When the iPhone originally launched, it didn’t come with Apple Music. It didn’t even come with a “Music” app. That was years later. Early adopters who can remember that far back will tell you that it came with an iPod app. Which makes sense. When Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone in 2007, the anticipation building up to the event was that Apple put a phone … Continue reading Apple Music: What’s in a Name? A Whole Damn Lot
To the surprise of no one who takes an active interest in Apple’s products, Bloomberg is reporting that the next iteration of Apple’s iPhone (presumably to be designated the iPhone 6S/iPhone 6S Plus) will feature Force Touch. Force Touch isn’t the name of TLC’s next reality freakshow — rather, Force Touch is Apple’s new user interface that adds new input options the harder a user … Continue reading Rumors: Force Touch on Next Apple iPhone (You Don’t Say?)
If you’re big into Apple products, you’ve seen this on pretty much everything you own: “Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China.” But if Foxconn, one of Apple’s major manufacturing contractors, has its way, your next iPhone, iPad or MacBook could read, “Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in India.” Foxconn used to manufacture Nokia phones in India until the company’s mobile division was … Continue reading Apple Manufacturer Foxconn Looks to Open Shop in India
Apple’s unveiled the possibility that ad blockers would be coming to mobile Safari, iOS’ browser, keeping with their WWDC keynote theme of advocating for consumer privacy. While ad-blockers are now fixtures on the browsers of power users, they’re not as widely used on mobile device — and until this year’s WWDC, they were unheard of on iPhones and iPad that weren’t jail broken. The new … Continue reading New iOS Developer Guidelines Point to Ad Blockers on Apple’s iPhones and iPads
If you’re a serial iPhone upgrader — and by that I mean you’re the type of person who lines up on the device’s launch day or you pre-order the moment the online Apple Store will take your credit card — things are about to change if you’re with the nation’s two largest carriers. Apple Store employees reportedly got the word from Cupertino that iPhones will … Continue reading Apple Stores Killing AT&T and Verizon iPhone Subsidies
The Periscope’s been praised for simplifying lifestreaming and for the two months it’s been out on on the iPhone, the internet’s discovered people really want to know what’s in a stranger’s refrigerator (sriracha and a distinct inability to cook, in my case) and a new and exciting way to get free cable (or at least, free pay-per-view). Android users can finally get in on the Perscoping … Continue reading Periscope makes its debut on Android
As Dr. Evil’s shown us, $1 million dollars is a lowball ransom offer for the world but Wall Street says $1 trillion sounds just about right for Apple in the very near future. At least, that’s what Cantor Fitzgerald financial analysts predicted earlier this week. The company’s shares are trading at about $128 putting its value at $733 billion, but it could soon trade north of $180 … Continue reading Apple Could Soon be Worth More than Saudi Arabia
A report from a French website (01net.com) is speculating that Android Wear devices may be coming to iOS devices. The site also states the announcement regarding the compatibility of the smartwatches, manufactured by LG, Samsung and Motorola, and Apple’s iPhone/iPads might be made during Google’s I/O conference for developers in May. While the supposed electronic rapport between Google devices and Apple mobiles is unsubstantiated, the … Continue reading Rumor: Google’s Android Wear May be Coming to Apple’s iPhone
