Universal Search will be one of the flagship features of Apple TV will be available in late October. The function will search the iTunes Store catalogs course, but also those of Netflix, Hulu, HBO and Showtime. Suffice it to ask such a film, such a series, an actor, a director or any query in relation to video content for Apple TV returns a search result on all these services. There will remain only the viewer to choose. But this feature is not limited to the handful of services, said Tim Cook in an interview some time ago to John Paczkowski, the latter had not yet unpacked everything (read: Apple thinks of a way to remove some preinstalled apps). Apple's CEO explained that the API on universal search would be open to all developers: we can therefore expect rapid adoption by other video services on demand. "I think many, many people will want to integrate universal search," said Cook. "And it's great for users," he explains, "Think about the experience today. Even if you are lucky enough to have the content you want in an application, you can not remember exactly where this series is, on Netflix, Hulu or Showtime. You should not have to do that. This should be simple. " Apple went even further in the refinements. The Apple TV will thus be able to specify that the first three seasons of a series are available on Netflix, the fourth is available for purchase on iTunes, and the fifth is available only on HBO. The Apple TV will specify each time whether the content is available on a service to which the user subscribes.

The Apple Watch is a versatile watch, but we did not think that it can also turn into game console. And yet, with a little trick, we manage to make it do what you want! During a hackathon, a small team of Israeli offices of Facebook has managed to enter shoehorns Doom in Apple Watch. To achieve this feat, developers have used nDoom, open-source version of the famous video game created by John Carmack which, ironically, is an employee of Facebook since the acquisition by the social network of Oculus. Hackers also had to imagine an invisible grid of 3 x 3 for controls; about the performance, so do not expect a miracle: the app displays image that if something moves in the game. Along the same lines, last June, we were able to appreciate the efforts of Hamza Sood and his Flappy Bird optimized for Apple Watch, or Adam Bell with this porting Canabalt...

One of the major shortcomings of the Apple Watch is its lack of customization. Apple provides a limited number of dials that can be modified at will. But it is a pity that, like other platforms, you can not download third party dials. With watchOS 2.0, Apple makes a little bit more diversity with particular photo dial. The site Apple Faces operates this possibility and offers to download wallpapers that are to watch dimensions. To benefit, just download them and store them in the album that you share with the Apple Watch. And voila almost. As soon as Apple Watch is synchronized, you just have to select the image you like in the photo dial.

The new Apple TV is unable to function in the state with more than two games simultaneously connected controllers, in addition to the remote control. Two editors have made the observation and reported to TouchArcade. This may not pose any problem to part of the clientele of the case, but it is a drastic constraint for playable titles between several people. With the SDK provided by Apple, one must use the supplied remote (it's a requirement) and two joysticks can be connected, but no more. If we try to connect a third lever, one of the first twinned disconnects immediately. No matter if one uses the same brand or different models, the result does not change. The tested accessories were also stamped MFi so approved by Apple. Both publishers surveyed by the site is lost in conjectures on the fact whether it is a bug, a temporary limitation of the kit that will disappear with the final version of the TV box or voluntary and clamping must. Still on the developers, some have received an email from Apple warning them that they were going they too receive their test Apple TV. Apple is well poised to expand the circle of editors equipped with this kit, pending marketing under the "end of October".

Overcast 2 available on the App Store and this excellent podcasts player adds a feature that was missing since launch: streaming. We can now read an episode immediately without having to download it first completely. By default, Overcast continue to download new episodes, only Wi-Fi. In the application preferences, you can still activate in cell loading, or switch to streaming only. In this case, the episodes are never downloaded unless you choose to do it manually. Playback begins however when you read an episode, whether or not charged locally. And if you read a streaming episode, it will be fully charged if the network is fast enough and then Overcast retain the file locally. Streaming two purposes: firstly, start playing any episode, without waiting for full download. On the other hand, saving the space occupied on a unit never downloading episodes locally. In this case, you need an internet connection to play an episode, it makes sense. If you want to completely block the use of the cellular network, it must pass through the iOS settings. Overcast 2.0 also integrates a dedicated screen space used by the episodes. One can thus find out which podcasts occupy the most space on the device and delete all episodes of a particular podcast. Where appropriate, the episodes are available, but streaming. This is not the only novelty, however. For iPhone 6s, there are Quick Actions from the Home screen to quickly start playback of podcasts recently listened and during playback, to pause or recommend the current episode. Furthermore, the chapters are properly cared for podcasts that support them. Finally, the sound effects were improved with this update. "Smart Speed", which automatically removes the white, works best with voice a little weak. "Voice Boost", which improves the volume to highlight the voices, has also been revised and it is better. One could also mention an option to read the priority podcasts rather than the latest in smart playlists of Overcast.

