likely to have those loyal fans scratching their heads in disbelief, it's being reported that BlackBerry will start to build Android powered handsets. Yup, that's right, Android powered smartphones. From BlackBerry.
Apple’s Mail app in iOS has never been particularly great at handling files, whether they be already attached to an email that was just received or are in need of being attached to an outgoing one. That’s an issue that has been around for as long as there has been a Mail app on iOS which, as we all know, is forever.
There's nothing quite like sitting back and relaxing with an endless, action-packed RPG style game after multiple hours spent on the daily grind.
