You would think that Apple's iPhone 6 was releasing imminently given the immense amount of coverage that Apple's forthcoming smartphone has commanded during the past couple of months. But as many analysts and commentators have already noted, it is the fact that it may finally compete with rivaling devices for sheer size that the world cannot get enough of the next big thing out of Cupertino. For a little more perspective on the iPhone 6 - as if ever it were needed - below you can check out a comparison of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 versus HTC's just-released One M8 handset.
When it comes to implementing new and emerging technologies, Apple is notorious for dragging its heels. It wasn't until the iPhone 5, which arrived in late 2012, that the Cupertino's smartphone finally saw 4G LTE, and while there has been talk in the past of the iPhone getting Near Field Communication tech, otherwise known as NFC, this has also yet to materialize. Perhaps it should be seen as something of a formality, then, that new reports indicate that the iPhone 6 will offer NFC as standard, with a deal also apparently having been struck between Apple and China UnionPay.
Apple's iPhone 6, although unannounced, has been leaked ad nauseam during the past couple of weeks in the form of photos and mock-up dummies, with eager fans 3D printing models the latest specifications in order to try and get a feel for what's in store. But if you don't happen to own a 3D printer, or don't know anybody who'll let you use theirs, then you can go out and buy your very own iPhone 6 model right now. Designed by Martin Hajek, it's as accurate a representation of the device as we have based upon the most recent info, and for the cost of around fifty bucks, you could be the proud owner of one plastic, non-working iPhone 6.
Apple's acquisition of Beats Electronics certainly came out of the blue, but the company does have some notable history. Along with the revelation that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was a long-time fan of Jimmy Iovine - the guy who has manned Beats since its inception along with Dr. Dre - a conference call between Dre and Jobs has recently come to light where the two men discuss Apple's iTunes music service.
With the iPhone 6 just around the corner - well, almost - people could be forgiven for forgetting that the current iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c are still very much available to buy. Even though the pair are now coming up on their one year anniversary, the iPhone 5s in particular can still hold its own in the current smartphone market, and if you can't wait for its successor you could do much worse than pick one up. If you've got an old iPhone to trade in too, now's the time to get yourself down to an Apple Store.
The Apple iPhone hasn't changed a great deal through the past few generations in terms of overall design, but given the recent spate of leaks, it does appear as though Tim Cook's company will repent for this with the iPhone 6. With a curved rear chassis, it's somewhat remnant of both the iPad Air and iPod touch, and for a comparative angle, new images have emerged showing a supposed dummy of the forthcoming handset alongside the iPod touch 5th-gen.
We've seen plenty of dummy leaks regarding the iPhone 6 of late, and today, we've finally got a side-by-side of each purported color configuration. The authenticity of this particular leak is some what questionable, and given that each variant has the same gold trim around the Home button, it's almost certainly not indicative of the finished article. Nevertheless, for a here-and-now take on how the iPhone 6 may look in Space Gray, Silver and Gold, check out these new snaps after the fold!
When our iOS devices are locked with a passcode, we, as consumers, like to think that the data behind it is secure as can be. However, in compliance with guidelines in place for use by US law enforcement officials, Apple has revealed precisely what it would potentially be able to extract from your handset if the cops ever wanted to investigate the contents.
Given that the iPhone 5s and 5c launched in early September of last year before releasing later on in the month, it has been widely presumed that the next flagship - dubbed the "iPhone 6" for obvious reasons - will follow suit. However, new information has come to light indicating that Apple's next major smartphone release could arrive slightly earlier, with a new, August release bracket having been offered.
A new study has gathered an intriguing insight into to the differential habits of iPhone and Android users. Notably, it suggests that while iPhone owners are more likely to have taken a recent flight, work a white collar job or drink wine when it comes to choosing an alcoholic beverage, blue collar Android owners are more likely to chug beer and ride the bus.
