New details are beginning to emerge regarding the elusive iWatch, which has been mentioned frequently in tech circles but as yet, conceded precious little by way of evidence. One analyst has taken a trip to Taiwan, where Apple's inaugural smartwatch is apparently being manufactured, and as well as learning that the device will spawn more than one model, has also discovered that it will have a round watch face.

iOS 7 brought a multitude of changes to the fore back in September, and the most immediately-noticeable was that of the user interface. Almost every element was overhauled and redesigned from the ground up, and despite some initial resistance, the overwhelming majority appear to have warmed to the new look. Given how many years the old aesthetic stuck around for, though, it's more than likely that some of you will have developed an affinity to certain aspects, and if you preferred the look of the old default keyboard, there's now a tweak that will allow you to reinstate it.
Korean outfit LG has just taken the wraps off its new flagship G3 smartphone at a launch event in London, and as the build-up correctly touted, this thing is an absolute beast. Below, we've got the specs, pricing, release date and everything else of importance, so if you've been waiting for the low-down on what comes next following last year's acclaimed G2, join us after the fold.
With reports having already indicated that Apple's WWDC 2014 keynote will see the company unveil some new hardware along with the perceived formality of OS X 10.10 and iOS 8, the Cupertino giant has just announced that the initial announcement show-piece will be streamed live to those on Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV. In updating the WWDC site, Apple also alludes to some "exciting announcements," and although we don't know precisely what's in store just yet, we can't wait for Tim Cook and co. to tell all.
Even though Apple likes to remain tight-lipped in the run-up to any new product release, retailers, suppliers and carriers often - accidentally or otherwise - permit us to breach that veil of secrecy. The iPhone 6 - undoubtedly the most eagerly-anticipated product to be releasing out of Cupertino this year - is widely expected to be dropping in September of this year, and thanks to leaked info from a German carrier, we may now have a specific release date.
As of early last week, Samsung has taken over London Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 in a typically over-the-top ad campaign that has seen the entrance renamed "Terminal Samsung Galaxy S5." On top of that, the place is awash with billboards advertising the Korean company's most celebrated handset, and this exhibition is set to continue for another week yet. Before Samsung's takeover, though, Nokia - now Microsoft - had quite a sizeable advertising stake in Terminal 5, and given the mobile industry rival, it's no surprise that the Windows Phone giant has begun trolling Sammy's efforts with a little campaign of its own.
Computing has come a very long way during the course of the last 40 years, while products like the MacBook Air would have seemed virtually unthinkable even a decade ago. Such is the stronghold that the Digital Age has upon us that everywhere you go, you're likely to see kids barely out of kindergarten rocking iPhones and iPads, but how would these touchscreen-loving youngsters cope with an antiquated monstrosity like the Apple II? The result, as the video below shows, is quite amusing, with most of the children clearly bamboozled by the raw, command-line computing of yesteryear.
The App Store is continually inundated with new photo and video-related apps for wannabe photographers and videographers to sink their teeth into, and although each and every one purports to greatly enhance the point-and-shoot credentials of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, it's fair to say that you have to put in work to find the real gems. The app we're featuring today is somewhat unique in what it attempts to do, and by helping you find the perfect shot by scanning your short clips, will perceivably save you some time when trying to achieve the elusive Kodak Moment.
Today is, as may of you will be more than aware, Memorial Day, and to mark the occasion, several developers have offered their apps completely free of charge. Given that these are limited-time offers for the most part, you will need to get in quickly if you don't want to miss out, and with seven very highly-regarded titles making our list here today, we're certain you'll be snapping all of them up.
Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is just around the corner, and rumor has it that we'll be treated to one or two hardware announcements alongside the formalities of iOS 8 and OS X 10.10. As well as talk of a Retina MacBook Air, 4th-gen Apple TV and, speculatively, perhaps even the iWatch, changes in Apple's iMac shipping times may also suggest that the Cupertino is planning a refresh of its all-in-one desktop computer.
