Apple updated Facebook messenger in iOS

All things can’t be bad with Apple iPhone 5 as they have released a new cool update with their Facebook Messenger App.

These updates will allow iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to swipe to the left to see their online contacts. Users can also prioritize their contact list, like their favorite friends at the top of online list. This can reduce a need to scroll down to see their favorite contact.

The messages on this Facebook messenger have been updated as well. The messages now appear as speech bubbles, just like the messages that you have received on your inbox.

This updated app is already downloadable from App Store.

iOS 6 Released September 19th

The iOS 6 has been launched successfully with the cool new iPhone 5 and Apple has done a splendid job creating it. This OS was first shown in June 2012, as it announced that Apple won’t be partners with Google for the Google maps anymore and that the iDevices will have its own sets of maps, and other features including Passbook, Facetime over 3G, Facebook integration and Siri in the upcoming iPad 2.

Many Beta versions of the iOS 6 were released after the announcement and Apple again showed unwillingness to make a partnership with Google as it cancelled Google’s offer of pre installing the YouTube app, which now has to be downloaded from AppStore.

The iOS 6 supports most of the iDevices in use today. Apple has brought the update to iPhone 3GS and above for the iPhone series and the new iPad and iPad 2 for the iPad series and surprisingly, the update is also available for the fourth generation iPod touch.

The iPhone 5 has the iOS 6 already installed in it and all other devices by Apple, by now, should already update as the iOS 6 update was released on September 19th. The iPhone 5 was released on September 21st.

 

On the back hand, if you have an iPhone 3G or older, or the iPad original, you will not get the latest iOS6 update. So it’s a good time to start saving for an iPhone 5!

iTunes get 10.7 update

Just after launching the iPhone 5, new iPod nano and iPod touch models, we expected Apple to lay off guard and watch the reviews of its unveiling event.

But Apple has more tricks in its sleeves than we expected and it has decided to launch the new update for iTunes on September 12th. It could not wait till the iOS 6 got launched in September 19th.  It has also released the Golden Master (GM) version of the OS to its creative developers.

The iTunes updates are expected to come with the new iPods and get a head start to work with the latest iOS 6 update.  It uses 165MB of storage and seems pretty good.

Apple has also released the final retail version of the iOS 6 for its developers. Although many iDevices have already used the iOS 6 Beta version, the iOS 6 GM developers can test their apps before the iOS 6 gets launched on September 19th.

Xcode 4.5GM was also released for all developers to make apps for iOS 6. The iOS 6 will work in most of Apple’s devices including the iPhone 5, iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, new iPad, iPad 2 and also the fourth generation iPod touch.

Apple EarPod HEADPHONES: Better fit and improved sound.

The new headphones from Apple were launched along with the shipping of the new iPod touch and the iPhone 5. Apple promised that it has a better fit and improved sound since the tunes will be pumped directly to the ear canal. For just $29 you can have this new EarPod, which according to Apple is nothing that we have ever seen. Apple said that it took three years to perfect the EarPods.

iFixit website tested this headphones durability. They opened the device and found out that the device is using a paper diaphragm over plastic from the previous model, which is not prone to tearing. They have also proven that the remote is properly sealed which is resistant to sweat or water damage. However, iFixit said that the innards are pretty similar with the others, which means that if it will broke down or damage it will no longer be fixed.

Well, it will take an experience to judge the durability. Since it cannot be fixed once its damage then better takes good care of it. After all it’s how the person uses it.
