| The best apps for getting things done Posted: 11 Sep 2013 05:21 PM PDT
I am a big time list maker. If I didn't have a list, every single day for things I need to do, I'd be sitting on the couch eating bon ons all day. I need to have practically every hour of my day planned out ahead of time, complete with a time frame and deadline. Apple has a list of apps that will help people like me get things done in an organized and timely manner. We've narrowed down their list to our favorite apps…(...)

In addition to unveiling the new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c yesterday, Apple also seeded the Golden Master of iOS 7. It should be the final beta we see of the big software update, before it gets released to the public on September 18. As we’ve already pointed out, iOS 7 GM doesn’t include much in the way of changes. It does, however, feature several new wallpapers, which we went hands-on with yesterday. And since everyone seemed to like them so much, we’ve posted them all here for you to download…(...) "Download all of the new iOS 7 wallpapers now" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Apple details Touch ID: no on-device fingerprints, 48-hour wipe, doesn’t like moisture Posted: 11 Sep 2013 03:00 PM PDT
Apple left a few important questions unanswered regarding its all-new fingerprint sensor implemented on the iPhone 5s, called Touch ID. The useful feature stems from Apple’s 2012 purchase of Israeli-based biometric security experts AuthenTec. In a nutshell, Apple strives to easily and securely authenticate users into their device and approve purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store or iBookstore – simply by scanning their finger on the Home button. What happens next is anyone’s guess. Neither Apple’s website nor available promotional material reveals much in way of detail. Perhaps sensing a privacy scare in the making, Apple dispatched its spokesperson to dispel any notion that the new iPhone might expose users to security risks…(...)

| iPhone 5s impresses in early graphics benchmarks Posted: 11 Sep 2013 02:34 PM PDT
One of the big new features in the iPhone 5s is its A7 processor with ’64-bit desktop-class architecture.’ What these buzzwords essentially mean is that the thing is fast—Apple says the CPU is 40x faster and graphics are 56x faster than the original iPhone. But that doesn’t really tell us much in the way of performance, does it? Luckily, an early graphics benchmark for the handset surfaced this morning that gives us a better idea of how the 5s will perform. And the results show significant gains over the iPhone 5…(...)

| New Apple TV hardware due next month, says Apple pundit Posted: 11 Sep 2013 02:06 PM PDT
MG Siegler, a TechCrunch columnist, blogger, Google Ventures partner and self-proclaimed Apple fanboy, has some solid sources at Apple. Though he rarely comments on what Apple will or will not do, when he does you can bet your shirt he won’t make off-the-cuff remarks. Today, Siegler felt compelled to take to Twitter and share with the world that a new Apple TV hardware could be arriving as soon as next month. The claim seemingly corroborates a sketchy GigaOM report that suggested the possibility of some kind of television-related product from Apple, based on leaked shipping records “from a top supplier,” labeled labeled ‘Set Top Boxes’…(...)

| Some Apple Stores discount iPhone 5 stock Posted: 11 Sep 2013 01:45 PM PDT
Yesterday’s iPhone 5s/5c announcement has brought a few changes to the iPhone lineup. The 16/32/64GB iPhone 5s is now Apple’s new top-of-the-line offering, respectively priced at $199/$299/$399 with a two-year contract. Apple has also discounted the iPhone 5 and reshuffled the iPhone 4s offering by introducing the 8GB iPhone 4s as the bargain option costing zero bucks after a two-year contract. According to a new report, some of the California firm’s retail stores in Canada have discounted existing stock of the unlocked iPhone 5 models with sixteen and thirty-two gigabytes by $100. The off-contract 16GB iPhone 5 has also been slashed by $100 to $599, down from $699 previously…(...) "Some Apple Stores discount iPhone 5 stock" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Disney’s ‘Second Screen Live’ invites kids to bring their iPads to the movies Posted: 11 Sep 2013 01:13 PM PDT
Typically, when you go to a movie theater to watch a film, you’re asked to shut down all mobile devices. “Please silence your cell phones now,” is a common request you’ll see on screen, right before your flick begins. But that won’t be the case at Disney’s The Little Mermaid: Second Screen Live event. Movie-goers will actually be encouraged to bring along their iPads, and use them, as they interact with the film using a special app…(...)

