Apple pulls iWork.com, leaving iOS users to soldier on with iCloud

Oliver Haslam ∙ March 10, 2012

With iCloud continuing to grow with new features left and right, Apple has begun trimming the fat by announcing the imminent death of another of its cloud-based services.

The iWork.com service is set to be switched off on July 31st 2012, having never gotten out of the beta stage and barely registering for many, even those who are self proclaimed Apple fans.

Jeff Benjamin ∙ September 12, 2011

Yesterday, we reported that the iPhone 5 might not receive the bump in storage that some have been expecting. Rumors swirling around a screen-grab from a Vodafone inventory listing, suggests that the iPhone 5 will arrive in one of four flavors — a black 16GB or 32GB option, and a white 16GB or 32GB option — 64GB of storage capacity was nowhere to be seen.

Now, at first, that might seem weird considering that Apple's created 64GB iterations of the iPod touch and iPad lineup. But iCloud is right on the horizon, and with it, Apple has effectively eliminated the need for increased local storage capacity in their mobile devices. Check inside to see why...
