Regardless of whether you love it or hate it, Apple has pumped a lot of time, money and resources into the development and release of the Siri virtual assistant. And with rumors that the Siri API will be opened up to developers with the release of iOS 6, Siri is definitely here to stay. In my opinion, there is no reason why someone wouldn't want to have Siri installed on their device, after all, for those who choose to use it, the assistant can be extremely helpful in a lot of situations. And for those who don't wish to bother with it, it doesn't intrude in any way whatsoever.
Although some people might not like to admit it, out of all our friends and family members, we all have our favorite ones which we hold in higher regard than others. Obviously we don't go around shouting it from the top of hilltops, but the game is given away when we check the 'Favorites' section of the iPhone's Phone app. Some of us try and spare the feelings of others by saying it just contains the people we contact the most, but deep down we all know its because they are our favorite people.
Apple has taken the decision to rename one of its iPad models in the face of criticism from a collection of countries, over the way the 'WiFi + 4G' iPad was named.
New photos of Ashton Kutcher have shown the actor walking the streets dressed entirely as the man he will be playing in an upcoming movie. That man is Steve Jobs, the former Apple CEO and co-founder who died last year.
3D is all the rage, leaving some with the burning desire to try and create their own 3D content. While they could pop out and pick up an expensive 3D video recorder, owners of a couple of iOS devices can start taking 3D photos right now. Or at least, that's the idea.
With the iPhone Dev Team updating their popular Redsn0w jailbreak tool to include a method of downgrading A5-powered devices, it provides a perfect opportunity for those who may be sitting on the latest firmware with an iPad 2 or iPhone 4S to roll back to 5.0.1 once again in order to benefit from an untethered jailbreak. With pod2g closing in on his untether for Apple's latest firmware and testing against the latest devices going all well, the need to roll back and jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 could be temporary, but the fact remains that a lot of users will benefit from this.
The build-up to WWDC always sees a plethora of rumors and conjecture, and the 2012 event is no different. As it is often the case, a new version of iOS is very much the hotly anticipated product this year, what may or may not find its way into the first beta being disputed across the internet.
Originality is a rare commodity in this day and age, so when something quirky, intriguing and original is created, it only seems right that we stand up and take notice. Like many folk seeking employment in our society, designer Frederic Tourrou decided to make himself some business cards in order to get his name out there and hopefully, find work. Being the tech-minded soul that he is, however, he decided to base the theme of the cards wholly on iOS - incorporating the lock screen and contact page of Apple's popular mobile OS.
Music playback is the foundation of the iPhone as we know it, but unfortunately, the native Music app is a teeny bit too safe, meaning while it functions to nigh-on perfection, it doesn't have the cutting-edge looks and visual features of the increasing number of alternatives out there. In short, it does enough to stop us complaining, but doesn't quite offer enough to prevent us from window shopping.
New discoveries suggest that iOS 6 could be shown off at WWDC, with a beta iCloud web portal potentially giving away the secrets of the developer get-together that kicks off next month.
