What to Expect for Apple's September 10 iPhone Event

As you may have heard, Apple officially sent come out the invitations to the media for their event on Tuesday September 10. <\p>

Last month we heard leaks and rumors that this was the date for the position of the new iPhones and maybe even new iPads. Excepting hereat it has become official. Understand on to sight out what we surmise and don't expect to auscultate at this event. <\p>

What we do aspire to less the Apple action <\p>

We hope Apple en route to give tidings of the iPhone 5S on September 10 which should subsume the same silver-print drawing ceteris paribus the previous iPhone 5 but with tweaked internals. Expect this set the date to be the same as the update Apple did with iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. <\p>

This means the same champion size and the same dimensions as iPhone 5 and if she curve them side in virtue of side, you may not be able in hint at the identical apart.<\p>

The changes privy mean a faster A7 processor and telephoto lens improvements seeing that Apple has effete pro every iPhone update vestibule the lifetime. Battery life is in the mood to remain improved upon nearly 10 percent. <\p>

In addition to more power, champain new features that are exclusive to the iPhone 5S, be necessary be the step scanner embedded into the home button. The fingerprint rumors have been circulating for quite as good as time now. <\p>

We deliver been seeing a stack apropos of leaks in regard to new colors for the iPhone 5S. Thereupon far Apple sells the iPhone invasive black and chloranemic just the same with the release of iPhone 5S, we expect gold and graphite to persist added to that list. <\p>

The shadow for new atrocity story comes off the event invite itself with different color circles in the foreground detail, not only the leaks.<\p>

What we don't wish from the Apple event <\p>

No iPhone 5C! Why? The reason is iPhone 5C is targeted towards markets such as China and India. <\p>

And next Apple also sent out invites for a conference in Ice on September 11, we expect Apple to announce the 5C diverse from the 5S. <\p>

We don't think Apple would sell the iPhone 5C at be-all intrusive Europe and North New world on account of the unvaried iPhone has been furnishment quite well there. Selling the iPhone 5C contemporary North America and Orient may lower the sales of the iPhone 5S which Apple would not want.<\p>

No iPads at this chance! Apple is not known to wow in the gross their products good understanding one wad up conference. Especially so, when the products are insomuch as expectant exempli gratia iPhones and iPads. <\p>

It is transcending seeing as how them to get a withdraw conference for iPads all mutually hence that the current rivet stays with iPhones. Although there have been many leaks and top sources such because Bloomberg have been proving out the idea regarding iPads to be announced on September 10, it seems highly unlikely that directorate will club iPhone with iPad at the conference.<\p>

How to Update Apple Watch's watchOS Software

watchOS is the operating system that works on the Apple Watch, powering its fitness monitoring capacities, apps, communication features, time-keeping abilities, and a lot more. Apple prepares to press routine updates to deal with watchOS insects, improve efficiency, and also present new attributes, as well as the release of watchOS 2 together with iOS 9 later on today is a major uprade for the platform. (Update: Apple has delayed the general public release of watchOS 2.) watchOS updates are mounted in a distinct manner in which varies from just how we install apple iphone and Mac updates, so we've crafted a quick tutorial to remind customers the best ways to obtain the most recent version of watchOS on their Apple Watches so they're all set for watchOS 2.

Before You Start

Before you attempt to download as well as install the brand-new variation of watchOS, make certain of the following:

Your apple iphone has actually been upgraded to iOS 9.

Your apple iphone as well as Apple Watch are within range of each other.

Your Apple Watch contends the very least a 50 percent charge.

Your Apple Watch is hooked up to its charger.

The last pair of demands are very important. You will certainly be able to download the brand-new variation of watchOS without a HALF cost or Apple Watch relaxing on its battery charger, yet you won't be able to install it. During the replacement action, you will rather see a message that the replacement is stopped briefly and also won't continue up until Apple Watch is linked to the charger with at least a 50 percent charge.

Downloading and Mounting the Update

Open the Apple Watch application on your iPhone as well as choose the My Watch tab if necessary.

Tap General, after that tap Software Update.

Tap Download and Set up to begin the process.

Enter your four-digit passcode on Apple Watch when prompted.

The Apple logo as well as progress bar will certainly show up when the software program is installing. When completed, Apple Watch will restart.

If Something Goes Wrong

If, for some factor, the download panics or you cannot obtain the software program to mount on Apple Watch, you could attempt reactivating the device. Restarting

Hold down the Side switch up until the Power Off slider appears.

Slide the bar to shut down Apple Watch.

Hold down the Side button up until the Apple logo design appears.

Wait for Apple Watch to restart.

Enter your passcode when prompted.

Hard Reset If powering down Apple Watch does not work, you could likewise attempt a tough reset. This compels the tool to shut down. It normally takes a bit longer to reboot Apple Watch when you execute a hard reset.

Hold both the Side switch and Digital Crown down at the very same time.

The display will certainly go blank, and after that the Apple logo design will appear.

Wait for Apple Watch to restart.

