iPhone 7
After months of rumors and speculations, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have finally arrived. Both these devices were announced during the most recent Apple Keynote presentation which took place in San Francisco. Major changes to the new iPhone 7 and new iPhone 7 Plus include a water resistant body, improved battery life, as well as the controversial removal of the headphone jack. Yes, the headphone jack.
Another change they've made to the new iPhone device is a re-haul of the home button. The old button has been replaced with a Force Touch-like panel which might take a little getting used to. Other notable changes include their new glossy black colour and a new camera. The iPhone 7 camera features 12-megapixels this time around and adds a larger apeture and optical image stabilization.
iOS 10 Announcement
Continuing with more announcements, Apple has unveiled the release date of iOS 10. Expect to get your hands (err fingers) on this new operating system on September 13th. Significant updates include major changes to Siri, which now will be able to improve image searches, better transcribe voicemails, and improved automatic text messaging. Apples new iOS 10 will also allow you to (finally) use widgets on the home screen. You can upgrade for free if you own an iPhone 5 or higher, iPod touch (6th gen), iPad mini 2 or higher, and iPad (4th gen) + of course any device which is coming out in the future.
Kanye x Drake
Earlier this year rumors started to spread around a Kanye West and Drake album (or Drake and Kanye West album, depending on which one you find more relevant these days). Although this collaborative album would be every hip-hop head's dream, no one took the Kanye and Drake album rumors to heart. Well it turns out that the album is actually already in the works. Kanye West sat down with Vogue to talk about working with the 6 God.
“We’re just working on music, working on a bunch of music together, just having fun going into the studio. We’re working on an album, so there’s some exciting things coming up soon.”
Mario is Coming to iOS!
One of the biggest announcements following the release of Apple's new iPhone 7 is Super Mario Run, Nintendo's mobile game coming to the iPhone. Although we're not quite sure why it took Nintendo this long to dive into the mobile gaming market, we are incredibly excited to start playing when it releases later on this year.
