Preview of iOS 10 Public Beta

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

iOS 10 is the biggest update to Apple's mobile operating system that's now celebrating it's 9th birthday.

Apple is making iOS 10 and macOS Sierra available as public beta. This is so the public can install the OS's and act as beta testers to help squash bugs and get a feel for what's coming. I don't advice anyone to install beta software, specially a device's operating system, on any device they use on a daily basis. That said, you can find out out more about Apple's Beta Releases here.

Review: iPod Touch (2015)

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

This isn't your daddy's iPod Classic. The new iPod Touch looks and feels like the last model released in 2012. It features the same 4-inch Retina Display and coloured aluminium rear casing. What's different is what Apple has managed to change on the inside.

We now have an updated Apple A8 processor which is the same as what the iPhone 6 offers. A new 8 megapixel iSight camera seriously boosts the iPod Touch picture and video taking capability by putting one of the most popular cameras in a new device. Thanks to sensor and processor, iPod Touch users can now shoot slo-mo video as well as burst-mode photos. Also onboard is the M8 motion co-processor which aids in tracking fitness.
