According to a new report from Bloomberg (fave.co/2NWh9tZ), Apple is shifting its Apple Arcade strategy and recently cancelled a number of game development contracts for the service. The report cites “people familiar with the matter” in claiming that an Apple Arcade producer informed developers of their cancelled contracts and change in direction in April. Reached for comment, Apple said, “We are proud to have launched the first-ever mobile game subscription service that now features more than 120 games, many of which are award-winning and widely celebrated for their artistry and gameplay. The vision has always been to grow and evolve the Apple Arcade catalogue, and we can’t wait for our users to try the games developers are working on now.” It seems, some of the deeper and move involved games…

As expected, Apple announced the next major revision to its phone operating system at its WWDC 2020 virtual developer conference. And as usual, the new iOS is full of features big and small. A new home screen with the App Library Apple is finally changing the iOS home screen. With iOS 14, you’ll be able to actually remove apps from your home screens, and even eliminate entire screens. Your apps will all remain in a new App Library, a page that is one swipe beyond your final home screen. The App Library automatically groups all your apps together into big folders that show the most recently used apps within. You can search for apps with a search box at the top, see automated suggestions in the upper-left box, and recently…

Apple’s tvOS isn’t Apple’s most popular operating system, but if you have an Apple TV, you definitely care about what each major new version brings. With tvOS 13 (and subsequent point releases) we got a lot of big features like interface changes, Xbox and PlayStation controller support, multiple users and Control Centre. By comparison, the features coming in tvOS 14 are minor, but sometimes the little things makes all the difference. Here’s what you can expect when tvOS 14 launches this autumn. 4K YouTube videos It is amazing that it has taken this long. No matter what video you watch on the YouTube app on your Apple TV 4K, it will only play back at a maximum of 1080p with no HDR. With tvOS 14, the latest YouTube videos will…

Apple has announced a bevy of new features coming to the Home app and HomeKit courtesy of iOS 14, including adaptive lighting for HomeKit-compatible smart bulbs, facial recognition for cameras and a redesigned interface. The tech giant made the announcements during its annual WWDC conference, during which it gave a broad overview of all the new features coming to iOS 14, which is due to arrive this autumn. First up, HomeKit will be getting support for adaptive lighting, which means HomeKit will be able to change the colour temperature of a smart bulb or a group of bulbs automatically depending on the time of day. The iOS Home app already lets you manually pick the colour temperature of a bulb. For example, the Home app will let you set the…

Apple might not have released any new hardware at WWDC, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t on display. The software updates it showed off all point to big changes on the horizon for Apple as it revs up for a huge slate of releases. And there are quite a few things we can learn from what Apple showed us. 1. The Apple Pencil is more important than the Magic Keyboard Perhaps most surprising about iPadOS 14 is what it doesn’t have: new trackpad gestures or multitasking improvements. When the Magic Keyboard arrived for the iPad Pro earlier this year, we thought for sure that a large part of iPadOS 14 would build on the new cursor and trackpad. But from what we’ve seen so far, iPadOS 14 does no…

AirPower is a curious product. It is one of the only products Apple has ever publicly announced and then never released. After announcing it on stage during its September Special Event in 2017, and showing it off on its website, Apple was never able to solve the technical problems with its production and ultimately killed the project, unreleased, early in 2019. Now, recent tweets from noted Apple leaker Jon Prosser show new AirPower (code name ‘C68’) prototypes still in development. According to the leaks, Apple has apparently fixed the significant problem it was having with the pad not charging Apple Watch properly. In addition, the power connector seems to have evolved from Lightning to USB-C. Back in April, Prosser noted that C68 was going through a revision to give it…

Later this autumn, Apple will launch a brand new version of iPadOS that brings a bunch of new changes to its iconic tablet. Here’s everything that you’re getting, how to get it, and whether your iPad will be able to get it. What are the new features? App design The biggest change you’re going to see on your iPad is with apps. Apple is bringing a refined design language to the iPad, with sidebars, pull-down menus and toolbars that look more like Mac apps than ever before. Many of Apple’s own apps, including Photos, Music, Shortcuts, Voice Memos, Calendar, Notes, Files, Mail and Contacts have new drag-and-drop sidebars that make navigation and organization easier, and streamlined toolbars in Files, Calendar and other apps keep things simple. Also, you’ll see Mac-like…

