[ad_1] So yeah, it would appear the convergence of Apple’s Mac and iPad software is well underway. There’s one more thing we need to talk about, though: the Apple Pencil. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t bummed this iPad uses Apple’s first-gen stylus from five years ago, but at least iPadOS 14 gives […]

iOS 14 update fixes a bug that reset your browser and mail defaults
[ad_1] One of the notable changes in iOS 14 is that it finally allowed users to set new default apps for their web browser and email.

What to expect at Apple’s September 15th event
[ad_1] Even though new iPhones aren’t expected for another month or so, it seems likely we’ll get updates on all of Apple’s upcoming software releases. According to Bloomberg’s Debby Wu and Mark Gurman, iOS 14 is still expected to hit iPhones this month. And if we get a new iPad, it would only make sense […]
iPadOS 14 hands-on: Design updates galore
[ad_1] That really shouldn’t be much of a surprise. Apple has been encouraging developers to build iPad apps with Mac Catalyst, which ensures that the same code runs on Mac computers as well as tablets. In other words, some iPad apps are essentially Mac apps, so a little cultural crossover was inevitable. What makes this […]
Apple’s iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 public betas are available today
[ad_1] Apple announced plenty of dramatic changes to iOS and iPadOS during its WWDC keynote — there’s expanded widget support, an App Library for iPhones, a suite new of Apple Pencil features for the iPad, and a whole lot more. While the final versions of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 won’t be available for a […]
Apple is reportedly canceling Arcade games that won’t keep players hooked
[ad_1] A move like this would make sense. Arcade’s business model revolves around people subscribing to get continuous access to (hopefully) quality games free of in-app purchases and ads. If games finish too soon or simply don’t keep people interested after the initial rush, they may not wait to see if there will be more […]
Safari will use Face ID and Touch ID for ‘frictionless’ web sign-ins
[ad_1] The Face ID and Touch ID features on Apple devices will soon be much more useful on the web.

You may not have to enter your username and […]
Here’s everything Apple announced at its WWDC 2020 keynote
[ad_1] Apple ditches Intel for its own ARM-based chips One of its biggest announcements today, Apple confirmed long-standing reports that it’s moving away from Intel processors. Instead, Apple will use its own ARM-based, A-series chips to power MacBooks and Macs. Apple’s silicon project is all about creating powerful, energy-efficient processors, which should mean improved battery […]
Apple releases Mac version of its developer app just before WWDC
[ad_1] WWDC 2020 is looming, and Apple wants to be sure developers can keep track of new developments even though they’re stuck at home. It just released a Mac version (first spotted by The Verge) of its normally iPhone- and iPad-focused Apple Developer app to provide news, developer stories and educational videos from the same […]
What to expect from Apple’s online-only WWDC 2020
[ad_1] There’s at least one other sign that Apple is rethinking its old conventions. Mark Gurman at Bloomberg reported earlier this year that the company is considering letting people set third-party apps as the default for actions like writing emails and web-browsing, rather than Mail and Safari. The move would be great news for Apple’s […]
