Now that registered iOS developers have had a chance to install the first beta of iOS 7, lots of tidbits not covered during the keynote are trickling in now. Cody already told you about 24 iOS 7 features Apple didn't talk about and Jeff explained how the new Clock app displays current time on its icon.
Another way overdue but nonetheless very welcomed feature is the ability to block phone calls from a specific person...
Shortly after Tim Cook wrapped up Apple's big keynote yesterday, developers and other WWDC attendees made their way over to another popular event: the 2013 Apple Design Award show.
Every year, Apple hands out awards to outstanding iOS and OS X apps based on a number of factors like design, and innovation. And the winners of this year's prestigious Design Awards are...
As we continue to dig through all of the new features and UI changes in iOS 7, we've come across a minor, yet interesting, detail. It looks like the Clock app icon now displays the correct time, and has an animated second hand.
At least, in all of Apple's screen shots it shows the correct time. Notice in the image above how the time on the Clock icon matches up with the time in the status bar. But I can't for the life of me get it to work on my iPhone 4S...
Well, that’s all folks. Apple’s highly anticipated WWDC keynote has come, and gone. All announcements have been made, all new software and products have been unveiled, and now the day is coming to a close.
A lot has happened in the last 10 hours, with a new version of Mac OS X, iOS and new Macs all making an appearance during today’s event. And we understand that it might have been difficult to keep track of it all, so we’ve put together this awesome roundup of everything important that happened today...
"The enemy of my enemy, is my friend." That proverb seems fitting for the new Bing partnership Apple announced today, which sees Microsoft's lackluster search engine tapped as the default search engine for the snarky digital assistant Siri.
The entire audience went silent during the keynote this morning, as Apple's SVP of Internet software and services Eddy Cue announced that new in iOS 7, Siri will be able to respond to queries with integrated Bing web search results...
With the first iOS 7 beta now available to Apple's registered developers, Twitter is on fire with both praises and complaints from those who have downloaded and installed the software to their devices. At first blush, a lot of people seem to dislike the redesigned home screen icons - and I bet some folks will actually miss skeuomorphism in iOS 7.
Those who do love the new iOS 7 look tend to be equally passionate about the subject. We knew changes in iOS 7 would be polarizing and I'm still bipolar about it.
That being said, today we're asking you to participate in our little non-scientific poll and vote on the subject of iOS 7 redesign. Please disregard iOS 7 features, this poll is strictly focused on finding out whether or not iOS 7 is aesthetically pleasing to your eye...
Apple showed off a lot of cool new features in iOS 7 this morning. There's the anti-theft measure, called Activation Lock, and 'iOS in the Car,’ which lets users mirror their iPhone screens on in-car displays. And don't forget about the new iTunes Radio.
But there's also a lot of stuff in iOS 7 that Apple didn't talk about today, due to time limitations and other restrictions. And looking at this slide behind Tim Cook at the end of the keynote, there's at least 24 features that weren't mentioned today...
Apple has shared a bunch of software-focused updates during today's WWDC keynote, but only briefly touched on a few topics dear to my heart, due to time constraints. Among them: native LinkedIn sharing. As you know, OS X Mountain Lion already incorporates single sign-on for Facebook and Twitter. Truth be told, the company did make a passing mention of LinkedIn integration during the keynote's Safari segment and it would only seem natural that it will be bringing that capability to iOS 7 in the betas preceding a Fall release...
As we continue to sift through the mounds of new information Apple dropped on us today, one of the announcements that got lost in the shuffle is the new Calendar app in OS X Mavericks. The desktop OS didn't get quite the makeover that iOS did, but Calendar looks and acts completely different than its predecessor...
Folks who missed Apple's WWDC keynote this morning, or would just like to watch it again, will be happy to hear that Apple has just posted the full video online for your streaming pleasure. Obviously, you can read everything you need to know about today's event right here on iDB. But if you have the time, the video is definitely worth watching...
As you know, Apple alongside a host of software-focused announcements today also refreshed its AirPort wireless appliances with compatibility for the latest 802.11ac standard, also known as Gigabit Ethernet. As a result, the updated AirPort Express and Time Capsule base stations can now transfer data up to three times faster, and more reliably too. And to go along with the hardware refresh, the company has pushed new versions of AirPort Utility for iOS and Mac...
About halfway through Apple's keynote today, Craig Federighi brought Tim Cook back up onstage for one of the biggest reveals in the company's history. It was the moment everyone had been waiting for: the preview of Apple's biggest iOS refresh to date, iOS 7.
Rather than jump right into listing new features and improvements, Apple chose to introduce the new software with a hardware-like introduction video featuring Jony Ive talking against a white background. And in case you missed it, Apple just posted it online...
