<p>Apple’s WWDC 2016 will be <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/02/apple-wwdc-no-external-display-software/" target="_blank">light on new hardware announcements this year</a>, but that will give the company plenty of stage time to show off big new releases on the software side. Siri for Mac, a Siri SDK for developers, an Apple Music and iTunes refresh, Touch ID features, and possibly a first look at new Macs, Apple has a lot of interesting in-development projects it could show off for Macs and OS X 10.12 at WWDC 2016. Below we roundup the rumored features for the next release of Apple’s Mac operating system and explore some of the possible new hardware we might see at the event later this month.</p>

http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/03/comments-apple-services-outage-response/
Fri, 03 Jun 2016 19:00:49 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/2566990336_42f6ff2599_o.jpg?w=1600&h=1000" /></div>
<p>It’s been a rough couple of days for Apple’s services. Apple Music took a lengthy hit on <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/01/apple-music-icloud-music-library-issue/">Wednesday</a> with subscribers being signed out, then a widespread outage hit multiple services including iCloud on <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/02/app-store-itunes-in-the-cloud-and-other-icloud-services-currently-unavailable-for-some-users/">Thursday</a> for several hours. All this during a quarter when Apple is selling itself to investors as a <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/05/17/aapl-services-revenue-potential/">services company</a>, not just the iPhone company, but these outages are way too common.</p>
<p>And it’s not just services. Apple had to <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/02/ios-9-3-2-ipad-pro-fix/">re-release iOS 9.3.2</a> for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, a minor bug fix update that bricked the company’s latest tablet for a lot of customers. Mistakes happen but it’s Apple’s response after everything is resolved that bothers me…</p>

<p>Apple has updated its WWDC app for iPhone and iPad with a new look and feel ahead of the annual conference later this month.

<p>Apple is inviting staff to vote for one of 20 different ‘community themes,’ a list of worthy projects ranging from using technology to boost environmental sustainability to empowering the elderly. One of the projects is geared to making Apple products more available to those who would not normally be able to afford them.</p>
<blockquote><p>Our themes are a result of global collaboration, innovation, and passion. They’re rich with intention and supported by detailed ideas. Each one reflects our belief that we can leave the world better than when we found it.</p></blockquote>
<p>The internal document references Apple’s approach of ‘a thousand no’s for every yes’ and says that votes will determine which themes go forward into further development and testing …</p>

http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/03/apple-pay-uk-unlimited-value-purchases/
Fri, 03 Jun 2016 13:34:24 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/apple-pay.png?w=1600&h=1000#038;h=500" /></div>
<p><a href="http://9to5mac.com/tag/apple-pay/" target="_blank">Apple Pay</a> is arguably more useful in the UK than in Apple’s home market of the U.S. as contactless terminals have been in widespread use for many years – at least, in the bigger cities. But the standard £30 ($44) limit on contactless transactions has so far mostly been applied to Apple Pay too.</p>
<p>We knew <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2015/06/24/apple-pay-uk-frequently-asked-questions/" target="_blank">a year ago</a> that this was going to change over time, and it seems that rollout of the upgraded payment terminals has now reached many major retailers …</p>

<p>Yesterday, well-respected venture capitalist Mary Meeker released her annual Internet Trends Report. Inside the over 200 slide PowerPoint were some interesting numbers relating to the continuing battle between iOS and Android. As <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/01/mary-meeker-android-ios-2016/">we reported last night</a>, Meeker’s report showed iOS continue to decline in marketshare, while Android continues to gain. In many ways, the current split between Android and iOS in terms of market share and unit shipments is very similar to the split between Mac and PC shipments and marketshare. And it’s been a long time coming for Apple.</p>

<p><strong>Update 2</strong>: Apple is reporting that the iCloud.com services have also been restored.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: Apple is reporting that the availability of some services has now been restored but several features of iCloud are still down and undergoing maintenance.</p>
<p>As noted by Apple’s system status page, a multitude of Apple services are currently experiencing instability and downtime for some users. The affected services include the App Store, Mac App Store, Apple TV services, iTunes In The Cloud and critical features like Find My iPhone.

This year eligible purchases of a Mac, iPad, or iPhone will come bundled with a pair of wireless Beats headphones. This is reminiscent of <a href="http://bit.ly/1UiyhDQ"><span class="s2">last year’s Back to School promotion</span></a>, save for the fact that during this year’s promotion for the wireless headphone is the default and doesn’t require an extra $100 expense.

