This blog looks best here , on Kyle Wilkinson Online

Yesterday Apple hosted a special awards cemonry in their New York office. This was not a public event and was not live streamed. The following day Apple publicly announced on their Newsroom several awards including for the first time Apple Music awards.

Apple have also released on the App store, Charts for the best games of 2019 and another for the best apps. As well two new articles have been released on the store displaying the trends of games including blockbuster revivals with games like Minecraft Earth and Mario Kart Tour. 

This year Apple also announced their first ever Apple music awards. Announcing Billie Eilish as the global artist of the year with Lizzo being the breakthrough artist of the year. Apple music’s song of the year was “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X.  Billie Elish will be performing on a live stream at the Steve Jobs Theatre on December 4th 18:30 PST or 02:30 GMT 5th December. 

I know Apple Arcade has only been around for two months so it does seem weird that they have done an award for it but Sayonara Wild Hearts 100% deserves it, even now I can’t stop playing it and now the soundtrack is available on Apple Music, I can’t stop listening to it either.  

Serif Labs are another great win, I’ve read a lot of reviews about their professional apps which are slowly taking professionals away from Adobe Creative cloud because they don’t want to pay monthly for the applications. Something that may worth considering for me soon as times move. 

See you next week where I have a non-Apple post planned.

Hands On WatchOS 6 - An Opinion

Good morning, Along with iOS 13, Apple announced WatchOS 6 at WWDC. The Apple Watch is one of my favorite Apple products. This year they announced several new features and below I talk about some of the new upcoming features with the Update. New Watch faces This year we see 5 new watch faces join us, These are Solar Dial, Gradient, California, Numeral Duo / Mono and Modular compact. My personal favorite watch face to use is the Infograph modular. It’s so useful being able to see this much information all from my wrist and I use it all the time because of that I can see the Modular compact being the most useful for me out of the new watch faces. This new face allows either an analogue or digital clock along with 2 circular complications and one big complication at the bottom that is similar to the one of the Infograph modular. For those of you who love to simply look at the time on your wrist the Gradient and Numerals Duo / Mono will be great for you. They both only te...

My First 10 parkruns at 10 different parkruns.

This post looks better on Kyle Wilkinson Online - Check It out here ->   https://www.kylewilkinsononline.com/post/my-first-10-parkruns-at-10-different-parkruns This week I’m writing a slightly different post. It’s all about parkrun, if you haven’t already heard of it it’s where you complete a 5K organized timed run for free and last year I finally completed my first 10, at 10 different locations. This little post is my journey on my first 10 parkruns. 1.       Blackpool (32:35) I actually did my first parkrun all the way back in 2017 in what the most northern parkrun is currently I have done. I got a time of 32:35 and the main reason I did it was to prove a point. You do not need to buy special clothes to do running. So yes, I wore a T-shirt and a pair of black jeans whilst doing this run. I didn’t think it was too bad. The biggest irony of it is since this I have in fact purchased running shoes, a pair of shorts and a running t-shirt....

iOS 13 - Hands on! (An opinion)

Good evening,  This is my hands on write up of iOS 13. At the moment I have iOS 13 Developer Beta 01 installed on my iPhone X and have been running it for about a week and a half, First let’s look at the key new features. You can check out my gallery of screenshots at the bottom of the post. Dark Mode The one everyone has been asking for, In my opinion dark mode took so long to arrive because of Apples key eye to detail. Every screen, every button and every character has been redesigned and optimized to look its best for the greatest mobile operating system in the world. As you can see in the pictures below the dark mode is applied system wide and can be easily configured to come on automatically with sunset and sunrise or it can be manually triggered in the control center in the same place as you would for Night Shift or True Tone. Reminders Reminders was completely rebuilt from the ground up! With a new more organized home screen. The app automatically groups y...