| Apple removes iCloud Keychain from iOS 7 GM, here’s why Posted: 11 Sep 2013 12:00 PM PDT
Yesterday, Apple seeded its registered iOS developers with a so-called Gold Master version of iOS 7, which is essentially the same version owners of iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices will be getting come September 18. Unfortunately, it seems the company has quietly pulled the useful iCloud Keychain feature from the GM build. The company did not provide an explanation as to why exactly the feature got yanked. For what it’s worth, it’s entirely possible the company leadership didn’t feel confident enough to declare iCloud Keychain ready for prime time. We have another theory…(...)

| Infinity Blade III coming to iOS September 18 for $6.99 Posted: 11 Sep 2013 11:54 AM PDT
I’m not sure how it happened, but somewhere amidst all of the excitement yesterday, we completely neglected to talk about the new Infinity Blade game. For those who missed it, Apple brought Chair’s Donald Mustard up on stage during its iPhone event to introduce Infinity Blade III. The move, of course, was to help Apple show off the power of the iPhone 5s’ new A7 processor, but it was a big moment for Infinity Blade fans as well. After the ‘Dungeons’ title was canceled, the future of the franchise was uncertain. But Chair put all those concerns to rest yesterday…(...)

| Realmac announces Clear for iOS 7 will be a separate new app Posted: 11 Sep 2013 11:15 AM PDT
Realmac Software, the guys who brought you the popular to-do iOS app Clear, the iOS camera app called Analog Camera and the gorgeous scrapbook app for the Mac, Ember, today shared their roadmap for Clear. As iOS 7 gets its official release date – September 18 – developers are busy updating their warez with the matching flattened look and support for new technologies Apple added to it mobile operating system. As Apple still doesn’t allows developers to introduce paid upgrades to existing App Store apps, some developers – Realmac Software included – have opted to re-release their apps as a separate, iOS 7-specific download…(...)

There weren’t many surprises left yesterday during Apple’s iPhone event where not one, but two devices were unveiled. There was of course the iPhone 5s, the new flagship device, and also the iPhone 5c, the rumored inexpensive iPhone aimed at emerging markets and first time smartphone buyers. At least that’s what we all believed. If we all knew early on what the iPhone 5c was going to look like, there was something we were not certain about: the pricing. With an estimated unsubsidized price tag of $450, the iPhone 5c was supposed to hit the sweet spot. It was not Samsung-cheap, but it was not iPhone-expensive either, making it the defacto budget iPhone Wall Street had been pushing for. Wall Street had actually brainwashed us to believe that a cheaper iPhone was what Apple needed in markets where the company isn’t doing as well as it should, such as China, and other parts of Asia, Russia, etc. Whether Wall Street is right or not doesn’t matter because, as always, Apple didn’t let the money men dictate the company what to do. As always, Apple went Apple’s way and unveiled a device that is everything but affordable. It sure is $100 less than the top of the line iPhone 5s, but starting at $549 off contract, the iPhone 5c is still $100 more expensive than our wildest expectations. So what happened?(...)

| iPhone 5s/5c will support 4G LTE on UK’s O2 and Three, carriers confirm Posted: 11 Sep 2013 09:48 AM PDT
Apple’s new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c can work on more than thirteen different LTE bands, “more than any other single model of smartphone,” per Apple. Whereas last year’s iPhone 5 launched in a hundred countries across 240 different carriers, 2013 iPhones will be released on an additional 30 carriers, bringing the number of world carriers which carry Apple’s device to 270. Now, there’s been some commotion whether or not the handset’s updated LTE capabilities support 4G LTE flavors of United Kingdom’s O2 and Three carriers…(...)

