Below we roundup those features and much more as we take a look at the most likely new iPhone and iPad features in the works for iOS 10:...

Last week, Apple celebrated 20 years of the iMac. Major anniversaries are today relatively uncommon for the company, but will become increasingly prevalent in the future. Now 42 years old, Apple is a cornerstone in the technology industry. With such a rich and unique history, Apple’s products and values deserve to be properly catalogued through an official digital archive. Before describing a proper Apple archive, it’s important to establish what it shouldn’t be, and the problems and goals that motivate such a project....

In a shocking twist, Into the Badlands has just revealed that Cressida (Lorraine Toussaint) has the Gift - or at least something that looks like it - except with one major difference.

AirPods have many great aspects, but the fully wireless earphones’ bare-bones controls are not one of them. Fortunately, Apple has brought expanded customizable controls to AirPods with iOS 11. Let’s take a look… With iOS 10 you could only choose for a double-tap to invoke Siri or play/pause with the chosen control being the same for both AirPods. In iOS 11 it’s now possible to assign individual control options to the left and right AirPod....

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or3wvF9ts0I] Remember the above video from a Microsoft Phone 7 Mango demo in April? The then-current Apple browser (remember, that was pre-Nitro) didn’t fare so well against Android and Windows Mobile in a browser test that Microsoft set up. It registered a 2 frames per second vs. Microsoft’s Mobile IE score of 26. Apple was originally handicapped because the iPhone has more pixels to render: 640×960 vs. 480×800. The Nitro update certainly helped out a bit bumping Apple’s score mildly....

Third-party developers offered up new apps to measure real-world spaces and objects with iPhone when iOS 11 and ARKit arrived last year.

Apple’s early decision to address privacy concerns about the collection of personalised data gives it a head-start in the new mobile ad race, argues marketeer Gregory Kennedy in a Gigacom blog. Some background is probably useful here. Every iOS device sold has a unique ID code known as the UDID (Unique Device IDentifier). Many app developers used this 40-character code to identify you for various purposes, some of them perfectly legitimate, such as storing push notification settings and logging usage statistics …...
