With iOS 6 having just been announced, the beta version of the upcoming firmware has now been seeded. And, as usual, this first released build of iOS 6 beta is only available to registered members of Apple's developer program, so if you're a non-developer hoping to catch a glimpse of the future, sadly, you're going to have to wait.
Apple has delivered in the hardware stakes at today's WWDC, and after running through many new little quirks of iOS 6, iOS chief Scott Forstall has shown off a brand-new feature/app called Passbook, which looks to be the fruit of the rumored Organize app.
As anticipated, Apple has announced its very own, completely rethought Maps app to replace the long-serving Google offering, and as equally foreseen, it's got the hallmarks of a truly great new feature. The days of relying on a city's A-Z are long gone in this digital age, and although it has taken a few more years than Apple would perhaps have liked in order to develop, iOS Maps is now well and truly in the pipeline.
With the rumor mill having been in overdrive over the past couple of months, Apple has finally released those all-important details of its upcoming iOS 6, and as it turns out, most of the suspected features of the fruit company's forthcoming mobile operating system are included, along with a few surprises.
Although talk of iOS 6 has been rampant in the run up to WWDC, the speculation regarding a refresh of the Mac range has been equally rife. There has been a lot of on-off reports regarding a Retina display MacBook Air, Pro and iMac, and Apple has today confirmed, and debunked most of the rumors and reports once and for all.
Whenever we think about tablet-type PCs, the iPad is invariably the product that gets mentioned as it seems to be regarded as the best tablet product available, and rightly so in my opinion. A number of products have been pushed to the market running the Android operating system that have attempted to compete in the slate industry, but nothing has really seemed to match up to Apple’s offering.
What fun would a powerful and popular smartphone be without having the ability to share information with the world through one of the popular social media networks? With Apple’s last major release of iOS, we saw the inclusion of native sharing of info to the Twitter network and it looks likely that more services will be added in future releases of iOS, but until that time comes, some additional installations through Cydia should suffice.
Having the ability to change the Springboard wallpaper on Apple's iOS devices was an addition that was certainly welcomed by users when the Cupertino company introduced iOS 4 in 2010. In the following two years not a great deal has changed when it comes to giving users options or abilities relating to being able to customize or personalize their displays.
One of the most popular aspects of any current day website or news-type blog is the inclusion of social sharing options and buttons that allow readers and visitors to share the website content through social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Although most websites and an increasing number of mobile apps make use of some form of social sharing, it is relatively new on the grand scale of things and will only increase with time.
One of the biggest reasons why people jailbreak their iPhone is to get it unlocked for use on unauthorized wireless networks. Although there are other unlocking solutions available, Ultrasn0w is the de-facto standard when it comes down to it because of one very simple reason: it’s stupid-easy to unlock an iPhone with it (unlike Gevey SIM), At least for an iPhone with a supported baseband.
