The wave of iPhone 6-related rumors has been incessant, but with just a short while to go until the purported announcement, we're starting to get wind of some solid / confirmed reports from reliable sources. We've clapped eyes on the iPhone 6's rear shell umpteen times since the details of the revised form factor began to emerge, but a new, high-quality leak gets really up close and personal with this particular component.
The deal that saw Apple acquire Beats Electronics was one of the biggest stories so far this year. Sure, we were flabbergasted by Facebook's $16 billion purchase of WhatsApp, partially because of the sheer amount of money changing hands, but given the Cupertino company’s conservative spending habits, this one came a little out of the blue. Apple has consistently stayed away from big-money buyouts, and the decision to snap up the Dr. Dre-founded company also signaled the first time that the Mac maker opened its wallet for a well-known company. Now, with the $3 billion agreement having been given the rubber stamp of approval, Beats has been given its own special space on the Apple retail site, where you might find headphones, speakers, and… oh - more headphones.
Let's not beat around the bush - the Apple TV remote is a pretty poor imitation of how a remote control should function. Sure, it's nice and slim, but for me, the minuscule form factor only makes it easier to lose down the side of the sofa. Suffice to say that I, like many Apple TV users, tend to use an iOS device for the purpose of controlling the set-top, which makes for a much more enjoyable experience overall. While using iPhones and such for remote controlling is nothing particularly new, what you may not have known is that you can also train Apple TV to use ordinary third-party remotes, and below, we'll show you how to do so.
We may be only a couple of months beyond this year's WWDC, but even as the Apple developer community is working its way towards a big iOS 8 release, attentions are beginning to turn towards next year's event.
It became something of a myth that turned out to be true, but there really was a guy called Sam Sung that worked for Apple as recently as late-2013. Even while both Apple and Samsung were going at it tooth and nail over patents and general hatred of each other, there was a cheery guy working as a specialist in Apple’s Pacific Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was almost too good to be true.
Apple's iPhone 6 is easily the most eagerly-anticipated handset of the year, and while most smartphones get their fair share of leaks and such, the forthcoming iPhone has been speculated on for the best part of six months. In the past couple of weeks, we've seen parts leaks aplenty as the manufacturing process commences, and now, one of our favorite designers has utilized his skills to present us with an all-singing, inside-and-out look at the iPhone 6. Below, you can check it out for yourself.
In what can only be described as a shock, Apple and Samsung have both announced that they will drop all litigation against each other outside the United States, thought the pair will continue to duke it out in Apple's homeland.
The iPhone 6 has been one of the most talked-about releases of this calendar year in the world of tech, and although we've long since suspected that September will be the month of its long-awaited announcement, we may now have a firm date.
As we move closer to the final release of iOS 8, the changes in the beta releases have started to get more subtle and less striking. And while today’s fifth beta release does come with changes, but they’re not as big as the previous ones.
After a handful of Developer Previews, Apple recently unleashed the first Beta of OS X 10.10 Yosemite. In a change from the usual schedule, though, the beta was open to the general public, allowing anybody with an Apple ID to indulge, and as we close in on that eventual end user release scheduled for the fall, the Cupertino tech giant has just rolled out the 5th Developer Preview of Yosemite. Details, as ever, can be seen after the leap.
