iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 details leak ahead of WWDC

iPhone 6 Plus Space Gray-2

When Apple takes the stage at WWDC in early June, don’t expect the company to introduce major changes to iOS and OS X. 9to5Mac reports Apple is, for the most part, going to focus on making under-the-hood improvements, with particular emphasis on security, stability and performance. Think of this year’s update as more of a Snow Leopard-style update, which was more concerned with tightening up loose ends.

We already know some of the new features that are supposedly coming to iOS 9, including multi-window support, a new Home application, and the introduction of Apple’s font, San Francisco. On the desktop side, we haven’t heard much; however, 9to5Mac claims that rather than launching new features annually, Apple has decided to instead focus on making the OS as fast and secure as possible.

There might be a few new features, however. 9to5Mac says one of the biggest additions to OS X 10.11 will be Control Center, which is already found in iOS. The desktop implementation will reportedly come from the left side of the screen, and feature controls for music, AirPlay, and more. Apple has apparently been working on this feature for a while now, though 9to5Mac says Control Center could be pushed back. To when, we don’t know.

Meanwhile, Apple is said to be working on a number of security upgrades for both OS X and iOS, including a feature called Rootless, which is being described internally among Apple employees as “huge.” This feature will apparently provide unprecedented security, even preventing administrative-level users from being able to access protected files on Apple devices, 9to5Mac said. The Rootless feature is expected to be so big that it will “be a heavy blow to the jailbreak community.”

9to5Mac details some other features coming to iOS and OS X in its report, so check it out at the source link below. From a feature standpoint, the new updates sound like they’ll be disappointing, especially for anyone hoping for Apple to loosen up the customizability in iOS. From a developer standpoint, however, it sounds like both iOS and OS X are about to get even better.

We’ll find out everything at WWDC next month.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...

Grandia II confirmed for an HD re-release on Steam

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo GungHo Entertainment of America apparently has the results of its recent customer survey , and Grandia II  is the lucky winner scoring the first HD remaster out of it. The report comes to us through GameSpot where the company claims that the game was given “enthusiastic” support. Grandia II was originally released on the Dreamcast in 2000 to quite a large amount of fanfare, and it arguably remains the second most popular RPG on the console after Skies of Arcadia . I played the PlayStation 2 version in 2002 way back when, and I wasn’t too impressed. However, the Grandia franchise is also home to that classic style of JRPG storytelling that only gets better with age. Maybe I’ll have to dedicate some time to this cult classic whenever GungHo gets around to publishing it. President of GungHo America Jun Iwasaki chimed in on the response. “With the rise of digital downloads, it is especially important that classic g...

Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of  Star Wars: Battlefront , you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new  Battlefront has no class. I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield. In an interview with OXM , as summed up by the magazine’s sister site  Games Radar , Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style. Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that  Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that  Battlefield  offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn besi...
