Aperture, 2005-2014

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Aperture, the photo editor of Apple will cease to be developed. Apple will focus on Implementation of new "Photos" App That Come With OS X Yosemite. A decision That leaves us without the expected X version, oddly enough, many expected. If it is good or bad decision will look over time. The truth Is that competition, mainly Lightroom has been so strong that never got to be relevant. Let's review as it has-been since its launch Aperture so far.

Developers at WWDC see signs of public transport in the Apple Maps

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Although yesterday we told you about the internal problems that Apple is taking the time to include improvements on their maps, it seems that this does not mean that they are stuck. Maps continue to evolve and the proof is an image taken by one of the developers attending WWDC sessions.

During one of the conversations about new features of iOS8 exclusively geared towards developers, one of the slides that showed you could see an iPad with Apple Maps running. At the bottom, along with the different icons you could see a bus, so no need to work hard to imagine that we have prepared Apple.

It seems that Apple is working on one of the most criticized features and that their competitors already have, the different public transport routes within city. If Apple has not made ​​any mention of this during the Keynote is because they would still have a ways to go. See if in fall, during the final presentation of iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, be mentioned or functionality that we will see in future system upgrades.

Keynote WWDC2014 video available

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
For you who have not seen the Keynote WWDC2014 video: 

Although of course there are opinions for everything, Keynote WWDC 2014 has been anything but lacking in substance: iOS 8, OS X Yosemite, iCloud Drive, Health, HomeKit... A flurry of news it will take to assimilate to its launch general public this fall but which at least we have taken a good step.

If you have not seen the presentation, I recommend watching the video. You will enjoy a good number of really funny moments, taunts competition, and of course, new, many new features.

Official Keynote WWDC 2014

The App Store is improved with app packs

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Apple has unveiled at WWDC 2014 new enhancements in the App Store. Trying to improve the way to find new applications, Apple will improve the App Store this fall with quite interesting new features.

Among these new features we found the Explore section, where the App Store will recommend us applications that come closest to our tastes and needs. Additionally, the search will be improved, showing just below suggestions on what we might be looking for as we introduce a search.

These two new features are added three more. On the one hand application packs, where developers can apply several applications to offer with a more competitive price. We will also preview improvements in applications such as videos of them and the ability to offer beta testing their application, thus receiving feedback from their users as they test their application before it goes on sale. These improvements come in the fall and will be available to all developers.

Health: all our measures of health in one place

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
The rumors are confirmed. This time Apple has introduced Health, the new place in our iOS devices in which all measures of health we do with our iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad will be stored.

This new application included as standard on iOS, will be accompanied by Healthkit, an environment that will allow developers find that your application is compatible with iOS Health. Thus Apple seeks to unify all health data in one place and third-party applications can access all of our data to make an accurate assessment of our health.

A clear example is Nike +, an application that monitors only our careers but with Health may access data as our weight, our sleep and even the calories you have eaten in the last days. Only have to use third party applications to perform measurements and give permission to Nike + that can use them.

Apple Introduces iOS 8 (Part two)

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Keyboards from third

From now on, you can install from third keyboards. If you are bored of QuickType, the new predictive keyboard function iOS 8. This not only gives us the context related to help us write faster, but rather may even save write full words, analyzing and offering a message directly possible responses using language appropriate to the type of relationship you have with that contact. Supports 14 languages.

iMessage

Like Mail, iMessage also assimilated many of the functions of other messaging applications as temporarily mute group conversations, access to a view all images from that thread, share our position, send audio clips... In short, features we take for assumed Whatsapp or Facebook that is actually missing in iMessage.

A new chapter on integration between iOS and OS X

But if what you want is plain and simple innovation, Continuity is the word to remember. The way Apple has managed to integrate OS X and iOS to move from one device to another continuing right where we left off without sacrificing the personality of each. A hit in the center of the target which is enhanced further by iCloud Drive, the file management system that, do what he promised, were waiting.

Health is the first

HealthBook Do you remember? Well actually called Health, but it is basically what we expected, a hub that centralizes all data collected by the sensors of the iPhone and compatible medical accessories.

