Amazon today pushed out an update to its Kindle app for iOS and Android, adding support for comics, children's books and graphic novels, also introducing a slight interface redesign that forgoes previous buttons to set fonts sizes, search for terms and more with a more subdued and toned down toolbars that slide in and out of the view...
Although this has been announced in the WWDC keynote, we are beginning to receive reports that Siri in iOS 6 Beta is now able to find places internationally, at least in certain countries and with limited precision. By the way, jailbreakers can get this functionality by way of an AssistantExtensions plugin called International Locations...
In what could only be called a major agreement, the dominant Chinese search engine Baidu will share its search revenue with Apple for making it the default choice for Chinese iPhone users, it's been confirmed.
Though Baidu also shares revenue with Google on Android handsets that use its search engine, strong sales of Apple's devices in the 1.33 billion people market are bound to maximize opportunities for both companies...
Today's a particularly bad day for Apple's legal sharks. Just as we learned that Apple won't be able to stop June 21 launch of Samsung's Galaxy S III in the U.S. as it hoped it would, Reuters now reports that Apple also failed to fend off the high-profile iPhone tracking lawsuit. Though a federal judge ruled against Apple, he conspicuously let the likes of Google, AdMarval, AdMob, Flurry and Medialets off the hook...
In addition to sourcing maps data in iOS 6 from fifteen different companies, Apple also allows traffic routing apps from third-parties to lend their services to the entire system by way of new APIs.
And since Apple's Maps app knows about routing apps in the App Store, it'll give users a choice to download them when needed. This is making good on Apple's promise that it will partner with third-party developers on Maps transit directions "where it makes sense"...
Those who run WordPress blogs probably use the mobile web interface as the official app is a mess.
Unfortunately, media uploads on websites are not supported in iOS 5, which makes it tough to add images to your posts on the go.
It's not just WordPress, Safari in iOS simply doesn't support media uploads. Luckily, beginning with iOS 6, Safari will finally deal with common HTML elements that web pages use to bring up the standard file browsing dialogue...
Brace yourselves, another gem has been discovered among the changes in iOS 6. It seems that after two years of neglect, the operating system's shutdown spinner has finally received the Retina treatment.
Now, in most cases, the resolution of a shutdown graphic isn't anything to fuss about. But for a company like Apple, who is known for its attention to detail, the upgraded icon is somewhat noteworthy...
T-Mobile may be the only major carrier in the U.S. that doesn't officially offer the iPhone, but you wouldn't know that by watching its PR departement. The company continues to find its way into Apple news.
Earlier this year, the operator announced that it was going to be launching an iPhone-friendly network by the end of 2012. Last week it confirmed it would be showing off that network at WWDC. And now...
For a company known for its secrecy regarding unannounced products, there sure seems to be a lot of information floating around about Apple's next smartphone. We've seen schematics, back covers, and now this.
A set of pictures surfaced on the web this morning have gotten a lot of folks buzzing with excitement. Relax, these are just renders, but quite believable. The images depict a device which matches up with the recently leaked next-generation iPhone parts...
When Apple announced that iOS 6, the latest version of its mobile OS, would work with older devices all of the way back to the iPhone 3GS, people cheered. It's not typical these days for major software updates to support 3 year-old products.
But don't give Tim Cook and company the Nobel Peace Prize just yet. Some two-year old devices, like the original iPad, aren't getting any iOS 6 love. And even the ones that are supported aren't guaranteed to have access to all of its features...
Apple really stick it to Google by supplanting Google Maps in iOS 6 with in-house mapping service, didn't it? But more than anything, yesterday's WWDC keynote has proven that Apple is just as merciless without Steve Jobs.
As both tech giants fight tooth and nail for mindshare, Cupertino is now adamant to go thermonuclear on everything Google, not just Maps.
The iPhone maker demonstrated its incredible agility and willingness to fight Google on multiple dimensions yesterday. To that extent, iOS 6 could be viewed as the biggest step yet in the de-Googlification of iOS.
Here's why...
During its WWDC keynote yesterday, Apple announced that the latest version of their mobile operating system, iOS 6, would finally include the ability to make FaceTime calls over cellular networks.
Considering that this feature has been restricted to Wi-Fi connections since it was introduced in 2010, this was a pretty big deal. But it could end up causing major problems for capped data users...
