The Cupertino company has had a rough time sorting out its Apple TV updates over the past few weeks. It seems that all the trouble started when Scott Forstall's team released iOS 5 to the public earlier this month.
Last week Apple released a software update for its media hub (4.4.1), but it was immediately pulled due to customer complaints. Apparently re-releasing it still didn't do the trick, because tonight Apple seeded 4.4.2 to Apple TV owners...
The new 8MP camera in the iPhone 4S is one of the handset's standout features. Other than Siri, the improved camera is likely the biggest motivator for folks to upgrade to Apple's latest smartphone.
But iPhones haven't always sported class-leading camera hardware — it's come a long way in 4 years. Gizmodo demonstrates this with a side-by-side comparison of photos taken with each of the 5 iPhone models...
After nearly two weeks on the market, people are still finding new stuff in iOS 5. Apple's latest software update to its mobile operating system is loaded with new features — over 200 according to Scott Forstall and company.
The update also includes new capibilities for iOS users. You can activate your device's camera from your lock screen and you can view notifications by swiping down on your status bar. You can also save videos to your camera roll...
Dag Kittlaus, co-founder and former CEO of the Siri company that was recently bought by Apple, has left the project he helped start at the height of its glory. As reported by All Things D, Kittlaus's departure had been planned for quite some time.
Although Kittlaus leaves at a peculiar time, he apparently parted ways with Apple on friendly terms. Siri will continue to be developed by what is purportedly the largest team at Apple...
We've all wanted to order a new Apple product online, but have not wanted to wait for it to via companies like UPS. Wouldn't it be much easier if we could just place an order and then go to a local store to pick it up?
If a MacRumors source is to be believed, we could be doing just that at some point in the near future, with the trial program known as 'Sherwood' getting underway.
The system, the report claims, will include any product currently available via the online Apple Store, including built-to-order Macs and engraved iPods...
Apple today took a hammer to its curent lineup of iPad 2 Smart Covers, discontinuing one color and adding another. The rest of the lineup has also been given a minor makeover, according to MacRumors.
The move comes alongside a silent MacBook Pro refresh, with Apple choosing not to make an announcement about the changes to either product.
Smart Covers have proven popular amongst iPad 2 owners who want to protect their giant 9.7" screen without adding the unwanted bulk of a full-on case. These changes refresh the six-month old colors, while also making the interior of all Smart Covers the same color as the exterior – a change that should have been made before they ever went on sale! The Product RED cover is still two-tone, though...
The infamous Android versus iOS debate can get pretty intense. Both sides have avid fans that will seemingly defend their favorite mobile OS to the death. And one of the most popular subjects for the two sides to argue about are the numbers.
Numbers directly reflect the success of a product. That's why companies share sales data and other things like revenue on quarterly earnings calls — to show their progress. So the big question is, what do the numbers say about Android and iOS?
As is always the case when a new release of iOS comes out, jailbreaking can cause a few weird and wonderful things to happen with certain apps.
One such oddity is the way jailbroken iOS 5 devices seem unable to run Apple's iBooks app, with tapping the icon resulting in an immediate crash.
With the new Steve Jobs biography going on sale, not having a working release of iBooks could be a potential deal breaker for many jailbreakers out there, but as this video shows, there may be light at the end of the tunnel...
Last week Apple held a special event on its main Cupertino campus to celebrate Steve Jobs' life. The event was streamed all around the world to Apple employees, but unfortunately, the rest of us were not able to watch.
Apple today posted the video of the full event for everyone to watch...
Apple has been openly fighting against Android manufacturers for the past several months. The Cupertino company has accused handset makers like Samsung, HTC, and Motorola Mobility of infringing on its intellectual property.
A lot of people believe that Apple's hoard of patent lawsuits are going to end up stifling innovation, but they're not the only ones doing it. In fact, at this point, Android partners should probably be more afraid of Microsoft and its IP...
After talking to Siri on your iPhone 4S, you may have realized that you're talking to a woman. Ask Siri, "What are you wearing?" and you'll usually get a woman's response.
If you haven't realized that Siri is a she, then you prove the point of CNN's Brandon Griggs: people subconsciously prefer a female voice over a male one. The preference apparently harkens back to biology.
The Associated Press seems to have gotten its hands on the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. The highly anticipated book is due out later this month, but excerpts have been surfacing on the web over the last 48 hours.
One of the more interesting tidbits that has come to light is a passage regarding Jobs' thoughts and comments on third-party applications. Apparently at one point, Jobs thought that web apps were the wave of the future...
