The iPhone 5c mightn't have taken off in the manner that Apple would have hoped, but this hasn't stopped the concept makers from trying to dream up designs for its would-be successor. Based upon sketches leaked out into the wild, designer Ferry Passchier mocked up some renders of the so-called "iPhone 6" a short while back - and beautiful they were. Now, he's gone back to the drawing board, so to speak, and re-created the same concept but with plasticky, iPhone 5c-like overtones.

Apple released iOS 7.1 back in March, and with it, introduced CarPlay, iTunes Radio enhancements, and several other minor tweaks and alterations. Today, reports suggest that iOS 7.1.1 release is on its way, although it appears that said update will focus on house-keeping, with the usual spate of bug fixes and general performance enhancements.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is the electronics giant's latest and greatest smartphone, and has brought with it a myriad of exciting new features. As well as the fingerprint sensor, gold color configuration, heartbeat monitor and other such niceties, the device is also a great deal more rugged than its predecessor. Thanks to a more robust build quality that also renders the handset waterproof, the Galaxy S5 is a lot more rough-and-ready than its predecessor, although as you might imagine, it more than met its match when faced with the bullet of a .50 caliber sniper rifle.
Microsoft is known predominantly as a software maker, with the likes of Windows and Office among its most celebrated products. But for a long time, the company has also shown that it's not too shabby when it comes to building innovative keyboards and mice to accompany the experience of using its famed line-up, and moving with the times, the software company's new All-in-One Media Keyboard is designed specifically with your smart TV in mind.
Earlier on this month, we heard that Google would be releasing an imminent update to the Android Camera app, bringing it up to scratch with the offerings of both Samsung and HTC with their respective flagship releases. Today, the day has come, with version 2.1.037 of the native Camera bringing plenty features, including - as promised - a little fake bokeh.
Hyundai already confirmed its intention to begin rolling out CarPlay-enabled cars after striking a deal with Apple, and today, the Seoul, South Korea-based company has officially announced that the 2015 Sonata - releasing this summer - will be the very first beneficiary of Apple's in-car variant of iOS.
Historically, Samsung has been all too willing to slander Apple and its products with ads, but for a while a few years back, the Korean outfit took a back seat, preferring to let Google take control of the Apple-bashing. But while, as has been revealed during the unfolding of events in the current Apple vs. Samsung court case in California, the Galaxy maker did cease to attack Apple for a while, the company's marketing team saw the death former CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs as "the best opportunity" to re-ignite its smear campaign.
Google has several innovative projects on the go at any one time, and while the world continues to be fascinating by Project Glass, Project Ara - the company's endeavor to build a modular smartphone that allows specific hardware features to be swapped in and out at will - has gathered a significant amount of interest in recent weeks. It's a concept that, if the Big G manages to pull it off, could really change the face of the smartphone market, and with a couple of teasers already having been released by the Project Ara team, we're now hearing that the first modular handset will be available from January next year.
Those looking to attend Google's big I/O developer conference can now register their interest in obtaining tickets for the event. The Big G is holding a lottery for tickets, so there's no need to rush over to the registration page, and you have the next three days to sign up for a chance to win.
Google's Helpouts service, which allows users connect to experts for live video help on a range of different topics, has just been released for iPhone.
