Apple Updates Find My iPhone, Podcasts And Movie Trailers App With All-New Designs For iOS 7

By

findmyiPhone

 

The redesign of Apple’s iWork and iLife apps received all the attention at today’s keynote, but Apple isn’t totally neglecting some of its lesser-used apps. Apple released an update for Find My iPhone this afternoon that brings a redesigned interface to the security app to bring it inline with iOS 7’s UI.

Find My iPhone allows users who misplace their iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Mac to use another iOS data to find the lost device and protect your data. The redesign seems to be purely aesthetic as all of the core feature remain relatively unchanged. Users can still remotely lock devices, wipe data, view battery charge, and even get driving directions to a lost device.

The free update is available in the App Store now.

 

Update: Looks like Podcasts and Movie Trailers have also been updated with new iOS 7 UIs.

[polldaddy poll=7498607]

Now that the wraps have officially come off the new iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display, the only thing left to do is scrutinize the hell out of them before deciding which one to buy. Apple’s never given customers as many tablet options as they have today, so our question is – Which iPad do you want the most?

The iPad mini now has the same A7 chip as the iPad Air making it just as good for gaming, plus it’s smaller and cheaper. But then there’s the iPad Air with its anorexic frame, featherweight features, and big screen which makes it the ultimate tablet. Of course you could always go the cheaper route now that the iPad mini and iPad 2 prices have been cut, making for one tough decision for iPad lovers.

We want to hear what you guys think of the new iPads, so vote in our poll above and drop us a comment explaining why you think your iPad of choice is a better purchase than Apple’s other offerings.

The New iPad Mini Is (Finally) A Great Gaming Device [Opinion]

iPad mini with Retina

The iPad mini, announced today, is suddenly a fantastic gaming device. While the original iPad mini introduced a fantastic iPad form factor at 7.9 inches, the iPad 2-equivalent display and CPU just doesn’t quite cut it for higher-end gaming apps.

Of course, all of Apple’s iOS devices have been great for gaming ever since the App Store launched back in 2008. Games make up a huge portion of the 1,000,000 apps out there to date, and it’s not surprising anymore to see console-level gaming experiences show up on both iPad and iPhone.

Oh man, how cool is the new Retina iPad mini for photographers? Not only has it got that sweet new hi-res display, it can now be had with 128GB RAM. That alone makes it pretty great for viewing and editing your photos, but there’s also a new version of iPhoto for iOS. But does it improve on the last excellent-but-flawed version of iPhoto on the iPad? Does it play nice with the Mac version of iPhoto? Let’s see.

Phil Schiller just got done revealing Apple’s new line up of MacBook Pros that promise bigger performance in a smaller package. One thing Schiller didn’t mention though is that Apple has decided to kill the 15-inch MacBook Pros with optical drives that the company has continued to offer to customers.

Over the last few years Apple has stripped optical drives from the MacBook Pro and iMac to allow for smaller device profiles, but continued to offer the 15-inch MacBook Pro with an optical drive for professionals who still need to burn DVDs and CDs. If you still want a machine with a DVD drive, Apple hasn’t done away with all of your options just yet. The Apple Store Online still offers the 13-inch MacBook Pro with a SuperDrive starting at $1,199.00.

Apple Unveils New iPad Mini With Retina Display [iPad Event]

Drooooool.
Drooooool.

The day has finally come. Apple has unveiled an iPad mini with Retina display. The second-gen model packs the new 64-bit A7 processor and the expanded LTE support in the iPad Air. Apple has also added another 128GB storage option to the Retina mini.

Color options for the new iPad mini are Space Grey and Silver, so no Gold this time. Apple has raised the price from $329 to $399, which likely has something to do with the higher expense of shipping a Retina display. Availability will begin “later in November.”

The first-gen iPad mini is still being sold, and Apple has lowered the price on that model to $299.

iLife isn’t Apple’s only software suite that’s getting love today. Eddy Cue also demoed new versions of iWork, Apple’s productivity suite that has been in desperate need of a redesign for years. A big addition is full file compatibility on any iOS or Mac device and on web, so anything can be opened and edited no matter where you are.

Perhaps the best new feature in the new iWork is online collaboration. That’s right, you can have multiple people edit a single document, even people who are “stuck on a PC,” as Cue said. iWork for iCloud makes it easy to log in on the web and edit if you don’t have access to a desktop app.
