Uh Oh. So a bunch of people have lied to you, faithful iPhone user. They said that you could extend iPhone battery life by closing down background apps.
Apple’s senior vice president for software engineering, Craig Federighi, has confirmed that this piece of info is not true.
Just keep that brightness down, and put it on Airplane mode, yo!
But, if this is enough to push you over the Apple edge into the Android camp, we understand. Peace be with you, guy… and we’d love to buy that stinky old iPhone from you….
MacBook Airs were given a small but quite amazing revamp in time for WWDC 2013.
The new 11-inch and 13-inch notebooks use Haswell processers, which provide better overall performance and most importantly- increased battery life or ‘all day’ battery life as described by Apple.
The 11 inch MacBooks will increase from 5 hours of battery life to 9 hours and the 13 inch MacBooks will increase from 7 hours to a pretty amazing 12 hours of battery life. I know we just said Amazing to describe that, but we totally think it deserves an Astounding too. Simply astounding battery life!
The new MacBooks also come with 40% better graphics performance, and up to 3 times faster Wi-Fi capabilities with 802.11ac compatibility. 802.11ac is the newest Wi-Fi standard, but as it is not common yet, Apple also announced a new Airport Extreme that is compatible with 802.11ac.
The pricing has changed a little (for the better) with the narrowing hard drive options, as the 64 GB is not available with this update. The 11″ MacBook Air starts at $999 with a 128GB hard drive and the 13″ MacBook Air with a 128GB hard drive starts at $1099.
Available online and in retail stores as of today (yesterday officially, but a lot of stores actually started selling them today).
