Wrong Product Image

TUAW or The Uninformed Apple Weblog has done it again. Michael Grothaus uses the wrong AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule image on the recent post. The post contains the current 802.11ac models of AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule while referencing to the 802.11n AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.4.

It wouldn’t be a big deal for the product image mix-up if not for a site that called itself “The Unofficial Apple Weblog” and not knowing Apple Product.

TUAW clueless about Apple AirPort Model

Now, these are the correct images for 802.11n AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule:

AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.6.4

Apple has released AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.6.4.

This update is available for all Apple 802.11n Wi-Fi base stations including AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, and AirPort Time Capsule. It contains fixes that:

  • Resolve an issue that may cause AirPort Time Capsule to report that the backup disk is in use
  • Resolve an issue that may cause an IPv6 Tunnel error
  • Resolve an issue that may intermittently cause a loss in Wi-Fi connectivity with iOS devices

Note: This firmware update is for all 802.11n AirPort base stations.

One of the Time Capsule I have been using was having issues with some iOS devices. I hope this update would fix the issue.

Uncommon Sense, iOS 7 beta and App Reviews

Apple is expected to release iOS 7 sometimes in Fall 2013. So far, five beta builds of iOS 7 have been seeded to developers. A lot of progress have been made since the first iOS 7 beta was released. The first iOS 7 beta had a lot of known issues. Apple has been fixing the issues with consequent beta builds. With iOS 7 beta 5, there are still some relatively major issues and the are expected to be fixed I’m the upcoming betas.

Developers are expected to work on their existing Apps to ensure compatibilities with iOS 7. Since iOS 7 is still in beta, developers cannot submit Apps created using iOS 7 SDK beta at this time. Thus existing Apps are likely to be incompatible with iOS 7 beta.

There are a lot of people who should not install iOS 7 beta on their devices in the first place. That’s because they installed iOS 7 beta for all the wrong reasons. They left reviews for Apps at the App Store complaining that the Apps do not work with iOS 7 beta. It is obvious that these people are not developers and do not have common sense at all.

Apple should crack down on this type of review on the App Store and delete them. Furthermore, Apple should temporarily ban their account from posting any reviews until iOS 7 is released publicly.
