Apple isn’t cancelling its annual Worldwide Developers Conference this year, but it is changing the format. According to a statement, Apple will hold WWDC 2020 online in order to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. In the statement, Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller referred to the pandemic as the “current health situation”. He also said Apple aimed to create a “new WWDC 2020 format that delivers a full programme with an online keynote and sessions, offering a great learning experience for our entire developer community, all around the world”. Schiller did not specify the actual dates, but he confirmed that the event would be held in June as usual. In our event calendar, we speculate that the most likely dates for the event are June 1-5 or 8-12 in…

Even in these trying times, it’s good to have something to look forward to. The recent release of new models of the iPad Pro, MacBook Air, Mac Mini and Powerbeats may be small potatoes in the grand scheme of things, but they at least give us a distraction from everything else that’s going on. More than that, though, they may be the first real indication of Apple’s behaviour during this current world situation. Not just in terms of the products that the company is delivering, but how it’s prepared to deliver them. Because the Apple that we’ve all become accustomed to watching, the one that has the business of product releases down to a science, has to deal with these major upheavals like the rest of us, and that means…

If you really want to make the best use of your laptop, tablet, and phone in today’s always-connected world, you need a cloud storage service. Storing files in the cloud may have started as a way for consumers to back up their data in case of disaster, but today’s best services offer so much more. A good cloud storage solution backs up your important documents, photos and videos, but it also helps keep all your devices in sync. It’s a great way to make sure your desktop, laptop, phone and tablet all have instant access to all your digital content. It should also allow you to access and edit documents from a web browser and easily share files and folders with others. If you primarily use Apple products – whether…

Not too long ago, opening a zip file on an iPhone or iPad was impossible without using a third-party app, but that’s no longer the case. It’s actually really easy, so long as you’re on at least iOS 11. These set of instructions focuses on iOS 13 and iPadOS 13. You can also make zip files on an iPhone and iPad now, so we’ll show you how to do that, too. These steps should always work with zip files, and it also appears to work with tar.gz files. If you want to extract .rar files, though, you’ll still need to use a third-party app like iZip fave.co/2R0HTva. Open zip files downloaded from the Internet 1. In Safari, click on the link with the file you want to download. 2. A…

Apple still has plenty left in store for iOS 13 before moving on to iOS 14. iOS 13.4 and iPadOS 13.4 add significant new features. For iPad users, you’ll get new support for bluetooth keyboards and trackpads, making productivity tasks a lot easier. Developers can now publish apps and in-app purchases as ‘universal purchases’ that work across Mac, iPad and iPhone. And iCloud folder sharing is finally here. Mouse and trackpad support In an unexpected surprise, Apple is adding mouse and trackpad support to all iPads starting with iOS 13.4. The feature was widely expected to be a part of iOS 14 in the autumn, but it’s already ready to go. The feature is marketed for the new iPad Pro and it’s Magic Keyboard (which will be available in May),…

If there was any doubt that Apple had an event planned for March, Apple’s surprise announcement of the new iPad Pro confirms it. With a slew of new features and enhancements, the new tablet is more than just your usual refresh. It charts a whole new course for the iPad and draws a clear line between the consumer and the pro iPad. The new iPad Pro brings over all of the ‘pro’ features from the prior model – USB-C, second-gen Apple Pencil support, ProMotion display, Face ID – but it also comes packed with a bunch of next-gen features that take it to a whole new level and make it ever closer to becoming the hybrid device we’ve always wanted it to be. 1. A focus on graphics Apple…

Price: Free from fave.co/3bH8rth As if a new third camera on the back of iPhone 11 Pro wasn’t enough to get excited about at Apple’s September, 2019 keynote, creators of popular video capture app Filmic Pro were also in attendance to preview a forthcoming update that promises to take full advantage of the hardware. Filmic CTO Christopher Cohen and The Florida Project director Sean Baker provided an impressive demonstration of video shot simultaneously from all four iPhone 11 Pro lenses at once – wide, ultra-wide, telephoto, and front-facing cameras, each recorded as separate, ready to edit files. Although Cohen touted the feature would come to Filmic Pro later in the same year, the calendar rolled over to 2020 with the promised update nowhere in sight. Instead, the company debuted an…

