Don’t you just hate it when you spell something the right way but auto correct changes it to something else? That is about to change because of Apple.
Apple filed a patent for this a little bit ago and in this patent it showed us that Apple is working on a new feature maybe to come out in IOS 10. It works like this, when you send a text, whenever auto correct changes a word that you typed, your recipient will see the word underlined. Now that underlined work can be touched and when touched, a list of 3 words will pop up above that and those 3 words are suggestions of what Apple thinks that they might have meant instead of the word that it was changed to.
So now your friend can see when you type a word and it is spelled wrong and if their is a lot of misspelled words then they can see that and it actually could be embarrassing seeing how many words they spelled wrong especially if it was a word that is really easy to spell and they had to use auto correct for it!
Now what does this mean for Apple. If this is true and they come through with this then Apple is going to be a whole lot richer because now companies will have to pay Apple to use this feature because they patented it. I really hope they do stay with this idea because it could actually be very cool and not have anymore embarrassing mistakes when typing.

Since 2014, Apple has moved their WWDC registration from first-come-first-serve to a lottery system. In 2013, WWDC sold out in 70 seconds. In the years since that developers entered a random lottery, and they were selected to go. Your card is only charged when you are a confirmed winner.
This puts developers on common ground, which gives them all a fair chance to grab a ticket to this year’s conference. Apple stated that they are planning on sending winners notifications on 25 April, some people have already begun to see charges on their cards for $1,599. If you have not received a notification just yet, do not give up. Apple says that all attendees will be final at 17:00 (5pm) on Monday 25 April.
Along with the entry lottery, Apple is proving scholarships to 350 students and STEM organization members. Apple is also providing assistance for travel for up to 125 of its scholarship attendees with financial issues.
Be sure to stay with Currently Techie as we give you news and updates in the upcoming weeks. And go and check out our WWDC 2016 breakdown page.

So right out of the blue Apple came out and released a new MacBook. Nothing actually has really changed in which I am kind of disappointed by. I’m happy that they made it just a little bit better but they could have added a whole lot more than just a better processor and better battery life.
The new processors are now skylake which are expected to also see a debut on the new MacBook Pro that will become announced at WWDC 2016 this year. They all start at the same GHz but now they turbo boost 2 more GHz than the older model processors. It is an improvement but not that big of a improvement.
They somehow fit even more battery life into that tiny piece of thing. I can’t believe that they fit more in. Instead of about 7 hours of battery you are now going to get around 10 hours of battery life which is now on par with the MacBook Pro. They will probably implement the battery technology that they used on the MacBook into the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Pro will probably have a monster battery when it gets refreshed.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that you can now buy it in a new color which would be Rose Gold (pink).
I was expecting more from Apple like another USB-C port on it so you can charge it and use an adapter at the same time because I can see how it could be very annoying. I can’t believe they didn’t add it because that would have made everybody that has a MacBook (2015) would want to upgrade to the new MacBook (2016) just for the extra port and Apple would have made a lot more money to make up for the iPhone sales declining.
Apple announced the dates of WWDC ’16 today. That also means that the ticket lottery has started today. If you go, the price is $1,599 USD.
Things that are expected to come out at this year’s conference includes OS X 10.12 [Big Sur?] as well as iOS 10.
The “kickoff” event where all of the new features and the main keynote for releases is not taking place at Moscone west this year. It is taking place at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. All other sessions will be held at the Moscone West Center. The annual WWDC bash will be taking place at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium as well.
Features to OS X could include Siri on the Mac. Since the release of Siri back in 2011 it has been a dream of all Mac users to see the personal assistant implemented on Apple’s desktop operating system. A dedicated music app, and a few other features such as backing up your time machine recovery disks to iCloud are high up on the “likeliness list”.
iOS 10 could see a new “Rootless” system that is aimed at prevented even adminstrator level users from gaining access to certain file systems on the iPhone, iPad, or even Mac, but is expected to be able to disabled on OS X. It could make jailbreaking in the future a challenge for those of you who do. A new app on the home screen [great] could be the “Home” app. This would make all of your home automation appliances (The Internet of Things) through Apple’s HomeKit would be able to controlled from one app instead of separate apps such as “ADT” for your home alarm or “Wemo” for your light switches and outlets.
Not a lot is known about other things, and we will continue to look at the rumour mills.
