Remember OnLive? Originally founded by software inventor and engineer, Steve Perlman, the cloud services company is now overseen by acting CEO and COO, Charlie Jablonski, delivering some of the latest and greatest console-grade titles to users around the world, via a socially-connected, subscription-based streaming platform.
Engadget shares tonight a reported image of (what appears to be) a Logitech-branded iOS gamepad. Presumably designed for Apple’s iPhone 5, from what we can see the accessory has a middle cut-out just big enough for the mobile device to connect to the controller’s physical “D-pad” in landscape orientation.
Perhaps arriving as yet further evidence that the designs of those stock icons seen in iOS 7 may not be ‘set in stone,’ our friends over at 9to5Mac were earlier today able to capture a screengrab of (what could be) an alternative set of stock iOS 7 icons.
In an exclusive report, The Next Web is claiming that “sources” it has spoken with have confirmed that the version of iOS 7 unveiled by Apple on Monday is a ‘work in progress,’ adding that – (despite wide belief that he did) – Jonathan Ive was not responsible for the design of the stock icons you see on the default iOS 7 homescreen.
In a rather interesting turn of events, MacRumors is reporting this afternoon that Daring Fireball‘s (usually, well informed), John Gruber, has hinted that at least one of the sources he has been talking with over the last several weeks claims that all the “leaks” we’ve seen pertaining to Apple’s next version of iOS, thus far — are “wrong.”
There’s a good chance that not every feature Apple may introduce with the next iteration of its mobile operating system, will work on all of the iOS devices available on the market, today. In fact, it’s now almost gospel that each time Apple does release a new version of iOS, the company’s older-generation devices – (in terms of supporting the new OS’s “flagship” features) – are often left out of the foray.
Retailers such as BestBuy and Target have each offered “trade-in” programs on Apple’s iOS devices for some time now. Apple itself offers the ability for those in the U.S to trade-in their used iPhones and iPods online through its official website, but has never offered the ability to do this in-store.
Accessories manufacturer, GumDrop, has reportedly put into production 15,000 new protective cases designed for iPad 5, in the hopes that Apple will announce the next-generation device at this year’s Worldwide Developer Conference.
