Last week we reported that a redesigned Remote app icon had been spotted in iTunes, suggesting that the app would be getting its long-awaited iOS 7 makeover sometime soon. But we have yet to see that happen.
That doesn't mean we aren't close though. Today, more evidence of an impending update surfaced by way of a similarly-new Remote icon appearing in the Columbian App Store's 'Designed for iOS 7' section...
Good news for folks hoping to score a new iPad Air tomorrow without having to go wait in line. A new report is out this afternoon reaffirming previous chatter that Apple will allow some users to schedule their online orders for same-day in-store pickup.
Citing sources familiar with the matter, 9to5Mac is reporting that some Apple Stores have been told to allocate a smaller number of devices for purchases handled in the morning and later in the day, leaving the rest of the inventory free for Personal Pickup...
J.D. Power and Associates is an American-based marketing information services firm that's highly regarded for its research on customer satisfaction. Apple loves to quote their surveys, and does so at media events and on earnings calls.
But this is one report Tim Cook and company are probably not going to be mentioning. In J.D. Power's latest tablet customer satisfaction survey, Apple was bested by Samsung on overall satisfaction and in particular areas like device cost...
Gameloft's new 'Thor: The Dark World' game hit the App Store this morning and is now available for download. The studio has been teasing the title since it first announced it back in July at the San Diego Comic Con event.
Today's release comes a week ahead of the Marvel movie of the same name, with which it shares characters and storylines. In the game, you'll lead the Asgardian forces as Thor on a mission to destroy the 9 worlds...
Last month, US District Judge Ronald White green-lighted a plan for Apple to pay $40 to everyone in the US who purchased an iPad 3G before June 2010 as part of a settlement for a series of class action lawsuits against it and AT&T.
The two companies were accused of pulling a bait-and-switch with the tablet, as Apple initially advertised it with AT&T's $30/month unlimited data plan, which the carrier ended up pulling a few months later in favor of share plans.
And class members have begun receiving their claim forms this week...
Infinity Blade fans will be happy to hear that the highly anticipated 'Soul Hunter' update is now available in the App Store. The download, which we talked about yesterday, brings the just-released Infinity Blade III game to version 1.1.
The update itself is massive, as evidenced in its lengthy change log which lists off several additions and improvements. Among the changes are various new items, new goals, and an all-new quest that includes a new location and enemy...
While the new iPad mini with Retina display is expected to be in very short supply when it launches later next month, the redesigned iPad Air will reportedly be very easy to find when it goes on sale November 1.
And a new report is out supporting this theory. Citing knowledgeable sources, 9to5Mac claims that Apple Stores and other retailers have begun receiving large shipments of iPad Air units ahead of this week's launch...
This year, Apple is offering the iPhone in more colors than ever before. The iPhone 5s comes in white, space gray and gold, and the iPhone 5c comes in white, pink, yellow, blue and green. That makes for a total of 8 colors—6 more than the handset came in last year.
But according to data from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (or CIRP), 2 of the colors are noticeably more popular than the others. For the iPhone 5s, over 40% of customers have purchased the space gray model. And as for the 5c, blue has been the top pick...
Nike has launched a new iOS app this week called 'Nike SB.' The SB stands for skateboard, and the app offers up a number of features for those who love the sport including an interactive trick guide, the ability to share tips and tricks, and more.
The app also allows users to play one another in S.K.A.T.E., an offshoot of H-O-R-S-E, which pits two players against each other in a trick shootout. When a player fails to replicate a trick, they're given a letter. And the first to spell "SKATE" loses...
Sprint today revealed that it has developed a new wireless technology that could allow it to surpass the data speeds of its competitors. Dubbed 'Sprint Spark,' the ultra-fast LTE service is currently capable of delivering peak speeds of up to 60Mbp .
But the company says that's just the beginning. Spark's speed will increase as the technology matures, and will eventually reach staggering 1Gbps download speeds. And to prove that, Sprint demonstrated a 1Gbps connection today at one of its labs...
When Apple announced the new iPad mini with Retina display at its media event last week, the only launch date given was 'November.' The move seemingly confirmed previous chatter that the company has been having a hard time making the tablet.
And today, a new report out of Taiwan adds to the narrative, claiming that the mini's initial supply constraint is directly related to its hi-res display. Apparently Sharp, who is responsible for 40% of the Retina mini panels, is seeing poor yield rates...
Researchers on Tuesday revealed a simple attack that exploits a newly-discovered vulnerability in iOS apps. The defect allows an app to be manipulated to display fraudulent information and discreetly intercept data sent by the end user.
Israel-based Skycure stumbled onto the problem when the team noticed their own app redirecting to a wrong address. It wasn't long before they realized they could do this with other apps, too, and decided it was worth further investigation...
