OS X Yosemite Includes Awesome Screen Recording Feature for iOS 8 App Previews

A function that hasn’t been discussed at WWDC, a screen-casting feature in OS X Yosemite will allow developers to create app previews to show their app in action by recording the movement on their Mac’s display. Described by Apple as short videos that showcase what’s great about an app, App Previews are meant to help users decide if they should download a certain app or not. “Customers can watch App Previews directly from your app details page in the App Store. App Previews are composed primarily of device-captured footage of your app to help customers make more informed download decisions,” the company explains.

It’s no news that Sony plans to launch its next flagship smartphone in September. The information was confirmed back in February during Mobile World Congress (MWC) trade fair by Sony Mobile’s Creative Director, Kurozumi Yoshiro, who said that the Xperia Z2 would be his company’s flagship device only for the first half of the year. One of the reasons that Sony Mobile plans to launch not one, but two flagship smartphones in just one year is market share.