<p>It happens all the time. Parents upgrade old iPads with new ones and lucky kids inherit magical (and expensive) tablets. But kids aren’t nearly as careful with pricey pieces of glass and somehow always messy hands. That’s what happened in our house late last year, and <a href="http://bit.ly/1Y4Qr1m">Speck’s iGuy case for iPad</a> has made a world of difference.</p>

http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/02/apple-watch-diary-native-apps/

<p>It’s been a while since my last <a href="http://9to5mac.com/tag/apple-watch-diary/" target="_blank">Apple Watch diary</a> piece, <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/02/29/apple-watch-diary-apple-pay/" target="_blank">prompted</a> by the experience of losing access to Apple Pay for a couple of days. Unless you get excited by straps, we haven’t seen much in the way of new developments of late, but one thing did change yesterday: that was the date from which only apps using the <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/04/23/apple-will-require-all-new-apple-watch-apps-to-use-the-native-sdk-from-june-1/">native SDK</a> would be accepted into the App Store.</p>
<p>The sluggish performance of the Watch was our <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2015/12/22/apple-watch-diary-2015-2016/" target="_blank">most immediate complaint</a> when a few of us here looked back at our experience of the wearable over the year. All too often, you open an app or select a Glance and then spend several seconds – and sometimes much longer – staring at those spinning dots. Less a Glance and more an Impatient Stare.</p>
<p>I’d hoped that the switch to native apps might improve things notably, but so far I can see no evidence of this – which means that, of the eight different ways in which you can use the Apple Watch, I’m only using a subset of them …</p>

<p>Apple has today launched its Back to School deals for students. Similar to last year, Apple will bundle a free pair of Beats headphones with the purchase of an eligible Apple product for college. If you buy an iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro or MacBook Air, you get a free pair of <a href="http://amzn.to/1TY5lDL">Beats Solo2 wireless headphones</a> worth $299. iPad Pro, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6 buyers can get a free pair of <a href="http://amzn.to/1TRkCZS">Beats Powerbeats2 wireless headphones</a>, worth $199 retail.</p>
<p>Standard Apple student education discount also applies on Mac and iPad purchases. Although this is one of the best times to buy a Mac or iPad direct from Apple Store, you may save money from buying elsewhere …</p>

<p>Cases claiming to be designed for the next-generation iPhones, currently being dubbed the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, have been released online today. Although the cases do not show anything drastically different to what we’ve been hearing for months, with most of the chassis mirroring the appearance of the <a href="http://amzn.to/1XwGlpG">iPhone 6s</a>, it is interesting nonetheless to see the design formalized into cases that are apparently going to be <a href="http://www.oppomart.com/accessories/iphone7.html">on sale by the end of the month</a>.</p>
<p>The case renders include a depiction of what the dual camera system on the 5.5 inch iPhone 7 Plus could look like, suggesting that it will have a binocular-esque appearance of two camera iris holes side-by-side with a sizeable gap between them. The camera flash and rear microphone are also aligned horizontally. The iPhone 7 Plus case also includes space for the 3-pin Smart Connector on the back of the device — more pictures after the break …</p>

<p>Never one to shy away from provocative opinions, Tesla CEO Elon Musk told the <a href="http://www.recode.net/2016/6/2/11837468/elon-musk-google-apple-self-driving-cars" target="_blank"><em>Re/code</em></a> conference that Apple may have left it too late to compete effectively in the <a href="http://9to5mac.com/tag/apple-car/" target="_blank">autonomous car</a> field. He also said that not all companies exploring the idea appreciate the scale of the undertaking.</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I think they should have embarked on this project sooner. I don’t think they’ll be in production sooner until 2020. Is that too late? […]</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The sheer scale of automotive manufacturing is hard to imagine until you see the plants. The size of the industrial infrastructure is astonishing.</span></p>

<p>He did, though, wish Apple luck …</p>

<p>Mary Meeker’s Internet Trends Report for 2016 became available this evening, and as usual it serves as a great tool to analyze the ongoing battle between Android and iOS. Apple <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/04/26/apple-earnings-fy16-q2/">saw its first ever decline in revenue</a> last quarter and Meeker’s report definitely takes that into account. One slide from the report shows the marketshare and average selling point difference. As usual, Android has a commanding lead in marketshare and shipments, while Apple dominates in ASP. There are a few differences this year, however.</p>
