If there's one thing that a big new release of iOS guarantees, it's more app updates in the space of a week than we usually see in a couple of months. If our iPhones are anything to go by tonight, then the chances are you're all seeing a lot of developers have had their updates approved today, ready for iOS 7 shipping on the 18th.
A smartphone’s camera is guaranteed to be upgraded every year. Apple spent a large amount of time discussing the improved camera module on the iPhone 5s as part of last week's dedicated event, clearly an indication that they are extremely proud of its capabilities. Almost immediately after that event, the Cupertino company announced that fashion giant Burberry would be using an iPhone 5s to capture all of the glitz and glamour of their London fashion show, a video which has now been made available by the fashion house.
Twitter has always been a great source for information regarding upcoming technology and related innovations, and a recent tweet from Nokia is just another testament to that fact. The tweet in question features a teaser at a Nokia event on October 22, with the hash tag “innovation reinvented”, alongside the image that shows off something really exotic; desert skiing.
We at Redmond Pie have been seeing iOS 7.0.1 and .1 in the logs for weeks now, with the volume of hits growing as the time has passed, as can be seen in the screenshots below.
Whether it's going to be called the Nexus 5 or some other Nexus-related designation, at this point there is little doubt that LG is indeed going to be behind Google's next Nexus device. With Apple releasing its iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c in a few short days, the latest Nexus leak comes at just the right time for Google, with the more cynical amongst us wondering whether it's one of those leaks that isn't entirely accidental.
Although Apple currently have their hands full for the next few days as they roll out the public release of iOS 7, it seems that they still have the manpower to make some important changes to how application distribution works with the App Store. The much anticipated iOS 7 will go live tomorrow with literally millions of devices all hitting Apple's servers to get the biggest change to the OS yet, but behind-the-scenes they have made some changes to the App Store that will allow users to download legacy version of the apps compatible with older firmware running on the device
All of the Apple-related focus may have been on the new iPhone models and imminent release of iOS 7 but it seems the OS X engineers are still beavering away in the background. With an expected October release time ticking away for the Mac software team to eradicate any reported bugs and glitches within OS X 10.9 and get it ready for the primetime, the company has taken an additional step to reaching that end-goal with the release of OS X Mavericks Developer Preview 8 which also includes an updated version of iTunes 11.1.
Prior to the official unveiling of a new gadget, particularly one bearing the famous bitten apple logo, case and accessory makers like to get ahead of the game by preparing and releasing cases early on in the day. However, until the official announcement has passed and the company behind said gadget has released the schematics, one can never be sure of the device's precise measurements. Today, Apple has released the schematics of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, so if you are a maker of cases or perhaps just intrigued by the intricacies of a device's construction, then you can check out all of the details after the leap.
Prior to every new iPhone release, there's always a mad rush as consumers fall over each other to try and get their hands on a new Apple gadget, but while the iPhone 5c certainly hasn't made as much of an impression on the market as the iPhone 5s, its launch day numbers are beginning to dwindle.
The console wars aren't fought, and certainly aren't won on paper, but the developers of the PlayStation 4 claim that the forthcoming games and entertainment machine is 50% more powerful than its adversary, Microsoft's Xbox One. This mightn't have any bearing on the decisions of the masses, particularly given that the Redmond's console arrives with the incredibly popular Kinect peripheral right out of the box, but given how the PS4 is also one hundred bucks cheaper than the Xbox One, purists may feel enticed by the package offered by Sony.
