  1. The Amazing Vision Of Continuity

    2014/10/23

    The Amazing Vision Of Continuity

    Apple's goal, it seems, is to make all the digital tasks you do possible on all the devices Apple makes. This is a vision Apple calls Continuity. Continuity is a new feature that comes with iOS 8 on the iPhone/ iPad, and OS X Yosemite with the Mac. You're able to start a task on one device, switch to another device, and pick up that task where you left off. For example, start typing an email on your iPhone and easily switch to a Mac with one click, then finish the drafted email on a standard keyboard and mouse. But this notion can be carried into all sorts of other environments. What about CarPlay in the car? What about Apple TV in the living room? What about HomeKit? How can Continuity play into those platforms?

    Is The Big Fruit A Bully To Manufacturers?

    GT Advanced Technologies is a company that took on a major project from Apple earlier this year to provide sapphire for Apple’s upcoming Watch, and, as the rumors have said, possibly a couple iPhones later in their partnership. The two companies were supposed to last a full five years together, but within the first year things have already gone downhill for GT Advance.

  3. Pay Will Change The Way We Think About Payment

    Pay Will Change The Way We Think About Payment

    As I’m sure you’ve heard, Apple has announced their latest and greatest iPhones. The iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus. They have also stepped into a new product category with the Watch, claiming that it’s the most personal product they’ve ever made. But Apple has also taken on a whole new initiative, and that's Pay (pronounced ‘Apple Pay’).

    Ep 9 - Apple TV Refresh

    Coming up here on October 16th, 2014, Apple is set to announce a few new products. Many top execs at Apple have been touting this product line-up all year long, building up the hype and making all us nerds giddy inside. They have released an invitation to the press for an event to be held at 10am Pacific, in their intimate Town Hall auditorium. The invitation shows (as pictured above) a sleek rainbow colored Apple logo with the tagline “It’s been way too long.” Very often nowadays they will release tagline like these that tease what’s to come, but this one seems like more of a head-scratcher than most. What could that mean? Well, to be honest it could mean a whole lot. Most likely it does. The Apple TV seems the most likely update to me, since some developers have recently reported that the 8.1 beta 2 has HomeKit support for the Apple TV (released as a Developer Preview earlier this week). It's been a long time since that thing has been updated. And honestly I find the Apple TV's interface to be horrible, but it's fundamental features are hard to go without after you get used to using them. Things like Airplay and Netflix just ready to go on the same device gets me every time. Since the Apple TV is already in thousands of people's homes already, why not add a super awesome software update that brings things like HomeKit connectivity to control the rest of the house, and continuity features to take what I'm watching on YouTube and watch it on my television? (Natively, not streaming from my phone with Airplay. ) Things like that will make this thing the cornerstone to Apple's ecosystem. An Apple TV refresh seems like the "I think we've finally cracked it..." comment Steve Jobs made in his biography about the TV experience. If you haven’t read that book (by Walter Isaacson, called Jobs, it’s on the iBooks store here: (Link)) On this thing there might be a new interface that makes it way easier to get to the content you want without clicking into menu after menu, there might be a new content platform that way out-performs and out-shines the competition, possibly something more a-la-cart where I pay for what I want rather than pay for everything and watch two shows, and it will control your home from anywhere you are. So this little box will be the hub that connects you while you’re on the go to your home. Turn off the lights, lick the door, etc. act as your living room media consumption platform, and act as an extension to your other devices seamlessly. Why not? It's been way too long since the television experience has been rethought. That’s what this tagline means.

    IPad Pro Quo

    Follow us on Twitter! @commandtabpod, @benheutmaker, @curiousurick The iPad's hardware is nice, beautiful, and efficient. But feature wise it's falling behind the times just a bit. But what would happen if Apple put out a 12.2" iPad Pro? What implications come with that type of tablet? How would it change the way you use an iPad? What features will be added, besides a bigger screen? Ben and George explore these ideas and speculate on what's to come.