Sharing our purchases

Family Share is more than a function, it is an advantage of the new Apple store which is a clear benefit for those of us with multiple Apple devices spread between our family. Now we can group up to six accounts under one credit card to share our purchases, and if our son wants an app, receive a notice requesting our permission to proceed. 

Photos

The Photos app has received a major update removing the limit of 1000 pictures and videos synchronizing  from Photo Stream, multiplying tenfold editing and retouching options and synchronizing all changes immediately through iCloud with a new app for OS X Yosemite. Also, if you have connection, you need not even have pictures and videos taking up space to see them.

"Hey, Siri!!"

It is the turn to Siri, and although not shown detail, we were at the moment with 5 features:

  • Skill to begin working with just say "Hey, Siri," 
  • Identifying songs through Shazam
  • Purchase iTunes content
  • Voice recognition as we speak. 
  • 22 new dictation languages

Apple Introduces iOS 8 (Part one)

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Following the presentation of Yosemite Apple OS X has also shown another gem, iOS 8, ​​a version that refines everything we had seen so far with iOS 7 further by incorporating a large number of truly useful new features that seem designed to please many of the user's demands.

Continuity, widgets, major improvements to Mail, Safari or iMessajes, more useful than ever Spotlight, iCloud Drive, Health, Family Sharing to share our shopping apps, music, books and movies with up to six family members, advanced editing photography and Photo Stream replacement by a new service that stores all of our images in the cloud without taking up space on the device.

Amazing additions to developers in areas such as fingerprint authentication, high performance 3D graphics and automation thanks to HomeKit, a new platform which incidentally is also integrated with Siri. By the way, we can now turn it without touching anything, just saying "Hey, Siri".

Interactive Notifications

First, interactive notifications, which allow us, for example, respond to a message or an invitation to accept an appointment in Calendar without leaving the app you are currently using. And yes, it also works with the locked device.

Mail, leaner, more powerful

Mail has learned from apps like Sparrow or Clear and now has a new set of gestures to mark a message or delete it. Better yet, if you have ever encountered locked emailing unable to check other mails, anymore: can now drag down the eraser to access any other mail, open it, copy what you want and return to the mail we were writing with another gesture. It is also more intelligent recognizing the content of the emails to add an event from the Confirmation of a reservation and the like.

Direct access to recent contacts




We now turn to the list of recent apps, multitasking view deployed by pressing twice on the home button and happened to also accommodate on its top a list of contacts who have spoken recently. Pressed in any of them we can call, write a message or start a FaceTime video call easily.Ah! And gesturing to the right is our favorite.

Spotlight with steroids

Spotlight has received a major update in OS X Yosemite which is also reflected in iOS 8 allowing access to many of the things we could do with Siri and search the information on Wikipedia or see a movie just starting to write their title. The searches are no longer confined to our own content but extend to the App Store, iTunes, Maps, the latest ...

What is "Continuity"?

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
In the mission to further integrate iOS with OS X, Apple has just introduced a new system for sharing applications between iOS and OS X called Continuity at WWDC 2014. With this new system we can share what we are doing to our iOS device and transfer it to your Mac and also vice versa.

Continuity is Apple's way of calling the entire system that has been devised to share the most of our iOS devices with our Mac with OS X Yosemite. Handoff is the system that allows us to share any application on your iPhone and vice versa, for example, if you are writing an email on our iPhone, the Mac will detect it and can finish writing therefrom. The system will also work with Safari, presentations, and any application that offers support for Handoff. Also allow us to have instant Hotspot meter without any password. 
Additionally it also introduced integration of SMS and calls with OS X. If we set our iOS device, our SMS will see in iMessage as if it were a normal message. Likewise this compatibility extends to calls, allowing us to use our Mac as a handsfree for our iPhone. This utility also allows you to call people from our Mac to our contact list and call phones we find on the web via Safari, all calls going through our iPhone.

