Apple Releases iOS Update That Fixes Streaming Audio, Video Issues

Apple Releases iOS Update That Fixes Streaming Audio, Video Issues
07/05/2012 by Randy Nelson for Tecca on Mashable

If you’ve been having trouble with AirPlay on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, help has arrived. Apple has released an update to its mobile operating system that fixes problems related to streaming your audio and video to supported devices, in addition to correcting a few other small issues.

Version 5.1.1 of iOS addresses AirPlay playback problems, fixes a fickle HDR photo option when activating the camera app from the iPhone and iPod touch lock screen, makes syncing bookmarks and reading lists from mobile Safari more reliable, and takes care of problems some iPad users were having switching from 2G to 3G networks. It also banishes a rare error message that could crop up after making purchases from the App Store.

If you’re already using iOS 5, which came pre-loaded on the iPhone 4S and the new iPad, it’s possible to update to the latest version without connecting your phone, tablet or iPod to your computer. That’s thanks to iOS 5′s new over-the-air update feature. Still, it’s recommended that you plug your device into a charger to prevent its battery from dying mid-update.

What will the next iPhone look like? Recent iPhone rumors have suggested it might be made of futuristic material known as LiquidMetal. That got us wondering how such a handset might appear.

Enter designer Antoine Brieux, who took the idea of a LiquidMetal iPhone to the next level, visualizing it for us in these lovely graphics.

His flight of fancy replaces the physical home button with a virtual one, gives the iPhone a slightly larger size than earlier rumors predicted, and depicts the iPhone as a slinky, sexy and mysterious siren in these gorgeous renderings.

Do you think this is getting close to capturing the appearance of the next iPhone? Let us know in the comments.

iPad 3: Who Will Buy One, and Why? [INFOGRAPHIC]

iPad 3: Who Will Buy One, and Why? [INFOGRAPHIC]

6 hours ago by Charlie White

How well will the iPad 3 sell when it’s introduced next month? Who’s going to upgrade, and who will sit on the sidelines, enjoying their current version of the iPad, or no iPad at all? We have answers to those questions and more in this exclusive infographic created by the experts at AYTM Research (Ask Your Target Market), with help from Mashable.

The official introduction of the iPad 3 is bearing down upon us, with most rumors placing the Apple press event on March 7 (and a little rumor we heard placing it on March 6). It’ll probably have a higher-resolution 2048×1536 “retina” display, a 1GHz quad-core Apple A6 processor, 4G connectivity, and it might have a few other surprises, too.

Until we can lay eyes on the real thing, let’s take a look at this infographic, which deals with who’s going to upgrade, and what people expect to do with the iPad 3.

To get this data, researchers at AYTM conducted two surveys, with questions we assisted in developing. One was of 2,000 Americans who don’t own an iPad, and the other questionnaire queried 500 iPad owners. Both were conducted this month. Here’s AYTM’s full interactive stats report for the iPad owners part of the study.
