Apple introduces the AI phone
At Apple’s WWDC 2018 — an event some said would be boring this year with its software-only focus and lack of new MacBooks and iPads — the company announced what may be its most important operating system update to date with the introduction of iOS 12. Through a series of Siri enhancements and features, Apple is […]

In earlier years, fitness gurus would market their programs for getting in shape on VHS tapes and, later, DVDs. These days, it’s an app business. At Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference this week in San Jose, the company brought in one of the fitness app industry’s superstars, Kayla Itsines, co-creator of the BBG (Bikini Body Guides) and […]

Well that escalated quickly.
At about 11:55 a.m. Pacific Time on Monday, Apple Senior Vice President Craig Federighi took the ongoing war of words between his company and Facebook to a new level.
Federighi declared that, in the upcoming version of mac OS, Apple would shut down the practice of ad networks tracking users via Like buttons and comment fields.
Facebook is probably not quivering in its boots. These protections, called Intelligent Tracking Prevention, only exist in Safari, Apple’s homegrown browser — which has only a 13.8% market share on desktop computers worldwide.

Apple will now allow password manager applications to integrate with Password AutoFill in iOS 12. That means you’ll have easier access to all your passwords when trying to sign into mobile websites and apps, not just those stored in iCloud Keychain. This may seem like a small change, but it’s actually an important one. Many […]

All the third party apps Apple killed at WWDC 2018
Apple’s WWDC18 keynote was an onslaught of software features across all of the company’s major platforms. But many of those features sounded very familiar and they likely made some third party app developers very unhappy.

How Apple plans to turn your Apple Watch into a walkie-talkie
Here’s a sentence I didn’t think I’d write: my favorite new Apple Watch feature is one that turns the wearable into a (slightly higher tech) walkie-talkie.
I’m talking, of course, about the new “Walkie-Talkie” feature for the Apple Watch, which…

Apple loves, loves, boasting about how it supports older iPhones and iPads with new versions of iOS.
That’s great for squeezing more life out of an aging iOS device, but what Apple never tells people is that updating the software almost always slows them down — sometimes to the point where they’re so sluggish your only option is to get a new device.
With iOS 12, Apple sort of acknowledged this slowdown on older devices, while simultaneously announcing efforts to speed up performance.
“For iOS 12, we are doubling down on performance,” Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, said during WWDC’s opening keynote. “We’re working top to bottom making improvements to make your device faster and more responsive. We’re focusing our efforts especially on the oldest devices.” Read more…
