Here’s How to Watch Apple’s iPhone 6 Event

By Josh Wolford at WebProNews:


The tech world turns to Cupertino today, as Apple is holding yet another September press event expected to showcase new hardware.

The event is scheduled to kick off at 1 pm EST (10 am PST) and Apple has chosen to put a stream online.

That’s the good news. The baddish news is that you can’t stream the event on Chrome or Firefox.

Instead, you’ll have to use Safari. Live streaming of today’s big event requires Safari 5.1.10 or later on OS X v10.6.8 or later, or Safari on iOS 6.0 or later.

You can also stream the event using the second or third generation Apple TV with software 6.2 or later.

Here’s where you should head.

What can you expect? Well, new iPhones for one. Apple is expected to unveil multiple sizes of the new iPhone 6, possibly in 4.7 and 5.5 inches. There’s also a lot of speculation surrounding Apple’s much-discussed wearable device (you may have heard it called the ‘iWatch’).

All will be revealed in a few hours, so you don’t have to sit there and speculate.

Ah, who am I kidding – it’s an Apple launch. Speculate away!

Bose Sues Beats Over Noise-Cancelling Patents

By Daisuki Wakabayashi at Wall Street Journal Digits Blog: 


Bose is suing Beats Electronics, the headphone and speaker maker that Apple agreed to acquire for $3 billion earlier this year, for infringing on patents related to its noise-cancelling technology.

Bose filed the lawsuit on Friday in U.S. District Court in Delaware, saying that Beats – known for its colorful and flashy headphones – had infringed on five of its patents pertaining to its noise-cancelling headphones. Bose also filed a complaint to the U.S. International Trade Commission, seeking to halt the sale and import of certain Beats products.

In the lawsuit, Bose asks for damages and an injunction against Beats.

“We are committed to protecting our investment, protecting our customers, and defending the patents we own,” a Bose spokeswoman said in a statement. Spokespeople for Beats and Apple declined to comment on the lawsuit.

The complaint doesn’t affect the closing of the Apple deal scheduled for September, according to one person familiar with the matter.

Apple Is Giving Access to OS X Yosemite Public Beta Tomorrow

By Nick Summers at TNW:


Apple will soon allow any Mac user to download the beta version of OS X Yosemite, the latest version of its desktop operating system.

To access Yosemite, you’ll need to head to the OS X Beta Program page and submit your details. As Engadget reports, only one million people will be accepted into the scheme, so if you’re interested sign up now.

By registering an email address, Apple says it will notify you shortly about the OS X Yosemite beta. The early preview should be available at around 1PM Eastern/10am Pacific tomorrow (July 24), meaning there’s just over 24 hours for you to sit and gaze longingly at these screenshots.

OS X Yosemite sports a flat design inspired by iOS 7, including a new dark theme and translucent layers for the Finder and Dock. There’s also an Alfred-style productivity and app launcher, iCloud Drive and ‘Continuity,’ which makes it easier to switch between your Mac and iOS devices.

Google Analytics Finally Gets an iPhone App

By Josh Wolford at WebProNews:  


In pretty big good lord, finally news, Google has released a native Google Analytics apps for iOS. Available in 39 languages, Google Analytics for iPhone promised to let you “access all of your Google Analytics web and app data from your mobile device, monitor recent changes with Real Time reports, and easily get your Analytics data anytime, anywhere.”

Considering Android has had a version of a Google Analytics apps for years, it’s high time that iOS was invited to the party.

The app is plain but functional, with an overview tab that shows real time visitors to pages, total audience visits and a location breakdown, traffic sources, and a pageview grid.

Apple, IBM in Deal to Create Apps, Sell Phones

Flashback 30 years and no one would have seen this coming: After decades as competitors, Apple and IBM announced a deal to work together to create simple-to-use business apps, and sell iPhones and iPads to IBM's corporate customers. WSJ's Niki Blasina reports.

The deal underscores Apple's push to expand the reach of the iPhone and iPad into the business world—beyond their traditional base among consumers. IBM, meanwhile, is hoping Apple's simplicity and popularity will help stem eight consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue declines, as it moves more of its business software onto the mobile devices used by employees.

