The App Store began its life as a convenient hub of apps and games that help to enrich the experience of using iOS as a whole, and while it remains as such, the fact that it now boasts several hundred thousand apps means that it's quite a bit more time-consuming for folks to discover what's hot and what's not. Apple has already laid on several categories including top charts and editors' choice, which make this task decidedly easier, and now, the Cupertino giant looks to have introduced monthly "Best Of" lists.
If you've been skeptical of the iPhone 6 leaks and information that has surfaced so far, perhaps today's very plausible leaked mockup of the forthcoming handset in silver will pique your interest. Sure, with so many months to go until the purported release of the handset, we cannot be entirely sure of what's in store, but given how lifelike this particular leak appears to be, it's also hard to ignore the fact that we may already know what Apple has its up its sleeve.
Given that Apple overhauled the design language of its mobile platform with iOS 7, it is reckoned that OS X, its desktop counterpart, will be treated to a similar makeover later this year. According to a new report, OS X 10.10 will be the central software announcement made at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2014) in June, with Apple supposedly keen to peddle the significant alterations being made to the Mac software.
Following a leak yesterday that offered a very refined look at what the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 might look like from the rear, another plausible video has emerged showcasing a full-on mock-up of the forthcoming handset. Based upon design schematics revealed back in March, it gives us yet another glimpse of what the handset may look like to hold in real life, and given that it incorporates design features that have each been reported multiple times, this is perhaps the most accurate illustration of the upcoming handset that we've seen so far.
We're already getting a little overly giddy at the idea of Apple finally bringing a larger iPhone to market, and the increasing number of leaks that appear to corroborate that notion isn't making it any easier for us. While it's very true that the iPhone 5 was indeed larger than all the iPhones that came before it, there's no arguing against the fact that most would gladly buy a phone from Apple that narrowed the size gap between Apple's smartphone and all those Android phones we see everyone lugging around.
Alongside a myriad of new Apple products, the enigmatic iWatch is set to make its debut in the third quarter of this year, and according to reports out of China, the production process for the wearable device has already commenced. At this stage, the Cupertino company is not said to be manufacturing the wrist-worn gadget in significant quantities, however the report in question does go on to note that the iWatch is still slated for a fall release.
Even though we're still a good five months away from the projected release of Apple's next smartphone, this fact hasn't halted the continued wave of rumors, leaks and speculation regarding the iPhone 6. One area in which Apple always improves its famed handset is the rear-facing camera, and according to reports out of China, Apple has some very big plans to enhance the snapper of its forthcoming flagship.
It was just yesterday when we got a glimpse of the updated 2014 MacBook Air specs, and today, as expected, said updates are upon us. And we have all the details right here.
From what we've managed to glean so far, the next-gen iPhone will be both larger and thinner than the current iPhone 5s, offering a substantially increased 4.7-inch display that goes edge-to-edge. But how much slimmer will the next model be than the current flagship? Well, according to a case mold of the so-called "iPhone 6," it will be around the same depth as the latest iPod touch, which, if you've held the device alongside an iPhone 5s, is quite a significant drop.
Last week it was revealed that the MacBook Air range would almost certainly be afforded a rudimentary refresh, including possible processor enhancement among a series of other minor tweaks. It is believed that said 2014 MacBook Air upgrade will arrive on Tuesday, and on the eve of the roll-out, a leaked shot appears to confirm all of the key details.
