So, Santa left you a little gift under the Christmas tree in the form of Apple Watch and now you want to know what apps and games you should start off with. Lucky for you, we have recent experience at being new to Apple Watch, as well as about eight months worth of knowing which titles we think are perfect for beginners.
So, if you have just unwrapped your Apple Watch and want to know what you should add first, we have a list of the best 10 apps and games for you.
If Santa (or maybe your hard-working, thoughtful spouse) brightened your holiday with Apple's fourth-generation set-top box this year, you've got a big surprise in store for you. Not only can you watch your favorite movies and television shows from such apps as Netflix, Hulu Plus, and HBO Go, but Apple TV 4 has also been updated with its own App Store full of interesting content for your big screen.
If you just unwrapped a new Apple TV and are wondering where to start, we've created a list of the 10 best apps and games for new users.
Now that you have your brand new iPhone 6s or 6s Plus, or maybe iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro (or both, for that matter), you'll need some accessories to go with your new gadgets. Cases are a must have for protection, but there are lots of ways to compliment the look and productivity of your iOS device.
We've got a list of our 10 favorite accessories for the iPhone and iPad. But, keep in mind that everyone is different and what we think is perfect, might not fit your needs. If you have favorite accessories for the iPhone and iPad, please feel free to include them in the comments.
It is hard to imagine that there are still people out there that haven't had, at least some experience with an iOS device. However, we know that there are plenty of smartphone and tablet users that are making the transition from another platform to Apple this year.
To celebrate your new adventure into the world of Apple, we've come up with a list of 10 must-have apps and games for you to download onto your iPhone or iPad after it is fresh out of the box.
A promising new jailbreak tweak called Cabbage is now available for download on the Cydia. Cabbage is a tweak that allows you to use 3D Touch to queue tracks for Up Next playback in the stock Music app. It takes an action that normally takes two gestures, and simplifies it down to a single 3D Touch gesture.
SafariBeBetter might not be a tweak that's big on grammar, but it provides a few subtle changes to the Safari browsing experience in an effort to improve things for the better. The changes won't necessarily be changes that everyone will agree with, but I found the tweak to provide enough thoughtful enhancements to make it worth trying.
In all, SafariBeBetter enables three changes for the stock Safari browser. There's the ability to Autohide bookmarks, show a complete web page URL, and change autohide settings for the address and navigation bars. Check out the rest of this post for a deeper explanation of what makes SafariBeBetter tick.
I appreciate my iPhone 6s Plus' ability to display the Home screen in landscape mode, but in practice I rarely use it or even want it. With a stock iPhone 6s Plus, there's no way to prevent the Home screen from rotating without turning off rotation altogether. But a new jailbreak tweak called Nuus will allow you to isolate rotation locking to just the Home screen.
It's been a while in the making, but it is now possible to install Kodi on tvOS. Granted, this is a very early tutorial, and Kodi for Apple TV 4 is still in the pre-pre-alpha stages, but it does work, although not perfectly yet.
Still, the fact that we can even get Kodi on the Apple TV without jailbreaking is a win in itself. In this video tutorial, I'll show you how to install Kodi on the new Apple TV running tvOS.
Even if you don't wish to pay $99 a year to join the Apple Developer Program, you can still create a free Apple ID and use that Apple ID to access a limited set of developer-oriented privileges. The free developer account isn't technically a developer account at all; Apple simply gives Apple ID users, who don't wish to become a member of the official paid Apple Developer Program, access to Xcode Developer Tools, Xcode beta releases, developer forums, and more.
Most importantly, your Apple ID can be used to "Test on Device", which essentially means that anyone with a free Apple ID can deploy apps to their iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs, without relying on a paid developer account. In this simple to follow video tutorial, we'll show you how.
As reported on by The Wall Street Journal two days ago, citing people familiar with the matter, the Internet giant Google is allegedly working on a brand new messaging app to take on the growing popularity of apps for keeping in touch, namely Facebook-owned Messenger and WhatsApp.
In addition to messaging capability, the app is said to put a big emphasis on so-called chatbots, smart personal assistants that will scour the web and other sources to answer a question.
If your family is coming to visit, or if you are headed home for the holidays, you may be in need of some festivities that will keep any opinionated uncles from talking about politics and religion.
One way to keep things light is to participate in good old-fashioned family game night. Whether you pass-and-play on the iPad, compete via Game Center on your iPhone, grab two controllers for Apple TV 4, or simply pull out a tabletop board game from grandma's dusty closet, we have some suggestions for keeping spirits bright as you while away the evenings this holiday season.
