Anyway the details about this event are really scarce. The article suggests that respondents refused to give details about where he will conduct the presentation. As the apple and organized a meeting of high caliber to introduce iPhone 5, there is speculation a smaller event.

While met some photos of the alleged “iPad Mini”, the technical reported on it are virtually nil. Reports speak of a liquid crystal display 7.85 inches , Lightning connector and thinner design. If the event is real, Apple is likely to launch the invitations to the press at the beginning of next week.

Apple asks for time and patience iOS Maps 6

On Wednesday iOS came in June with several new, one of their banners the new app “Maps”. The mapping service developed by Apple was intended as a replacement for Google Maps luxury, but something went horribly wrong . The application was rejected, almost in unison by users due to photographs deformed, lack of information and the inaccuracy of many data.

screenshots quickly (some very funny, it must be acknowledged) flooded a Tumblr called The Amazing iOS 6 Maps, and the block had to break the silence. An Apple spokeswoman spoke with All Things Digital and urged patience users to improve the platform. This is one of the fragments translated:

launched this new map service knowing that it is a major initiative and we are just starting it. We are constantly improving it and, as “Maps” is a cloud-based solution, the more people use it the better. [...] We appreciate all customer returns and we are working hard to make the consumer experience even better.

Clearly the blame for all non-Apple , as the third party service applies as TomTom technology and OpenStreetMap. The problem is that the block rushed to promote the product as if it was the best possible alternative. There are gross errors that are inexcusable, even for a company that prides itself on its innovative retail products.

Google Maps does not become a product of the overnight, but its creators were able to work it gradually . In Apple were all over and I ended up leaving the backfire. According to All Things Digital , the development team of iOS maps 6 “locked” to work on a fix but you have to see how long.

So far Apple opened 17 job openings to add to the map service staff. According to TechCrunch, Google Maps folded the team to launch the new app for iOS before Christmas . Meanwhile, 9to5Mac said the Mountain View firm sent a version that is awaiting App Store approval. Do you think?

Apple removed the app native IOS YouTube 6

One interesting development came with the release IOS 6 Beta 4: native YouTube app was removed from the operating system from Apple . This occurred for several reasons, the most important being the completion of the licensing agreement between Google and Cupertino. The news was welcomed by many users, who were never satisfied with the application.

The YouTube native app for IOS was not very popular because of its limitations. Most users always complained about the lousy integrated search, and by the lack of options that would improve the navigation profiles or comments. Even the developers of recommended use YouTube mobile web version before the app for iPhone / iPhone.

Also, the history of YouTube for IOS will not end here. According to Apple, Google will release a new application for video service. It will not be included natively, but will be available in App Store. The Mountain View will have more freedom and can create a better quality product, but must go through the approval process the apple store.

With the elimination of YouTube in IOS 6, Apple makes it clear who wants to take more away from its main competitor in mobile software. A couple of months ago the apple also dispensed with Google Maps, although in this case to launch a mapping application itself.

According to available information, the absence of YouTube in IOS 6 shall not affect users predecessor versions of the OS. What do you think of this decision?
