Ben Reid·September 11, 2014

Apple's kill-switch feature added to the iOS repertoire last year has helped to greatly reduce the number of iPhone-related thefts in particular. But with Apple Watch now here and integrated with Apple Pay for seamless mobile payments, security is once again the order of the day. As we begin to wonder how the wearable will protect users' data and prevent unauthorized parties from going on a shopping spree with an ill-obtained Apple Watch, details are now emerging as to the measures in place.

Size Comparison: iPhone 6 Plus Vs Galaxy Note 4 Vs Lumia 1520 Vs LG G3

Ben Reid·September 11, 2014

Apple's announcement of the iPhone 6 Plus is not only significant in that it's a great deal larger than any smartphone the company has created before, but it also drafts the Cupertino company into the realm of the "phablet." A term derived from the combination of phone and tablet, these large handsets have taken the smartphone world by storm over the past few years, and while Samsung's Galaxy Note was the originator of this niche market, it now shares this space with several rivaling vendors. Below, you can take a look at how the iPhone 6 Plus stands up - in terms of size and specs, both - against the also-new Galaxy Note 4, Nokia's Lumia 1520 and LG's mammoth G3.

From a security point of view, the Mac maker will want to avoid any more high-profile gaffes as it looks to win the trust of the consumer market, and although the new iOS 8 GM has fixed some vulnerabilities first highlighted by a seasoned security researchdf, a few still continue to linger.

Yesterday at the Flint Center in Cupertino, Apple took the wraps off three different specifications of its long-awaited watch. The standard Apple Watch for the general market, the fitness and activity-aimed Watch Sport, and the Watch Edition, focused on bringing a premium, high-end look to the line-up.

Paul Morris·September 10, 2014

Apple's Flint Center media event has been and gone. The occasion was packed with the typical presentation flair and expertise that we've come to expect from the likes of Tim Cook and Phil Schiller, and even continued the light-hearted trend of throwing in the odd casual joke here and there.

Apple To Reportedly Acquire ‘Path’ Social Network, Wants To Integrate It With Messages

Ben Reid·September 10, 2014

Social network Path is a beautiful, functional and cross-platform app that is used by many, but despite its credentials and promise, has been somewhat crowded out by Facebook, Twitter et al. It's hard not to check out from time to time because it's simply such a pleasure to use, but ultimately, it's quite dormant, with users generally only checking in when they remember to. An acquisition by a big-name company could soon rejuvenate Path and turn its fortunes around, and according to a report, Apple is planning on buying the app and integrating it with its own Messages infrastructure.

iPhone 6 / iPhone 6 Plus Reachability (One Handed Use) Feature Demoed On Video

Ben Reid·September 10, 2014

Apple has never been one to dive head-first into a new mobile craze, preferring to hold back, refine the process or feature, and join the party fashionably late. Samsung may be on its fourth top-end phablet already thanks to the dual-release of the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge at last week's IFA, but three years after Berlin played host to the original Galaxy Note, Apple today gave those who craved iOS over a larger canvas something to savor. In the run-up to today's events, it was suggested that Apple's device would include a 'one-handed mode' for comfortable use of a potentially unwieldy device, and with the announcement, we got a taster of "Reachability." Now, we have a video demo to gawk at.
