WWDC 2013 software wrap-up: iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks lead the way

, Jun 10th 2013 Discuss [2]

This year’s WWDC keynote revealed both the next generation in Apple’s mobile operating system and their change of name re-track of their desktop-based OS X. With iOS 7, Jony Ive’s look and feel are rather apparent with a top-to-bottom adjustment to the operating system along with some pointed connections to the desktop side of things. Apple’s update to OS X, on the other hand, sees a slightly less drastic adjustment happening: and no, that’s not OS X Sea Lion, it’s more of a wave sort of situation.

WWDC 2013: what you WON’T be seeing

, Jun 7th 2013 Discuss [2]

Starting Monday, Apple’s 2013 iteration of their developers convention WWDC begins in San Francisco – and there’s a lot you’ll not be seeing. It’s not that there’ll be a lot of information under the skin and behind closed doors, that’s not what this is all about. Instead, it’s all about what’s still in the wings at Apple, what’s not quite ready to be released, and what will never, ever be released, especially not next week.

, Jun 3rd 2013 Discuss [0]

At last year's opening keynote during WWDC 2012, Apple introduced a refreshed line of Macs, so it would make sense for the company to do the same this year, and it seems that's exactly what's going to happen.

MacBook Air stock shortage adds weight to WWDC range-refresh rumors

, May 18th 2013 Discuss [2]

Whispers of a full MacBook refresh at Apple's WWDC 2013 this June look increasingly possible, with stocks of the 13-inch MacBook Air already tightening ahead of what's believed to be an Intel Haswell-based upgrade. Apple was tipped to be updating its notebook line-up to Intel's 4th-gen Core processors by analysts back in April, and now stock checks across US retailers would seemingly confirm that the last of the existing models are being mopped up.

Dear Apple: Where Is My Mac Pro?

, May 11th 2013 Discuss [71]

As I sat here today thinking about what I should write for my latest column here on SlashGear, I was distracted. I didn’t look at the latest news, like I usually do, and I wasn’t particularly interested in anything in particular. My mind was entirely dominated by one thought: the computer I was about to write the column on.

As I write this, I’m working on a Mac Pro that I bought several years ago. At the time, the computer was state-of-the-art and capable of handling all kinds of tasks. For me, it was a perfect solution: it offered me the flexibility to run three monitors, had the power to handle some video editing, and was running OS X – an operating system, I believe, is superior to Windows.
