Architosh recently introduced their "Ultimate iPad Guide: Apps for Architects 2.0 (Wave 1)" which updates and expands upon the original "Ultimate iPad Guide." This is the most comprehensive listing and summary of the best apps for the iPad and the architectural community. Anthony Frausto-Robledo AIA, LEED AP should be commended for his hard work in curating the guide and Apple for Architects highly recommends checking it out.
Architects work in imagery. They are either designing it, documenting it or photographing it. For that last one, the tool that many architects now use is their iPhone.
With the recent updates to the Apple's operating systems, iOS 8 on the iPhone and OS X 10.10 or "Yosemite" for the Mac, there are many new and or revised features that affect how architects use these tools.
Austin Mann is a professional photographer and has complied an extensive list in an article title, "Yosemite + iOS 8.1: What Photographers Need to Know." Although Austin focus is for photographers many of the tips and features he highlights are applicable for architects as well and everyone should give Austin's post a read.
For architects on the road, either for site visits or traveling for business, getting online is a priority. With your iPhone that's easy, so long as you have cellular coverage, but what about your Mac? With iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, Apple has made it easy.