| Apple launches $59 AppleCare+ extended coverage for iPod touch and iPod classic Posted: 11 Sep 2013 09:04 AM PDT
Hot on the heels of yesterday’s iPhone 5s/5c introduction, Apple has quietly brought its premium $99 AppleCare+ iPhone coverage to the United Kingdom, France and Italy. The extended coverage plan – previously limited to customers in the United States, Canada and Japan – covers up to two incidents of accidental damage from handling of your device. Not only is Apple taking the AppleCare+ coverage to more places, but more devices as well. Today, we learn that AppleCare+ is now available for two iPod devices: the iPod touch and the iPod classic…(...)

| iPhone 5c approved for China Mobile, to cost ‘significantly more’ than expected Posted: 11 Sep 2013 08:20 AM PDT
Recall how the iPhone 5c was thought to be Apple’s answer to China’s smartphone market dominated by inexpensive handsets? Turns out, the handset costs “significantly more” than expected and nearly as much as the full-featured iPhone 5s, also unveiled Tuesday. At $733 without a subsidy (in China), the iPhone 5C may not be so cheap after all. “By any standards, it’s a premium price,” one analyst told the New York Times Wednesday morning. However, there still could be good news for Apple, as China approves the iPhone for China Mobile, the world’s largest wireless carrier…(...)

| Apple quietly discontinues Cards iOS app Posted: 11 Sep 2013 07:54 AM PDT
Remember Apple’s Cards app? Scott Forstall himself introduced the card-creation software for the iPhone and iPad during the October 2011 media event and it’s gone to become quite popular in a select few countries where users were permitted to create beautiful cards from their photos and order them physically, priced at $2.99 each. Perhaps in another nod at de-Forstallization of Apple, the company has confirmed that the application has been discontinued now…(...)

| New Apple TV software with AirPlay enhancements due September 18 Posted: 11 Sep 2013 07:30 AM PDT
While some watchers have been expecting Apple TV news during yesterday’s keynote, Apple instead chose to talk exclusively about the new iPhone 5s/5c and the revamped iOS 7 software. Apple’s been testing a new version of the software powering its $99 set-top box since iOS 7 was introduced at WWDC this June. We’ve seen some of the new features such as a Conference Room Mode for presenters. Moreover, earlier this week the AllThingsD blog shed more light on improved AirPlay support allowing users to watch the media they own on someone else’s box without having to log in with their iTunes Store account. Today, a new report alleged that the final version of the updated firmware will hit Apple TVs a week from today, on September 18, 2013…(...)

| Planetbeing provides update on iOS 7 jailbreak status Posted: 11 Sep 2013 06:51 AM PDT
Yesterday, the Evad3rs’ @planetbeing said that the team behind the Evasi0n jailbreak for iOS 6 was starting some initial investigation into the possibility of an iOS 7 jailbreak. It doesn’t look like they plan on wasting much time in the process. In an update provided via Twitter, planetbeing states that he’s achieved unsigned userland code execution using some of the stuff the team has held in reserve. As mentioned yesterday, the Evad3rs are now on a reconnaissance mission to see what exploits still work with iOS 7. (...)

| Apple posts iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c product videos to YouTube Posted: 11 Sep 2013 01:12 AM PDT
Can’t get enough of the new iPhones? Yeah, us either. So as you can imagine, we were excited to see that Apple has posted three new promotional videos for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c on its YouTube channel this evening. Ok so they’re not new videos—Apple showed them during its media event earlier today. But for those who missed them, or just love watching Jony Ive talk against a white background, we’ve posted the clips after the break…(...)

While the iPhone 5s turned some heads today with its new 64-bit A7 processor, redesigned camera, and fingerprint-sensing Home button, the star of the show was clearly the iPhone 5c. After years of rumors and speculation, the more affordable plastic iPhone became a reality. The device itself is essentially iPhone 5 hardware, repackaged in a polycarbonate plastic shell and priced at less than $100 (with contract). And with its chamfered edges and various bright colorways, it’s actually a pretty sharp-looking device. Here, check out our 5c gallery…(...)
