In a few hours, Steve Jobs will take the stage at the Back to the Mac event in San Francisco to put some of Apple’s focus back on the Mac computers that started the Apple ball rolling so long ago.
After some confusing stop / start action, Apple released the iOS4.1 update late yesterday, addressing a number of iPhone 4 owner concerns, patching security holes, and adding some nifty new features.
Interpolating what is a very confused set of statements, it appears that Apple has plugged their security holes in iOS4 but not elsewhere, leaving some of their hardware open to highly publicized exploits.
There have been problems with the installation of iOS4 on some older devices, like the iPhone 3G. Given the limited benefits of the new OS on these older devices, is the upgrade really worthwhile?
Fire up Software Update because Apple’s got an important download for you. This maintenance release of the company’s popular WebKit-based browser offers important feature tweaks and fixes, including improved third-party plug-in stability (i.e. Flash) improvements.
Apple, which encountered some problems with the screens on its new 27-inch iMacs when first shipped, has issued a firmware update to deal with part of the problems being seen on those units.
Apple has updated their other computer lines recently, and has now added some additional oomph to the Mac Pro desktop line, with faster base level processors, plus more storage.
As is oft the case with software updates, it’s two steps forward and one back. With the just released Apple TV 3.0, users are reporting that upgraded units lose or are unable to play all of the content loaded on those machines.
When Mac OS X 10.6.2 comes out, the rumor is that the the new version of the Apple operating system will no longer run on the Atom processor, insuring that it can’t be used on certain netbook computers.
Apple is getting ready to upgrade the last remaining “old†member of the MacBook line, the basic MacBook, the last 13-inch model wearing the polycarbonate (plastic) shell.
