It’s not been long since Apple first introduced any kind of deeper social network integration in to iOS. Twitter was the first in iOS 5, while the following version included Facebook. iOS 7 beta – so far – includes those two as well as Flickr and Vimeo. But Apple’s not done yet. In order to make it much more useful to a wider audience, it’s been…
You may have seen Apple’s bouncy, artsy video about innovation and product creation from this year’s WWDC keynote. It basically reiterates everything that all of the company’s heartfelt commercials do – that Apple really cares, and that it wants to make products that change peoples lives, yada yada yada. Well, today there’s a video circulating that…
Just over a week ago, Apple made a surprise announcement at WWDC when it showed a sneak preview of its work in progress, the Mac Pro. The new cylindrical power desktop is focused at power users, and Macworld UK has talked to some power users about their excitement and some skepticism about the upcoming computer. One of the biggest concerns among…
Louie Mantia is a former Apple designer who has also worked for other tech companies such as Square. He helped Scott Forstall design many of the iOS icons that were used before iOS 7′s redesign, including iBooks and Remote. Although he designed many of the icons with the skeuomorphic app designs in mind, he is not opposed to designing more flat and…
While it has been rumored since the inception of Vine earlier this year, it appears that Facebook will take the wraps off of an Instagram video service at its announcement this Thursday. Facebook began mailing out invitations to their June 20th event last week, and according to AllThingsD, the announcement is to announce Instagram video to rival…
As I’m sure you know by now, the beta of iOS 7 is currently iPhone only. There have been a few leaks and/or mockups showing what iOS 7 on an iPad could look like, but nothing too strong. However, a video posted by Russian YouTube user Rozetked seems to show an iPad running a legitimate (albeit buggy) version of iOS 7! Keep in mind that just because…
When Apple announced the new line of MacBook Air computers at WWDC, the big selling point was battery. The company claimed that they had improved the 13-inch model’s battery to 12 hours, and the first thing that came to my mind is, I’ll have to see it to believe it. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one that was skeptical about the new claims, and according to…
Vine has taken the social media world by storm. The Twitter owned video sharing service that began earlier this year has gained millions of users, and the app seems like it is the future of social networking (although I hope not). The app has remained in Apple’s top free apps list basically since it’s launch, and is in the #3 spot at the time of this…
The Facebook application just received an update today, bringing with it the ability to add icons to your status updates to indicate what you are feeling, reading, watching, etc (only in English). Other than that, other features that came include the ability to change who can see what you’ve posted, and more. Here is the full changelog from…
Just last month, Amazon debuted its new Cloud Drive Photos app, which allows users to access their photos stored on Amazon’s Cloud Drive service, as well as update their iPhone photos to the service. However, until now there was no way for users to allow photos to upload in the background, because the app did not allow background network connectivity…
Before Apple revealed iOS 7, the internet was chock full of concepts and mock ups, all trying to guess what the software would look and feel like. One concept that really stuck out to us here at TiP came from a website called Recombu, and that’s because it was interactive. Well, now that iOS 7 is out in the hands of developers, and all (well, most) of the…
Regardless of what type of case you eventually buy for your iPhone, there are always compromises. If you like really thin cases, you compromise on protection. Likewise, if you choose a really protective case, you normally have to give up your desire for a slim case. That state of compromise vs. features isn’t featured any where like it is with wallet…
