As of iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2, you've been able to access music recognition through the Control Center overlay. Apple has announced that customers have used this Shazam-powered feature more than a billion times since those software updates dropped in November 2020.
Apple didn't do the traditional beta seeding for this release, but there were hints that Apple was working on a new software version of iOS ahead of the much more anticipated iOS 15. And, it turns out that is indeed the case.
Today, Apple has released iOS 14.8, iPadOS 14.8, watchOS 7.6.2, and macOS 11.6 Big Sur to the public. While the version number would suggest something big, that's not really going to be the case. This is meant to be the final version of iOS 14 released to the public, so it's not necessarily meant to add any major new features to the mix.
We learned back in June of this year that the second season of the hit drama series The Morning Show would make its premiere on Apple TV+ on September 17, 2021. It wasn't until August that we got our first look at what's coming next for everyone involved with the first official trailer. And now, a new featurette shows us who's new amongst the cast.
For the most part, Apple Maps relies on data collected by the company's specialized vehicles that are equipped with camera equipment. However, to cover the places where cars can't get to, that's where folks on foot with specialized backpacks come in. And they're on the move in several Canadian cities.
Claimed iPhone 13 cases have begun leaking ahead of Apple's “California Streaming” event on Tuesday, September 14, with the latest batch revealing Apple's first-party silicone and leather ones.
There should be an Appleevent in October to discuss new Macs and iPads, including a revamped iPad mini as well as 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros powered by the new A1X chip.
We're just a couple of days away from Apple unveiling some new products. The easy bet is that we'll see some new iPhones, with the iPhone 13 lineup expected to get the big ol' showcase experience this year. But we're also supposed to see a new Apple Watch, too. And Apple's truly wireless headphones might not be left out in the cold, either.
In October 2004, Apple introduced iPod Socks! While I’m a big fan of sleeve-style cases, the iPod Socks were a bit of an interesting launch for an Apple product. This iPod Socks wallpaper pack celebrates the varied colors and knitted stitching of Apple’s odd case.
Just a couple of days ago, the Odyssey Team shared that it was already investing in test devices for iOS & iPadOS 15 jailbreak development. The announcement was accompanied by a photograph of an iPod touch that had been custom engraved with the words “Odyssey Team” on the back.
More recently, Odyssey Team lead developer CoolStar took to the Sileo / Taurine / Odyssey Discord channel to share that libhooker — the tweak injection method utilized by the Chimera, Odyssey, and Taurine jailbreaks for iOS 12, 13, and 14 respectively — was mostly working on iOS 15 beta 8.
At iDownloadBlog, we continue to cover new jailbreak tweak releases and jailbreak-centric news on a daily basis despite the annual pre-event lull. But life often keeps us so busy that keeping up with everything new proves to be a challenging endeavor.
More than once a year, Apple sends out invitations to something big. In the first half of the year we get an invite to that year's Worldwide Developers Conference, and then later it's all about the big ol' September event. The event is the Big Deal, of course, where all the excitement comes from. But the invites aren't without their attention grabbing antics.
