OPENING OF APPLE’S DEVELOPER EXTRAVAGANZA DIDN’T DISAPPOINT So, with just one day done at WWDC 2019 at the time of writing, we’ve already been inundated with a host of exciting updates to the software we love. In fact, so much happened in the first few hours of the event that the only way we can really cover it effectively is by writing two articles. So, to get straight into Part One, what exactly went down at San Jose’s McEnery Convention Center on June 3? As usual, the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference kicked off with a detailed two-hour keynote. CEO Tim Cook took to the stage first, but it was senior vice president of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, who released the most important news in Apple software development that we’ve heard…

WHY THE CUPERTINO GIANT IS WELL-PLACED TO CONTINUE ITS GOLDEN RUN Towards the end of June, Apple dropped something of a bombshell among the tech press: the corporation’s Chief Design Officer, Jony Ive, was set to leave the company to launch his own design firm, LoveFrom . This wasn’t ‘just another’ staff departure from Apple: Ive had been part of the Apple fold for nearly 30 years, proving hugely influential in developing and refining product lines ranging from the Mac and iPod to the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. As the news broke, it inevitably ushered in feverish whispers about what Ive’s high-profile exit meant for Apple’s future – and especially tantalizingly, why Ive chose to leave. Speaking to the Financial Times, Ive implied that he sought more flexibility in…

Apple has transformed the way we work, communicate, spend, and work out, and now it’s hoping to become your personal doctor. Earlier this year, Tim Cook said he hoped healthcare would be Apple’s “greatest contribution to mankind,” and with the industry estimated to be worth a whopping $313 billion to Apple by 2027, Apple Health is in better shape than ever… APPLE WATCH DRIVING HEALTHCARE AT APPLE Since the launch of the original Apple Watch back in 2015, Apple has changed - and saved - lives . From encouraging us to take a walk to abnormal heart rate alerts, Apple Watch is one of the world’s most powerful healthcare devices, and it keeps getting better. With watchOS 6, Apple will introduce new ways to keep an eye on your health…

THE LEGENDARY TABLET FINALLY GETS ITS OWN OPERATING SYSTEM Last week, we looked at a number of key events from day one of WWDC 2019, Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference. However, so much was revealed – even just on the first day – that we couldn’t possibly cover it all in a single article. In Part 2 of our WWDC 2019 review (or version 2.0 if you like!), we’ll take an in-depth look at two more key software announcements from day one, and round up the highlights from the rest of the event that ran from June 3 to 7. iPAD SOFTWARE TAKES A GIANT STEP FORWARD We’ll begin with some incredible news for iPad users, who are finally getting their own dedicated OS. The annual developers’ conference is traditionally…

THERE ARE HEALTH AND PRACTICAL REASONS NOT TO BE TOO WORRIED It’s always fascinating to read of the ‘moral panics’ that arise from time to time with regard to how much of our finite time we should spend looking at screens. Unless you’ve printed off this article, you’re presumably staring at a screen right now, and you may well work in a job that requires you to spend a large proportion of the day doing so. However, that doesn’t stop many of us being anxious about the subject of screen time – not least when it comes to our children. THE ARGUMENT OVER HOW MUCH SCREEN TIME OUR CHILDREN ‘SHOULD’ HAVE First of all, let’s not deny one thing: that children do routinely invest a considerable proportion of their free…

In June, Apple lifted the lid on macOS Catalina, one of the biggest releases for the Mac in years. As we get closer to public release this September, we thought we’d go hands-on with some of the most anticipated features to offer our thoughts, including cross-platform apps, the removal of iTunes, and SideCar, which allows an iPad to be used as a second screen… GOODBYE, iTUNES macOS upgrades are typically more reserved than the all-guns-blazing iOS overhauls, but it was the Mac that took center stage at this year’s WWDC. One of the biggest talking points was iTunes - or, at least, the removal of it from the Mac after more than eighteen years. As Apple looks to streamline the Mac, it decided to split up the bloated software and…

When the then-CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs, prepared to unveil the cloud storage service iCloud back in 2011 , he described a world that you might barely recognize now: a world where any photos you take, videos you shoot, music you buy and other digital files are stored simply on your PC, “the digital hub of your digital life”. However, as you might recall if you are old enough, this arrangement faltered as many devices other than the PC began taking on further PC-like responsibilities. The days when a photo would scarcely last long on your phone before you quickly uploaded it to your PC are long gone. As Jobs acknowledged at the 2011 keynote of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) where iCloud would ultimately be announced, our PCs, phones…

HOW APPLE TECH CAN MAKE YOUR NEXT VACATION BETTER Suggested quotation: “You may be pleasantly surprised by how much of your expected luggage you can practically manage to replace with just an iPhone.” With summer now here, we wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve got an exciting vacation – or several – lined up. Perhaps you anticipate sunning yourself on a Californian or Floridian beach, exploring historical landmarks in Greece or Mexico or enjoying a quiet and romantic dinner with a significant other in Paris? However you intend to travel, you could have a lot of planning to do and things to pack – but perhaps surprisingly, your iPhone alone could almost serve as something of an entire digital suitcase. Let’s get one thing out of the way first: for particularly…

As Apple bids farewell to the MacBook for a second time, we take a closer look at its history, explore whether there’s a gap in the market for a 12-inch model, and get hands-on with the new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air notebooks which serve as the MacBook’s successors… MACBOOK: APPLE KILLS ITS LIGHTEST NOTEBOOK In an effort to clean up the Mac family and add some distinction to each product line, Apple announced plans to kill off the iconic 12-inch MacBook notebook it revived back in 2015 . Apple’s lightest ever notebook lasted just four years under three generations, prompting many to question Apple’s new approach to hardware - and mourn what was one of the company’s most innovative laptops. Considered Apple’s “coolest” MacBook, the 12-inch model certainly wasn’t…

A NEW TAKE ON THE CREDIT-CARD FORMULA When Apple announced Apple Pay back in 2014, it heralded the company’s first foray into the payments business. Fast-forward to March, at Apple’s ‘It’s Show Time’ event, and the Cupertino firm took yet another step, this time unveiling its own credit card, the Apple Card. The card, of which there is both a digital and physical version, may have been fully launched in the United States by the time you read this. But how exactly does the Apple Card differ from other credit cards, and should you consider using it? A STRAIGHT-TO-THE-POINT INTRODUCTION OF THE APPLE CARD In a video introducing the Apple Card, the Cupertino company has branded it “a credit card created by Apple, not a bank”. Nonetheless, Apple is partnering…