When Apple split iOS into two parts last year to distinguish it from the iPad, it was meant to give the iPad room to grow, with intuitive gestures, better accessory support, and, to quote Apple, things that are ”only possible on iPad”. However, despite Craig Federighi’s claim that “iPad users also benefit from the great features you already saw in iOS 14”, that’s not really the whole story. While that’s true for things like Scribble support and the new app sidebars and toolbars, there are an awful lot of new iOS 14 features that are only for the iPhone. Here’s everything that’s not coming to the iPad: Interface App Library This is the big missing feature. We already registered our displeasure with Apple’s decision, but in iPadOS 14, you’ll still…

We know iOS 14 is loaded with awesome features you can’t wait to try out. It’s currently available as a developer beta with a public beta on the way. And you may be tempted to install one right away, but you should definitely not do that on a critical device you use every day. If you’re having trouble with the iOS 14 beta, you should file a bug report (always file bugs) and wait it out until the next beta release. But if you can’t wait and just want to go back to iOS 13, you can do that too. You’ll just need to use a Mac or Windows PC to restore your iPhone or iPad. You did back up before you upgraded, didn’t you? Deleting the beta profile You…

It was the most important WWDC keynote for the Mac since the arrival of OS X two decades ago. Apple’s announcement of the Mac’s third-ever processor transition was big enough, but it was only the beginning. Apple also announced a new version of macOS, Big Sur, that is full of new features and design elements that paint the clearest picture yet about where Apple is taking the Mac in the future. It’s no coincidence that Apple chose this moment to leave version 10 behind after twenty years, replacing it with macOS 11.0. 2020 is the beginning of the Mac’s next (and, depending on how you read the tea leaves, last) era. The Mac and iPad collide While Apple has gone to great lengths to suggest that the Mac and the…

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference was completely online this year, but that doesn’t mean the company held back on its announcements. Since there was no live audience to interrupt the keynote with applause, hoots and hollers, Apple covered a lot of ground at a brisk pace during its two-hour presentation. You can watch the keynote in its entirety online (see fave.co/2Z1gtcY), but if you don’t have the time, you can find out what happened in our summary right here. Macs switch to Apple ARM CPUs Apple’s announcement that it will switch from Intel processors to its own silicon was the final segment of the keynote, saving the biggest news for last. Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple has planned for a two-year transition, with the first ARM-based Mac coming later…

It’s not just the iPhone and the Mac that are getting sweet new features in the autumn. Apple also unveiled the newest watchOS features that are coming to the Apple Watch, and there are some major changes in store. Here’s everything we know so far. What are the new features? Complications Apple hasn’t unveiled any new watch faces just yet – we assume those are coming with the Series 6 update likely due later this year – but there are major changes coming to the existing faces. You’ll be able to set more than one complication per app, so developers will be able to offer more than just a single option. For example, a weather app could offer complications for temperature, conditions, UV index and wind speed, which would all…

Apple has made advancements to its Siri personal assistant in every version of iOS, but it’s still looks and acts nearly the same as it did back when it was introduced in iOS 5. Finally, with iOS 14, Siri is getting a much-needed redesign. Here’s what you can expect from Siri when you upgrade. No more full-screen takeover When you invoke Siri, it takes over the entire screen. You can’t see what you were looking at, much less interact with it! It was an understandable compromise years ago, but it’s positively backwards on modern phones. With iOS 14, Siri will finally let you keep looking at your phone. Whether you invoke it by saying, “Hey Siri” or holding the Side button or Home button, you’ll just see a colourful orb…

At its recent WWDC keynote Apple unveiled iOS 14 – and if you’re an Android user, the ‘new’ OS might have looked a little familiar. The latest upgrade to the iPhone operating system, due to release this autumn, promises improvements including a new home screen, smarter navigation, faster apps and a fresh coat of paint on everything. And it’s clear that many of the best features are inspired, influenced, or just plain swiped from Android, from the new default email and browser apps to the picture-in-picture for videos. You can plainly see the influence on the new compact view for Siri and incoming calls, cycling directions in Maps, even the new home screen widgets. But as I watched Apple unveil the features during the slick and fast-paced keynote, I couldn’t…

Over the next two years, we’re going to hear a lot about Apple’s next transition. The move from Intel to Apple’s home-grown silicon is one of the biggest moves the company has ever made, one that’s sure to impact the rest of the industry as much as the Mac itself. But that’s not the only transition that Apple is embarking on. It might not have been given its own segment during this year’s WWDC keynote, but Apple laid down the tracks for a major shift away from traditional apps over the next several years. It won’t be as sudden or even as quick as the move to Apple’s silicon, but before long apps aren’t going to be something we need to download before we can use them. Rather they’re going…
