iPad Pro to start at $799 according to new report

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Earlier today, we conjectured about the final price of the iPad Pro on Let's Talk Jailbreak, and I think we all agreed that $799 would be the entry level price point for Apple's new tablet. A new report from 9to5Mac happens to go along with those sentiments.

According to the report, the iPad Pro will start off at an entry level price of $799. The report also states that, instead of the entry level model starting out at 64GB as it was initially thought to have, the base model iPad Pro will start off at 32GB instead.

Twitter for iPad gets an Auto Layout-inspired responsive design

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

It's been a long time coming, but Twitter for iPad is no longer the outdated red-headed-stepchild that it once was. This evening, Twitter pushed an update to the official Twitter app, along with a blog post entitled: Building a more unified Twitter for iOS.

In the blog post, the folks at Twitter explain the design philosophy behind the new iPad app. "Starting today," the post explains, "iPad users will be able to create and see revamped quote Tweets, explore trending topics in search, visit product and place pages, and more."

This is accomplished by making Twitter a universal app, and incorporating adaptive UI, a methodology inspired by Apple's Auto Layout system, which allows for a responsive design that lets apps adapt to the size of the current device.

Report: iPhone 6s to feature untethered ‘Hey Siri’ functionality

Jeff Benjamin ∙ September 8, 2015

Remember the invitation that Apple sent out to invitees for tomorrow's iPhone 6s event? The invitation contained the phrase "Hey Siri, give us a hint."

According to the Apple Insider's Mikey Campbell, this phrase alludes to a brand new feature shipping with the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus—always-on "Hey Siri" functionality.

"Hey Siri" is a function that first debuted in iOS 8, which allows you to invoke Siri hands-free using only your voice. The only catch is that your device has to be plugged in and charging to take advantage of the feature. If Apple Insider's report is true, then the iPhone 6s will be able to use Hey Siri functionality in an untethered fashion.

A Periscope app is being developed for the new Apple TV

Jeff Benjamin ∙ September 8, 2015

I think that there's enough smoke to state with confidence that a new Apple TV will be launched tomorrow, and it'll bring with it an SDK, which in turn means third-party apps on your TV screen.

As expected, we've yet to hear any developers go on record to state that they are in the process of making an app for Apple's soon-to-be-released set top box. But TechCrunch's Josh Constine has it on good authority that Twitter-owned Periscope, a live streaming app that allows users to broadcast from anywhere using their phone, is secretly building an app for the Apple TV.

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 18, 2018

In yet another sign that we're ridiculously close to launch, several images are now floating around the web showcasing the iPhone 6s box, complete with cover art.

The latest box art leak that I've seen is from @alixrezax, and it features what seems to be a Space Grey iPhone 6s. Unlike last year's sparse white box that featured a mere embossed outline of the phone awaiting inside, this year's model goes back to the product shot and wallpaper seen in past iPhone releases.
