As well as providing Android switchers with a guide on using its latest fleet of iPhones, Apple has just added an iOS 8 User Guide to iBooks for iPhone and iPad users. Ideal for anybody looking to get the most out of the new software, it covers every aspect from the simple stuff like sending emails to the other little quirks like using customizable keyboards, and as Apple describes in the release notes, serves as "an essential part of any iBooks library."
Even though we're now on the cusp of OS X Yosemite 10.10, it's worth remembering that Mavericks is till the current version of Apple's Mac software, and with reports suggesting that Yosemite won't hit the Mac App Store until mid-to-late October, it's likely to stay that way for at least another month. Thus, Apple has just rolled out OS X Mavericks 10.9.5, and with plenty of bug fixes and general performance enhancements, is worth taking the time to download.
Apple has really presented developers with a license to shine with iOS 8. As well as third-party keyboard and Notification Center widget support, devs have also been given jurisdiction over Touch ID. This means that apps that would ordinarily use, say, the Passcode feature to verify or secure certain features can now include the fingerprint sensor, and below, we've a round-up of those who've instantly pushed their updated apps.
Unless you've been too busy to check the tech headlines today, you'll know that Apple has just rolled out iOS 8, and with developers having scrambled to make the necessary tweaks to their apps, the Cupertino company has been making some adjustments of its own. A number of Apple-made applications have just been updated for iOS 8, and we've got all of the info right here.
As well as rolling out the big iOS 8 update today, Apple has also unleashed a sizeable update to the Apple TV software. Given that the company's set-top runs on a variant of iOS, it makes a great deal of sense for these two releases to coincide, and after the purchase of Beats Electronics earlier on this year, an official Beats app for Apple TV is among the changes that have been pushed with this latest update. With Family Sharing and a plethora of other implementations, this is one update worth having, and below, we've got the full low-down.
Another year, another update to iOS. And while things may look pretty much the same on the face of it, iOS 8 is well worth everyone's time. While iOS 7 was a big departure from what we were used to in regards to aesthetics, iOS 8 goes another route, this time preferring to take a scalpel to the operating system's innards rather than its exterior.
The release of iOS 8 is a nice little prelude to the iPhone launch later on this week, and as developers once again rush to roll out their updates for the new Apple software, the changes made with this latest iOS release mean that it's not just regular apps hitting the iTunes Store. Back at WWDC, the Cupertino-based company also opened the door for third-party keyboard makers to port their wondrous inventions over from Android, and Fleksy, which just so happens to be one of our favorites, has been among the first to the draw. Already live on the App Store, you can download it immediately for your iOS 8-running device, and below, we've got the details.

The Apple iPhone 6 is less than two days from launch in many parts of the world, and arguably one of the most pleasurable things about receiving a brand-new device, besides using it, of course, is found in the unboxing process. From taking off the cellophane to peeling away the display's film, it's a joyous occasion, and some lucky folk have already had the opportunity to indulge. Thankfully, the team in question decided to video the unboxing of the iPhone 6 for all to see, and below, you can check it out.
iOS 8 will finally drop for users the world over today, and according to those who have used the beta bits of it, the OS brings a completely refreshed user experience owing to the backend changes that Apple has implemented. The new and improved operating system for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad not only brings a plethora of features to play with, but also more APIs for developers to utilize in their offerings. One of the most significant amongst these is opening up the Touch ID API to the likes of 1Password, DashLane and LastPass, so that users can sign into websites even in Safari (or any browser of their choice) using the Touch ID sensor. 1Password has already demonstrated that its feature set works just fine during the beta builds of iOS 8, and now, the app is available for free for a limited time due to a glitch in Apple's system. More details and download link can be found right after the jump.
