Among the nearly 40 Apple patents granted today by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) are ones covering multi-touch technology, as well as designs for the iPhone 5 and the Lightning connector. The widest-ranging group of patents involves the multi-touch technology for the iPhone 5 and latest iPads and iPods.
Meanwhile, Apple's Senior Vice President of Design, Jonathan Ive, is given lead credit for designing the iPhone 5...
Folks who have taken a shine to the popular Gmail client Mailbox will be happy to hear that the app was updated today. The new version, which is marked as 1.3.1, brings about the usual bug fixes and one significant new feature: support for portrait mode on the iPad.
The Mailbox team tweeted out word of the update this afternoon, which will finally allow Mailbox users to view and compose email in portrait mode on the iPad. In previous versions, these two functions (as well as others) were limited to landscape mode on the tablet...
It seems like music discovery is all the rage these days. Twitter launched a new iPhone app back in April, and Apple launched its iTunes Music service earlier this month, both of which place a large focus on helping users discover new music.
And today, Shazam pushed further into the space. The popular song, album and artist identifier released a significant update to its iPhone and iPad apps this morning with, among other things, a new 'Pulse' feature for discovering new music...
Despite CEO Tim Cook's management shakeup last year, Apple's marketing and website departments don't seem to collaborate closely enough. In what could only be attributed to a human error, image files discovered on Apple's website earlier today offered a glimpse into iOS 7 icons different from the current iOS 7 Beta 1.
Another find involves graphics outlining device compatibility, with an image depicting iOS 7 running on the iPad and iPad mini...
Microsoft — the company behind the Surface RT (lol) — has posted another attack advertisement going at Apple's iPad. The ad makes fun of the iPad's lack of SD Card compatibility, its inability to run apps side by side, and its price. It's a decent ad, but their comparison points just don't stack up if you ask me.
Apple has posted a new, lengthy video to the iOS section of its website today. The 10-minute clip is called 'Making a difference. One app at a time.' and it highlights how folks around the globe are using apps on Apple's mobile products.
As usual, the videography in the short film is beautiful and the message is concise. Apple is showing how iOS apps help make the world a little bit better, and things a little bit easier, for people from all different walks of life. Watch it...
We've always contended that while Android has a numerical advantage over Apple's iOS, the iPhone and iPad see much greater usage.
More evidence of that belief: more than half of all 3G cellular traffic comes from Apple devices.
When combined, the iPhone 4, 4S and 5 account for about 53 percent of all 3G cellular traffic. Adding the iPad boosts the number to nearly 60 percent, according to a firm that analyzes cell network traffic. Where is Android? Samsung's Galaxy S, S2 and S3 combined make up a bit over eighteen percent of 3G traffic...
As with any major Apple event, where numerous announcements are made, I feel like some of what was talked about yesterday flew under the radar. Specifically, there were several cool features in iOS 7 that didn't get enough attention.
One of those features is support for third party gamepads. Physical controllers for iPhones and iPads have long been left to the ThinkGeeks and the Kickstarter projects, due to the lack of support. But that's going to change with iOS 7...
Shortly after Tim Cook wrapped up Apple's big keynote yesterday, developers and other WWDC attendees made their way over to another popular event: the 2013 Apple Design Award show.
Every year, Apple hands out awards to outstanding iOS and OS X apps based on a number of factors like design, and innovation. And the winners of this year's prestigious Design Awards are...
About halfway through Apple's keynote today, Craig Federighi brought Tim Cook back up onstage for one of the biggest reveals in the company's history. It was the moment everyone had been waiting for: the preview of Apple's biggest iOS refresh to date, iOS 7.
Rather than jump right into listing new features and improvements, Apple chose to introduce the new software with a hardware-like introduction video featuring Jony Ive talking against a white background. And in case you missed it, Apple just posted it online...
Although the beta version of iOS 7 is already available to registered developers, it was announced today that the public version won't be available until this Fall, presumably around the same time the new iPhone will be released.
The question that might come to your mind is "will my device be supported?" Chances are it will...
Yo! Sushi, a UK restaurant franchise, made a name for itself by delivering sushi to customers using the Japanese style 'kaiten' conveyor belt method. In a nice marketing gimmick, they are testing out the iTray, an iPad-controlled quadricopter which delivers sushi on flying trays to surprised customers. The method is being trialled by staff at Yo! Sushi in Soho, central London. Your video is right after the break...
