Caught up in all of the hoopla about the iPhone 4S and iOS 5 was the release of an updated iWork suite for iOS.
The new iWork features iCloud syncing compatibility, a feature that has been in beta for months, but was finally released to the public last week.
Inside, we showcase iWork's new cloud syncing functionality, which allows you to sync documents on your iPod touch, iPad, iPhone, and even your Mac in limited fashion...
In an interview with Mashable's Ben Parr, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo shared some interesting statistics. He said that iOS 5 has caused a massive spike in signups for the social network.
According to Costolo, signups via iOS have tripled since iOS 5 was made available to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users last Wednesday. Add in the hugely successful iPhone 4S launch on Friday, and you have a lot of people plugging their Twitter credentials right into iOS...
Ever since Apple unveiled iOS 5 last June, most of its features have essentially been public knowledge. Notification Center, iMessage, etc. — we've been talking about this stuff for several months now.
But the latest version of iOS includes over 200 new features, and many of them have gone unnoticed. So, we put together a short list of 5 awesome features that you may or may not know about. Hit the break for the rundown...
We've been hearing murmurings that Apple was considering giving users a way to merge two separate Apple ID for a month or so now, but it appears that any hopes of those coming dreams coming to fruition have just been dashed to pieces.
With Apple launching iCloud to the public over the last few days, many had been wondering if the rumors were true, and if Apple was going to offer a way for users to consolidate multiple Apple IDs into one "super" account. This would have been perfect for households who want just one iTunes bill, one master account, but multiple IDs associated with it.
Alas, Apple now says that's not going to happen...
Newsstand is a pre-made folder that provides iOS 5 users with an easy way to access digital subscriptions. But it's a bit annoying for the folks who don't use it, as its icon can't be placed in other folders. Luckily, there's a workaround.
There's a nice little tidbit floating around the web from The Coding Massacre regarding Newsstand. As it turns out, there's a small glitch in iOS that allows you to place the icon in a folder without the need to jailbreak...
Apple officially released iOS 5 yesterday, with several new features including, iCloud, iMessage, Notification Center, Reminders, Newsstand, Twitter integration, and much more. Since the release of the new iOS update, Apple servers have been getting smashed with the amount of people trying to download and install the new OS.
While many of you have reported troubles with updating to the new OS, we'd like to see just how many of you have upgraded, or haven't upgraded...
Apple seeded the public version of iOS 5 earlier today, adding over 200 new features to its mobile OS. The Cupertino company gave a preview of the software back in June, and now it has given everyone the chance to check it out.
Among the several additions to iOS, one of the most prominent is the new iMessaging system. The cross-device messaging client can be used by any product running iOS 5. So how does it work? Hit the jump for a full breakdown...
My iOS 5 iTunes download has been stuck on 4 minutes remaining for about 15 minutes now, with no signs of budging. Thankfully, the direct download firmware links are usually a lot faster than going through iTunes itself.
Head over to our downloads page for direct downloads for every supported iOS 5 device...
Apple today made iOS 5 available to the public, with the update now being pushed out via iTunes for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
The update, first previewed back in June, has seen 7 betas seeded to iOS developers, as well as the final GM release after last week's "Let's Talk iPhone" event.
Offering more changes than we care to list (we've already done that once), this is the biggest revamp of iOS to date...
Back when Apple first announced iCloud, and the subsequent beta, one of the new features to make the biggest splash was iTunes in the Cloud. Up until that point, if an iTunes customer bought a song and deleted it they were stuck with no option but to either call Apple support and try to sweet talk them into issuing a refund or replacement track, or to simply stump up the cash all over again.
With iTunes in the Cloud, that was no-longer the case. Now, a new Purchased section in iTunes lists all bought music as well as apps and books, and the world is a better place for it.
Unfortunately, while books and apps found their way outside the US, music did not. Until now...
We're afraid it's not all good news today. With the entire iPhone, iPad and iPod touch-owning public eagerly awaiting the public release of iOS 5, all is not rosy on the iOS front, especially if you happen to be a proud owner of the first-generation iPad.
If you've grown comfortable with the multi-touch gestures Apple added earlier this year to the iPad, you're going to be in for a shock when your iPad restarts after installing iOS 5, for those same gestures will be gone. Lost forever...
Apple is finally releasing iOS 5.0 and iCloud to the public tomorrow. Both products was initially previewed to developers at Apple's WWDC conference this past June.
After 7 consecutive developer betas, iOS 5 reached its final Gold Master version on October 4th. The public version drops tomorrow with iCloud. It's time to get ready...
