According to reports, Apple has just rolled out its upgraded Content Delivery Network, or CDN, and to us, this equates to faster and more efficient downloads from the company's servers. With speeds into the terabits per second, it's quite a substantial bump, and although we tend to focus mainly on the products and software that Apple churns out, this is a more than welcome improvement to the back-end.
With leaks piling up and everyone pretty confident about what the new iPhone(s) will look like already, all that's really left to the imagination is when we will be first shown what we will hopefully be able to buy shortly after.
In the coming weeks, some parts of the United States will be offering what has become known as a 'tax-free weekend' during which select products can be bought without having to pay tax on them. That sounds like the kind of thing that we could get behind, and Apple is trying to make sure that those living in the right state are able to take advantage of the situation by, you guessed it, buying some shiny new Apple gear.
Does that iPad Air just not cut it for you? Do you really, and we mean really need more power than an iPad can afford or simply need to use so-called real apps? Is money no object in the pursuit of something that Apple is unwilling to offer?
Keeping in line with a number of rumors that surfaced over the weekend, Apple has today announced a relatively important refresh to its MacBook Pro range of computers. The update to the MacBook Pro with Retina display line of machines had been widely anticipated, and although the amendments don't come as a great surprise, they do mean that those looking to purchase one of Apple's portable Mac computers will ultimately benefit from a more powerful experience along with a reduced financial outlay.
The iPhone 6 mightn't have been released or even announced as yet by Apple, but you wouldn't know given the moves of some companies. As well as the usual assortment of fakes - some of which seem mightily similar to the purported form factor of the device itself - pre-orders are now being taken for the customary spate of 24k gold and platinum versions of the device.
If you're going to build a piece of software that will surely annoy one of the world's largest tech company, then you may as well choose one that is at the top of its game. In this case, the company is Apple and the software in question is TorrenTV, a cross-platform streaming app that allows users to stream torrents directly to Apple's "hobby" project, the Apple TV.
Apple's iPhone 6 is said to be headed to market late September, which makes sense given the past few release brackets, but whilst we've been treated to an abundance of coverage relating to the 4.7-inch variant, the more sizeable, 5.5-inch option has remained fairly elusive. This is, however, beginning to change, which suggests that the manufacturing process for the larger configuration is up and running, and to kick off what'll no doubt amount another week of considerable iPhone 6-related leaks, the logic boards of the two different size options have been compared side-by-side.
When Apple recently announced its latest financial results, there was little to get too excited about. Big sales are a given these days for Apple, but with new products not expected for another month or two, the analysts that like to make so much noise just haven't had too much to feed on, making this particular call even more boring than usual.
When it was announced that Intel was giving its Haswell line of CPUs a speed bump very recently, the smart money immediately went on those chips finding their way into Apple's MacBook Pro and, if this leaked photograph is to be believed, that's exactly what is going to happen.
