iOS Dark Mode

iOS 13 long awaited “dark mode” was revealed at WWDC which turns the user interface into white text on a black background & we must say it simple looks gorgeous with the true tone retina HD display from Apple

Apple Social Login

Apple also introduced a new Apple social login, which works in a similar way to that used by Google and Facebook but “without all the tracking”. Users can hide their email addresses from apps, using Apple’s random email address generator, which creates unique addresses that forward emails to your real address.

The developer beta of iOS 13 is available now, with a public beta available in July. A final release is expected in the autumn.

iPad Finally Desktop Class

Apple has now introduced a new iPad OS dedicated to harness the true power of iPads.

Flash drive and memory card support has been finally added to the Files app, as well as direct camera import into apps such as Adobe’s Lightroom.
Apple is also adding desktop-class browsing to Safari on the iPad, which automatically sizes true desktop sites to the screen and makes them touch-friendly, instead of sticking users with a blown-up mobile site.

Immediate changes are tighter home screen app grids, the ability to pin widgets on the home screen, and new copy and paste gestures – three-finger pinch to copy, spread to paste and swipe to undo.

Most of the changes are to make the iPad more like a desktop computer, particularly Apple’s large iPad Pro. The app expose function is now on the iPad, similar to the Mac, multi-window compatibility has been enabled for placing two Word documents or similar side-by-side, and multiple slide-over apps can be stacked and switched between via swipes. There are also 30 new keyboard shortcuts. iPad can also be used as a dual monitor for your Mac which sounds uber cool.

The developer beta of iPad OS is available now, with a public beta available in July. A final release is expected in the autumn.

Fans have been trolling Apple for the 999$ Monitor Stand, Pricey Apple Game at it as always 😉

Featuring iPhone XS | iPhone XS Max | iPhone XR

Apple just released the new iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max & iPhone XR. Worth your kidneys? iPhone XS starts at 999$, iPhone XS Max 1099$ & iPhone XR 749$ in US.

Apple just announced the iPhone XS and XS Max. They’re iterations on last year’s iPhone X, but the XS Max at least stands out in one very notable way: it’s so much larger. The Max has a 6.5-inch screen, making it a bigger phone than even the latest model in Samsung’s famously large Galaxy Note line.

Both phones have identical specs aside from their screens. They use Apple’s new A12 Bionic processor, which is supposed to be 15 percent faster than the A11, have improved water resistance that’s supposed to let them stay submerged in two meters of water for up to 30 minutes, and have support for two SIMs and gigabit LTE. The rear cameras have each seen improvements to make them faster (larger pixels on the wide-angle lens, a wider aperture on the telephoto lens), and the selfie camera is supposed to be faster as well (though not for any immediate spec-related reason).

More than anything else, the most impressive tech demo this year is the new portrait mode feature, which allows you to adjust the bokeh after the shoot. It’s just fun to slide the dial left and right to get the exact right amount of blur.

The real difference comes down to both phones’ displays, though that’s just in terms of size and resolution. The XS has the same 5.8-inch size, OLED tech, and 2436 x 1125 resolution as the iPhone X, though it’s also supposed to have 60 percent greater dynamic range for more vibrant images. The XS Max takes the OLED screen and dynamic range gains and brings them to a 6.5-inch size, with a 2688 x 1242 resolution. Both have the same 458 ppi pixel density, so you don’t lose out on sharpness by going larger.

Apple Spaceship Campus

Steve Jobs had a vision in 2013 to build the best office in the world for #Apple & now this campus in near completion in Cupertino. Apple is expected to move in to their new headquarters in 2017.

Apple is planning to use 100 % renewable energy in this new building, & have designed it to utilize a combination of solar & fuel cell technology to meet its energy demands. Apple is planning to distribute the additional electricity generated to the national grid.

This building will be directly connected to underground express highways to enable efficient transport for Apple staff, we can bet that even aliens would be amazed to see this design if they confuse this as a spaceship.

Steve Jobs vision depicted in the video below:

Current progress:
Apple has made quite a lot of progress on its under construction “Campus 2” set to become the company’s new headquarters when complete around the end of the year. Since last checking in a month ago, a video update published today by Matthew Roberts for June shows continued progress on the roof of the main circular spaceship building, including a look at the heating and cooling systems installed throughout, and what looks to be some new outdoor areas surrounding the entrance of the underground theatre.

iPhone 7 – Top 10 Rumours

Well as always leaked images & rumours for iPhone 7 have started surfacing, this video rounds up all the expected features in the new iPhone 7. It is expected to launch in 2016, bringing in a new design and new features.