The two companies said they hope to use the expertise of IBM's consultants and relationships with corporate customers to create business apps that offer the simplicity—a hallmark of Apple products—of today's consumer apps. The apps will draw on IBM computing services such as security, device management and big-data analytics.

Under the agreement, IBM's employees will provide on-site support and service of Apple products inside companies, similar to the AppleCare service that Apple sells to consumers. IBM said it planned to make more than 100,000 employees available to the Apple initiative. It is a rare partnership for Apple, which historically has avoided such alliances.

Apple Is Reportedly Planning Multiple Versions of iWatch

By Kaylene Hong at TNW:  


There have been plenty of rumors swirling around Apple’s smartwatch, commonly dubbed the iWatch, and now the Wall Street Journal reports that it will have a few designs with multiple screen sizes, and could launch as early as October this year. In particular, the smartwatch is said to feature more than 10 sensors, some of which are specific to health and fitness tracking.

Earlier this month, Apple announced HealthKit for iOS 8, which lets third-party apps store data for quick access and easy reading in one central place using the Health app. A sensor-equipped wearable device makes sense for its renewed push into the health sector right now.

The WSJ cites a component supplier as saying that Apple plans to ship between 10-15 million of its smartwatches by the end of this year.

Everything Apple announced at WWDC 2014 In One Handy List

By Natt Garun at The Next Web:


It’s a wrap! Here’s a handy recap of all the announcements Apple made at its Worldwide Developers Conference this year.


OS X Yosemite

Apple announced its latest version OS X Yosemite (OS X 10.10) which features the flat design first unveiled with iOS 7 last fall. Also new: a Dark Mode that changes the menu bar to a translucent black hue and new dock icons. Search via Spotlight now also integrate results from a variety of resources, such as the iTunes store and Apple Maps locations.

OS X Yosemite also features a slew updates to its Mail and Safari apps. Users can now send files up to 5GB in size via the Mail Drop feature, or mark up images straight in the app before sending them off. The Safari app boasts a redesign to its address bar, favorites and subscription tabs.

AirDrop also now works between iOS and OS X using its proximity awareness technology called Continuity. You can transfer documents between your iPhone and Mac, or receive caller ID on your Mac and even pick up the call or dial straight from the computer.

Apple also unveiled Family Sharing which allows up to six family members using the same credit card to access the same purchased item.


iCloud Drive

With OS X Yosemite comes Apple’s iCloud Drive, a cloud-based storage system that works from within the Finder. The documents also sync across other Mac computers and iOS devices. Windows users can access the files as well!


iOS 8

Like OS X Yosemite, iOS 8 brings updates to its Mail app which features a Mailbox-like swipe gestures, such as swipe far left to delete, right to mark as unread or swipe left to archive. The Spotlight suggestions feature also integrate results from Wikipedia entries, the App Store and iTunes, to name a few.

iOS 8 also includes quick actions to its push notifications, so you can respond straight from the lock screen or while you’re engaged in another app.

In the Messages update, users can opt to leave group conversations, set a ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode to halt notifications for various durations, share locations or send audio or video messages. If you receive an audio message, you can just raise the phone to your ear to listen to it straight from the lock screen. The audio and video messages self-destruct after two minutes, Snapchat-style.

The Photos app also has more advance editing tools, such as level adjustments and straightening, and edited images are available across all your devices via iCloud. This Photos feature will come to Macs early next year.

Lastly, in addition to new dictation languages, the Siri update now supports Shazam which will allow users to purchase recognized music through iTunes.

iOS 8 beta will be available to developers today, with a public release coming in the fall.


QuickType

Apple also introduced QuickType, a predictive typing technology that learns from your local device words you often type or context from previous messages to suggest words you’re about to type.


HealthKit

Apple officially gets in on the Quantified Self fitness game with HealthKit which collects your personal health data from various third party apps and keeps track of your daily activities. You can access the aggregated information through the Health app. Opt to share this information with Mayo Clinic and Health will alert your doctors if your conditions are unusually worrying.


