Does the iPhone’s future depend on an iOS overhaul at WWDC 2016?

Posted on June 11, 2016June 11, 2016 by Adam Doud

Funny thing. I guess my latest collaborative post should have had a “Spoiler alert” tag on it, because if you read my thoughts on what I’d like to see at WWDC, you would have noticed that I talked about this editorial. Specifically, I suggested that iOS was boring and needed a major overhaul. So I started thinking about it; was I right? I’m not so sure, and that brings us to this debate.iOS has been stuck in quite the rut for years and years (and years and years) now. Its basic grid of icons and up-until-recently awful notification shade have been designed to exacting ...

Posted on June 9, 2016 by Adrian Diaconescu

It’s one thing to wish for a major imminent VR breakthrough from the world’s most profitable tech company, but it’s an entirely different kettle of fish to realistically expect Apple’s Daydream answer at the 2016 Worldwide Developers Conference next week.Let’s face it, it’s not going to happen. Not so soon, at least, and not at an event described as a “snoozefest” by our own Adam ...

Posted on June 8, 2016 by Jules Wang

Apple’s App Store makes so much money from fewer downloads than Google’s Play Store. So, why change a revenue sharing model with developers that has worked for eight years? Because Phil Schiller is betting that it will end up making Apple more money.Schiller revealed to The Verge that developers can soon activate app access subscriptions on their products from any category — including games.

The big reveal we’re looking out for? iOS 10. iOS X. iOS Twiddles. Whatever it’s supposed to be called, it’s supposedly coming. And in all seriousness, we haven’t seen a completely new software feature for you iPhone or iPad that would seemingly justify turning the dial up to ten.While we do know that WWDC will take place ...

Apple has just let the secret slip about WWDC 2016 dates

Posted on April 18, 2016April 19, 2016 by Stephen Schenck

Every year, we look forward to the big developer conferences behind some of the most popular mobile platforms out there: Microsoft Build, Google I/O, and Apple WWDC. With Google I/O on our calendar about a month from now, and Build already in our past, that just leaves Apple to come through with WWDC 2016, but so far the company hasn’t confirmed precisely when its conference will fall. And while we still haven’t heard a formal announcement, Apple may have just gone public with WWDC 2016 dates, sharing ...

Second-gen, substantially thinner Apple Watch rumored for WWDC debut

Posted on April 8, 2016April 8, 2016 by Stephen Schenck

Apple’s recent hardware event may have brought us a new iPhone, and a new tablet, but it came up a little bit lacking for wearable fans: we got new Apple Watch bands, sure, and a new low price for the entry-level model, but isn’t it about time to see the launch of a second-gen Apple Watch? After all, it’s been a year and a half since Apple first announced the smartwatch, and nearly a year since retain availability commenced – in the mobile market, that’s an ...
