Although the company was quite clearly pushed for time, the iPhone 6 / Apple Watch parade on Tuesday seemed to pass without incident. As ever, it was a grand spectacle (unless you happened to be tuning in via Apple TV in certain areas), and after a lengthy period of preparation at the Flint Center in Cupertino, Apple managed to announce its key new products and features inside the usual two-hour limit. The Apple Watch was the real clincher - a product category that the Mac maker has never previously attempted - and if you enjoyed the original unveiling, you can now catch extended backstage coverage in a clip featuring interviews with CEO Tim Cook and design lead Jony Ive.
Social network Path is a beautiful, functional and cross-platform app that is used by many, but despite its credentials and promise, has been somewhat crowded out by Facebook, Twitter et al. It's hard not to check out from time to time because it's simply such a pleasure to use, but ultimately, it's quite dormant, with users generally only checking in when they remember to. An acquisition by a big-name company could soon rejuvenate Path and turn its fortunes around, and according to a report, Apple is planning on buying the app and integrating it with its own Messages infrastructure.
The world is waiting in anticipation as Apple gears itself up to introduce its first wearable device on Tuesday. The much speculated device, likely to be called iWatch, and which will apparently be based on a modified version of iOS, has been in development for quite some time, with Apple only now being in a position to introduce it to the world. Information pertaining to the device has been relatively sparse, with Apple managing to keep the lid tightly on things during the run up. However, now, according to a new report, the Apple wearable will be capable of running third-party applications, with a number of large developers already using and interacting with the bespoke SDK.
Tuesday's Apple event is fast approaching, and while the world speculates on the extent of what Tim Cook and team will introduce, one thing we know for sure is that we will definitely welcome the next-generation iPhone into our lives. Leaked information pertaining to the "iPhone 6" has been coming thick and fast over the last few months, with the challenge being having the ability to filter through all of the speculation to be pull out the genuine details. As we get ever closer to the reveal, a new video has emerged online that bills itself as the first real visual review of Apple's 4.7-inch smartphone.
The security of Apple's iCloud servers has had some considerable focus of late after a host of celebrities had their accounts raided and personal, intimate photos of them distributed online. After initially appearing to have been hacked, iCloud suffered quite the bloody nose over the incident.
In case you missed it, a number of high-profile celebrities had their very private images leaked onto the Web. But while it was rumored that Apple's iCloud infrastructure was to blame for the large-scale breach, the Cupertino giant has stepped out and denied that its services were to blame in an official statement on the matter.
Apple’s new iPhone 6 announcement is barely a week away now, and the excitement around the upcoming media event is at an all time high. The Cupertino tech giant is not only expected to unveil the new 4.7-inch iPhone 6 flagship smartphone, but also unveil the wearable lineup that might (or might not) end up being called the iWatch. Along with these, we are expecting to see the public availability of the iOS 8, the OS X Yosemite, and hopefully a few other goodies as well.
The fact that all iOS apps need to be approved by Apple in order to make their way into the App Store is both a blessing and a curse for the platform, but nobody can deny that it, most of the time at least, guarantees at least some sort of minimum design quality. It also means that developers often need to jump through hoops in order to get their hard work in front of those that they hope will download it.
Apple has just sent out the press invitations for the special iPhone 6 event, and as has been suspected for a number of weeks now, it will fall on September 9th. Of course, we don't yet know precisely what the tech giant has up its sleeve, but with the showcasing having now been confirmed, we won't have to wait too much longer for the big reveal.
Prompted into action by Google's release of the Chromecast dongle last year, Apple has been on something of a mission to bring more content to its famed set-top. Sure, we haven't seen any new hardware for a good couple of years now as far as Apple TV is concerned, but for those in ownership of the current-gen models, there are now dozens of channels and services to choose from. For sports fans, the introduction of NFL Now is likely to go down well, and if you don't happen to own the Cupertino company's little black box, you'll be pleased to learn that Amazon Fire TV and Yahoo Screen should also reap the benefits of NFL Now over the next few weeks.
