<p>Earlier this year it was <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/02/04/apple-streaming-nfl-games/">reported</a> that Apple was among a handful of tech companies negotiating for the streaming rights to NFL Thursday Night Football games. While CBS and NBC obtained the rights to the television broadcasts, the NFL is looking for other options for the streaming rights. Re/code <a href="http://recode.net/2016/03/03/facebook-wants-to-pay-for-nfl-streaming-rights-but-apple-doesnt/">reports</a> today, however, that Apple is no longer interested in purchasing the rights to Thursday Night Football.</p>

<p>According to a variety of users on Twitter, iTunes Connect is down at the moment. Users report that they are unable to access any aspect of the service. It’s important to note that this is iTunes Connect, not Apple Music Connect. iTunes Connect is used by developers to access information about their apps and other store content. Last year, the service was down for <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2015/07/20/itunes-connect-outage-javascript-fix/">upwards of four days</a> for some.</p>

<p><strong>Update #2</strong>: A second coalition of tech companies including Google, Microsoft Facebook, Snapchat, Mozilla, and Dropbox have also filed a joint brief this evening in support of Apple. These companies also argue that the All Writs Act does not give the government legal basis for forcing Apple to unlock the gunman’s iPhone (via <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-encryption-idUSKCN0W527L">Reuters</a>). Google detailed its reasoning in a <a href="http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2016/03/joining-together-to-avoid-troubling.html">blog post</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Today, Google joined a variety of technology companies to file an amicus brief in US federal court. Together, we are voicing concern about the use of a broad statute from the 18th century, the All Writs Act, to require companies to re-engineer important security features that protect people and their data.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: 5 families of the San Bernardino victims have filed an amicus brief with the court asking for Apple to unlock the iPhone in question. More below.</p>
<p>On a <a href="http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2016/03/03Amicus-Briefs-in-Support-of-Apple.html">new webpage </a>dedicated to highlighting companies and organizations supporting it in its fight against the FBI, Apple today has shared a joint amicus brief from a variety of tech companies that has been filed with the court. Twitter, Airbnb, LinkedIn, Square, Reddit, and many others have signed the brief expressing support for Apple.</p>

<p>What role <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/01/27/opinion-vr-apple-tim-cook/">Apple should play in virtual reality has been debated</a> for a while now, but one major VR company today had a few things to say about Apple as a whole.

http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/03/app-store-refresh-schiller/
Thu, 03 Mar 2016 17:18:00 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/img_6118.png?w=1600&h=1000#038;h=563" /></div>
<p>Signs of change are beginning to surface on the App Store after <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2015/12/17/apple-leadership-changes/">December 17th’s notable leadership changes</a> involving Apple’s Worldwide Marketing SVP Phil Schiller. That move happened after growing discontent from Mac App Store developers, who noted communication breakdowns and overall frustration with the direction that the Mac App Store was headed in.</p>
<p>Schiller is now in charge of all App Stores, taking over responsibilities from Eddy Cue, which most prominently include the iOS App Store and the Mac App Store.</p>
<p>It’s been less than three months since the move occurred, but we’re already beginning to see a change in the way the App Store operates. For example, we’re now seeing more regular updates of the Best New Apps section at the top of the App Store’s Featured page. In a tweet today, Schiller acknowledged the changes and indicated that more changes were on the way.</p>

<p>An interesting new app by David Barnard (from <a href="http://contrast.co">Contrast</a>, maker of <a href="http://go.benjaminmayo.co.uk/532016360">Launch Center Pro</a>) and friends is hitting the App Store today: <a href="http://go.benjaminmayo.co.uk/1077039595">Rando</a>. It’s a straightforward — albeit strange — concept.</p>
<p>You choose to send a GIF, a quote or a picture (from your Photo library). You then choose a recipient contact and send them a random piece of media. You can even risk doing this completely blindly: the app will blur out the content so you can’t see it until its been sent to a friend.</p>

http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/03/amazon-tap-echo-dot/

<p>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X4WHP5E/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00X4WHP5E&linkCode=as2&tag=benjmayo-20&linkId=ULVUPGCVZKGBSF3F">Amazon Echo</a> has become somewhat of a hit success, with many users preferring Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant to Apple’s Siri because of faster speech recognition speed, reliability and overall better performance. Amazon is continuing to compete in the voice assistant space with the release of two new products today: the <a href="http://amzn.to/1VSQSbG">Amazon Tap</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&node=14047587011&tag=benjmayo-20&linkId=RQPIIORSUNS77PUZ">Echo Dot</a>.</p>
<p>The new products focus on expanding Amazon’s voice assistant into more rooms of your house as well as on-the-go. It’s an interesting strategy to make Alexa-dedicated devices, whereas Apple currently offers Siri only as a feature of its existing iOS, Apple Watch and Apple TV products.</p>

http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/03/how-to-move-files-full-screen-apps-mission-control-hot-corners/
Thu, 03 Mar 2016 15:50:34 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/easily-move-files-to-full-screen-apps-using-mission-control.jpg?w=1600&h=1000#038;h=563" /></div>
<p>Mission Control is a great feature found in OS X that can simplify the process of moving items between full screen apps when combined with Hot Corners. Hot Corners, a feature that I talked about in my <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/02/22/10-getting-started-tips-new-os-x-users-video/">10 getting started tips for new OS X users</a>, allows you to place your mouse pointer in one of the four corners of your Mac’s screen to invoke a specific response.</p>