Apple today released on ResearchKit, its open-source platform that allows hospitals and health research to develop clinical trials open to users of the iPhone in the US, and since this summer in Britain and Hong Kong. New research has been launched on autism, epilepsy and melanoma. The first study on autism, Autism & Beyond was developed by Duke University and Duke Medicine. The application will benefit from the FaceTime camera of the iPhone to try to detect signs of developmental problems from an early age. The second study on epilepsy was developed by Johns Hopkins and operates the Apple Watch, a first. This is to determine whether the connected sensors can report shows the onset of a crisis and to measure the duration. A complication was designed for this purpose to allow the patient to not only alert near the onset of a crisis, but also to capture the "digital signature". Finally, Oregon Health & Science University studied melanoma via photos taken by an iPhone, which could be used to learn more about the development of moles and the risk of melanoma. This will be used to better document the changing moles and transmit them directly to healthcare professionals.

Apple is doing quite well in the lawsuit which opposes the WARF (Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation), the organization responsible for the management and protection of patents of the University of Wisconsin. On October 13, we learned that the manufacturer had been convicted of several offenses of university patents on A7 chips (read: Apple loses trial on the A7 processor, big fine view). However it was unclear what would be the damages owed by Apple. The WARF had raised more than $ 800 million, an amount reduced to nearly $ 400 million a few days later. Finally, the jury found that Apple has to pay $ 234 million to the organization. The manufacturer has decided to appeal this decision, while the complainant was obviously welcomed the verdict. But we have not finished to hear about it.

Although, broadly, Orange Cash recalls apple pay, there are several notable differences execution side. The most significant is perhaps that one can not use his bank account directly, as you would with a traditional payment card. To use Orange Cash, you must first credit the account or directly with a bank card (an optional charged € 0.79 every time, regardless of the amount added) or by bank transfer (it is then free ). To use the service, so you have to think about keeping the money in his account Orange Cash, alongside their usual bank account. It is binding, even if it has advantages, for example to recharge an account by another user without a RIB. Any credit card (French, VISA or MasterCard) or any other Orange Cash account can power the virtual piggy bank used by the service. When charging is completed, the operation is as simple as with apple pay. For amounts below € 20, simply ask the mobile terminal near the payment terminal to complete the transaction. For amounts greater than € 20, a four-digit code must be entered on the smartphone to pay. You can also use Orange Cash on the Internet: in this case, the service generates a temporary payment card to use on any site.

The iPad has been spoiled this year with several functions that are reserved for them, such as screen sharing or Picture in Picture allows to watch a video while doing something else. Apple has reserved these functions for tablets and larger screens. But in unleashing its iOS device, you can also benefit from these duties and in some cases they may even make sense. The Picture in Picture mode can be activated on any iPhone, using a new hack, currently in beta. As shown in these screenshots, we can enjoy them on the phone or by leaving small video at the bottom or top of the screen, or by masking the edges as you can do on an iPad. In this case, virtually the whole screen which remains free and you can return at any time to video.

There are some days on Weibo always appeared rumors of a Samsung interest in navigation principle that mixes a screen capable of detecting more pressure levels and suitable navigation interface. There is little doubt that Android manufacturers will eventually use a similar system, as Touch ID presented to date interest in fingerprint sensors in phones. Apple did not invent it but it did function in a transparent and efficient use in its execution. IPhone 6s have even given a boost to touch id with ultra fast read fingerprints. On October 6, the equipment manufacturer Synaptics introduced a new family of controllers ready for use. The most complete of them, the ClearPad 3700, and contains ClearForce SideTouch. ClearForce can be approximated to 3D Touch while SideTouch provides interaction with the side of the screen. Xiaomi already using one of the controllers of the 3700 series in its mi4c unveiled in late September. In this phone, only SideTouch enabled. It is renamed Edge Tap and allows scrolling the contents of the screen by sliding your finger on the edge of the phone. A light tap on this installment also can take a picture or to retrace his steps in the interface.

This is to test a way to relieve the queues and enable Genius to get on with other tasks. Three types of problems lead to the proposal: an iPhone that does not connect to iTunes; or whose start does not exceed the apple display, or an iPhone that will not turn on. It is a diagnostic software that will automatically load to decide if the phone meets these criteria and if the Genius can offer this intermediate solution to the customer. This formula will be tested in a few stores in Japan, Europe and the United States. It had also noted last week that Apple's partners, resellers as authorized repairers, now included in the Apple Store app. One way to suggest to clients that there is not the Apple Store in their service.

The future of television, it is the applications. Apple does not miss an opportunity to hammer its slogan, without thinking maybe this software would not be used only in salons. Although the App Store dedicated to tvOS regorgera of applications designed for the living room, some developers think of other uses. As evidenced by this application dedicated to restaurants, designed by Popina. This Parisian start-up specialized in the restoration and proposes a solution controls and full payment around Apple products. An iOS application allows servers to take orders, also with the floor plan and all the tables easier to organize the service and reservations. Popina also has all the necessary for a restaurant applications, from inventory management to employee salaries, through the transmission of orders in the kitchen and crates of payment.

