How to attach photos to emails in iOS 10

How to attach photos to emails in iOS 10

In today’s world of Facebook, Snapchat, and iMessage, there are no shortage of ways to share photos with friends or family members. But sometimes, email is still the easiest, more straightforward approach. After all, email is ubiquitous in a way that other services—even widely used ones—aren’t: If you’re online, you almost assuredly have an email address. With that in mind, here’s how to attach photos to your emails in iOS.

From the Photos app

Select your photos then tap the Sharebutton to get to the photo emailing feature.

Go into an album, tap the Select button in the upper right corner, then tap the photos you want to email. Tap the Share button—the box with an arrow pointing upward in the lower left corner—tap Mail, then compose your email as you normally would. Once you’re done, tap Send then select which size images you’d like to send. Once you do that, your email and photos will get sent on their way.

From the Mail app

Of course, if you’re already composing an email, you probably won’t want to back out to a different app and start over. From the New Message screen, tap and hold your finger (but not too hard—this isn’t a 3D Touch function) anywhere in the message’s body until a menu pops up, and look for the “Insert Photo or Video” option. You may need to tap the arrow button to expose the option. A photo picker will come up: Tap a photo, then tapChoose. This method only allows you to attach one photo at a time, so you’ll have to repeat the process to attach multiple photos.

Attaching a photo to an email via iOS’s Mail app requires using a fiddly pop-up menu.

Once you’re done, hit Send and select an image size.

And that’s all there is to it. Happy emailing.

Apple Music in iOS 11 could put video front and center

Apple Music is a work in progress, and with iOS 11 Apple plans to revamp its $9.99 per month streaming service once again—this time to make video a more prominent feature.

According to Bloomberg, the redesign reflects Apple’s big bets on video. Apple’s video plans span from the previously announced (and since delayed) “Carpool Karaoke” to a potential sequel to the classic R. Kelly hip hopera “Trapped in the Closet” to feature-length documentaries—Apple just won exclusive rights to Sean “Diddy” Combs’ documentary Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: A Bad Boy Story, produced by LiveNation. A show about Dr. Dre has been discussed. Producer Brian Grazer and director J.J. Abrams are brainstorming ideas. About 10 new original series are scheduled to debut on Apple Music this year.

Apple has deep pockets and an A-list network to tap into. But so do other companies, like Netflix and Amazon. Where Apple can differentiate itself is its musical roots, which date back to the launch of iTunes 14 years ago, and the vision of longtime record executive Jimmy Iovine, who joined Apple when the company acquired his Beats headphones and streaming service in 2014. Iovine now leads Apple Music and has a staff of 300 working on every aspect of the business, which now extends to video.

Spotify has also ventured into original video content with about a dozen TV series, but none have taken off. Video isn’t easy to discover or watch in the Spotify app, though the company launched its video feature two years agowith great fanfare (and a little help from “Broad City” stars Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson).

According to Bloomberg, Iovine originally pitched Beats to Netflix as a potential acquisition, but the streaming giant reportedly told Iovine it wasn’t ready to move into music. If Apple nails video, making its exclusive content of the same caliber as Amazon and Netflix while also making it easy to find and watch, it could create the first successful music and video streaming service.

But we’re still waiting to see if “Carpool Karaoke” is any good. The James Corden-hosted show was reportedly delayed from its April launch date because the series isn’t finished yet. There’s no official word yet on when that show and the will.i.am. reality series “Planet of the Apps” will premiere.

Apple to announce new Macs at a special event October 27

Journalists will gather in Cupertino next Thursday for the "Hello again" special event, where Apple is expected to announce a redesigned MacBook Pro.

It’s official—the wait for new Macs shouldn’t be much longer. Apple just sent out invites to journalists to a product unveiling at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino. The event will take place next Thursday, October 27, at 10 a.m. Pacific.

Naturally, the invitation doesn’t specify what Apple will announce—the tagline is simply “Hello again.” Smart money is on updated Macs, since nothing but the 12-inch MacBook has been updated this year. Rumors have been swirling that Apple is prepping an update to the MacBook Pro line, which will include a set of touch-sensitive OLED keys to replace the function row along the top of the keyboard, allowing those keys to change based on the application you’re using.

The other rumor is new ports: Apple may be ditching standard USB-A ports for USB-C. This would match Apple’s approach for the MacBook, which has a single USB-C port for charging and connectivity—although we hope the MacBook Pro would have three or four, and it should get Thunderbolt 3 (which uses the same port type) too. The lack of USB-C peripherals and docks was a problem when the MacBook first launched in 2015, but since then the ecosystem has matured, and finding adapters and docks is easier. (And it better have a headphone jack!)

The MacBook Pro design hasn’t changed in years. 

As with any redesign, we expect Apple to go thinner and lighter. The trackpad will probably get bigger, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the new MacBook Pro got the lower-travel butterfly-mechanism keyboard found on the MacBook line. Apple has never included Touch ID in a Mac before, but now that Sierra supports Apple Pay on the Web, adding a Touch ID button could let you authorize payments without needing an iPhone or Apple Watch handy—as well as let you log in more securely, of course.

What about the rest of the Mac lineup, though? According to the very handyMacRumors Buyers Guide, all of Apple’s computers could use a refresh. The MacBook Air lineup was last refreshed in March of 2015, although Apple did bump the base-model MacBook Air to 8GB of RAM this past April. The Mac mini got its most recent upgrade, to a Haswell processor, way back in October 2014. The long-neglected Mac Pro (last updated December 2013) might be headed for the history books, but Apple’s other desktop option, the iMac, has gone a full year without an update too. Apple has been rumored to be working on a 5K display with its own GPU to replace the discontinued Thunderbolt Display, as well as new iMacs, so if those are ready, perhaps we’ll see them on stage next week.

We’ll be in Cupertino next Thursday to bring you the news as it happens, and Apple also plans to live stream it. Have you been holding out for a new Mac? Let us know what you’re hoping to see in the comments.
