- Apple didn’t want to be distracted from the release of the iPhone 7 and quietly updated its macOS page with a release date , as it was revealed by Apple World Today . The final “gold workshop” version of the OS is available right now for beta testers and developers. [Apple World Today and 9to5Mac]
- According to other Apple news, it will only cost $ 9 to replace the Lightning to 3.5mm headphone adapter . At least that’s how it is. Cheap is good. [Apple Store]
- DirecTV subscribers can now stream virtually all TV channels through the iOS app. TV services greatly expand their offerings for mobile devices to include just about anything you can watch at home, including shows you’ve saved on your DVR. You can even download them for offline viewing. [The Verge]
- There were a few funny bugs with today’s Apple announcement (funny anyway if they’re ingrained in tech news minutiae). First, Amazon accidentally unveiled its iPhone 7 accessory store even before Apple even announced the new phone, and Apple itself tweeted a video of it before Tim Cook showed off the device, now removed . Twitter is hard!
- But you may not need an iPhone at all. The only “I” that matters is you. [Gizmodo]