HomeKit

Another trend Apple’s hopping on is smart home with HomeKit, an SDK that aggregates third party Internet of Things apps into one place. Users can use audio commands like “Get ready for bed,” and the app will make sure all the connected doors are locked and lights are off.


For developers

Of course, it’s not a developers conference without a little something from the coders out there. Apple announced that TestFlight will be available this fall for the Apple developer platform, finally allowing developers to beta-test their apps.


CloudKit

Apple announced a new developer framework called CloudKit to let developers build cloud-connected apps. This means Apple will now handle asset storage for free, though… “with limits.”


Metal

Apple also introduced a new 3D API that allows game developers to take advantage of Apple’s processing power and create beautiful, interactive 3D graphics. Apple says Metal will allow games to get “10x” faster draw rates. The company also announced additional iOS 8 gaming frameworks, such as SceneKit and SpriteKit.

Other APIs being made available to developers also include Cameras and TouchID. The latter will make TouchID integrated with third party apps, adding an extra layer of security.


Swift

Apple announced its own programming language called Swift which will replace Objective C. Apple claims Swift is faster than Objective C thought it can still work alongside the language, and works with Cocoa and Cocoa Touch.

Apple Confirms it's Buying Beats for $3 Billion

Apple has just confirmed plans to purchase Beats Electronics for $3 billion. The acquisition ranks as the largest that Apple has ever made and will see it take ownership of an enormously successful and profitable line of consumer headphones as well as a burgeoning subscription music service. Beats co-founders Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre will also join Apple as part of the acquisition, which it will pay for with $2.6 billion in cash and $400 million in stock.

Iovine and Dre will work with Apple on its future music offerings. "They’re going to be coming up with [features] that blow your mind," Apple CEO Tim Cook tells The New York Times, "and products you haven’t thought of yet, and seeing around the next corner to articulate the way to take music to an even higher level than it is now."

The two companies will remain separate and even continue to offer casually competing services, including iTunes Radio and the recently launched Beats Music subscription service. Apple says that Beats' focus on music is complementary to its own, though it hasn't gone into detail on how it'll manage or integrate this first big acquisition. Though this is a relatively huge purchase for Apple — which usually only buys smaller companies — the cost is far less meaningful to it thanks to its sizable stockpile of cash.

Apple Challenges Samsung to 'Copy' its Environmental Efforts

By Nick Summers at TNW:  


After launching a website and video detailing its environmental efforts, Apple has today followed up with a related newspaper advert that indirectly mocks its rival Samsung.

At the top of the page, the company has placed a huge headline that reads: “There are some ideas we want every company to copy.” While many firms are considered guilty of copying Apple’s software and hardware innovations, the timing of the advert clearly points to its ongoing patent trial with Samsung.

Apple ad on back cover of this morning's Metro: 'There are some ideas we want every company to copy'. pic.twitter.com/RNbgBNtjHZ
— David McClelland (@DavidMcClelland) April 22, 2014

As MacRumors reports, two paragraphs follow underneath:

“There’s one area where we actually encourage others to imitate us. Because when everyone makes the environment a priority, we all benefit. We’d be more than happy to see every data centre fuelled by 100% renewable energy sources. And we eagerly await the day when every product is made without the harmful toxins we have removed from ours.

Of course we know we can continue to do better. We’ve set some pretty ambitious goals for reducing our impact on climate change, making our products with greener materials and conserving our planet’s limited resources. So the next time we come across a great idea that can help leave the world better than we found it, we look forward to sharing it.”

In particular, the opening line is a shot across the bow for Samsung and other technology companies accused of mimicking its products. Today is also Earth Day, an annual event that celebrates environmental awareness, which explains the timing of today’s advert and the materials Apple released yesterday.

Apple Partnering With Shazam to Integrate Song-ID features

By Trevor Mogg at Digital Trends: 


Apple and song-ID service Shazam have struck a deal that could see elements of the popular cross-platform music app brought to a future version of iOS, sources with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg Wednesday.