Apple introduces OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Apple introduced yesterday at the WWDC 2014 which is the 10.10 version of OS X. As previously rumored Mavericks successor will be named Yosemite and bring with it a new design, new features and applications completely renovated.
The main novelty of OS X Yosemite is its new graphical section. All exterior appearance of the operating system has been redesigned, giving it a flatter, similar to what we are used to in the current iOS look. The Dock loses its three-dimensional perspective and most system applications have gained new icons, from the Finder, Launchpad or Trash. Finder windows have also received a redesign, winning as the main color white, becoming translucent top bar like the Finder and eliminating the effect of aqua maximize and minimize buttons.
Notification Center is also updated to look more like iOS, getting a tab of "Today" in which we see from our calendar to appointments or time will do. Spotlight is another feature that are restarted in OS X Yosemite; now the search dialog will appear in the middle of the screen to be able to search anything. Files, applications and contacts are the top searches but also can search in the Internet any term eliminating the middleman and showing itself in the Spotlight search results. 
OS X Yosemite will be available free in the fall and during the summer all users have access to the beta without being a developer. Then simply apply through the Apple website.

The channel to follow the keynote from the AppleTV, now available

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Apple is completing final preparations for the keynote this afternoon at the WWDC14, and has already left lists all avenues to follow the keynote streamed. One of them, the dedicated channel AppleTV.

If you now kindle the player, you can see it from the main screen. Where will we be able to see all the live broadcast in English and all the news. Remember that we will broadcast the news reaching us.

Alleged leaks of OS X

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
No matter how little it is that Tim Cook takes the stage and kick off the 2014 WWDC: there is always time for last minute rumors. This morning we woke up with the appearance of multiple images showing the supposed interface OS X 10.10, which probably will be called Yosemite if we rely on the poster image that has been placed over the weekend at the Moscone Center.

In the images we can see what we imagined: an OS X interface which melts a little more with iOS. Dock fills the bottom of the screen, a control center and notifications that open from the side of the screen, a window lacking Safari title bar and a search engine. The wallpaper is the Mavericks, but it appears that the photographs are taken from a beta system released in March.

Here are the full images originally posted on Reddit by someone who has removed their user account:






The "welcome pack" of WWDC2014

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

This WWDC has something special: is the number 25, and it marks a quarter century of developer conferences full of innovations and that have moved to a lot of developers. Perhaps that is why in the welcome pack, this year Apple gives all the lucky attendees who won the lottery ticket, a voucher for $ 25 digital stores of the company. 

In this card can read the phrase "25 years and coding". We also have the most common items, such as the official jacket of the conference and landyard accreditation.

In a few hours we will detail how to follow the keynote live, and of course promptly informed of all developments.

The Crystal Ball: WWDC 2014

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Here we are, less than 9 hours of the Keynote of the Worldwide Developers Conference, where Apple will reveal some of the surprises in which have been working since last year. Excited? At least I I am, and that I have a crystal ball that allows me to see, in general terms and with some margin of error, which will present Apple:

Let's see what the future holds... yes, I see Tim Cook taking the stage to catch up on the latest figures from the iOS app store... Wow, over 75,000 million downloads already? 1,100,000 available Apps? Not bad, not bad. The Mac is also doing very well, and the new apple stores have looked great.

Yosemite OS X is the next thing I seem to discern and to Jonathan Ive worked on his aesthetic. If you liked the design of iOS 7 you will love this. Quite reminiscent of the iCloud web but have been allowed the luxury of adding some effects and animations really striking. Wait, yes, I see... finally AirDrop will be compatible with iOS function. No more, send messages to pass something to the iPhone. Yes, wait until fall will be long.


The new MacBook Pros available today, sorry, tomorrow, at the Apple Store also appears quite intensively in my view, although the Mac Mini and the iMac will still take longer to receive their deserved update.

The following is iOS 8, ​​the next version of the mobile operating system apple comes without great aesthetic changes but further refinement of the marked line on iOS 7 and new features to get more out of both the Control Center and the Center Notifications . HealthBook will be one of my new series, and health become a key issue due to information compiled by the coprocessor M7 and future versions.


They also seem to have a system to use multiple apps simultaneously at least in the iPad. Siri is another of the strengths of the presentation, I think ... yes, finally opening a path for developers to integrate their apps features in the wizard voice. The first example of this integration will be Shazam for song recognition, but not the only one.

