This week at WWDC 2013, Apple has added a feature to their mobile operating system called “Control Center”. With iOS 7, Apple has introduced a brand new user interface, complete with updated icons, typsetting, and a user interface that’s refreshed from top to bottom. Control Center adds toggle switches to iOS 7. With Control Center,
As anticipated, Apple announced an upgrade to its MacBook Air line of notebooks. The signature teardrop design hasn’t changed — the focus of this refresh is in the core of the computer.

For many iOS users, one of the most sought after features has been a quick access panel for common settings, much like what they’ve seen in other platforms. They’ll have it — iOS 7 is introducing Control Center for just that purpose. A swipe up from the screen bottom now lets users change wireless modes, Do Not Disturb, screen brightness and music playback from wherever they happen to be in the OS. There’s also quick shortcuts to the camera, calculator, timer and (at last!) a flashlight. To say Control Center is overdue might be an understatement, but we’re glad that it’s finally here.

As WWDC 2013 introduced iOS 7, Tim Cook made it clear that this would be the biggest change to the operating system since the introduction of the iPhone. This system update was introduced in kind by a video-based Tony Ive, lead industrial designer at Apple, the man that’d been put in charge of the user
We’ve read the rumors, we’ve seen the banners, and now it’s finally here. Live from the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Tim Cook has just taken the wraps off of the latest upgrade to Apple’s mobile operating system (after pumping up the crowd with some shimmering stats for the current OS, naturally), and as expected, the company’s maintained its familiar naming scheme, introducing the world to iOS 7. Cook called it the biggest change to the operating system since the introduction of the iPhone, bold words supported by new features and a new design that managed to get a visible gasp from the room full of developers when shown off in a promo video.
The new designs start on the lock screen, featuring a much thinner lettering. The icons have been redesigned and are flatter as expected. The company’s also updated the typography and added new animation and transparency for images. The design goes edge to edge on the display, taking more advance of real estate. The Desktop moves as you do, creating “a new experience of depth.” The company only focused on design during the intro video, but that was certainly enough to get the crowd excited.

Apple has revealed its new Mac Pro, the much-anticipated refresh of its professional-grade workstation, and it’s quite the departure from the old machine. Gone is the meaty aluminum tower, replaced by a compact, glossy black cylinder just 1/8th the volume of its predecessor. That doesn’t mean it’s slow, however: in fact, the new Mac Pro
Apple’s WWDC 2013 developers conference has revealed a new iteration of their Mac Pro machine, taking on a tube-like appearance and coming in as what very well may be Apple’s first fully-USA-manufactured machine. Apple’s word thus far is that this next-generation Mac Pro will be “assembled here in the USA”, which could mean that it’ll
iWork has been a traditional software suite ever since it first launched (the brief availability of iWork.com notwithstanding), but Apple is bringing it to the web in earnest today by revealing iWork for iCloud. The suite includes Keynote, Numbers and Pages, and each of the web apps preserves many of the same real-time editing features as its iOS and Mac counterparts. The collection officially supports Chrome, Internet Explorer and (logically) Safari, although you’ll likely be waiting awhile to try them: only developers get an iWork beta today, and a public beta is due later this year.