As anyone familiar with Shazam knows, the software allows users to quickly identify a music track simply by holding a mobile device’s mic close to the sound source and waiting a few seconds for the result to return.

It’s not entirely clear if the app itself would be baked into iOS or if its technology would be incorporated into Apple’s mobile operating system in other ways. For example, Bloomberg’s report talks of a song-discovery “feature” being integrated into iOS, while also suggesting it could be incorporated in the same way as the Twitter app, which has been baked into the operating system of iDevices since version 5.

The report also says Shazam is likely to be integrated with Siri, allowing a user to ask, “What song is playing?”, in which case everyone within a five-meter radius will also discover the name of the music track you wanted to ID. Google Now for Android has long had a voice-activated song-ID tool, while Microsoft’s new virtual assistant for Windows Phone, Cortana, also offers a similar feature, so many will see Apple’s entry into the space as long overdue.

Yahoo Wants To Become The Default Search Engine On iOS

By Trevor Mogg at Digital Trends:  


Marissa Mayer has been working diligently to revive the fortunes of Web firm Yahoo since taking the reins back in July 2012, though the enormity of the task means the challenge is far from over.

Decisions have included hiring hundreds of engineers to help bolster Yahoo’s gargantuan site and its slew of services; making a ton of acquisitions, such as Tumblr, which has given Yahoo access to a younger generation of users; and making a commitment to mobile, a growing sector of the market where it needs to establish itself in order to take on the likes of Google and Facebook, who currently dominate when it comes to revenue from mobile ads.

According to a Re/code report Wednesday, part of Mayer’s plan to make the company’s presence felt in the mobile space involves trying to convince Apple to replace Google with Yahoo as the default search engine on all of those iDevices out there.

Speaking to unnamed insiders at Yahoo, the report says Mayer has prepped a detailed pitch that she hopes will be enough to persuade Apple executives to take a serious look at her proposition and ultimately make Yahoo the default search service on the Cupertino company’s mobile phones and tablets.

No official meeting has yet taken place between the two companies, though Mayer has reportedly talked with some Apple executives about the idea, including long-time friend Jony Ive.


Trying to ‘grab the pole position in iOS search’

“This is the aim of the whole effort here, to grab the pole position in iOS search,” an unnamed source told Re/code, adding that it’s currently one of Mayer’s main goals.

That the Yahoo boss might get her way is not impossible. After all, Yahoo already provides the data for the weather and finance apps on iOS devices. In addition, Apple had few qualms about getting rid of Google Maps as its default mapping app, though admittedly the company replaced that one with its own equivalent app (sort of).

However, when it comes to search, Google remains the go-to service for Web users across most platforms, so Apple would be understandably wary about suddenly switching to Yahoo. Service quality would be a concern, too, with one of Re/code’s sources questioning whether Yahoo has adequate technology yet to power an effective and efficient mobile search product.

Oh, and there’s also the small matter of the annual $1 billion payment that the Mountain View company currently hands over to Apple for keeping its search engine as the default option on iOS devices.

Of course, iOS users can switch search engines by going into settings, but considering many just go with the default service, Yahoo’s apparent plan to get its offering front and center on millions of Apple devices is perfectly understandable. Whether it can achieve this is another matter entirely.

Internal Doc: Samsung’s Top Priority Was “Beating Apple,”

By Jacob Kleinman at TechnoBuffalo: 

Apple has accused Samsung of blatantly ripping off the iPhone with its own line of Galaxy S devices, and an internal document from the South Korea giant may help support Cupertino’s latest claims as the two companies duke it out in court again this month. The document leaked online today, reveals Samsung’s sales strategy, putting a clear focus on predicting and outselling Apple’s iPhone.

The internal document, which comes from 2012, makes it clear Samsung sees Apple as its main competitor. “Beating Apple is #1 priority,” reads the outline, “everything must be [in the] context of beating Apple.” The document goes on to discuss Apple’s strategy for the iPhone 5, predicting the device would launch in June 2012 with improved software. The “threat from Apple is extremely real and urgent,” Samsung notes.

