Apple’s WWDC 2016 will be light on new hardware announcements this year, but that will give the company plenty of stage time to show off big new releases on the software side. Siri for Mac, a Siri SDK for developers, an Apple Music and iTunes refresh, Touch ID features, and possibly a first look at new Macs, Apple has a lot of interesting in-development projects it could show off for Macs and OS X 10....

So you’ve recently purchased one of the brand spanking new iMacs that come with the latest hardware. The machine would be perfect if it weren’t for its standard 4GB RAM that begs to be upgraded? While you can build-to-order your machine at the online Apple store with up to 16GB RAM, it probably isn’t your most prudent choice given the company’s steep pricing for memory upgrades. For example, Apple still thinks four 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM modules (for a total of 16GB RAM) are worth six hundred dollars....

Funny, disturbing, and heartbreaking all at once, Parasite finds Bong in top form as a storyteller, delivering a film like no other this year. Parasite is not only one of the best movies of 2019, it’s a film that (as you might’ve heard by now) is better experienced going in knowing as little as possible. A Palme d’Or winner from South Korean writer-director Bong Joon-ho of The Host, Snowpiercer, and Okja fame (among others), Parasite is a daringly original work that defies being boxed into a single genre, combining dark social satire with more than a touch of horror, a thriller, and tragedy all in one....

Apple has applied for a patent for a method of waterproofing the internal components of ‘computing devices.’ The application, filed last year but only published today (via AppleInsider), does not name any specific devices, but the iPhone would be the most logical candidate … We’re sure you know our patent disclaimer by heart by now: Apple files patent applications more often than you or I eat breakfast, and only a minority of them ever make it into production....

It’s been many years since Steve Jobs famously told biographer Walter Isaacson that he’d “cracked TV” – an integrated television set with “the simplest user interface you could possibly imagine.” That idea seemingly went nowhere, with plans for a full TV set reportedly abandoned back in 2014. So far, then, Apple’s offering in the TV space has been a rather modest one: the venerable ‘black puck’ that is the Apple TV box....

Apple set expectations for the March 27 event with the invite: ‘creative new ideas for teachers and students’. It’s going to be themed and directed at education markets, no question. But that doesn’t mean the event will be irrelevant to an average consumer outside of a school. Whilst software announcements will almost certainly focus on things like Apple Classroom, any new hardware revisions affect normal customers just as much as schools....

So how do you adapt? By trying out and incorporating new growth strategies. Services that tout growth through purchased likes and followers are against Instagram’s service policies. These fake engagements and growth rates will only harm your account in the long run and might even get your account banned. That’s why brands need a strategy for authentic, organic Instagram growth. What defines Instagram growth? It starts with the number of followers you have and gain....

Sundance Film Festival announced in December that the Steve Jobs biopic, titled “jOBS”, starring famed actor Ashton Kutcher, would première at the 2013 festival this January and launch in theaters just two months later, but now the filmmakers have revealed a April 2013 release date. Five Star Feature Film has partnered with Open Road Films to distribute the film in the United States. As MovieWeb.com reported, Open Roads Film CEO Tom Ortenberg and Five Star Feature Films’ Mark Hulme announced the deal via a press release....

Yesterday, a reader named Lesley asked me for an update on my earlier opinion piece, “Google’s new Photos may just have won my library away from Apple.” As you may know, Apple considerably lowered its iCloud storage prices last week. Consequently, the choice between Apple’s paid and Google’s free photo syncing services has become more difficult than it was when I wrote that article. Lesley wrote, “I read your article on Google Photos possibly stealing you away from iCloud photo sync, and I would love an update to that article – if you chose to migrate, how did it go, and how is it functioning so far?...

At the end of 2019, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer OPPO has launched its flagship-like smartphone called Oppo Reno 3. The handset came with Android 10 on the top of ColorOS 7 out-of-the-box. Now, if you’re an Oppo Reno 3 user and want to flash the stock firmware on your device, then this article is for you.

Parallels, the virtualization software famous for being able to run Windows on the Mac, is celebrating its 10 years of innovation this week. Parallels has seen a cornucopia of changes since its initial launch in 2006 and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Opera Software has updated the Opera Mini web browser with iPad support this morning. Having spent some time with the app, MacStories praised visual tabs allowing you to switch between multiple pages by tapping their previews, smooth UI animations, background loading of tabs and a handy menu with rich bookmarks, history, settings and sharing options with Facebook and Twitter social integration and My Opera support. The updated browser also includes the souped up interface with the iPhone 4 Retina Display support....

We heard last month that Apple has a team of around 100 people working on revamping the search functionality in the iOS App Store. If true, it’s long overdue because App Store search is a truly terrible experience. You know it, I know it, developers know it, everyone in the world knows it – except, it had always appeared, the Apple execs in charge of it. If Apple is actually going to fix App Store search so that it works, that’s excellent news....

Following speculation that Apple may be looking to acquire Sonder Keyboard, the startup yesterday confirmed to us that it has been in discussions with Apple’s procurement board. Coincidentally or not, the company’s website was not accessible at the time of writing (that may simply be yesterday’s story driving too much traffic to it, of course). Sonder was not the first company to make a keyboard with dynamically-assigned keys. Patents for the idea go back as far as the 1970s, and the first commercially-available one was the German-made LC Board in the 1980s....

When Apple first made the move into larger-screen phones with the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, there was only tiny difference between them in terms of features: the larger-screened model included optical image stabilization while the smaller one didn’t. This was likely driven simply by the practicality of fitting the technology into the larger device rather than any real intention to differentiate the two devices feature-wise....

Now that Apple’s Find My program has officially launched with a range of third-party accessories, we’re left wondering what Apple’s own plans are for first-party products. AirTags have been rumored for years now, but Apple has just announced a licensed Chipolo tracker. Another accessory introduced today is a pair of black wireless earbuds from Belkin with built-in Find My tech. These obviously compete with AirPods. So what does the future hold for AirPods and AirTags?...