Finally, I see flashes of something called iWatch, a new version of AppleTV also more open to developers with its own app store, and a platform for home automation based on iOS ... but everything is very blurry and perhaps I will be arriving interference. Oh! The vision has been interrupted, I am exhausted, better not force the ball.

iOS 7 slash an amazing 90 percent

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

When it is obvious that iOS 8 is presented this Monday, but is not available until fall with the launch of the next iPhone, iOS 7 adopting reaches very high levels. A study in the United States and Canada throws these data.

89.7% of the iPhone that are assets in these countries have latest operating system installed on them. The previous study data showed overall 85 percent and was conducted in March this year.

The adoption of iOS 6 has also gained nearly a point, from 7.9 to 8.8 percent, down users with iOS 5 and iOS 4 or lower installed on your terminal. To continue the current growth, when it is officially released iOS 8, iOS 7 users will have reached 95 percent.

OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

After the "confirmation" of iOS 8 by Apple, promotional poster hanging in the hall of Moscone Center in San Francisco. And after iOS8, we begin to see the poster of Big Brother. Staff enclosure WWDC 2014 has started to hang the OS X 10.10, also confirming its presentation and giving us clues about its name.

If last year we saw the same poster with a photo of a big wave predicting the name Mavericks, now what we see is a big X with Yosemite National Park in the background. So accustom: OS X Yosemite.

Everything points to the WWDC 2014 keynote will focus the same as last year: software, software and software. Maybe there is some new hardware isolation, but certainly they will focus on the new versions of both Apple platforms. Getting what I call the weekend of impatience, the calm before the storm.

iOS 8

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Fewer hours are left for WWDC 2014 is held. Today Tim Cook will start to tell us all the news that Apple has prepared us. We will tell you the little news coming from the Moscone Centre.

Was not a big secret that iOS 8 is going to present in this WWDC, but we did not know what was the style that was to follow the review of the mobile operating system. On the banner you can see a simple 8 with a background that looks like something aquatic, almost like a pool. This picture contrasts enough with which we saw last year with iOS 7 poster which showed a simple colorful background with 7.

Rumors suggest that iOS 8 keep the aesthetics of iOS 7, however such a different banner can lead us to think that Apple have prepared some surprise. There is a very low chance of this happening but hope is the last thing you lose.

Rumors: the myth of iPhone 6

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

One of the effects of large waves is the effect of recoil prior to arrival. Less than a week to get the WWDC2014 Apple rumors are paused and machinery generate stops looking. What we will see on June 2 will be the first official presentation of the company unveiling its plans for new versions of OS X and iOS operating systems, and maybe one more surprise.

However, we are thinking in a year with new generation of iPhone, and exclusive leaks are still slipping through the cracks of the network. Meanwhile, this is what we have:


  • No doubt the iPhone 6 will generate more prototypes generated from the curious. We have already seen, combining everything we "know" so far, different interpretations of how it could be. Now it is the turn to case manufacturers who have created an aluminium model to generate products for the new release, according with MacRumors. And watch out, these leaks have historically never been far from the actual product...
  • Another rumor most commented this past week are the pictures of the possible LED light panel that the new iPhone 6. Apparently, Apple will incorporate the latest in LED technology to thin even more the new model, according to MacRumors would be considerably thinner than the iPhone 5s, for example.
  • This section talked a lot of "how" will be, but we must also assess the affectations of these changes and their impact on iPhone ecosystem. In 9to5Mac published an interesting article on how a larger iPhone will force developers to rethink their applications: iOS is ready for dynamic scaling, however, is the task of the programmers use this space to the fullest, and now seems to have much more that should be better utilized.
  • Another article I liked reading this week is publishing in TechNightOwl on quality control at Apple, and how every little problem is even software level makes them start over the whole process. I think reading it will be very useful to understand that any rumor about Apple security is a process that can not be the fastest, but is intended to be the most accurate.
  • Finally, a very good article by Mark Wilson to FastCoDesign: four myths about Apple, viewed by an ex-designer of the company. Well thought out, realistic and that we should come in handy to read when some fake try to sneak a impossible design: Apple are probably the best, but they are still human. Nothing iPhones with projected holographic display and keyboard...for now.
