Weekly Roundup: Get a handle on iOS 7 and ARM64

Aaron Brethorst • September 28, 2013

Now that iOS 7 is in the hands of consumers, and the NDA has been lifted, I've seen an incredible amount of awesome, new information coming out about everything from the inner workings of the new ARM64 architecture to what's new in iOS 7. Make sure you read through our links below.

Above and beyond that, minus a couple high-profile and surprising exceptions, I've been very pleased by the quality of the iOS 7 apps I've seen released into the App Store over the past week. It's a bummer...

Weekly Roundup: iPhones 5c and 5s

Aaron Brethorst • September 21, 2013

Happy new iPhone to you all! I ordered a iPhone 5s from Apple early morning on Friday, but unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to get in before shipping stretched out to 7-10 business days. (I ordered the 32GB Space Gray, in case you're curious.) So, I thought, "what the heck," got into my car, and drove over to the AT&T store at the Pacific Place mall in downtown Seattle.

Weekly Roundup

Aaron Brethorst • September 07, 2013

Happy iPhone week! It's expected that Apple will be announcing the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C on the 10th, along with either the iOS 7 GM or a date for its release. I'm excited to see the hardware Apple will be releasing, but I'm even more excited to see what you all have been working on for iOS 7. I'm sure it's going to be awesome.

Best,
Aaron
