Apple has released a new build of iOS 9.3 for the iPad 2 that likely fixes activation issues encountered by some users when updating. When updating to iOS 9.3 on older devices, users were asked to enter their Apple ID and password. However, if the user didn’t remember their password the device became stuck in an inactivated state.”Updating some iOS devices (iPhone 5s and earlier and iPad Air and earlier) to iOS 9.3 can require entering the Apple ID and password used to set up the device in order to complete the software update,” an Apple spokesperson told iMore. “In some cases, if customers do not recall their password, their device will remain in an inactivated state until they can recover or reset their password. For these older devices, we have temporarily pulled back the update and will release an updated version of iOS 9.3 in the next few days that does not require this step.”Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here

Apple has announced that its first original TV project is a non-scripted series about apps, reports the New York Times. The company is working on the show with entertainer Will.i.am and two veteran TV executives, Ben Silverman and Howard T. Owens.Details about the production are scant, and it was unclear how directly the show would promote or refer to Apple’s own app store. Executives declined to discuss specifics, such as financing, title, timeline, storylines, episode length or how people will watch the show.“One of the things with the app store that was always great about it was the great ideas that people had to build things and create things,” Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet software and services, said.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here

Apple’s new 4-inch iPhone SE offers some significant improvements in battery life, according to testing done by the WSJ. The device outlasts the iPhone 6s by over two hours and the Samsung Galaxy S7 by almost three hours.The standout news is battery life. Unlike many other recent Apple products, the iPhone SE’s is a significant improvement over its predecessors’. In my lab stress test, which cycles through websites with uniform screen brightness, the SE lasted 10 hours—more than two hours longer than both the iPhone 6s and iPhone 5s, and nearly three hours longer than the Galaxy S7.Of course, the iPhone SE has to power a much smaller screen; however, the extra battery life will surely be appreciated by customers.
