One of the many features that Apple revealed earlier this year as part of the unveiling of iOS 15 is called iCloud Private Relay. It's part of the suite of new features bundled with an iCloud+ subscription. And while Apple stills plans to launch it later this year, it won't be as a ready-to-launch feature, but a beta to start.
With September marching ever closer, Apple's goal to release the next major software updates for its platforms also inches closer. Which means the company is seeding developer updates as readily as it can, preparing developers (and public beta testers) for the upcoming arrivals. And today is no different.
Apple has now begun developer testing of custom iCloud email domains which will launch publicly in the fall as part of other new features advertised under the iCloud+ umbrella name.
As the United States National Park Service turns 105 years old, Apple has determined now is the right time to celebrate. The company today has announced a new initiative that will see many of its services promoting the national parks throughout the United States. And that includes the Apple Pay collaboration that we reported on earlier this week.
Another day, another series order from Apple for its video streaming service, Apple TV+. This time around it's another drama series based on a novel. And this is just the tip of the iceberg, as usual, as we're nowhere near a release date announcement just yet.
Apple's TestFlight software is now available on macOS, allowing developers to test-drive beta versions of their Mac apps before they are released publicly.
The global landscape has changed quite a bit over the last year and some change. Masks are now common place, and that means Apple's reliance on a facial recognition biometric system for its iPhone lineup has proven slightly more tedious than it should be. However, Apple did make a workaround -- but only if you use an Apple Watch. Now, according to a new rumor, Apple's working on something a bit more straightforward.
A new educational video from Apple on the intricacies of taking depth-of-field images of four-legged friends offers some great tips for shooting expressive pet portraits with iPhone.
With Google prepping to soon launch YouTube picture-in-picture on iPhone, now YouTube Premium subscribers can experimentally try out the picture-in-picture (PiP) on iOS.
Apple bills iCloud as a safe place to store a user's digital footprint, from documents to files to just about everything else that can be stored in the cloud. However, some folks out there in the wild will do just about anything to find personal, revealing photos of others. Like one man who has apparently broken into thousands of iCloud accounts on the hunt for explicit photos.
There is a lot of attention on how Google and Apple handle their respective digital storefronts. Some of that attention is all about making changes -- especially when it comes to Apple's App Store. And it looks like one bill from a major economy could set the stage for future change across the board. Which Apple is obviously not too pleased with.
If you prefer to keep your iPhone free of a case, but still want to rock some amount of protection from accidents, then Nomad may have just the options for you. Today, the company is unveiling and launching some new accessories that will help you keep things pretty minimal on your phone, but still offer up some protection.
Nomad is launching not only a lineup of new Leather Skins for the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max, but also some brand new Screen Protectors that are meant to work perfectly well with the new skins and large lineup of cases for Apple's smartphones, too. This won't offer up total body protection, so keep that in mind, but you should be able to avoid scrapes and scratches on both the front and back of your iPhone 12 with these new accessories installed.
