Apple calls the iPod nano 7 "renanoed", and if you look at the longer, thinner shape, and the wider screen, it's harder to argue the logic than it is the ad copy. It still isn't running iOS, and Apple has rounded the icons to better visually differentiate it from it's bigger, more computer-like cousins, but it does include apps. And buttons. There's a Home button now, also similar to...
If you thought the iPhone 5 set a new bar for thin and light, wait until you see the iPod touch 5. Thanks to the miniaturized Lightning connector and the single layer in-cell display, the iPod touch 5 really is entering the realm of ludicrously, turn-it-sideways-and-it-almost-disappears thin. Unlike previous years, stainless steel on the back of the iPod touch has given way to aluminum...
The iPhone 5 is the thinnest, lightest iPhone ever, but the iPod touch 5 is almost 2-dimensional. Everything comes at a price, however, and so while the iPod touch 5 is even thinner and lighter than the iPhone 5, it doesn't have anywhere near as good internals. If you don't care about that, however, if all you want to do is scratch the surface and find more surface, then here's how the...
The iPhone 5 Apple's 6th version, and 4th major design revision, of the iPhone. It might well have been inevitable, and still be working its way towards Jonathan Ive's Platonic ideal, but it's also a fascinating visual evolution of case shrinking, screen lengthening, and materials improving over generations. We've done the iPhone 5 in both stunning portrait, and in intimate macro. Here...
The iPhone 5 isn't just one of the most advanced pieces of consumer electronics ever made, Apple has taken the design and manufacturing itself well beyond the next level. Measured now in microns, the precision is as impressive as it is ephemeral -- easily seen in the fit and finish of every part up close, but disappearing instantly when you start using it, when it just becomes the phone...
VISOR!!! So you want to know how to make a fancy new "VISOR"-style article post? Alright, this guide will tell you what you need to know. There are 3 styles of posts, each with different looks, purposes, and implementations. It only gets complicated when you want to do complicated things (see: backgrounded headline + inline image). So let's get to it... Caveats The VISOR format is...
For some strange reason, our tip box is now overflowing with 960x640 screenshots (what, no iPad love?) showing a few changes from today's iOS 5 beta 2 release. Among the more interesting ones: Welcome screen now has an info button to give you your UDID number, should you have failed to record it previously (Thanks Apple!) The iCloud icon in settings is no longer purple. Long live...
You've already sent us one set of iOS 4 beta screenshots, and you just keep them coming. So here we are with round 2, and here's what they show: Photo Stream can support multiple Apple IDs Automatic downloads work for apps everywhere, but for music only in the US Game Center has a place for your picture now iCloud won't work with Apple IDs that aren't email addresses (older Apple IDs...
You're flooding us with screen shots of iOS 5 (sometimes without removing your personal info first -- please do that!), and we're going to keep adding them here. Here's some of what we're seeing: iPod app is dead. Long live Music and Video apps. (More consistent with iPad, iPod touch.) Tap and hold a lock screen notification icon, then slide to view it If you hate the new style...
