iPad and Apple TV shipping estimates begin slipping

Jake Smith ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

Yesterday, Apple announced its new iPad and Apple TV at a media event in California. Later that afternoon, both products went up for pre-order on Apple's Online Store. Apple said at the time both products would begin shipping to customers on March 16th. However, due to the excitement over both products, shipping times for both the Apple TV and iPad have slipped, as noted by 9to5mac.

Some models of the iPad have slipped back to March 19th, while the Apple TV has slipped back even further -- now delivering in roughly "1 -2 weeks" for customers that are just pre-ordering...

New iPad packs 1GB of RAM, not that Apple will tell you that

Oliver Haslam ∙ March 8, 2012

If there's one thing that's guaranteed about an Apple hardware release these days, it's that all of us are going to wonder just what innards are hidden beneath that oh-so-gorgeous exterior.

The new iPad is no different, and while the rumors suggest that the new tablet will sport a considerable chunk of RAM, 1GB to be exact, it's not likely that Apple will be sharing the fact any time soon.

In fact, we doubt they'll ever share the iPad's amount of RAM with us mere mortals...

OpenStreetMap admits it’s behind iPhoto for iOS mapping service

Cody Lee ∙ March 8, 2012

Yesterday we reported that Apple's new iPhoto app for iOS is using the company's own internal mapping solution instead of Google's. This was a big deal because Apple has used Google Maps in nearly everything for the last 5 years.

Well it looks like we got it partially right. The maps used in iPhoto's geotagging service isn't Google Maps. But it isn't Apple's either. As it turns out, the data is coming from an open-source mapping company called OpenStreetMap...

Watch the iPad 3 event in iTunes, or on your Apple TV now

Oliver Haslam ∙ March 8, 2012

If you're anything like us, and if you're reading this you probably are, then you're the kind of person who likes to kick back with a coffee and enjoy a good Apple event in all its glory. That means on a big-screen TV, not hunched over a MacBook screen.

Now you can see the announcement of the iPad 3, sorry, new iPad, on a screen large enough to do it justice, with Apple now making the event available to download via iTunes.

That also means, dear friends, that you can also check the event out on your Apple TV. Like we did. Twice...

Earlier today, Apple unveiled a new iPhoto application for iOS during its iPad 3 event. The app is essentially a mobile version of its popular photo editing and management software for the Mac.

iOS 5.1 turns your iPhone 4S into an iPhone 4G

Jake Smith ∙ March 7, 2012

If you're not worried about your jailbreak, we're assuming you've already installed the iOS 5.1 update that was just released this afternoon. iOS 5.1 adds some great features like Siri support for Japanese users, a new camera app for iPad, and a new camera shortcut.

The new update also adds a 4G indicator to the AT&T version of the iPhone 4S. While it doesn't truly support 4G, AT&T can call the iPhone 4S a 4G device because it supports HSPA+ networks up to 16 megabits per second...

Apple upgrades OTA download limit to 50MB

Cody Lee ∙ Updated November 27, 2016

Although the App Store and all of its wonderful applications are accessible over a 3G network, there's a bit of a caveat. Apple prevents you from downloading larger applications when using anything but a Wi-Fi connection.

That limitation used to be a measly 25MB, meaning anything over that would prompt a pop up that would tell you to connect to a Wi-Fi network to download. But it looks like today, Apple has bumped that limit up to 50MB...
