15% off Pro Audio Cables for June 2019 PrimeCables Birthday Sale

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

In the world of audio cables, there’s no shortage of options on how to equip your home entertainment system with sound. Outside of selecting the right speaker system or soundbar to use, audio cables play a key role in the quality of sound you receive. Even with the most high quality speaker there is, if you don’t have the right audio cable to pair it with, it could very well sound terrible.

 

There are several possible audio cable options in the PrimeCables catalogue, including HDMI cables which are ideal for both video and audio. Many Canadian households will choose HDMI cables as their audio cable and there’s nothing wrong with this. That said, HDMI cables are probably more advantageous to households with a high value on video quality. For upgraded audio, you may choose to go through another method.

What is the WWDC 2018 Keynote About?

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

WWDC 2018 Keynote
WWDC 2018 Keynote

Apple has made some huge announcements at this year’s WWDC. Here’s everything we know so far about the WWDC 2018 keynote announcements and the reverberations being felt throughout the tech community.

 

The annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) has long been a highlight event for Apple. This year marked one of the company’s biggest product launch keynotes of all time. To begin with, the iPhone App Store is approaching its tenth anniversary in July. A part of one of Apple’s fastest growing departments, CEO Tim Cook announced that cumulative developer earnings through the App Store will surpass $100 billion later this month.

 

To the more consumer-friendly announcements however in the WWDC 2018 keynote was the unveiling of an update to Apple’s iOS which powers its iPhones and iPads. The 12th version of its operating system is going to make devices faster, no matter how old your Apple product is, and is performance-focused. Also, Apple announced a new augmented reality (AR) file format that it’s calling USDZ and an augmented reality app known as Measure. It subsequently also revealed new, updated versions of AR software development tools to allow for further exploration in this category.

 

Apple’s Siri will also be getting some pretty extensive upgrades as well. Apple’s voice assistant is being increasingly opened to more app development. A new tool called ‘Shortcuts’ will allow developers to add personalized cues to Siri. Consumers can also create their own Siri workflows through the Shortcuts application. This significantly opens up the potential to use Siri to other purposes. Imagine tapping a single shortcut to pull up GPS directions to a predetermined location and to set up a text message to someone special that you’re on your way. There’s a lot of work that could be done with Siri in the months to come once this app is put into play.

 

Beyond the big announcements, there’s also plenty of smaller changes being made, including a new Stocks app to track financial events in the marketplace, a re-design of iBooks into ‘Apple Books’, and the support of third party apps in CarKit. The Do Not Disturb feature to turn off notifications when you don’t want them is also seeing some new features. Apple’s voice-calling app FaceTime is also allowing for up to 32 simultaneous participants and the ability to launch group calls from your messaging app.

 

These are just some of the key takeaways from the WWDC 2018 keynote and there are plenty others that we just didn’t have space to enter here. It will be very interesting to see how these apps, features, and changes are implemented, and the subsequent reverberations that are felt throughout the marketplace in the year to come.

What is iOS 12’s Release Date, News, and Features

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

Apple’s iOS 12 update is going to provide some big changes to the way users communicate, with features such as Grouped Notifications and Group FaceTime seeing big expansions. Applicable to both iPads and iPhones, the iOS 12 update is not the biggest software update that Apple has ever undertaken, no, however what it delivers will be of a high value for some.

iOS 12
iOS 12

 

When is the iOS 12’s release date – luckily to any interested parties, you may be able to test it out now. The iOS 12 developer beta is accessible now, as of June 4, though the final consumer version is still likely months away from being released. To access to developer beta, one must be a registered Apple developer which comes at a cost of $99 annually. Therefore, it may be best just to wait. If the rumours are true though, the wait won’t be too long. The public beta is likely to be released at the end of June, with the final iOS 12 update to be deployed to new iPhones sometime in September at the earliest.

 

There are a number of features said to be included in the iOS update including increasing the speed of older iPhones by up to 70% on certain tasks. Improved reliability and performance are two big bullet points that Apple is advertising for this upgrade. In addition, it will be one of the most wide-spanning operating system updates in recent memory, moving across iPhones and iPads of many different varieties. There’s the potential in the iOS update to use it for multi-player gaming, with demonstrations of LEGO, Fender, Adobe, and Pixar showing to all be working on augmented reality (AR) with the arrival of this update.

 

Group FaceTime will be expanded in the update to include up to 32 participants. The Photos app will include a more advanced search engine, suggestions on who to share photos with, and more. Siri is seeing more advancement, allowing users to assign phrases to tasks, to find keys, ETA notifications plugging into predetermined real-time actions, and a library full of pre-configured shortcuts. There are countless other applications that will see updates through the release of this operation system, including Apple News, Stocks, Voice Memos, CarPlay, and more. All in all, iOS 12 update is shaping up to bring more innovation to Apple products while simultaneously rectifying the limitations of the prior upgrade.

