Shazam, the music identification service, is now ingrained in Siri’s make-up, and if you wish to identify a song using the voice assistant, simply use the command “What’s that song playing?” ” what song is this ? ” ” what is this tune ? ” “What is currently playing?”  “Name that tune.”

Now you don’t need to open your shazam or other music identification service app to search for that song you heard on the radio while you are driving , your local bar , coffee place or anywhere at anytime .

Just Ask SIRI !

Apple has posted a new tool that lets you deregister your phone number from iMessage.

You may need to turn off iMessage if you are now using a non-Apple phone and can’t get SMS or text messages someone sends you from an iPhone.

The tool resolves an issue with Apple’s messaging system that manifests when switching from iOS to another operating system while keeping the same number. Often Apple’s system doesn’t recognize that your number is no longer associated with an iOS device. Consequently, messages from other iOS users are still sent via iMessage, which can’t be received on the new device, resulting in a large number of unreceived SMS messages.

Thankfully, you can now input your number into this form to deregister it from iMessage.

i love this function ! try it out if you have the new iphone6 and iphone6plus .

When Apple first moved away from the original 3.5-inch iPhone screen size with the iPhone 5’s 4-inch display, the company made sure to keep the device narrow enough to facilitate one-handed use. Now, with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models set to release next week, sheer physics called for compromises, but with a bit of hardware and software modification, Apple was able to keep the larger iPhones fairly user friendly.

The most obvious tweak is a relocated sleep/wake button, which has moved from the top right of the device to the right-hand edge. By shifting the button further down the phone’s body and closer to the user’s thumb, it can be reached without forcing a change in grip.
As presented onstage by Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus also have special gesture support in iOS 8 called Reachability. Adding to the “swipe-left, swipe-right” gestures already available in iOS 7, Reachability’s trick is a double-tap on the Touch ID-equipped home button, which drops the user interface down closer to the thumb.

tapping — not pressing — twice on Touch ID pulls the active display area closer to a user’s hand, allowing them to reach the top of webpage panes, icons and other graphical assets.

Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint sensing technology incorporates a high-density pixel-based sensor, meaning it can be used for more than just reading biometrics. Movement, presses and taps can all be recognized by the home button, as is the case with Reachability.