If the iPhone low cost is "rented the iPhone", it is still possible to cheaply Apple smartphone in a more traditional way, ie by purchasing it very simply. PriceMinister currently offers the iPhone 5c repackaged "good status" for € 223 by entering the code PROMO 10 when ordering (€ 238 without the code).

Even if sold in good condition, a repackaged product may show signs of wear (read: iPhone 5c removed from storage of Groupon: between good and bad surprise).

Gradually, as we approach the launch of the iPad Pro, Apple is struggling to keep off the tap to indiscretions. Several European distributors have launched (and then canceled) their pre-orders, as now at Fnac and 9to5Mac reveals tonight some more information on the great tablet, supporting documents. First, the AppleCare teams have started their training to respond to calls for help first iPad Pro users. This training is scheduled to end Friday, November 6, which gives an idea of ​​the product's launch window that is supposed to take place early next month (Fnac announced November 12). In other news, Apple Pencil should receive a second charging means. The first is obviously connecting it to the Lightning port of the tablet, but his generosity, the manufacturer in the package slip an adapter to plug it in as a Lightning cable, the adapter integrates a female port.

You have trouble downloading an application this afternoon? This is normal: the App Store seems to have some hiccups and we noted several problems on our side. Can not use download codes or cards on the iTunes App Store, download an application on the Apple TV comes under the impossible mission. Even when it's done, you can not start games that require loading additional content ... In short, although Apple said nothing about it for now, the App Store is still partially down, at least for some users. If this is your case, it's time to take out the air, or dust off your game console ...

This is not the complete song that is proposed by listening to your friends, but a 30-second preview. To do this, simply copy the sharing of a single link or an entire album from one of the two services and we stick it in Facebook. Opposite, no need to have Apple or Spotify Music to listen to this music. Depending on whether one is single user or subscribed to one or other of these two services, one can buy the song / album or store it in one of its playlists. Later this sharing should also walk starting from playlists. It is also provided in a second with other streaming services become compatible with Music Stories. This is additional content that Facebook and try to capture as causes mainly takes place inside the app. Hard not to imagine that eventually the social network will offer its own music service instead of just these small excerpts, even shorter than those provided by iTunes. It has already launched the maneuvers to bring within its walls the big newspapers news content ...

The new type of web view introduced in iOS 9 is extremely convenient; since this is roughly an embedded version of Safari, we have access to almost all browser data and functions in third-party apps. Specifically, we no longer need to reconnect to the sites if it is already in Safari and benefits blockers content. But not all applications support this new web sight, named Safari View Controller. If Twitterrific and Tweetbot have adopted it, it is still not the case of the official Twitter client and nothing says that it soon will be, since Apple does not require (for now) developers spend. This is obviously not as fast as if one falls directly on Safari View Controller, but it is still practiced in some cases. For example, if you post a comment on a site from the web for the official Twitter client, it is faster to launch Safari View Controller (thus automatically re-establish your connection) than to manually enter your username and password passes or launch Safari. Unfortunately, Browsecurely extension does not appear every time. Facebook, in particular, uses a non-standard menu that sharing does not give access to iOS extensions. Other applications, such as Reeder, not shown for their not always all available extensions.

This application, which changes color according to the local time to rename the cities as you wish. For example, "Cupertino" can become "Apple Inc". The Quick Check feature, which can be launched from the home screen of iPhone 6s with rapid action, gives an overview of different times in the future. Convenient for those who are not good at mental arithmetic. Time Zones has a widget for Notification Center. One can choose to display all the cities or only part. Version 1.2 of the application that was recently released removes commercials and in-app purchase (€ 4.99) which was used to remove these ads. In fact, Time Zones becomes completely free. The developer explained that change by the fact that the ads were generating very little income and had originally created this app for personal use.

The iPad Pro is a great tablet, that's understood. One can do a lot of very serious things, like writing the minutes of meetings, filling out spreadsheets, create presentations or climb the corporate film. But we can also ... Play! On the big screen, we take full eyes, but the most physical games like Asphalt 8 quickly weigh on the arms. Small demonstration video. Incidentally, notice how speakers (there are four, one in each corner) are powerful. We perceive the vibrations like the iPad Air 2, but less pronounced on the iPad Pro. During the presentation of the iPad Pro, Apple's new tablet compared to the very first model launched in 2010: the iPad Pro is twice thinner than the iPad 1 (6.9 mm against 13.4 mm) but a little heavier (713 grams against 680 grams).

The Wall Street Journal recently stated that Apple would soon Pay allow an iPhone user to send money to another iPhone owner. Quartz today adds that transactions could be done via iMessage. Sources close to the case explained that this application is one of the most used on iPhone, especially by young people (this is the preferred instant messaging app 60% of American teenagers). According to the Wall Street Journal, the peer to peer transactions (apple pay would be directly connected to bank accounts) will be available later next year. Competition did not wait. Since last spring, Facebook allows its US members to send money via Messenger.
