If you're the kind of person that worries about whether they're being tracked by a faceless corporation, then you're probably spending most of your nights holding your iPhone and rocking back and forth in a corner at this point. It's probably safe to say that with all the sensors built into the iPhone and iPad, both devices are capable of tracking us down.
When Apple first touted iOS 8, one of its biggest features was Health, an app that was expected to act as the cornerstone to all out health and wellbeing apps. Touted to be a hub for all the disparate information collected by third-party health trackers and the like, Health was, and still is, quite exciting for those who like to keep track of their health and fitness.
With all the excitement about Apple's first 5.5-inch iPhone clouding everyone's minds, it's easy to forget that Samsung is already the king of the giant smartphone thanks to its Galaxy Note line of handsets.
Apple's iOS 8.0.1, for those that missed it, was a marked disaster, and a major blemish in what has otherwise been a fairly smooth launch of the company's new mobile software. Having rolled out a couple of days ago, it featured major flaws that saw iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners left with No Service and a non-functioning Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and in all honesty, Apple hadn't made such a blunder since the iOS 6 Maps debacle. Back in 2012 when Maps first appeared, the scapegoating seem to begin, and end, with then-iOS SVP Scott Forstall, who was swiftly ejected from the executive team and Apple in general, but incidentally, it has now been revealed that a member of the quality control team amid the Apple Maps scandal may also have been partially responsible for the blundered iOS 8.0.1 launch.
The iTunes App Store is awash with camera apps, with perhaps tens of thousands now comprising the sizeable inventory. Some of them are great, but the vast majority are fairly average, with a number of developers apparently happy to clone features and hope for the best. But a new app for point-and-shooters has just rolled out for iPhone that seeks to offer a no-frills, raw camera experience that takes away the automated, mechanical nature of similar applications, and if you're looking for a highly configurable app, this one may just pique your interest.
This is just in. Apple has released iOS 8.0.2 download links for all the supported devices, including the very latest iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Apple’s new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are barely out, and akin to the famous Antennagate that plagued the iPhone 4 when it was revealed, these two have sprouted a new debate over the “Bendgate” fiasco as it is being called. In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last few days, Bendgate essentially refers to the iPhone 6 Plus getting bent under pressure, or, in some cases, just by being kept in the pocket for extended periods of time.
With two new smartphones and a whole new piece of software in iOS 8, even long-time users of Apple gadgets have encountered something of a learning curve, and we've done our best here to present you with some of the best tips and tricks to help you familiarize yourselves with the various new features. Given that iOS 8 is arguably one of the most significant leaps since the very first iPhone appeared back in 2007, though, there always seems to be something to learn, and if you wish to fast-track your acclimatization with the update, then a new video covering 50 awesome features will definitely stand you in good stead.
Unless you've been stuck under a rock for the past couple of days, you'll surely have caught the Bendgate coverage, in which it was claimed that Apple's new iPhones, particularly the iPhone 6 Plus, was susceptible to losing its shape. Given that it's largely comprised of aluminum, a soft, malleable metal, it was never going to be as robust as a handset laden in stainless steel, but while it did seem like the whole fiasco was merely a small number of incidents that had been blown way out of proportion, Apple has stepped out and confirmed that to date, only nine complaints have been registered.
Apple's initial iPhone 6 retail push got off to a flying start last week, with sales in excess of 10 million in the opening weekend breaking the record for a new smartphone. Having only launched in a handful of markets, though, the device is still yet to reach a number of key countries, and this week on Friday, 26th September, a further 20 nations will be added.
