Alongside pre-orders for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, Apple opened up pre-orders for the new iPad Air today. [...] Availability for the iPad Air will begin next Friday, October 23rd.
Apple has confirmed to The Verge that an upcoming software update will let the speaker output Dolby Atmos audio as well as 5.1 and 7.1 channel audio from Apple’s streaming box. The feature will work best when you have two HomePod speakers paired up, but also works with just one. The new $99 HomePod mini, though, will not support the new home cinema functionality.
Sure, the HomePod mini will probably sound good — given that it’s a $99 speaker going up against the likes of the new Nest Audio and fourth-generation Echo, it has to. And having more avenues to push its subscription services to customers is a nice benefit for Apple. But its real potential lies in serving as the cheapest gateway yet to Apple’s smart home setup.
That same slogan is at the heart of Verizon’s marketing campaign for mmWave 5G on iPhone 12, as this latest ad featuring comedian Chris Rock demonstrates.
If the ice is indeed too thin, Appaqaq will grab his phone and open an app called SIKU — which means “sea ice” in Inuktitut — and upload a photo of the thin ice to alert other hunters of hazardous ice conditions.
In a changing Arctic, apps like SIKU can provide new tools for both real-time monitoring and long-term data gathering to give communities the ability to notice trends and plan for the future.
Tempo is a popular iPhone and Apple Watch app that collects in-depth data from your workouts to help runners train better. Developers behind the app today released Tempo 3 on the App Store, which features a new design, multiple iOS 14 widgets, new workout details, and much more.
Like other streaming platforms on watchOS, the YouTube Music app is basically a remote for the full app on an iPhone. It allows users to perform basic functionality like control playback and browse their libraries.
Nanoleaf is adding to its smart light lineup with the announcement of Shapes Triangles and Mini Triangles that include support for Apple's HomeKit platform.
Honda this week introduced the 2021 Accord with upgraded styling and tech features, including wireless CarPlay and Android Auto integration on the higher-end EX-L and Touring trims, accessible through an 8-inch touchscreen display.
Announced in a post to Apple's developer website, the change gives developers more time to advertise and collect pre-order metrics ahead of wide release.
That’s why email must evolve into something more up-to-date and more streamlined. The constant stress of jumping between chat apps, project management apps, shared docs, and even your calendar is taking its toll. What we need is a solution that enhances the way we communicate and collaborate rather than hinders it, a solution that reimagines what email would look like if it was built today.
"Certainly the scrutiny is important," Gates said during a Thursday interview at the GeekWire Summit on Thursday. "These companies are shaping communications, commerce — and the politicians have to think of, 'Okay, what are the rules there?' I think it's kind of unfortunate that they're grouping the companies together, because there are so many different issues."
One of the significant advantage the iPod had over its competitors, especially during the earlier days, was that iPod had a much larger screen to manipulate stuff.
No, I am not referring to the little screen on the little iPods. Instead, because of the iPod's tight integration with iTunes, the iPod can have all sorts of smarts that can be easily configured in iTunes. Many of iPod's competitors have all sorts of lousy user-interface that are stuck on the devices themselves, with tiny screens, and tiny buttons. Rearranging songs in a playlist, or creating smart playlists, or adding all sorts of media: all these are so much easier to do in iTunes.
All I am saying is this: Apple should build a HomePod app on iOS. Don't just rely on Siri.