The company goes on to outline plans for promoting its own line of smartphones by focusing all its devices around the “Galaxy” brand. Samsung’s sales strategy included non-stop marketing, carrier partnership, and understanding “why consumers buy Apple” with the goal of developing countermeasures.

Samsung’s internal document clearly confirms it was keeping a close eye on Apple, but doesn’t prove the company ever released an iPhone knockoff. It’s possible this single page isn’t the full document Apple’s lawyers plan to submit in court. Still, it’s definitely a good start in proving that Samsung’s smartphone strategy was focused on dethroning Apple by any means necessary.

Office for iPad is Here, Free For iPhone & Android

By Emil Protalinski at TNW: 


At an event in San Francisco today, Microsoft Office General Manager Julia White unveiled Office for iPad, featuring Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The new apps, which supports viewing but not editing for free, will go live in Apple’s App Store at 11:00AM PDT (2:00PM EST).

You can download them now right here: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Also, today wasn’t just about the iPad: Office for iPhone and Android phones is now completely free, Android tablet version coming ‘in the future’.

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint all have a ribbon interface just like the one in Office for Windows and OS X. The trio of apps are much more powerful on the tablet than the smartphone, but naturally don’t compare to the desktop versions.

Apple, Google And Yahoo Also Can Read Your Emails

By Zach Epstein at BGR:


People concerned with online privacy had a field day last week when it was discovered that Microsoft accessed a French blogger’s Hotmail account and read his emails in order to assess his involvement with an alleged theft of Windows trade secrets. As numerous reports pointed out, Microsoft’s Hotmail and Outlook.com terms give the company the right to access and read users’ emails, and bloggers lashed out at Microsoft as a result. As it turns out, however, Microsoft isn’t the only tech giant that reserves the right to read your private correspondence.

Alex Hern at The Guardian took the time to actually read the terms we all agree to when we sign up for the various email services offered by big tech companies. Not surprisingly, he found that Apple, Google and Yahoo each include items in their terms of service that give them the right to access and read users’ emails.

As Hern noted, Google’s terms for Gmail require users to ”acknowledge and agree that Google may access… your account information and any Content associated with that account… in a good faith belief that such access… is reasonably necessary to… protect against imminent harm to the… property… of Google.”

Similarly, regarding iCloud email Apple’s terms say that it ”may, without liability to you, access… your Account information and Content… if we have a good faith belief that such access… is reasonably necessary to… protect the… property… of Apple,” Hern noted, adding that Yahoo mail can also be accessed by Yahoo according to the service’s terms.

Apple Talking About iTunes For Android and a Spotify Killer

By Megan Rose at Business Insider:

Apple is thinking about launching an iTunes app for Android, as well as an on-demand streaming service similar to Spotify, Billboard reports.

This is likely because downloads of music from iTunes are in decline as more and more people transitioning to streaming music services like Pandora, Spotify, Beats Music, and Rdio.

Thanks to those streaming services, the music industry was able to sustain revenues of $7 billion, nearly the same as it has been since 2009, the RIAA says. It's neither growing nor shrinking at this point.

Digital downloads still brought in the most revenue to the music industry, but a 1% decline to $2.4 billion suggests that people are moving away from purchasing music and moving toward streaming services.

That's why it's no wonder Apple launched iTunes Radio, a streaming version of iTunes that competes directly with Pandora. Apple is reportedly working on a standalone app for iTunes Radio so that it can better target Pandora.

New Samsung Ad Burns the Kindle, Surface and iPad

By T.L Stanley at Mashable:

Oh, you poor Luddite, with your keyboard, battery dock and mouse. You call that a tablet? It’s positively Neanderthal. And that iPad? Why can’t it do two things at once? Let’s not even get started on the Kindle, because that dinosaur only lets you read books.


That’s the tart, smug and rather effective message in a new ad that will air on national television for Samsung's Galaxy Tab Pro on March 19. The spot not only shows the souped-up tablet's capabilities (multitask, mainly), but also casts aspersions on other leading devices on the market.