<p><a href="http://9to5mac.com/tag/apple-pay/" target="_blank">Apple Pay</a> looks to have been a big hit in China, <em><a href="https://www.internetretailer.com/2016/03/01/apple-pay-gets-fast-start-china" target="_blank">Internet Retailer</a></em> reporting that three million bank cards were activated in the first two days of <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/02/17/apple-pay-china-3/" target="_blank">the launch</a>. Apple had been expecting big numbers, using a <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/02/19/apple-pay-china-numbers/" target="_blank">gradual rollout</a> of the service on day one, something not well communicated to cardholders.</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In the first two days after the Feb. 18 launch, 3 million consumers linked their bank cards to Apple Pay according to <span class="s2">China Merchants Bank</span>, one of 19 Chinese banks involved in the rollout.</span></p>

<p>It’s an impressive number, but with card processor <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2015/12/17/china-apple-pay/" target="_blank">UnionPay</a> having a monopoly on card processing, a <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2015/11/25/apple-pay-china-unionpay-agreement/" target="_blank">single deal</a> by Apple meant the service is available to a staggering total of 5B cards …</p>

http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/03/google-hands-free-payment/
Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:31:56 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/hands-free-e1456940514508.png?w=1600&h=1000#038;h=500" /></div>
<p>There have been many attempts at mobile wallet products over the years, from letting your phone simulate a swipe of your magnetic strip through NFC-based replication of contactless cards to the laughable <a href="http://9to5mac.com/tag/currentc/" target="_blank">CurrentC</a> that relies on scanned QR codes. Over on Android phones, there’s Google Wallet, Android Pay and Samsung Pay – along with a whole slew of smaller competitors.</p>
<p>But for iPhone users, <a href="http://9to5mac.com/tag/apple-pay/" target="_blank">Apple Pay</a> is the undisputed champion. Security is unrivalled. Your card details are never stored at all, replaced with a unique Device Account Number. That number is stored in the Secure Enclave. And a one-time code is generated for every single transaction.</p>
<p>Convenience too is maximized. iPhone users need only hold out their iPhone with their thumb or finger on the Touch ID button, while Apple Watch owners simply raise their wrist to the reader. I didn’t think there was any way to improve on it, but Google may be about to prove me wrong with its <a href="https://get.google.com/handsfree/#?modal_active=none" target="_blank">Hands Free</a> service …</p>

<p>Since watchOS 2.0’s announcement I’ve known that I would want to use the Photo Album watch face. The ability to have my favorite photos display every time I looked at my Apple Watch’s display made me think the device was about to get more personal. <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-store/id1057071179?at=1000lbbc&ct=facer&pt=117330004&mt=8" target="_blank">Facer’s launch</a> today takes that personality one step further.</p>

<p>Apple has today launched a <a href="https://twitter.com/AppleSupport">company Twitter account</a> for help, customer support and iOS tips. Although Apple manages some support accounts for parts of its business, <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2015/10/14/apple-social-apple-music-help-twitter/">like Apple Music</a>, this is the first time Apple has launched an account that covers its entire product range. <a href="http://twitter.com/AppleSupport">@AppleSupport</a> is already verified, confirming its validity as an official Apple support avenue.</p>

<p>Apple and the FBI are set to start its court battle for the San Bernardino case in a couple of weeks, March 22nd. In support for Apple’s position, over 40 companies, organizations and individuals will file amicus briefs later today to rally against the government order for Apple to compromise its own iPhone security measures. Facebook, Google, Dropbox, Microsoft, Snapchat and more will sign on to briefs in the case, according to sources.</p>

While the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/02/18/support-for-apple-against-fbi/">has previsouly expressed its support for Apple</a>, it today filed an amicus brief with the court, officially acknowledging its stance. Furthermore, three other privacy groups, Access Now, the Wickr Foundation, and a United Nations free speech group have also filed briefs with the court echoing the ACLU’s sentiments.</p>

http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/02/review-postly-iphone-ipad-photo-postcards/
Wed, 02 Mar 2016 19:45:24 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/postly-hands-on-2-1.jpg?w=1600&h=1000#038;h=563" /></div>
<p>Apple’s Cards app <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2011/10/12/apple-posts-cards-for-ios-app/" target="_blank">introduced</a> in 2011 and <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2013/09/10/apple-confirms-cards-app-for-ios-is-discontinued-recommends-iphoto/" target="_blank">discontinued</a> two years later remains one of my favorite iPhone apps to date. The service was fantastic: snap photos on your iPhone, then turn them into personalized letterpress cards sent through the mail to friends and family. Stamp and envelope included, you’d pay $2.99 for anywhere in the US or $4.99 for anywhere around the world. You can still send personalized letterpress cards using Photos on the Mac, but the service was perfect for me as an iPhone app.</p>
<p>I’ve tried a handful of similar iPhone apps since Cards shut down with <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/postly-send-beautiful-postcards/id1052071889?mt=8&at=10laZc&ct=925" target="_blank">Postly</a> being the latest and perhaps most modern. Available for iPhone and iPad, Postly lets you create personalized postcards from your iPhone that deliver worldwide for $1.99.</p>
