The next Apple

The next Apple keynote is without much doubt scheduled for September. Presentations of new iPhones have indeed consistently held during the school year, so that the typical worries of stocks at launch are resorbed in the approach of the holiday season. According to journalist John Paczkowski of BuzzFeed, usually well informed, Apple has planned to hold its big media event Wednesday, September 9th. A date which  correspond  to the day with the presentation of last year!




         
John Paczkowski adds no juicy details in this statement, except that the Apple TV in 2015 we are waiting for many months would be in the program. If Apple follows the same schedule as last year, the invitations should be sent to the press at the very end of August, and phones could be marketed as soon as September 19. We're almost there!

Fixed a Mac or a Mac laptop?

Apple has in its catalog three ranges of laptops and three desktop computers ranges. Determine if you need to travel with your computer so you can halve the list of computers that may match your needs! Answering this question is usually quite simple: if you quite simply need your computer during class, then you need a laptop. There are some cases where a fixed Mac may correspond: if for example you do not use your computer you going for very simple tasks like taking notes, iPad may be the case with day Fixed a Mac at home for leisure and more complex tasks. If you need a very high power (audio-visual, 3D graphics, etc.), a fixed computer can also be more appropriate, provided of course to have a fallback for courses and trips ( iPad or laptop extra).

 

ais in the vast majority of cases, a laptop is best suited for students who typically need their computer everywhere. The budget issue is obviously paramount (power or equal features, a laptop generally cost more than fixed), but as we will see later in this article, it is always possible to get a cheaper Mac on the l'Apple Store.

Apple is preparing a new keypad and a new mouse

 New keyboards and mice are new in preparation at Apple! This is the FCC, among other US agency responsible for approving the marketing of products emitting radio waves, which unveiled two new accessories: BCGA1657 the mouse and keyboard BCGA1644. These two new devices to drop the Bluetooth 2.1 Low Energy Bluetooth 4.2, allowing more reliable wireless connections while consuming less energy. The batteries are also abandoned in favor of integrated batteries and recharging the past via a USB cable.

We know little about the design of these new products, except that the mouse looks very close to what we already know and the keypad has lost the location where the batteries were located and allowed to raise the modèle actuel . The charging method is also a mystery, no USB plug not shown on the diagrams above.

The FCC states that worked on pre-production models, but the actual launch date of these two new accessories obviously remains to Apple's discretion. So we could discover the new keyboard and the new mouse as well in the coming weeks in several months, although the arrival as new computers every year during the month of October could be an ideal launch pad. Stay tuned!

Apple iOS 8.4 and Music are available

 Great news for those who expected Apple finally launches its streaming offer through subscription: iOS 8.4 is available, and embarks with him Apple Music and free radio station Beats 1 (as well as several free premium channels themselves, too), which the first music programs have just begun (read:  Apple Music, la musique par abonnement ). The Music application has indeed been completely redesigned to accommodate the new Apple service, which is integrated directly into iOS. The price, as announced at WWDC, is 9.99 € per month, but you have the opportunity to experience Apple Music free for three months.

To install this version of iOS, you simply go to the settings on your iPhone or iPad, then click on "General" and "Software update". The update of the mobile system from Apple then you should be proposed. If this is not the case or if your iOS device does not have enough space to perform the update, you will need to go through iTunes and connect your device to your computer using a cable. Note that iOS 8.4 brings support for Apple Music but also various software patches that fix bugs and allow a better stability of your iPhone or iPad. The installation is recommended even if you do not intend to use the Apple streaming service.

Update 6:41 p.m.:

Music runs on Apple Mac but requires version 12.2 of iTunes, which is not yet available ... Hopefully Apple will not wait too long!

Update 6:47 p.m.:

The Beats 1 program is now published on a  Tumblr.  page. Big names in music are on the program for the next days!

Update 0:59:

iTunes 12.2 is available! To install, go to the Mac App Store, available in the Apple menu in the top left of your screen.

Apple renews interest Liquidmetal

 For many years we hear of Liquidmetal. This alloy with particularly interesting properties is exclusively used by Apple Computer today (read: Apple, Atakan Peker and LiquidMetal), but its use is limited to small accessory to access the SIM card tray of iPhone. If it therefore seems obvious that Apple's research on the subject go much further than a simple paper clip, we still await the release of a product using Liquidmetal and just learned that Apple has renewed its license with Liquidmetal Technologies for a period that will run until February 5, 2016.

The first Apple exclusive license for the use of Liquidmetal in electronic products dates back to 2010, and therefore it is more than five years that the Cupertino company is working on developing new products using this alloy. Apple does has a revolutionary use in his cartoons, or seek it also block the use of this alloy to its competitors? The suspense is over.

New beta for OS X, iOS and watchOS

 It's already two weeks after their first official presentation and making them available to developers as beta versions that OS X 10.11 El Capitan, iOS watchOS 9 and 2 have been updated last night. The three updates, available only for registered developers, bringing a number of new features under the hood and a few graphical tweaks here and there to iOS 9. need this update is also an opportunity for us to discover a very interesting feature that was available since the first beta: the ability for the system to temporarily remove some applications in order to apply a software update on a device whose storage space is too low.

This innovation should make great service for users of iOS including iPhone or iPad has a full memory. Hopefully, however, this kind of new feature Apple does not encourage too long to continue the marketing of devices with 16 GB or even 8 GB of storage just ...

