Apple Time Capsule to be local hub for iCloud?

By Rene Ritchie, Sunday, Jun 5, 2011 a 11:36 am

Cult of Mac's source claims to have the inside info on just how Apple's new iCloud service will work, and they're saying Apple's Time Capsule (Airport Extreme + hard drive combo) will serve as its local hub.

Files saved on your computer are backed up instantly to Time Capsule, which makes them available to remote Macs and iOS devices.

Is this the iCloud login screen? [Updated]

By Rene Ritchie, Friday, Jun 3, 2011 a 7:59 pm

With WWDC 2011 only days away, the leaks coming faster and more furiously, and one of the big ones might just be shown in that image up top -- purportedly the [iCloud](http://www.imore.com/tag/icloud/] login screen, by way of chpwn on Twitter.

Question is, will it replace MobileMe as Apple new internet services portal, or will it be a second point of entry?

UPDATE: And... it's a fake.

Look through the glass and what do we see, the iCloud logo on a banner at WWDC! Yes, it does seem like someone traced the MobileMe icon to make the iCloud icon but that's also a nice little bit of continuity.

New Apple Time Capsules to cache iOS software updates?

By Rene Ritchie, Thursday, Jun 2, 2011 a 2:33 pm

9to5Mac is hearing that new Time Capsules -- the Airport Extreme and hard drive in one -- are on the way that might just be smart enough to download and cache iOS (and Mac) software updates for you, so they're waiting when you're ready.

What we do know is that Apple has been internally testing Time Capsules to cache Software Updates for both Mac and iOS devices. The way we’ve heard it works is that the new Time Capsule learns which devices connect to it via Wifi. It then goes out to Apple’s servers and downloads Software Updates for those products.
