iOS 5 Brings Complete Twitter Integration

Sébastien Page ∙ June 6, 2011

As expected, Twitter is going to be a big part of iOS 5. Apple's goal was to make Twitter easier to use in iOS 5, and it seems that they're going to succeed. In iOS 5, Apple has added "Single Sign On," a feature that allows you to login to Twitter directly from your Settings app.

Also as expected, Twitter has been integrated into the Photo and Camera apps. From now on, you can send pictures directly to Twitter without having to launch an app, or rely on a jailbreak tweak. In addition, you can tweet from Safari, from YouTube, or from Maps...

What’s Hiding Behind This WWDC Secret Banner?

Sébastien Page ∙ June 6, 2011

A secret banner was spotted at WWDC this morning by Greg Kumparak of TechCrunch. What could be hiding behind this banner? A new logo for iOS? Or maybe some new hardware to go along with the new iOS 5?

Ok, to be honest, I think there will be a new iPhone today. Let my imagination go wild here for a bit. I think the new iPhone is going to look exactly like the iPhone 4, with obviously more power under the hood. I think Steve Jobs is going to make his presentation using this new iPhone 5, and at the end of the keynote, he's going to say: "one more thing, you've watched me do this whole presentation on our new iPhone 5"...

Alex Heath ∙ Updated October 10, 2018

It's the eve of Apple's annual WWDC conference, and we knew that a "leak" was bound to get out sooner or later. Very rarely does an Apple event occur without some sort of unconfirmed tidbit that gets leaked the night before.

This time, it appears that TechCrunch may have got its hands on what looks to be a new system of notifications in iOS 5. You should be very skeptical of this picture, but it still makes for fun speculation...

iCloud More iTunes Than MobileMe?

Oliver Haslam ∙ June 5, 2011

We're less than 24 hours away from the big opening to WWDC 2011 now, and the rumors are still flying as to what we will and won't see when Steve Jobs puts sneaker to stage at the Moscone Center. The latest buzz comes courtesy of Apple fanboy and tech pundit John Gruber, with the Daring Fireball himself sharing his thoughts on tomorrow's announcements.

The full post goes on for a good few hundred words and re-hashes much of what the community has already speculated over the last week or so, but with one considerable exception. According to Gruber's fourth-hand information, we shouldn't be thinking of Apple's iCloud as the new MobileMe, but rather the new iTunes. Intrigued? So were we...