Apple has done a lot over the past couple of years to make the iPad more attractive as a laptop replacement, and many of those improvements centre on multitasking. That’s great, but the problem is figuring out how to use all these multitasking tricks. We’re here to help. Below, we’ll show you all the multitasking features that work with most current iPads as of iPadOS 13.4, ranging from relatively familiar concepts such as Split View and Slide Over to trickier features like Picture in Picture. Once you learn them all, Apple’s tablet can feel like a vastly different device. Keep in mind that not every app supports all these features (although plenty do). In other words, if you’re having trouble, say, getting an app to work in Split View, that…

Just because you’re working from home now doesn’t mean you’re off the hook when it comes to meetings. And just because you don’t have a spare webcam around doesn’t mean you need to peel back the tape that’s covering your laptop’s camera – as long as you have an iPhone or an iPad, you can easily turn it into a makeshift webcam. There are a few different apps you can use, but we recommend Kinoni’s EpocCam Webcam. Not only is it easy to set up, but the free version with ads and occasional watermarking works with both Mac and PC (iVCam is a good option if you’re using Windows). Any iOS device that’s running iOS 10.3 or later will work, so even if you have an old iPhone 5 or…

Apple has acquired the much-loved weather app Dark Sky fave.co/2JvuXJz. One of the first weather services to use machine learning to make very local and very timely weather predictions, Dark Sky has been a feature on just about every ‘best weather apps’ list since its release back in 2012. What started as a successful Kickstarter project grew into a global weather prediction service used by dozens of apps. Less than a decade later, Dark Sky has announced in a blog post that it has been acquired by Apple. What this means for Dark Sky users If you’re an iOS user, nothing much changes for you right now. The Dark Sky app is still available in the App Store for £3.99. The company says, “There will be no changes to Dark…

The first reviews of the 2020 iPad Pro are in, and the results are – clear: it’s an awful lot like its predecessor from 2018. While there are a few notable updates – a new ultra-wide camera and a LiDAR scanner – it’s not really any faster than the old model. Which is fair enough. The 2018 iPad Pro was so far ahead of the game that even now I never feel like it’s too slow to handle anything I throw at it. I can see why Apple didn’t feel the need to upgrade the A12X processor much at all. But, then, here’s the big question: Why did Apple upgrade the iPad Pro at all? I have some theories. Open the LiDAR floodgates It’s rare that Apple rolls out a…

Your iPhone and iPad are not only great for keeping up with the latest news from friends and world events, taking incredible photographs, playing games, and generally keeping yourself entertained, but they are also little powerhouses that can organize your life while allowing you to get some work done. To make this happen you’ll need the right apps, so here’s our selection of the 10 best for productivity and organization. Apple iOS and iPadOS apps Before heading off to the app store to download productivity apps, it’s worth spending some time with those that Apple already includes on your device. Notes has seen some upgrades in recent years, allowing you to create entries with tables, lists, freehand drawing, text, scanned documents or photographs. These can then be stored in dedicated…

We’ve been waiting for iCloud folder sharing since Apple announced it in June of 2019. With iOS 13.4, the feature has finally arrived. Now you can invite several other people to a single iCloud folder, where they can access or add files. You can give people permission to make changes to the folder (adding, changing or deleting files) or give them view-only permission. On iPhone or iPad Open the Files app and navigate to iCloud Drive. Don’t tap on the folder you wish to share – that will open the folder. Instead, tap Select in the upper right, then choose the folder you wish to share. With the folder selected, tap the share button (the box with the arrow coming out of it) in the lower left. Select Add People…

It was ‘a wholly new product’, a ‘futuristic gadget the likes of which we’ve never seen before’ that would somehow ‘soon be viewed with the same nostalgia-tinged contempt we have for the original iPod and iPhone’. After months of debate and speculation in the aftermath of its announcement, ten years ago this month the original iPad arrived and I got to review it. Anniversaries are an opportunity to look back in time and ponder how much has changed. I’m happy to report that despite spending a bit too much time dwelling on how the iPad didn’t run Flash, my review from April 2010 does a pretty good job of encapsulating the potential of that original iPad – see fave.co/3dTxsU3. Re-reading that review today also reminds me that we’re still debating…
