The Apple Watch is getting an impressive boost with watchOS 6, which Apple recently announced at this year's WWDC keynote. That goes beyond new watch faces, though. Apple is also introducing one of the most oft-requested features for its smartwatch: the App Store.
macOS Catalina is the next big update for Apple's desktop operating system. The company is adding quite a bit to the new software, and it isn't forgetting about the stock Mail app, either. While the list of changes isn't all that long, the new additions will probably be welcomed for those who prefer Apple's email app.
It's not uncommon to hear that Apple has acquired a company, especially when it comes to start-ups that Apple may be interested in. In most of those cases, Apple has a canned response that basically confirms an acquisition without actually coming out and saying it. That hasn't happened this time, though, as a new rumor crops up suggesting Apple has bought a self-driving startup.
While Apple launched a second-generation truly wireless AirPods model earlier this year, the company didn't completely forget about the earphones at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference. Quite the opposite, actually, as Apple announced a pair of new features for AirPods coming along with iOS 13.
As is par for the course, Apple announced a ton of new features that will be coming along with brand new versions of its various operating systems. And while the company takes time on stage during the WWDC keynote to go over many details, not everything can be covered with the time allowed. But that's why Apple executives are more than willing to shed some details after the keynote.
Apple is making some big changes to macOS in the coming update, named Catalina. Perhaps none are as big as the break up of iTunes, which effectively gets separated into three separate apps: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV. In an effort to clarify what's actually changing, and what might not be, the company has a new dedicated page to tackle the issue.
Apple didn't miss a chance to help spice up its Apple Watch lineup, offering up new watch faces along with plenty of new features tied to watchOS 6 and its public launch later this year after the big WWDC unveil.
Apple on June 3, 2019 released developer betas of the new iOS 13 and iPadOS software. You're advised to avoid deploying the betas onto your daily drivers, but if you do happen to have a spare iOS device laying around somewhere - or you're the type who prefers to live on the bleeding edge of technology - follow the instructions in our step-by-step guide to learn how to download and install the iOS 13 beta on your iPhone and the beta of iPadOS 13 on your iPad.
One of the major new announcements at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference was the unveiling of a brand new operating system: iPadOS. This is built upon the bedrock of iOS, but Apple sees plenty of room for the iPad to really differentiate itself in the years to come. To help with that, a new OS was launched.
Apple made some drastic changes to iTunes with the unveiling of macOS Catalina, effectively ditching the legacy software in favor of standalone Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV apps. But considering how many people still sync their device(s) with a cable, Apple had to make sure not to ditch this particular feature altogether. So instead, it's just been tweaked a bit.
Using Siri to control music playback, or other media controls depending on the first-party app, is pretty helpful. However, if your app of choice is a third-party option like Spotify, then using Siri to handle playback controls isn't an option. But it looks like that can change in iOS 13.
It was only yesterday that Apple unveiled macOS 10.15 Catalina and launched the first developer beta, and it didn’t take long for beta testers to report that Saurik’s Cydia Impactor tool wouldn’t open on the newfangled macOS operating system due to its 32-bit nature.
Fortunately, this is no longer an issue. Saurik has updated Cydia Impactor on Tuesday with 64-bit support, which as you might come to expect, makes the popular side-loading software fully-compatible with Apple’s upcoming macOS Catalina update.