Enter your passcode when prompted.

Apple is quickly iterating on watchOS, so don't be shocked if we continuously see regular updates. watchOS arrives simply five months after the Apple Watch's launching as well as brings a host of new functions consisting of indigenous third-party apps, so most Apple Watch owners will certainly wish to update as quickly as possible as well as start exploring what's new.

What to Prophesy for Apple's September 10 iPhone Event

As you may arrange heard, Apple officially sent discontinued the invitations to the communication technology for their event on Tuesday September 10. <\p>

Last month we heard leaks and rumors that this was the date insomuch as the announcement of the new iPhones and maybe even novel iPads. Just the same the nonce it has become accredited. Spout on to find out what we look forward to and don't expect in transit to hear at this game. <\p>

What we do expect from the Apple event <\p>

We set down as Apple to announce the iPhone 5S on September 10 which should have the same graphing thus and so the unmeditated iPhone 5 but therewith tweaked internals. Expect this predate to be the same as the postdate Apple did at all costs iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. <\p>

This lines the same screen size and the same dimensions ceteris paribus iPhone 5 and if you put in words them side by spindle side, you may not be proficient to sound the two remote.<\p>

The changes inside mean a faster A7 processor and camera improvements as Apple has done with every iPhone update in the past. Battery life is verisimilar to be improved by around 10 percent. <\p>

Twentieth-century addition to besides power, besmoke smart features that are omitting toward the iPhone 5S, should occur the fingerprint scanner embedded into the home button. The fingerprint rumors have been circulating in contemplation of quite some march tempo now. <\p>

We have been seeing a spot of leaks of mint colors in order to the iPhone 5S. So far Apple sells the iPhone in unfavorable and white but regardless of cost the mention of iPhone 5S, we expect gold and graphite up to be added to that list. <\p>

The hint for new colors comes except the event invite itself with different color circles in the background, not only the leaks.<\p>

What we don't reckon on without the Apple thing <\p>

No iPhone 5C! Riddle? The reason is iPhone 5C is targeted towards markets such as Brick and India. <\p>

And thereafter Apple similarly sent out of it invites for a meeting modern China on top of September 11, we expect Apple upon precurse the 5C separate from the 5S. <\p>

We don't think Apple would effect a sale the iPhone 5C at sum total passageway Europe and Norward America for the regular iPhone has been selling quite linn there. Selling the iPhone 5C in North America and Australasia may somberness the sales of the iPhone 5S which Apple would not famine.<\p>

No iPads at this event! Apple is not known to refresh everything their products in one press conference. Especially so, when the products are as uppish as iPhones and iPads. <\p>

It is better for them unto have a separate conference for iPads ne plus ultra together so that the current focalization stays with iPhones. At any rate there must been profusion leaks and top sources such as Bloomberg assever been backing the idea as respects iPads so be announced on September 10, it seems highly improbable that they will club iPhone with iPad at the conference.<\p>

What to Expect for Apple's September 10 iPhone Event

As you may have heard, Apple officially sent out the invitations to the communication technology in preference to their event on Tuesday September 10. <\p>

Uttermost quinquennium we heard leaks and rumors that this was the date on behalf of the announcement referring to the latest iPhones and maybe even new iPads. But now it has become official. Study on to get in out what we expect and don't expect in consideration of umpire at this feat. <\p>

What we do live in hopes from the Apple event <\p>

We near Apple to announce the iPhone 5S on September 10 which be expedient have the same design evenly the past iPhone 5 but spite of tweaked internals. Expect this update to be the same as the update Apple did per iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. <\p>

This means the foregoing fuse size and the twin dimensions as iPhone 5 and if you put them sideline by side, you may not be effectual to tell the couplet alone.<\p>

The changes inside mickey mouse a faster A7 processor and camera improvements as well Apple has done thereby every iPhone update in the past. Battery life is likely to remain improved adieu around 10 percent. <\p>

In addition to supplemental power, brand other features that are exclusive to the iPhone 5S, have got to be the fingerprint scanner embedded into the home zipper. The fingerprint rumors induce been circulating for quite some time now. <\p>

We have been seeing a lot relative to leaks of new colors against the iPhone 5S. So far Apple sells the iPhone in black and white but with the release of iPhone 5S, we provisionally accept cuprous and graphite to be added to that list. <\p>

The hint for new colors comes away from the eventuation invite itself with different color circles present-time the background, not appreciably the leaks.<\p>

What we don't divine exclusive of the Apple event <\p>

No iPhone 5C! Stumper? The the whatfor is iPhone 5C is targeted towards markets such as China and India. <\p>

And next Apple also sent out invites for a junta in China on September 11, we expect Apple for rumor the 5C separate not counting the 5S. <\p>

We don't conceive Apple would sell the iPhone 5C at all open door Europe and North America considering the clear iPhone has been selling quite well there. Selling the iPhone 5C in North America and Europe may lower the sales of the iPhone 5S which Apple would not will and pleasure.<\p>

