The first official trailer of Aaron Sorkin's upcoming Steve Jobs biopic is out. The movie stars Michael Fassbender, Seth Rogen, Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels, Katherine Waterston and Michael Stuhlbarg in lead roles.
Today is a bad and sad day if you happen to own one of a select few iPhones or Macs, with some classic hardware now being downgraded to either obsolete or vintage status.
Can you imagine what life would be like if smartphone based artificial intelligence actually evolved to the point where it could replace the maternal responsibilities of your mother? We already rely on our handheld devices for pretty much every aspect of our daily lives, from storing details about our friends and family to sending and receiving communications via email or social networks, and even getting us to a selected destination via turn-by-turn directions. But what if - and bare with us on this one - Apple's Siri digital assistant was actually your real life mother? Can you imagine how utterly ridiculous and confusing our life would be if that was so?
There are two things that are always big in geek culture and that's Star Wars and Apple, and with the former having a new movie on the way and the latter having just announced yet more huge sales numbers that both have found themselves at the center of headlines of late. So it's only normal to want to mash them both together in some way, and that's exactly what condept designer Martin Hajek has done.
When the Apple Watch was announced it was clear that it would suit particular use cases more than others, and it was hoped that developers would take that on board when creating applications for the new wearable. So far that hope has not always resulted in great apps landing on the App Store, but there are undoubtedly better than others. The best apps out there embrace what the Apple Watch is instead of trying to shoehorn an iPhone app onto your wrist.
It only took a couple of hours for delivery dates to begin pushing back on Apple Watch pre-order day, and while the company's supply chain will eventually meet with demand, the time is certainly not now. Orders of the more sizable 42mm versions of the Apple Watch Sport and stainless steel Apple Watch are now being hit with estimated delivery dates of July, and given that we've only just ticked over for May, that's quite a length of time to wait on arrival.
Developers of great iOS apps sometimes cut their prices in special promotions, but the iTunes Free App of the Week never disappoints in delivering top-notch content without the usual price tag. This week's entry usually costs $1.99, but right now, is completely free of charge. Details, as well as that all-important download link, can be found after the break.
One of the cooler features of Apple Watch is its heart-rate sensor, which is integral to the health and fitness-related attributes of the Cupertino company's new wearable. Earlier this week, it emerged that arm tattoos were causing erratic / inaccurate readings, since the feature uses light reflected on the skin to generate its data, and Apple has since updated its support documents to confirm the issue.
So yeah, Apple sold some stuff. Or lots of stuff, to be more accurate. Having already had a smashing first quarter, the Cupertino giant has now announced its Q2 2015 financial results for the quarter ending this past March and they're impressive to say the least. But we already expected that, didn't we?
Apple has just rolled out a newly-designed 5W USB wall charger for customers in the United Kingdom that features folding pins, which is not only a space-saver when the plug isn't in use, but also renders it less of a hazard. We first caught wind of the new UK charger earlier on in the month, and you'll find details, including price and availability, right after the fold.