 

As we’re coming up on the release of the iOS 12 update, please feel encouraged to visit PrimeCables to pick up an Apple mobile phone charger at a fraction of the cost you would pay in-store. Enjoy free returns, a 1-year product guarantee on your Apple mobile phone charger purchase, and free shipping to anywhere in Canada on orders above $49.

USB-C to USB-A cables are not hard to come by. That said, having a high quality one can make all the difference in the world and having a few extra on hand ensures that, when you need it most, you always know where to grab one.

 

Prime Cables is a premiere Canadian brand specializing in cables and adapters for the computer, laptop, tablet, and smartphone market. For a limited time only, see a big price cut on the Palette Series 2.0 USB-C to USB A – Monoprice® – Black, 0.5ft available for $5.99. Supporting speeds of up to 480 Mbps, this USB-C to USB-A cable comes complete with a reversible design, will keep you connected, and has a tangle resistant braided nylon jacket. Even better, choose from different cable lengths according to your needs. We also have 3 ft. and 6 ft. in stock as well. If black isn’t your color, we also have the same cable in blue, white, red, purple, pink, green, and gray.

 

There are many advantages to this product, including none the more impressive than the tangle resistant braided nylon jacket. Why this is so important so because tangling gradually breaks down a cable. By having a design that is tangle-resistant, you can ensure that you get a little more life out of your wire. Also, if you have pets who like to chew on wires, the braided nylon jacket acts as additional protection towards any force trying to chew or cut through. There is no higher quality USB-C to USB-A cable available in Canada. Better yet, combine it with other items and meet the threshold of $49 to receive free shipping to anywhere in Canada.

 

The Monoprice Palette Series of USB-C cables are among the industry standards and we are proud to be able to offer their products at a reasonable cost to the consumer. Throughout the past decade, Prime Cables has been serving Canadians with unbeatable deals on cables. Connect your USB-C PC or Mac to any of the USB devices you have around the house. The nature of a reversible cable also means that it can adapt depending on what you need it for. No matter how you plug it in, it will work to sync, charge, and connect every time. This USB 2.0 cable supports up to 5 VDC, 2.4A of charging power.

 

For a USB-C to USB-A cable that you can depend on, go with Prime Cables today and grab them before they are gone!

What is USB Type C 3.1 Cable?

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

USB Type-C 3.1 is the most advanced and newest version of the USB standard cable in the Canadian marketplace today. For connecting computers, electronic devices, and mobile devices, there is nothing that comes with more speed and power than USB Type-C 3.1.

 

To see truly how powerful the USB Type-C 3.1 cable is, know that it has a data transfer speed up to 10 Gpbs. Though 3.1 is commonly associated with Type-C connector types, it also has the capability to use a variety of other types, as needed. That said, in order to achieve the connection speeds and power advertised, one must have a host connection and device that supports USB 3.1.

 

USB has long been a reliable port standard throughout the years and its performance has gradually progressed over time, getting better and better. Those tasked with overseeing its development is known as the USB Implementers Forum, a coordinated group of members from Intel, Microsoft, Apple, and other companies. USB 3.1 is the latest version of the USB standard and most devices that have come out into the marketplace in the last year are all compatible with it. The vast majority of consumers, particularly those using devices manufactured before 2014, USB 2.0 is probably what you are saddled with.

 

It does bear noting that USB 2.0, USB 3.1, etc. do not affect the shape of the ports on the computer or on the cable. USB 3.1 refers to the technology inside the cable. USB 3.1 devices and computers are actually able to accept Type-A plugs (rectangular) and Type-B (square-shaped). There are also smaller plugs, such as those found on Mini-USB and Micro USB which may or may not be compatible. Depending on what device being used, there may be specific cables or adapters that can be used to help increase charging speeds and transfer speeds. The best advice that one can receive is to do their research into the make and model of the phone to determine what the best cable is.

 

2017 and beyond has been met with primarily Type-C ports which have found their way into tablets and smartphones being sold to market. Type-C is a much smaller size and provides a reversible design as well that can be handy depending on the cable you have. Though some of these ports are equipped with USB 3.1 acceptance, not all are.

 

USB Type-C 3.1 is the most advanced USB cable on the market and if you’re one of the lucky ones to be able to have its full functionality, take advantage of it. For all of your computer, laptop, tablet, and smartphone cable needs, browse Prime Cables’ catalogue today.
