Apple plans to release iOS 8.4 in the coming months, and it could include Apple's new music streaming service, 9to5mac wrote in a report on Monday.
While iOS 8.3 hasn't even hit the public scene, iOS 8.4 is currently in development at Apple, and is codenamed Copper after a popular ski resort in Colorado.
Shazam, a media identification service, on Monday released an update to its iOS application in the App Store.
The enhancements include deeper integration with Spotify and Rdio with the ability to listen to full tracks and rate them with the player, more reliable saving of your Shazams to a dedicated playlist in Spotify or Rdio, consolidated charts and other goodies.
Both the free Shazam 8.3 app for the iPhone and iPad and the $7 Shazam Encore have received these new features in their respective updates.
Monday morning, Apple somewhat unexpectedly seeded the first beta of iOS 8.3 to developers. Registered iOS developers can download the software through Apple's Dev Center portal.
The first beta of iOS 8.3 arrives just a week after seeding the fifth beta of iOS 8.2, which is also currently in testing and due for release soon.
BGR said recently that iOS 8.2 will arrive ahead of the Apple Watch launch in April so it's unclear what new features iOS 8.3 brings to iOS.
As most of you guys know, I've been a so-called "cord cutter" for going on three years now, and I haven't looked back. Cord cutting has lots of pluses, but one of the big downsides to doing so is the lack of live content—namely sports.
As someone who loves watching sports, Dish Network's Sling TV, which just officially launched in the US today, provides me with ESPN, ESPN 2, and a whole host of additional live sports content is very appealing to me. In this post, I'll breakdown some of the pluses and minuses about Sling TV, and let you know if it's worth trying at this early stage in its life.
The future of digital music is anything but certain, even less so given that fewer and fewer people nowadays choose to buy MP3s and physical CDs amid the proliferation of streaming services spearheaded by Spotify, the popular music-streaming service hailing from Sweden.
Of course, Spotify is but one in the sea of local and global music sources vying for your attention.
On top of Spotify and the likes of Pandora and Rdio are incumbents such as Apple, Amazon and Google that offer both à la carte song downloads and all-you-can-eat subscriptions. We're interested to learn about our readership's favorite music sources and are kindly inviting you to jump past the fold and cast your vote.
A new report by 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman alleges that iOS 9 will mark a Snow Leopard-style release, one said to pause on innovation in order to focus on stability and reliability improvements.
A “huge” focus of iOS 9 is on fixing bugs, maintaining stability and boosting performance “rather than solely focusing on delivering major new feature additions,” writes the author.
iOS 9 is reportedly codenamed Stowe after a ski resort in Vermont. Selling stability as a tentpole feature isn't that peculiar in light of Apple's recent software woes that have culminated with a botched iOS 8.0.1 release, a plethora of bugs and various user complaints about iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite feeling unfinished and rough around the edges.
Last evening, American Express began airing its inaugural television commercial for Apple Pay.
Conceived as the evolution of AmEx, the commercial, called “Retrospective,” uses some of AmEx's best-known ads featuring celebrities such as Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Henson, Tina Fey, Jackie Chan and Martin Scorsese (who also starred in Apple's Sir ad).
“American Express’ timeless safety and security are now available on Apple Pay,” the ad proclaims. “The next evolution of membership is here.”
Following a limited invite-only launch last month, Dish's Sling TV service is now available to everyone in the United States, the company announced Monday.
In addition, the service has added AMC to the basic channel lineup so you'll be able to watch Better Call Saul, Mad Men and Walking Dead, for example.
Microsoft today released an update to Skype for iPhone in the App Store. In addition to general improvements, Skype 5.10 for iPhone lets you quickly call people and groups straight from a new chat picker: just tap on a new chat icon and choose who to talk to.
The update enhances Skype's dialer with a useful auto-complete feature that searches for Skype contacts as you’re entering a phone number.
Most importantly, the new version brings Skype URI support back to iPhones so third-party developers can again write apps that integrate with Skype.
The component industry is expecting the rear-camera for the iPhone 6s to retain the same 8-megapixel sensor Apple has been using in previous generations of the iPhone. As such, it appears Apple won't be jumping on the 16-megapixel bandwagon of insanely increasing megapixel count for marketing purposes.
The rumor on Monday is centered around a report from Taipei-based analyst Jeff Pu who claims the iPhone 6s will have the same camera hardware specifications as previous models, according to Taipei Times. Pu is formulating his predictions around one supplier.
The Food and Drug Administration ruled on Friday that it will be taking a hands-off approach when it comes to the regulation of health apps and software.
VentureBeat reports apps that simply convey and track data will be left alone and won't need specific approval by the FDA like apps that provide specific medical advice. This is big news for the Apple Watch when it ships in April.
