It's going to be "bigger, badder, and birdier" and it's coming to a mobile platform near you on July 30th. Yes, that's right, mobile game developer Rovio has just announced via its official Twitter account that there is an Angry Birds 2 in the making and it will be available to download at the end of the month.
2015 is expected to be an extremely busy time for Apple, especially for new hardware releases. In addition to introducing and revealing the new iPhone 6s in the fall, the Cupertino company is also expected to introduce a number of new iPad tablets before the year's end. If a new report coming out of Taiwan is to be believed then it looks like fans of Apple's 9.7-inch iPad could be left disappointed with suggestions that the iPad Air may not welcome in a third-generation device until 2016.
Samsung may still be one of the largest smartphone vendors out there at the moment but the company undeniably has a lot of improvement to make after suffering its seventh consecutive early loss in profits. After pinning its hopes on the Galaxy S6, Samsung is now hoping that the soon-to-be-released Galaxy Note 5 will make a worldwide impact on its profits. In addition to that, the company has also taken the opportunity to introduce the extremely stylish and new Galaxy A8 smartphone in China today.
As part of its 20th anniversary celebrations, Amazon proclaimed today to be "Prime Day"; a one-day sale serving up deals galore that the company has promised will be bigger than Black Friday. In an effort to reward loyal and returning consumers, and probably claw a few new ones in the process, the online retailer is serving up thousands of fantastic deals. If you love a good deal and happen to be an annual Prime subscriber then keep on reading for some of the best tech deals being offered.
Speculation regarding Apple's upcoming iPhone 6s is starting to come through thick and fast. We now well and truly find ourselves in the middle of that exciting, and sometimes frustrating, period where new visual and technical specification leaks come out of the woodwork from those who claim to have "familiarity with the situation." We can already be fairly confident that Apple's iPhone 6s will come with Force Touch capabilities, as well as being offered in a new color option that has been described as either Rose Gold or Pink, so naturally, those Chinese clone manufacturers have jumped immediately onto the bandwagon and produced a $200 clone of the iPhone 6s complete with the speculated new color option.
As part of the continuation of the current-generation Mac OS, Apple has just released the first OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite beta to registered developers. This latest progressive seed of OS X Yosemite comes just two weeks after Apple made OS X 10.10.4 available to the general public and follows hot on the heels of the latest developer preview of OS X El Capitan. In terms of OS X development, this could be the last update for Yosemite that we see before the next-generation of OS X, El Capitan, hits the Mac App Store with global availability.
As we have continued taking steps toward a future that well and truly embraces the "internet of things" it has become extremely evident that voice activated personal assistant apps and services are going to be here to stay. We've seen the progression of Google Now within Android Lollipop and recently witnessed Apple introduce a smarter, more Proactive Siri as part of its iOS 9 updates. Now, potentially due to the stability of the digital assistant arena, it's being reported that Facebook is set to take on Siri and Google Now with its own digital assistant software, codenamed "Moneypenny".
Great news ladies and gentleman of the United Kingdom. Apple Pay is now officially live in the UK. If you happen to be the proud owner of one of Apple's modern devices, namely an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, or an Apple Watch, there now exists the ability to pay for goods and services in specific places without the need to whip out a debit or credit card or cold hard cash. After waiting patiently for nine months for it to actually enter the UK market, consumers will be able to use Apple Pay in more than 250,000 stores, including supermarkets Waitrose and Lidl, as well as popular food establishments Nando's and Wagamama.
