[ad_1] In order to accommodate the new workforce, Apple is leasing two 12-story buildings in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood. The building’s location will be at 333 Dexter, only one block west of Amazon’s main campus. Apple and Amazon will be far from the only tech players in the neighborhood; both Google and Facebook have […]

It’s all about the apps
[ad_1] A word of caution Since this is software that is still incomplete (and kind of buggy), these are just my initial thoughts on an OS that’s sure to see some refinement between now and its final release in the fall. If you’re thinking of upgrading yourself, you’ll need one of the following: a MacBook […]
Apple’s Voice Control is important for accessibility, and you
[ad_1] Rather than save Mackay a few mouse clicks, the new version of macOS spared him from having to use a switch controlled by his tongue to interact with a machine. That’s the beauty of the update’s Voice Control system: With the right combination of commands, you can control a Mac, iPhone or iPad with […]
Best Buy stores will soon offer Apple-certified repairs
[ad_1] The partnership will be especially appreciated in places where the closest Apple store is hours away — like Yuma, Ariz; Sioux City, Iowa; and Twin Falls, Idaho — or the line at the Genius Bar is longer than you’d like. Though, in addition to Apple retail stores there are over 1,800 third-party authorized service […]
iOS 13 lets you know if you’re deleting apps with active subscriptions
[ad_1] The notification clarifies that you’ll still be able to access your account elsewhere via a browser or another device even if you delete the app. It’ll also tell you when you’re up for renewal, and it includes a “Manage Subscription” button that takes you straight to your subscription list. You can cancel your subs […]
Apple loses bidding war for J. J. Abrams’ production studio
[ad_1] Apparently, WarnerMedia’s victory came down to the breadth of what it could offer. Bad Robot wanted to work with a “larger” company that had both film and TV distribution under its belt. Streaming providers don’t really have that kind of reach, and Apple TV+ hasn’t even launched yet. This isn’t to say online services […]
Apple TV beta tests iOS-like picture-in-picture
[ad_1] From the looks of it, Apple’s picture-in-picture feature won’t allow you to stream video on top of another video. Instead, it shrinks whatever content you are currently watching to a small box housed in the corner of the screen, allowing you to navigate the rest of the operating system without needing to pause or […]
Germans can soon use their iPhones as virtual ID cards
[ad_1] This isn’t the first announced identification support, either. Japanese will also have the option of scanning their NFC-equipped identity cards, while the UK will use it to let EU citizens scan passports whether or not Brexit takes place. This won’t necessarily see widespread use. While the NFC system should be secure, Germany is well-known […]
Tariffs are forcing Big Tech to move production out of China
[ad_1] Last month, the US increased import tariffs on certain Chinese goods from 10 percent to 25 percent. If the tariff hike goes through, items like motherboards, smartphones, video game consoles and computers could be subject to the 25 percent tax. At that rate, Nintendo might be forced to sell its consoles at a loss […]
Apple’s big iMovie iOS update includes green screen and more
[ad_1] The update’s headline feature is undoubtedly the green screen effect — something already widely available in other video editing apps, so it’s about time Apple brought it to iMovie. With this, you can easily remove and edit the background of anything shot in front of a green (or blue) screen, and adjust the effect […]
