First Video of Working iPhone 7 Shows Camera in Action With the official unveiling of the iPhone 7 probably just over a month away, rumors and leaks continue to accelerate, and we've now gotten our first glimpse at what could be a functioning iPhone 7 device with some photos showing it running Apple's SwitchBoard testing software and a video showing the camera in testing mode.

Siri voice control is supported, and the iPhone's gyroscope and accelerometer allow the iPhone to act as another game controller for the Apple TV. The app can also be used to control the second- and third-generation Apple TV boxes, although those devices feature simpler interfaces and lack many of the current Apple TV's features such as Siri control and an App Store.     Read Full Article Apple Releases iOS 9.3.4 With Security Fix to Defeat Jailbreak Apple has released iOS 9.3.4 for all recent iOS devices, an update that includes an "important security update" recommended for all users. That important update is a fix for a single issue, which just happens to be the one exploited by the Pangu Team to allow devices running iOS 9.2 through iOS 9.3.3 to be jailbroken. Meanwhile, Apple continues to seed versions of iOS 10, macOS Sierra, watch OS 3, and tvOS 10 for testing. Developers received their fourth betas of those updates this week, while public beta testers received their third versions of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra. Notably, the new betas of iOS and macOS include dozens of new emoji to support gender diversity.

The vibe of the ad is a bit strange, as it feels similar to many of the claims made by Microsoft in its Surface Pro ads. And it's also a bit of a sore subject for Mac fans who have been waiting quite some time for updates to those products. In other iPad Pro news, Apple this week launched a bunch of international versions of its iPad Pro Smart Keyboard for both 12.9-inch and 9.7-inch models. Until now, U.S. English has been the only Smart Keyboard layout available to purchase. Logitech has also released its CREATE keyboard case for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, notable because Logitech is the only third-party company so far to build keyboard accessories that take advantage of the iPad Pro's Smart Connector.   Read Full Article Apple Watch 2 Said to Include Thinner 'One Glass Solution' Display Rumors about the second-generation Apple Watch are still a bit scant, but one recent report claims it will use a thinner "one glass solution" display technology that eliminates one of the glass layers used in the current watch display. Overall, the Apple Watch update is expected to be a fairly minor refresh, with cellular connectivity, faster performance, and better battery life perhaps being key upgrades. The new model could debut around the same September timeframe as the iPhone 7.   Read Full Article Kanye West Wants Meeting Between Tim Cook and Jay Z to End 'Beef' Between Apple Music and Tidal Following a report that Apple has been looking into acquiring Jay Z's Tidal music streaming service, Kanye West has apparently taken the negotiations public in a series of tweets. Over the weekend, West called for a meeting among senior Apple and Tidal executives and told Apple to "give Jay his check for Tidal now and stop trying to act like you Steve" while arguing the "beef" between Apple and Tidal is bad for the music industry.   Read Full Article
