Apple has revised its World Travel Adapter Kit, which includes plugs for the differing electrical systems around the world. The new package sees a price drop of $10, and is now priced at $29. Changes in the new version include the addition of a new plug type for Brazil known as a \"type N\" adapter, but the dropping of a formerly-included USB cable and power adapter. <\/p>\n
Mac and iOS power adapters can generally handle the different voltages of the varying world standards, but use a \"duck head\" removable plug which can be swapped out with any of the new electrical adapter plugs. The new kits should be available in most worldwide Apple Store locations, with other dealers also able to order and carry them. <\/p>\n
Maps adds Flyover views to nine cities in US and abroad <\/p>\n
Apple on Tuesday added 3D Flyover support to nine additional cities around the world, bringing the \"flight-perspective\" views of the cities to its Maps program. The list includes Linz, Austria; Rennes, France; Venice, Italy; Guadalajara, Mexico; Ponce, Puerto Rico; Edinburgh, Scotland; Cceres, Spain; and two cities in the US: Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Boise, Idaho. The new changes are being populated to servers, and may not show up on all devices just yet. The Flyover feature debuted in iOS 8, and has proven to be popular with Maps users. <\/p>\n
