Macworld’s digital evolution

As a reader of the iPad edition of our magazine, you may not be aware that we’ve been publishing Macworld’s print magazine in the UK since 1985, a year after our sister publication in the United States launched, with Steve Jobs smiling on the cover, on the same day that Apple launched the Macintosh. We’ve seen an awful lot of change in that time. This is no longer a magazine just about the Mac. As Apple has evolved from just a computer company, Macworld has evolved into a title that covers every product Apple builds – from the Mac, to the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and now the Apple Watch. And then there’s all the software that Apple sells. Just writing about Apple products alone is enough to fill all…

Apple’s iPad Pro finally here

The iPad Pro, revealed during Apple’s recent event, is the most powerful iOS device ever made, and “the biggest iPad news since the iPad,” CEO Tim Cook said from the stage. The iPad Pro also has two new accessories: the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil. Apple’s king-size tablet measures 12.9 inches on the diagonal. With 5.6 million pixels in a 2732x2048 resolution, the iPad Pro has a higher resolution than the 15in MacBook Pro with Retina display. And according to Apple, the new multitasking capabilities in iOS 9 were specifically designed to make the most out of the iPad Pro. Available in November, it will be available in Silver, Gold and Space Grey. While no UK pricing has been announced, we can get an idea how much you’ll have to…

iPhone 6s and 6s Plus debut 3D Touch displays

Apple’s new iPhones don’t look a whole lot different from last year’s models, but the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have a next-generation multi-touch display that Cupertino expects will change the way you use a touchscreen. CEO Tim Cook said the iPhone 6 is the company’s most successful iPhone ever. How to top that? Well, the 4.7in iPhone 6s and 5.5in 6s Plus will have 3D Touch displays that are similar to the Apple Watch’s Force Touch. A press will now unlock shortcuts in the apps you use every day, like Messages, Mail, Instagram, and more. When you lightly press on an app on your home screen, a short list of shortcuts will pop up. For instance, using Force Touch on the camera icon will pop up a selfie shortcut.…

Apple TV finally overhauled

Apple is reentering the living room with the 2015 Apple TV, a new set-top box that streams video, plays games, and uses Siri to answer your every entertainment whim. While the basic shape of the new Apple TV hasn’t changed, it is about 10mm taller than its predecessor, presumably to make room for all the added computing power under the hood. Gone is the crusty old A5 processor, and in its place is a 64-bit A8 chip. Around the back, there’s HDMI and ethernet, but no optical audio output. At first glance, the new Apple TV has a similar interface to that of its predecessor. A strip of recommendations sits on top, followed by a list of apps underneath. The big difference is that there’s an entire App Store, rather…

Attack of the clones

In a recent article for Macworld.co.uk, I made a video extolling the virtues of what I believe to be the 10 best games currently available for the iPad and iPhone. This was lots of fun, but I was slightly saddened to notice that three of my top four (Legend of Grimrock, Don’t Starve and the mighty FTL, if you’re interested) are not iOS originals: they were all developed for PC, then ported across to mobile when they made it big. With respect to PC gamers, that’s not how this was supposed to work. With low barriers to entry for developers and a vast, affluent user base, the iOS App Store was supposed to be a brave new world of innovation for the games industry: one that would leave PCs and…

6 REASONS TO GET EXCITED ABOUT EL CAPITAN

I’m not feeling a lot of love for OS X El Capitan out there. That might not be surprising, given that it’s firmly in the tradition of Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard – new-feature-light, speed-and-stability-focused OS X updates. But as someone who reviewed both Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion, I can tell you that not only did these releases contain a bunch of bug fixes and other internal tweaks, they also managed to add a bunch of new features, too. Apple can’t help itself. So let me present to you six reasons to be excited about what’s coming. Spotlight as search engine Some people love clicking around looking for things, whether it’s on their computer or on the internet. For those people we have navigation bars on websites and the…
