Apple iAnywhere - One Device to Rule Them All

Have you noticed how fast the computing power of mobile devices increase? Modern smartphones are more powerful than desktop computers just a couple of years ago. What if there were one mobile device that would act as a mobile phone and a desktop computer?

That's precisely what analyst Mark Moskowitz thinks Apple might be working on. Such a platform was even dubbed as iAnywhere.

Theoretically, this is quite possible. As a matter of fact, this is a direction that Microsoft is trying to pursue. So, it is quite possible that folks in Cupertino are working on the similar system.

As a side effect, this would give considerable boost to Apple on the side of innovation. As you might be aware, key shareholders at Apple are not very satisfied with the company's recent stagnation on the innovation arena.

Above mentioned is just a hypothesis. All we have to do is just wait and see if the unified Apple OS comes to reality.

Apple Might Launch Gold iPads Soon and a 12.9 Inch Model Too


According to the news from Bloomberg, Apple is about to launch a gold iPad. The 9.7 inch iPad in Gold variant shall hit the market by the end of this month. If you own a gold iPhone, you can now match it with the gold iPad.

More interesting is the news about the larger version of iPad. According to the same sources, Apple is about to unveil as 12.9 inch iPad. The device most likely will miss this holiday season and shall be officially available sometime next year.

The gold versions of the devices might not appeal your taste. However, the larger iPad is certainly something more interesting, at least for us.

Got Bluetooth Problems? Blame iOS8


More and more users report Bluetooth problems. The problem is significant if you used your iPhone with your car Bluetooth system.

Based on the information available on Apple forums, many new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices are affected, as well as previous models with an OS update.

Most frequent symptoms are refused or failed pairs or no audio playing even after a successful pair. Disconnects of already paired devices are also common.

Unfortunately, the Bluetooth problem is one of the many problems that have been literally pouring in since Apple started rolling out the iOS8 update.

What is your experience? Have you been affected by the update adversely? Have your say.

Native Apps for Apple Watch Coming this Fall


If you own Apple Watch then we have some good news for you. According to Apple, developers will be able to start developing native apps for Apple Watch from this fall. Until now developers can only customize iPhone apps for Apple Watch. However, with the new SDK (that is Software Development Kit) developers can create apps directly for the wearable gadget.

This shall have a huge implication on the usefulness and usability of Apple Watch. Another advantage is that the native apps shall at least theoretically decrease dependence on iPhone and make Apple Watch a more "stand-alone" device.

This information was revealed by Apple's Vice President of Operations Jeff Williams at Re/code's Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Mr. Williams was pressed to reveal sales figures for Apple Watch. However the only information given was that sales were "fantastic".

The native Apple Watch app SDK will be previewed at WWDC. We will be covering the details as they happen. Stay tuned.
