One of the new Bentley Mulsanne, was the integration of two iPad Air with individual wireless Apple keyboards in a automatic trays enjoyment of the rear passengers. Bentley Motors now, perhaps inspired by the success of Burberry, has released a short documentary filmed entirely with the iPhone 5s ... well, yes, and lots of cool accessories too.

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Said and done. Linking with the release of iTunes 11.2 and improvements in exploring podcasts, Apple has also updated Podcasts, independent app for iOS, adding these and other exciting new features such as integration with Siri Support or CarPlay to access our subscriptions from the screen of a brand new Ferrari FF, for example. 

Reproduction of podcasts joins the long list of things we can ask Siri. Just say something like "play podcasts" or directly specified which you want to begin to listen and listen to music.

The settings of the app have also received a necessary restructuring that makes it easier to understand how they work options that previously existed like to automatically delete episodes once played. In general, everything is a little easier now also combining this useful function to optimize our storage with the option to save our favorite episodes.

Ah! I almost forgot. Do you want to share a particular podcast with a friend? Go to their description or slides down their list of episodes to find the Share button. Now you can pass a link to your favorite podcasts via AirDrop.

Apple and Dr. Dre

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

The Financial Times was the first to break the news and say that Apple is negotiating the purchase of Beats Electronics , which was quickly confirmed by sources of Bloomberg , Wall Street Journal and Re/ode. According to these publications, the deal would be watching next week confirmed and close the Apple 's largest acquisition to date , worth 3,200 million.

Immediately, everyone started asking what Apple sees the company founded by the famous rapper Dr. Dre and music producer Jimmy Iovine. Will the flashy music head? Will it streaming music service? What is missing from Apple and it is found in Beats Electronics? For some, it comes to acquiring a company whose profits and generous margins marry perfectly with the business of Apple, others interpret that Apple desperately needs something to patch the drop in music sales on iTunes.

The potential of Beats for Apple

When a company buys another, our part of the brain responsible for imagination takes flight. From buying Beats by Apple confirmed, would be bringing their hardware section:

• Headphones for music: Apple renewed the design of the headphones that come standard with the iPhone and iPod showing the EarPods at the launch of iPhone 5. Apple could exploit the technology and know-how to create Beats external headphone brand that Apple sold separately. 

• Speakers: Beats Pill is a portable speaker that works by bluetooth. Apple tried to enter this field with your iPod Hi-Fi but withdrew the product shortly. It was clear that this was not it thing.

• BeatAudio: few know that Beats has licensed this technology to car brands like Chrysler.  The Chrysler 300S features a premium sound kit technology company. Given that Apple is in full swing with it CarPlay not be strange if they had some kind of integration in mind and presence in our cars in the future. 

Then there is the software part, which has curiously been the least discussed in the beginning, but that seems to be gaining momentum. In Appleismo already talked Beats Music, yet another streaming service for iOS and OS X sucking a piece of cake. Although the business model of Spotify and company continue to generate many questions about its profitability, the fact is that it is removing presence iTunes and Apple does not have a streaming service itself. iTunes Radio and iTunes Match are two services that do not supply this lack in so Apple Beats Music can be very interesting to Cupertino.

All rumors iOS 8 converted into a very interesting concept video

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Those who follow Apple, we live day to day with all the rumors that appear frequently on new devices, new features in the software or just moves Apple makes one or another trend. Here in weekly Appleismo collect most of these rumors Rumorsfera in our section, but today we want to show an extremely interesting video that shows how it could be really iOS 8. 

Why this video is different from others? Because instead of teaching what the creator of the video would like had iOS 8, actually teaches (as a concept, of course) are the rumors we've been getting so far on all iOS 8 features alleged will. In the video we see Siri to identify songs, Healthbook supported for future iWatch, CarPlay and not being able to use it in the car and the redesigned notification center.

What do you think these concepts? Although aesthetics is started with iOS 7 and many hate (but I love), if the redesign notification center is similar to that seen here and Healthbook runs without iWatch, I personally will be happy with the new characteristics. Let's just hope that is compatible with the iPhone "not so old" (iPhone 4 and above) and fix existing bugs iOS 7.

Apple releases iOS 7.1.1 with Touch ID enhancements and bug fixes to Bluetooth Keyboards

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Apple just released a new update of iOS to version 7.1.1 which implements "further improvements in the system of fingerprint recognition Touch ID" iPhone 5s and solves two problems related to the ability to record keyboards and use Bluetooth keyboard with VoiceOver enabled.

The update also includes security enhancements and is available for all compatible iOS 7 devices including iPad 2 and higher, iPad mini, iPhone 4 and higher iPod touch fifth generation. The Apple TV has also been updated to version 6.1.1 with a set of similar changes.

The version of iOS 7.1 was launched last March with several refinements to the user interface, a new calendar view and support for CarPlay among other innovations. Unfortunately this version introduced a problem with the Internet sharing option that has affected many users of iPhone 4 and apparently still not corrected in this new update.

Apple registered a patent deal that would prevent the mobile while driving

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Managing mobile or GPS when we are driving is one of the many causes that can lead to an accident. With the increase in smartphone and notifications, use while driving has increased, thus increasing the risk of accidents also. Apple knows this problem and just patented a system that would avoid using your phone while driving.

The patent would be based on safety thresholds to be inside a moving car, that is, detect the phone through the GPS we are moving and analyze image obtained by processing with cameras if we are the driver or not. Thus two areas, a safe and other unsafe be identified, as shown in the following image of patent registration.

According to the patent, upon detecting that we are in an unsafe area could be two things: either that the phone will block all use is considered unsafe or that the car emitted signals it inoperable phone while they were driving. These two possibilities are covered by the registration of the patent, so either could be chosen by Apple to implement.

Does this new patent a new feature of iOS related integration CarPlay? Yes and no. Software patents in the U.S. are so abstract that it can be only a record to protect competition or have an idea already developed and implemented.

Still, if this system a reality would be something that would have to take into account both car manufacturers as government of different countries, as they would have to think if it could be a mandatory on all cars to reduce the number accidents due to improper use of mobile phone.
