Apple invites families to create and learn at Apple Camp sessions around the world

Now in its 20th year, Apple Camp returns in person with a new two-hour format for families, giving participants the chance to create their own digital comic book about protecting and celebrating the planet. Parents and guardians can register now at apple.co/apple-camp.

“We can’t wait for campers and their families to ignite their imaginations as they learn from our team members and each other during Apple Camp,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail + People, in a statement. “This special program has provided a space for connection and learning in our stores around the world for the past 20 years, and we’re thrilled to be hosting these experiences again.”

This year, Apple Creative Pros will lead a new camp activity — Art Lab: Comic Book Adventure with Your Family. After dreaming up a story about protecting the planet, campers and their families will take an iPad outside to find inspiration in their surroundings. Participants will use iPad Pro and Apple Pencil to take photos and add drawings, speech bubbles, and stickers to design their very own heroic stories.

Apple Camp is designed to engage kids ages 8 to 12 alongside their parents or guardians. The sessions will take place in stores and outdoors, and give participants the opportunity to learn from Apple’s experts and each other. Curious campers can participate in this family adventure with devices provided at the sessions.

The Camp Field Guide includes 20 creative at-home activities for iPad, and is available to download worldwide.

We've all been there.  You're in an argument with someone while texting, and you type the "F" word, only for it to change into the word "DUCK".  No matter how many times you type it, it'll still come up with the word Duck.

Developer’s Tip: How to obtain and install iOS 16 on a development device

Editor's Note: This tip is for new registered Apple Developers only.  Apple does offer a public beta of iOS 16.  For more information, go to Apple.com.

While most developers know this little trick, some don't, and I find this way to be the easiest to get up and running with iOS 16 quickly.

In order to do this, you must be a member of Apple's Development section.  You can get more information about this at https://developer.apple.com/

Just follow these steps:

  1. On an iOS device, go to https://developer.apple.com and sign in with your name and password.
  2. Tap Downloads.
  3. Make sure you're in the Beta section of the web site.
  4. Scroll down until you see iOS 16 Beta, and tap on the Install Profile button.
  5. A Beta end user license agreement message will pop-up.  READ IT CAREFULLY!
  6. Agree or Disagree.  If you disagree with it, stop reading here.
  7. Another window will pop-up double checking if you wish to download the profile.
  8. After that, the profile downloads to the device.
  9. The device must reboot to make sure its available for the next steps.
  10. After the device has rebooted, go to SettingsGeneralUpdate Software.
  11. The iOS 16 profile is now installed and you should be able to install it from here.
  12. The actual install may take some time. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE INSTALLATION OR YOU'LL BRICK THE DEVICE.
  13. That's it. 

As of this writing, iOS 16 is in Beta #1.
