Although Apple’s WWDC 2013 event was primarily focused on major announcements regarding the iOS 7 and OS X releases, the company also made other announcements which were very significant. For instance, Apple announced that it is finally bringing the popular iBooks reading app to the Mac machines.

Apple released iBooks app some three years ago and since then, it has mustered significant popularity among iOS users. The app was initially released for iOS users only and Mac users have long been asking Apple to bring it over to Mac machines too.

Now, much to the delight of Mac users, Apple has finally decided to bring ‘iBooks’ to Mac users. The original ‘iBooks’ offers a whole lot of features such as notes, textbooks and highlights. And Apple has assured that when porting the app to Mac, all these features will remain intact.

For avid readers of e-books, the best thing about iBooks is that you can even purchases books straight from the app. Moreover, since the app is supported on iCloud, you can leave the book mid-way on one iOS device or Mac machine and then resume it from that very spot at another iOS device or Mac machine.

To put it mildly, the EA Maxis team has learned a few hard lessons about launching only when ready. The company is putting that theory into practice: it's delaying the launch of SimCity for Mac from June 11th to August. The OS X version just isn't "ready for primetime," the company says. As compensation, all Mac buyers will get access to the recent Launch Park bonus that they'd otherwise miss. And Windows users, you're still getting some TLC -- EA Maxis has detailed the impending Update 5 release, which both fixes some bugs while delivering big improvements to chat and trading. While SimCity still hasn't shaken its rocky reputation, it's clear that the developers are determined to (eventually) set things right.