Expected Features:
1. Thinner design but similar to iPhone 6s
The iPhone 7 is expected to be thinner than the iPhone 6s, with Apple using the elimination of the headphone jack, advances in chip packing technology, and a slimmer Lightning port to cut down on the thickness of the device. Rumors suggest the iPhone 7 will be between 6.0mm and 6.5mm. Apple’s current iPod touch, one of its thinnest devices, measures in at 6.1mm, compared to 7.1mm for the iPhone 6s and 7.3mm for the iPhone 6s Plus.

2. Better 12 mpx camera with sharper focus.

3. Dual-lens camera for iPhone 7 Plus:
iPhone-7-Dual-Camera-800x450
Apple is rumoured to be working on at least one version of the iPhone 7 Plus that includes a a 12-megapixel dual-lens camera system that takes advantage of technology Apple acquired through the purchase of Israeli camera company LinX Imaging last year. Image quality in the iPhone 7 Plus could be greatly improved with the introduction of a dual-lens system, narrowing the gap between photos taken with the iPhone and those taken with a more robust DSLR cameras.

Dual Lens concept is also evident from the leaked iPhone 7 case

4. No headphone jack, high quality audio via lightning connector
Apple may be able to decrease the thickness of the iPhone 7 by eliminating the headphone jack and instead adopting an all-in-one Lightning port that will support both charging and music playback with Lightning-equipped headphones.
With the iPhone 7, headphones will need a Lightning connector or a 3.5mm jack-to-Lightning adapter to connect to the Lightning port on the bottom of the phone. The device will also support wireless Bluetooth headphones.

5. Wireless Charging
With the Lightning port being used for music playback, there will be no way to charge the iPhone 7 while headphones are plugged in, which has sparked some speculation about wireless charging. According to one rumor, Apple is exploring wireless charging technology that could potentially be included in the iPhone 7.

While Apple is said to be looking into wireless charging for the iPhone 7, there is no guarantee the feature will make it into the finished product. It is also not clear what method Apple would use to implement wireless charging.

6. Fast Charging

7. Faster A10 or Intel processor

8. AirPods: Bluetooth Headphones

9. RAM
According to another prediction from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus may have differing amounts of RAM. The smaller 4.7-inch iPhone 7 may ship with 2GB of RAM, while the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus may ship with 3GB RAM.

10. No waterproofing.

Apple Ditching the Headphone Jack in iPhone 7

iPhone SE Hands on

All the iPhone 5 or 5S owners finally have a good news!! They can still claim to have the latest iPhone SE in the market as it looks exactly the same.

Apple is targeting the low price markets with this phone and it was important to update the 3 year old iPhone to the latest market standards. 12 megapixel camera, Live Photos but still 16GB for 400$ that sounds like 3 years old too btw 😉

We would rather wait for 6 more months to get our hands on the newly re-designed iPhone 7, check out the rumors in the links below.

Apple Wireless Charging

#FirstCrush Apple apparently wants to help you charge your iPhone no matter where you are in your home. A new report suggests that it’s building a new wireless charging technology that wouldn’t require direct contact with a power mat.

Bloomberg reports that Apple “is exploring cutting-edge technologies that would allow iPhones and iPads to be powered from further away than the charging mats used with current smartphones.”

The idea is not a new one. Earlier this month, Ossia showed off a system that allows an iPhone to be charged in mid-air. It works by using an antenna that can capture energy held in radio frequency waves floating through the air that are carefully directed from a central hub.

It’s not an easy challenge, for a number of reasons. The technology required to capture enough energy is, for Ossia at least, rather bulky. And as Bloomberg points out, “efficiency of power transfer decreases as the distance between transmitter and receiver grows.” If Apple is trying to build a sleek phone, those two issues create a compounded problem where it’s difficult to charge a battery quickly.

Indeed, Bloomberg claims that Apple “is looking to overcome technical barriers.” No kidding. In fact, it’s likely been working on wireless charging for years by this points. Whether we’ll see in the next iPhone, or the one after that? We’ll have to wait and see.