The commercial, which advertises a trio of new Galaxy Pro tablets, comes from agency McKinney. It continues the finger-wagging at competitors for having bulkier products with lower-quality visuals, a quality present in its previous ads. Its tagline: "It can do that?"

People who use lesser gadgets will have to defend them, the ad says, but not without being the target of colleagues' withering stares. Even if your device has the “retina thingy,” it’s still a hunk of junk — according the patronizing looks from folks in the ad.

5 Fantastic iOS 7.1 Features You Have to Try Right Now

By Zach Epstein at BGR:

Apple’s new iOS 7.1 software was released earlier this week, and it brought with it a wide range of fixes, improvements and new features for compatible iPhones, iPads and iPod touch handhelds.

Sharon Vaknin at CNET has compiled a quick list of four must-try new features in iOS 7, and we have added a fifth that will definitely be appreciated by many users.


Kill parallax, keep the zoom

First up, Apple finally made it possible in iOS 7.1 to disable the annoying parallax wallpaper effect without eliminating the great zooming transition animations when opening and closing apps.

To do this, first ensure that “Reduce Motion” is toggled off in Settings > General > Accessibility. Then go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness and tap your lock screen wallpaper. Toggle “Perspective Zoom” to off and tap set, then do the same thing for your home screen wallpaper.

It’s as easy as that.



Teach Siri some manners

iOS 7.1 includes a number of enhancements to Apple’s virtual personal assistant Siri.

They’re all appreciated to some extent, but CNET has compiled a collection of terrific advice on how to make sure Siri is always working for you instead of against you.



Bring back the buttons

One of many complaints people had about iOS 7 compared to earlier versions of Apple’s mobile software was the fact that the tap targets in this new minimalistic OS were very confusing.

With iOS 7.1, however, users can now add button shapes to the software’s text-only tap targets.

Adding button shapes is simple. Just go to Settings > General > Accessibility and toggle “Button Shapes” to on.



Enable HDR Auto

iOS 7 had an awful bug that caused devices to constantly disable HDR each time the camera app was closed. In iOS 7.1, Apple repented for its annoying mistake by introducing a new “HDR Auto” setting on the iPhone 5s that will monitor the surrounding lighting conditions and enable or disable HDR automatically.

To enable this great new feature, simply tap “HDR On” or “HDR Off” at the top of the screen with the camera open. Then select “HDR Auto” and you’ll never have to think about it again.



New visibility options

Apple’s iOS platform is a clear leader when it comes to accessibility options for the disabled. There is no close second. For those with relatively minor vision problems though, some accessibility features in iOS 7 were a bit drastic.

In iOS 7.1, Apple has addressed one such issue by adding new fine-tuned options for increasing the contrast on the screen of your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and tap “Increase Contrast.” You’ll now find three separate options in iOS 7.1.

“Reduce Transparency” will remove all of the transparency effects in areas including the home screen dock, folder backgrounds, the Control Center and the Notification Center.

“Darken Colors” will do just that: Darken all of the colors on the device’s display to make them more visible.

Finally, “Reduce White Point” will make whites on the screen less bright, which is another way to improve visibility.

US Market: Apple 41.6%, Samsung 26.7%, Android Down

Apple’s dominance as the top smartphone OEM in the US has started off strong in the first month of this year: 41.6 percent share. Samsung is once again gaining share faster than its main competitor, however, hitting a new high at 26.7 percent. Rounding out the top five were LG, Motorola, and HTC.

In the platform wars, Google was still first with Android, and Apple took second with iOS. Yet Google’s mobile platform slipped at the start of the year, while Apple’s continued to plow forward. Rounding out the top five were Microsoft (which managed to sneak into third place), BlackBerry, and Symbian.

The latest data comes from comScore, which regularly surveys over 30,000 mobile subscribers in the US. The market research firm says 159.8 million Americans owned smartphones (66.8 percent mobile market penetration) in January, up 7 percent since October.

During the quarter, here is how the top five smartphones OEMs fared:

On the software side, Google is still dominating, even with Apple’s steady gains. Android lost share most months in 2013, and 2014 isn’t off to a good start:
