Apple News: iOS 8, iPhone 6, Beats

Apple's iOS 8 is likely to bring split-screen multitasking to the iPad, reports 9to5Mac. The option would allow iPad owners to use two apps simultaneously on a single screen in landscape. Below is a video you can watch showcasing the latest concept for iOS 8.

Another video has surfaced, comparing the upcoming iPhone 6 to the current iPhone 5s. The iPhone 6 mockup appears to me much thinner than the iPhone 5s. The mockup measures at approximately 7mm thick, while the iPhone 5s is thicker at 7.6mm. Other distinct features of the potential iPhone 6 are its iPad like curved edges, and the new position of the sleep/wake button which appears to be on the right side of the device. Of course, these features reassemble a similar description of the iPhone 6 in the Japanese Magazine Macfan. No one knows if these are the true specifications of this fall's iPhone 6 release. Below is the video comparing a potential iPhone 6 to the iPhone 5s:

Lastly, as reported this past week, Apple has bought the company Beats Electronics. Music industry veteran Jimmy Iovine is believed to be the primary target in Apple's rumored acquisition of Beats Electronics. For those wondering, Apple will likely assume leadership of the company, but keep the Beats brand independent.
