CBS Sports announced on Tuesday that it will be streaming an expanded schedule of NFL coverage this year to a wide range of devices, including Apple TV. The new schedule features two regular season games, four playoff games and Super Bowl 50.
This will be the first time ever CBS offers free live streams of regular season NFL games. Coverage begins with the New York Jets and Miami in London on October 4, and continues with the Carolina Panthers vs. the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.
As you guys know, there was a pretty significant iCloud account attack reported recently, in which nearly a quarter of a million iCloud accounts were exposed to potential compromise. The number of accounts that were actually hacked is up for debate, but it was less than half of the reported 220,000~ or so iCloud accounts exposed.
Of course, many took this attack as an opportunity to lecture about the reasons why we shouldn't jailbreak. While such a lecture isn't necessarily ill-intentioned, I think that most people who jailbreak understand that there are some inherited risks associated with doing so.
It's not like accidentally downloading an infected app on your computer, or an ill-advised clicking on a shady email link. Those who jailbreak generally know that there are some security risks involved, at least partially. The problem is, many don't understand that there are effective ways to protect one's self.
How do you go about ensuring that you're as safe as possible while maintaining a jailbroken iPhone? The following steps will show you how.
Apple on Wednesday added 18 new banks and credit unions to the growing list of Apple Pay-supporting issuers in the United States. With these additions, Apple Pay is now compatible with more than 450 financial institutions nationwide.
Launched in October of last year, Apple Pay is a mobile payment service that allows users to pay for goods and services using their iPhone or Apple Watch. It’s accepted at hundreds of thousands of retailers and restaurants around the country.
Contrary to prior rumors, 9to5Mac is reporting that Apple's long-expected oversized 'iPad Pro' will be formally announced at the iPhone 6s press event after all. The event's been confirmed to take place a week from today, on next Wednesday, September 9, at San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
The publication learned from sources that the forthcoming presentation is set to be one of largest events in Apple's history. In addition to the iPad Pro and the iPhone 6s/6s Plus, it should serve as a launchpad for a fourth-generation iPad mini, a substantially refreshed Apple TV set top box and new Apple Watch Sport bands.
At this point, I think we can all agree that the state of gaming on the current generation Apple TV leaves a lot to be desired. Yes, it’s possible in some respects, through AirPlay, but it’s clunky, laggy, and never quite lived up to its potential.
With the new Apple TV, however, things will surely get better. In fact, I think that gaming is going to really hit its stride on Apple platforms with the advent of the new gaming-centric features on Apple’s upcoming refresh to its set top box.
As we discussed in the last episode of Let’s Talk iOS, gaming is set to take a gigantic leap with Apple TV gen-4. In this post, I’ll outline 5 reasons why avid gamers should start licking their chops at the potential of the device that Apple is set to reveal next Wednesday.
Revered gadget leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer recently published a photo of claimed iPhone 6s packaging which suggests that Apple's upcoming iPhones will continue to offer just sixteen gigabytes of storage in baseline models.
A new report Wednesday by 9to5Mac's well-connected Mark Gurman reaffirms claims that Apple won't be ditching the 16-gigabyte tier.
Moreover, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus should have unchanged on-contract pricing as the 2014 models: $199/$299/$399 for the 16/64/128GB iPhone 6s and $299/$399/$499 for the 16/64/128GB iPhone 6s Plus.
The allegedly upcoming Apple TV refresh will file as the most detailed overhaul of the device's hardware, but it doesn't seem that the new box will support 4K streaming, as per 9to5Mac's sources.
The publication reported today that even though the fourth-generation Apple TV will be powered by Apple's sped-up A8 processor (likely overclocked, as there will be no battery bottlenecks), it purportedly won't support video streaming and AirPlay in 4K.
This is something of a surprise considering that the A8 processor inside the iPhone 6 was found capable of rendering 4K 3,840-by-2,160 pixel footage without a hiccup.
Unlike Amazon and Netflix who stream commercial-free movies and television shows in exchange for a monthly fee, Hulu's existing $7.99 per month plan includes limited advertising. Wednesday, Hulu unveiled a new monthly plan that gets rid of all advertising for an extra $4 a month.
As noted in Hulu's media release, commercial-free viewing is available to both new and existing customers for a monthly fee of $11.99.

The Apple Campus 2 project, a future 2.8 million square foot home for approximately 12,000 Apple employees, is coming along nicely. The structure, affectionally dubbed the iSpaceship due to its ring-shaped design, was recently filmed from above by Silicon Valley-based videographer Duncan Sinfield who shared his footage with MacRumors.
The high-quality aerial video includes segments of Steve Jobs' 2011 project pitch to the Cupertino City Council as a voiceover. The video is well worth watching as it gives details on the different buildings Apple is constructing while offering progress comparisons with the previous footage from early August.
Following a recent report by 9to5Mac's reliable blogger Mark Gurman that a fourth-generation Apple TV will cost between $149 and $199, BuzzFeed's John Paczkowski has corroborated that information, adding that the set-top box will also include a universal search feature.
Billed as another tentpole feature, universal search will allow owners of the forthcoming set-top box to search for a show or movie once “and see results from all sorts of different sources.”
After struggling to gain a single percentage point over a four-week period, the adoption rate of iOS 8 now appears to have accelerated as iOS 8 now powers 87 percent of the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices in the wild, as measured by the App Store on Monday, August 31, 2015.
That growth came at the expense of iOS 7, which has gone from powering thirteen percent of iOS devices two weeks ago to accounting for twelve percent of hardware in active use.
A month ago, iOS 8 adoption sat at 85 percent and iOS 7 comprised thirteen percent of iOS gadgets in the wild. Pre-iOS hardware continues to scrape out a mere two percent.
