iOS 7 is a fairly significant change from its predecessors looks wise, but many of the functional elements of the OS are still the same. For instance, the initial setup wizard looks different, but the basic premise and much of the options and settings are much the same as they were on previous iterations of iOS. Check inside, as I walk you through the initial first boot setup process on video.
Yesterday, we highlighted Apple's mission-statement ad that deals with its famous signature, 'Designed by Apple in California'.
Today, the company has made WWDC commercials available on its YouTube page, among them a minute and 30 seconds long clip.
The video is titled 'Designed by Apple - Intention' and Apple used it to open the WWDC keynote. In it, the company explains how it goes about designing its products so it's definitely worth a watch from start to finish...
As we continue to dig through all of the new features and UI changes in iOS 7, we've come across a minor, yet interesting, detail. It looks like the Clock app icon now displays the correct time, and has an animated second hand.
At least, in all of Apple's screen shots it shows the correct time. Notice in the image above how the time on the Clock icon matches up with the time in the status bar. But I can't for the life of me get it to work on my iPhone 4S...
Folks who missed Apple's WWDC keynote this morning, or would just like to watch it again, will be happy to hear that Apple has just posted the full video online for your streaming pleasure. Obviously, you can read everything you need to know about today's event right here on iDB. But if you have the time, the video is definitely worth watching...
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...
Apple executives on several occasions during the just-finished WWDC keynote made note of both the fact that the new Mac Pro is being built in the United States and that the redesigned iOS 7 software and other apps are being conceived, designed and implemented by its team of engineers in California.
In fact, Apple's been proudly putting stickers on its products saying 'Designed by Apple in California' for years and has now even made a compelling new ad which focuses in its California design roots...
Overview is a brand new jailbreak tweak that provides a Notification Center widget containing email, reminders and calendar events. All of these items can be viewed directly via Notification Center. As you'll see, it's a really awesome design and concept, and it's from the same developer that brought us Tap to Widgets: Alan Yip.
You can easily scroll through all of the events, reminders, and email via the Overview widget. By tapping and holding on any of the items, you'll be taken directly to that item's full app. For example, if you tap and hold on an email within the widget, you'll be taken directly to the individual email message within the Mail app.
I've been testing out Overview for a few days now, and I'm confident that you'll like what you find, especially if you liked Tap to Widgets. Want to see how it looks in motion? If so, check out my full video walkthrough after the break...
Cybernetic is a recently released jailbreak tweak that allows you to alter the way banner notifications work. For instance, if you tap on a banner, you can make the banner dismiss instead of opening the app associated with the notification.
If you're looking to change some of the options when it comes to banner notifications, then look no further than Cybernetic. Check inside for our hands-on video walkthrough.
Throwing its proverbial credibility behind a recent rumor of iOS 7 having native Flickr and Vimeo integration, the credulous Wall Street Journal has just published a write-up which asserts that Apple's upcoming iOS revision will feature photo-sharing enhancements alongside new look. iOS 7 will include "new ways to share photos and videos" with other users, people who are reportedly involved in its development said...
Lee Clow, the Chairman and Global Director of one of the world's leading ad agencies, TBWA\Worldwide (and also its former Chief Creative Officer) is something of a living legend in advertising circles.
Advertising Age likened him to "advertising's art director guru" and he was a personal friend of Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs. This is the guy who co-created Apple's 'Think Different' slogan, the iPod silhouettes ad series and the company's famous '1984' ad.
The '1984', as you know, is now widely regarded as one of the most memorable and successful American television commercials of all time.
In this video captured at the PTTOW! summit, Clow talks the challenges of branding Apple and reveals interesting tidbits about his productive 30-year relationship with Steve Jobs...
Folks looking forward to the upcoming 'Man of Steel' Superman flick will be happy to hear that Warner Bros has just posted the "official mobile game trailer" for its iOS/Android game of the same name.
The trailer is very entertaining, but it doesn't offer up much in terms of details. At a high level, it looks like your typical big budget super hero movie game, with high flying action and a good-vs-bad storyline...
Though they didn't like it at first, TV networks seem like they're finally coming around to the idea of taking their content mobile. Most major networks now have at least part of their programming lineup available, on demand, in their mobile apps.
But the folks over at Comedy Central have taken things to another level. The Viacom-owned station just released an app called CC: Stand-Up, and it includes over 6,000 videos from its vault of both amateur and high-profile stand-up comedy footage...
