Apple’s $3 billion acquisition of Beats Electronics and Beats Music wasn’t in vain at all. Earlier this week, the Cupertino tech giant started exposing first-time customers to Beats Music when they stepped into the App Store for the first time, and now, the company has included Beats Music app to the “Apps Made by Apple” list in the iTunes App Store, in order to guarantee not only just higher number of downloads for the app, but also cement its ownership of the company and its platform.
Apple's unannounced but widely tipped 5.5-inch iPhone 6 may be about to come with a large 2915mAh battery if a newly leaked photo is any indication.
Apple's iPhone 6 is set to be announced early on next month, and although we've seen much of the 4.7-inch model, the supposedly delayed, 5.5-inch variant has continued to elude us. While not offering any direct evidence of the larger edition, a new leak does offer some clues as to how the larger form factor of the iPhone 6 will still be comfortable to use with one hand.
With the iPhone 6 launch just around the corner, leaks have definitely sped up, and we’ve had plenty of evidence for that during the last couple of months. A number of alleged parts for the upcoming iPhone models have surfaced around the Web, most of them falling in line with earlier reports regarding the iPhone 6 and iPhone Air (if that’s what they end up being called). Today, however, we have another leak that supposedly shows the new iPhone’s Lightning cable, with the highlight being a reversible USB connector.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has joined with the current Ice Bucket Challenge drive and had a bucket of freezing cold water dumped over his head in order to raise awareness of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
Amid the abundance of iPhone 6-related coverage, we've been unable to dispel the on-off rumor that the device's display will be laden in the tougher, albeit more expensive sapphire glass material. Not only would it be more robust, but also clearer, and with better scratch resistance than the current Gorilla Glass formula, would render the device much more rugged overall.
Apple's purchase of Beats Electronics a couple of months ago for $3 billion took everybody by surprise, especially given that the Cupertino company tends to avoid such extravagant buyouts of well-known companies. With the deal having just been given the rubber stamp of approval, the Beats product line-up already has its own little segment over on Apple's official site, but aside from a couple of new pairs of headphones, we've yet to really see the fruits of this fledgling collaboration. This could all change once Apple's current flurry of imminent product releases is done and dusted, though, and one designer has imagined what a pair of Apple-Beats headphones, or 'iBeats', might look like.
We're merely weeks away now from the much anticipated iPhone 6 (or iPhone Air, depending on what Apple ends up calling it) launch event to be held in September, if rumors are to be believed. With the official unveiling this close, it's certain that the devices have gone through all the stages of mass production and probably nearing the completion line any time soon. What this implies for the rest of the world is that a floodgate of leaks and rumors would have opened, and indeed, we saw our fair share of that over the course of last few weeks. Today, a fresh set of leaked photos has surfaced that shows close up views of the iPhone 6 front panel, the mute toggle and the power button, the former of which indicates a tapered edge design.
As well as the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which the Korean company is expected to unveil on September 3rd, smartphone fans will also be keeping their eyes out for the Apple iPhone 6. Apparently slated for a September 9th showcasing, the handset has been conceptualized ad nauseam since we first learned of its purported form factor many moons ago, and with the launch event now imminent, one of our favorite designers has tried his hand at presenting us with a visual of the device in its retail packaging. If you've guessed who we're talking about, then you'll probably know of his high standards in concept design, and if you want to see what the iPhone 6 may look like mid-unboxing, join us after the break.
