50 Of Best Apple’s Siri, Microsoft’s Cortana And Google Now Voice Commands Showcased On Video

Aatif·August 24, 2014

The concept of personal assistants has been around for a long, long time, and they indeed make one’s job a lot easier by sharing a hefty amount of your workload, maintaining schedules, prioritizing stuff, keeping track of projects and whatnot. With advancements in technology, a lot of that responsibility has shifted to our smartphones, further supported by the fact that not everyone can afford (or is entitled to) a personal assistant. Apple took the concept to the virtual world with its implementation of Siri, followed closely by Google Now and now, Microsoft’s Cortana for Windows Phone, with the latter being the highlight these days.

Third-Party Lightning Cable With Reversible USB Connector Already Available For Purchase

Ben Reid·August 23, 2014

Apple's Lightning cable, which was first rolled out with the iPhone 5 in place of the long-standing 30-pin offering, has made life a great deal easier for iOS device users. Not only is the Lightning connector smaller, and more robust, but it's also reversible, putting an end to the days of accidentally jamming and causing damage, but unfortunately, this issue is still prevalent at the traditional USB end. It has long since been suggested that Apple will mark the introduction of the iPhone 6 with a revised Lightning cable that will be reversible at both ends, but whether this transpires or not, there's already a third-party option available.

BBM Is Better Than Apple’s iMessage Says BlackBerry, And Here’s Why

Ben Reid·August 23, 2014

Once a dominant force in the smartphone industry, BlackBerry has lost its way in recent years, and having fallen way behind the Apple iPhone in the pecking order, the Canadian outfit has called out its Cupertino rival in the battle of the IM services. Having opened BBM up to iOS, Android and Windows Phone recently, the company is now busy trying to sell the once-popular instant-messaging service to the masses, and as is the case with most tech companies nowadays, BlackBerry has gone on the offensive against its fierce rival's corresponding iMessage.

China Telecom Prematurely Leaks iPhone 6 Details In Ad Posting [Image]

Ben Reid·August 23, 2014

It's strange that, given its status as a major carrier serving the Chinese market, China Telecom would post promotional iPhone 6 ads featuring renders mocked up by well-known designers, but that's exactly what it has done. In a new advertisement, in which the cellular operator suggests that it will sell a version of the iPhone 6 compatible with the nation's myriad of networks, we also get another glimpse of the fine work of Tomas Moyano and Nicolàs Aichino at Behance, and given how many times we've seen what is claimed to be the iPhone 6's final design, China Telecom's Weibo post is quite a misleading one.

We have had more than enough reasons to believe that the new iPhone 6 will come next month; specifically, on September 9th in a media event. All the evidence right now points in that direction, and if we were to take any hint from what Walmart has done today, it’s all but confirmed. The retail giant has announced temporary price cuts to both the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c models, offering the former at $79 and the iPhone 5c for an astounding, not to mention highly lucrative, $0.97.

The iPhone 6 may be the hottest topic in tech circles right now, but even though the annual dose of iPhone Fever has taken a stronghold once more, we've also the small matter of the iPad refresh to contend with. Only yesterday, we heard that the next-gen iPad Air could double up on RAM to 2GB, with certain 'pro' features apparently set to arrive with iOS 8.1 early next year, and now, a new parts leak has presented us with a close-up look at some of the device's internals.

Whether you're a fan of Apple's products or not, the coverage pertaining to the so-called 'iPhone 6' is pretty much inescapable right now, and although we've heard a great deal about the 4.7-inch model of the Cupertino's next smartphone, the more sizeable, 5.5-inch variant has been thrown out mainly as something of an afterthought. With the announcement now creeping up on us, though, we've had a few more tidbits of information just lately, and a new leak supposedly depicting the rear shell of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 offers a sense of perspective on how it may stand up against its smaller cousin.

Apple TV Gets A Brand New Channel: NFL Now

Ben Reid·August 21, 2014

Prompted into action by Google's release of the Chromecast dongle last year, Apple has been on something of a mission to bring more content to its famed set-top. Sure, we haven't seen any new hardware for a good couple of years now as far as Apple TV is concerned, but for those in ownership of the current-gen models, there are now dozens of channels and services to choose from. For sports fans, the introduction of NFL Now is likely to go down well, and if you don't happen to own the Cupertino company's little black box, you'll be pleased to learn that Amazon Fire TV and Yahoo Screen should also reap the benefits of NFL Now over the next few weeks.

Ben Reid·August 20, 2014

Apple's iconic retail stores are recognizable the world over, but despite the company having broadened its horizons significantly over the past few years, major cities and shopping malls across the world have yet to be graced with the presence of the famed, glass-clad outlets. Rumor has long since suggested that a very sizeable store would soon grace the United Arab Emirates, with reports also implying that it would be the biggest Apple Retail Store to date, and now, it seems as though Dubai's Mall of the Emirates will soon play host to a vast Apple Store.