The iPad mini first generation was withdrawn from sale

 The iPad mini first generation was quietly removed from l 'Apple Stores online catalog! The Apple Store does indeed offers more iPad Mini for the first few hours without Apple would bother to communicate on the subject. Without much doubt, the small Apple tablet, which had been marketed for the first time in November 2012, has been retired because of old age and outdated features. The range of Apple Tablet So now consists exclusively of devices with Retina displays, whose rates have not been changed:

f the iPad mini is no longer displayed on the Apple Store, it is however still possible to get it, including through the   Refurb Store where you can get a small discount: at the time of writing these lines, it is proposed from 226 € instead of 249 €. What sell the remaining stocks pending the final disappearance! Given the age of the tablet, but we advise you to prefer investing in an iPad mini 2, with a much higher power and Retina display 

The Apple Watch 2 is 2016

 As usual with Apple products, it takes the first or the second update for a truly successful product, the first version remains generally quite limited and confidential. Watch for Apple, it would seem that the usual pattern repeats itself: our colleagues from 9to5Mac  give us some first details on Apple's intentions for the Apple Watch 2, which will not start in 2015 but in 2016 . Surprisingly, Apple would rather satisfied with the autonomy of its first shows connected

nd if you forget to recharge one night

The first use of studies suggest indeed that most users still have 30% to 40% of battery when they go to bed. Apple has not yet the capacity to promise several days of autonomy at once, daily recharging should remain the norm and engineers of Cupertino would prefer to focus on adding new features. The Apple Watch 2 should have a FaceTime camera, and receive wireless chip more autonomous that will happen just over the iPhone today. The arrival of new sensors is also a proposed runway, but our colleagues do not have reliable information at this time. Finally, Apple would consider reviewing its pricing range to propose models between classic Apple Watch stainless steel (€ 649 to € 1,249) and Apple Watch Gold Edition (€ 11,000 to € 18,000). However, it is still early, and although the sources of our colleagues are generally very reliable, keep in mind that Apple's strategy still has time to evolve. See you in about a year!

Our first iPhone iOS 9 of impressions

 This week Apple introduced iOS first 9, a first beta version was made available to developers in stride. We immediately installed the first version of the future mobile system on an iPhone 6, to give us an idea of what to expect. Verdict? We advise you (really) not to do so.

We will not review the new iOS 9, we have already discussed at its output (read:   Apple annonce iOS 9) and you can find images by viewing the inaugural conference of the WWDC (read:  Revivez la WWDC 2015 en vidéo). We will however give you our experience and feelings regarding this update, which we recall is a working version that is set to change to its effective output during the month of September.

New features

New iOS 9 are actually far fewer than the conference earlier this week left to think at first. If not we put aside the features reserved for the iPad and those that are still available in France, as public transport plans or new apple pay cards, there is not much to get in the tooth when an iPhone is used. Several new products announced during the WWDC are not yet in addition present in the beta, as some improvements to Siri, Spotlight, or applying News.

All that remains is very little. The radius of the news immediately visible, it was of course the new multi-tasking mode, which works in reverse of the previous system (the home screen located on the right of the screen) and is very confusing without bring any benefit (except perhaps to see an additional application in one glance ...). It also has research accessible again by sliding to the left of the home screen, which offers suggestions for sources of news that can not be selected, and recent contacts and applications (which we But do not open for months). It is currently impossible to access half of the functions presented during WWDC (like the weather widget), and the only novelty we really enjoyed unrestricted is the Notes application, which lets small drawings, insert lists, photos ... then remain the tiny alterations, such as adding a handy navigation bar in the Photos application, or adding a small button to return to the previous application when app redirects to another application (eg, Facebook Messenger from).

Stability and performance

Overall, this first beta is surprisingly quite stable and performance are at the rendezvous. As a working version that is not finalized and will be further improved before its release, this is very encouraging. A bit like OS X 10.11 El Capitan where most improvements are under the hood, Apple relies heavily on the reliability of its mobile system with this next update.

Note however that we were very unpleasantly surprised by the autonomy of our iPhone 6 following the installation of this first beta version of iOS 9. The phone, even unused, heated enormously and discharges completely in half a day. It is obvious that this defect will be corrected with the next update, and the problem will be gone before the public release of iOS before 9 and even the public beta phase scheduled during the month of July. Until this is resolved concern, therefore we do not recommend installing this heavily pre-9 version of iOS on your phone, unless developer and to have a real business need. 9 iOS bringing no great revolution on the iPhone, there is also little point in taking the time to perform this update and take the risk of encountering problems of incompatibility with the applications you use every day.

L’obsolescence programmée bientôt punie de peines d’emprisonnement en France ?

e bill on the energy transition adopted earlier this year by the French Senate provides an article on the fight against planned obsolescence. But how to impose these rules at the global level while Apple example does nothing in this direction?

Apple is not the only manufacturer of electronic products to apply certain practices related to planned obsolescence. Among the uses that could be charged to the brand, one of them concerning the statutes applied to its products.

Each year, a number of Apple product changes status. This evolution involves different rules when the after sales service. Some products each year and become "irreparable". The Apple Store are no longer able to accept them to refurbish them.

This list of obsolete products according to Apple will be applied from the month of June. And among the products that will be released in Apple Store, it will take on the good old iPhone 3G and 3GS. It is true of older models, released in 2008. The new list of Apple products that become unrepairable this year was presented by 9to5 Mac site.
 Ecology will be the skin of planned obsolescence. In France, an amendment has been submitted to the vote of the National Assembly. The goal: to end these practices and punish manufacturers.
