Rumors and Misdirections: Apple October 16, 2014 Special Event

Apple It's been way too long

On October 16, 2014 Apple will be announcing the followings:

  • OS X Yosemite release date
  • New iPad lineup
  • Apple Pay deployment
  • iOS 8.1

Apple is also rumored to announce:

  • New Macs
  • New Apple TV

This might be a misdirection from an Apple source, but it is too good to not mention:

  • New product with touch interface

There are a lot of cryptic information from firstnameatappledotcom to process, and some of them I won’t even mention here.

Apple It's been way too long

Apple has sent invites for October 16, 2014 special event subtitled: “It’s been way too long.” The event will be held in Apple HQ in Cupertino, California.

John Paczkowski first broke the news on Re/code (recode.net) five days before Apple officially sent out the invitations.

Apple is expected to unveil the next iteration of iPad along with the public release of OS X Yosemite on this special event.

Now, will Apple be live-streaming the event? The September 9, 2014 event live-stream practically impossible to watch.

Junk in the iTunes App Store

As of September 9, 2014 Apple announced that there are 1.3 million apps in the App Store. Pretty sure the 1.3 million figure include the junk in the App Store.

I was re-downoading XCOM: Enemy Unknown on my iPad, and I saw an app titled:

GamePRO – X-COM Enemy Within Edition

XCOM in the App Store

I had a hunch, so I checked out this “GamePRO – X-COM Enemy Within Edition” app. My hunch was right; this is a junk app.

The reviews shows that this app is completely misleading.

This “developer” seems to have a lot of apps published in the App Store. All of them are complete junk.

Info on they “developer”:

Junk App Michelle Bernardo IngeniusGames_com

This is what IngeniusGames.com look like:

IngeniusGames_com

It is a WordPress site with sample contents from the theme. I wonder how Apple App Store Team approved any apps from this so called developer?

If you see this kind of misleading, scummy junk apps, please report it to Apple.