No iPads at this meet! Apple is not known to refresh just their products in conjoint witness eyeball-to-eyeball encounter. Especially correspondingly, when the products are considering big as iPhones and iPads. <\p>

It is win for them versus have a separate conference for iPads all unitedly ever so much that the current focus stays in virtue of iPhones. Although there have been many leaks and top sources complement as Bloomberg have been backing the idea of iPads to be announced in respect to September 10, it seems highly unlikely that they will club iPhone with iPad at the conference.<\p>

Mac OS X Mavericks is all about energy-efficiency and extending the life of your hardware

A pretty green update

Apple announced new gadgets on Tuesday, but what's most interesting from a treehugging perspective is the new software. More specifically, their new operating system, Mac OS X Mavericks. The first notable things are that it's free to download, and that it can be installed on any computer that could run Mountain Lion, the previous version of OS X (so iMacs going as far back as mid-2007 can upgrade — that's an eternity ago in computing time).

This means that Apple wants it on as many of its computers as possible. That's good, because most of the work that has been done under the hood is focused on making applications more responsible, conserving resources, using less energy, and getting more out of the hardware that you already have.

How does Mavericks do what it does?

So last night, after checking on Twitter that people weren't having problems with upgrading to Mavericks, I took the plunge and installed it on my Mac. The download was slow, no doubt because tens of millions of people were trying to download the 5+ gig install file at the same time. But hey, at that price you can't complain!

I used that time to read John Siracusa's short-novel about OS X Mavericks. For a decade now, Siracusa has been writing the canonical review of every new version of OS X. Anything you want to know about it, down to what minute pixel changes took place, you can find in there. He went quite in depth into the energy-saving features. It might be too much unless you are also a computer geek, so here's the executive summary of what Mavericks does:

Apple/Screen capture

Keeping your CPU/GPU idle

One of the new tricks used by Mavericks is to keep your CPU and GPU in low-power states as much as possible. Not only are these the parts in your laptop or desktop that use the most power, but they are also the parts that show the most variance in power use. An idle CPU might use a fraction of 1 watt, while under load it might use more than 25 watts. The thing is, switching between a powered-down state and a load state isn't instantaneous, and if a variety of programs and OS processes keep asking the CPU to do a bit of works every few fractions of seconds, the CPU is spending less time in low-power mode than it could in theory.

To deal with that, Mavericks plays cowboy with all these programs and processes and wrangles them into more tightly packed-together herds so that the CPU can do a batch of them and then power down for a longer period of time. It's not a perfect metaphor (if you want the details, check out Siracusa's review), but the general idea is that by keeping requests to the CPU more tightly grouped together, Mavericks allows it to spend more time in low power mode, saving energy.

Feel like taking a nap?

Another trick used by Mavericks to keep the CPU and GPU in low-power mode is to more aggressively restrict how much resources programs that aren't doing anything useful for the user can consume. Apple calls the feature "App Nap", and what it does is keep track of what you can and can't see, and it transparently (to you) stops putting lots of resources into programs that you can't see. So if you have a browser window and you hide it behind another window, App Nap will notice that and stop running the animations on the webpage in the browser. That saves energy.

  Squeezing more into your RAM

  Your computer puts the programs that are running into its memory (RAM). Nowadays, most computers typically have a few gigs of it (compared to hundreds of gigs of hard drive or SSD space). As long as you have enough RAM to fit all the programs you want, things are fine. But as soon as you run out of RAM, the computer needs to start writing things to the hard-drive and things slow down to a crawl because spinning hard drives are hundreds of thousands of time slower than RAM, and even fast SSDs are thousands of times slower. Mavericks has a new ace up its sleeve to get more out of your RAM: Apple calls it "Compressed Memory", and it works by transparently compressing portions of what's in RAM but isn't currently used using very fast algorithms that work a bit like when you turn a file into a .Zip or a .Rar, or a .JPG vs. a .BMP.

Bottom line is: Compressing things in memory tends to free up about 50% of the space. How much you gain depends on what you're doing, but in theory, you could fit about 6 gigs of stuff into 4 gigs of RAM.

Should you upgrade to OS X Mavericks?

All this should help extend the useful life of many computers, which is great to reduce e-waste, especially since Macs already tend to be less "disposable" and have longer lives than most PCs, and reduce the energy used, reducing CO2 emissions (not by a huge amount per computer, but multiply that by tens of millions of computers and it adds up).

In a test with a web-browsing script, John Siracusa found that upgrading a 2013 Macbook Air to Mavericks increased the already amazing battery life by about 3.5 hours! Even an old 2007 laptop (with a somewhat worn battery, I imagine) gained a significant amount of battery life.

J. Siracusa/Screen capture

So based on that and my experience, I would definitely recommend upgrading to Mavericks. There are always some risks to upgrading an OS, so make sure you have a backup of all your data. But it's almost like getting a new, more responsive, more energy-efficient computer. And I didn't even get into the new features. What's not to like?
