Apple has today made available for download tvOS 9.2 beta 6 for Apple TV 4 to developers, just over a week after the fifth iteration was made available for testing, and couple of days after beta 6 of watchOS 2.2, OS X 10.11.4, iOS 9.3 was released.
Apple has just officially announced its spring 2016 media event titled "Let us loop you in." The event will be held on March 21st in Cupertino where Apple is expected to announce 4-inch iPhone SE, 9.7-inch iPad Pro, Apple Watch accessories, and more. Here are the details.
As a company, Apple is no stranger to being talked about by individuals and news outlets on an almost daily basis. With that said, certain areas of focus have meant that Tim Cook's company has been consistently making the front-page news for a number of reasons - some positive, some negative - over the last few weeks. A newly leaked image has just arrived on the scene that thrusts Apple into the headlines once again, this time focusing on the potential hardware configuration of the September-bound iPhone 7 thanks to an early prototype case with an interesting physical design.
With Microsoft trying to get the world interested in its tablet-like Surface Book computer, a new TV ad has been released that not only touts Microsoft's own hardware but manages to have a dig at Apple as well.
Apple Co-founder Steve "Woz" Wozniak has become the latest high-profile technology entrepreneur to chime in with an opinion on the Apple-FBI encryption situation. Wozniak took the opportunity as part of an appearance on a TV talk show to give an insight into his own personal opinion on the situation. As you might expect, Woz shares the opinions and values of Apple and its current CEO, Tim Cook, and wasn't shy in expressing those opinions as part of his appearance on the talk show.
It's being reported that Tim Cook, along with a number of technology company CEOs and established Republican representatives, have met at the American Enterprise Institute's World Forum to discuss one thing; how to stop Donald Trump from gaining the Presidential nomination from his party. It is being reported that Apple CEO Tim Cook is part of a fairly high profile coalition that has been looking at ways to try and prevent Donald Trump from getting the nod to run for President of the United States.
After releasing iOS 9.3 beta 6, Apple has also dropped beta 6 seeds of OS X 10.11.4 and watchOS 2.2 for both developers and public beta testers.
John Miller, the New York Police Department's Counter-Terrorism Chief, has added to the Apple encryption drama by claiming that the Cupertino-based company is providing aid to various criminal elements by producing an iPhone that cannot be accessed by LEAs. Speaking at a radio show, Miller took the opportunity to offer his own personal thoughts on the encryption scandal that has rocked the technology industry over the last month or so.
Apple clearly believes that there's a big enough market for the secondary sales of iPhones in India to take advantage of. Tim Cook's company appears to be an unstoppable steam train when it comes to distributing iPhones to retailers and consumers across the globe, so it seems logical that it can apply the same level of efficiency to used hardware. It is being reported that Apple has applied for permission from the Indian government to be able to import pre-owned iPhones into the Indian market with the aim of selling them to consumers interested in saving a little bit of money.
Apple's decision to contest a legal order that tries to force it to provide a backdoor into the iPhone for the FBI has dramatically divided public and professional opinion over the last few weeks. A federal order has requested Apple to work in conjunction with the FBI in order to build what Tim Cook has referred to as "the software equivalent of cancer" in San Bernardino shooting case. Apple has made a formal appeal against that order, which will be heard on March 22nd. While most tech companies, both in and out of Silicon Valley, are in full support of Apple on the issue, and have now also filed amicus brief in support of Apple, one rival company Samsung has decided to take a neutral stance, of sorts, on it.
