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.
Apple's Developer site is often found to have left security holes within its infrastructure, and while the Cupertino outfit tries its utmost to ensure these flaws are few and far between, it's the nature of the beast that every now and again, problems must be dealt with. Over the weekend, the Dev Center went offline for maintenance works, but while this is a frequent occurrence - particularly given that new iOS releases are almost always dished out on a Monday - the purpose this time around was to fix an issue that leaked private info of accounts all the way up to CEO Tim Cook.
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.
Those who visit the site often - and you do visit us often, don't you? - will no doubt remember that we told you a couple of days ago how Apple was initiating an iPhone 5 recall of sorts. The reason for the recall was an apparently small batch of iPhone 5 handsets that have defective sleep/wake buttons, making putting a device to sleep, or even turning it on from a powered-down state, troublesome.
Apple is no stranger to hardware problems with its iPhone lineup. Even ignoring the infamous Antennagate fiasco, the iPhone has been plagued by perceived hardware issues across just about all of its iterations. The iPhone 5 already had fingers pointed at its inability to keep its anodized color for any longer than the time it took to take it out of the box, and now the model is the subject of a recall of sorts.
When a company as secretive as Apple has some significant new products in the pipeline, it's only natural that we tech enthusiasts should get a little carried away, and in our insatiable pursuit of the iPhone 6, we appear to have a leak that - in a turn up for the books - doesn't appear to have been faked. New renders, which may well have been intended for case makers, show detailed clues of the handset's curved form factor, as well as revealing that the forthcoming Apple smartphone could be just 6mm thick, 33% thinner than the design of iPhone 5s.
Normally we're only too keen to have the monotony of never-ending iPhone rumors broken by something different, especially if it's not a smartphone. Watches aren't phones, but while we're as keen to see what Apple does when it finally enters the smartwatch fray, we have to admit to being more than a little tired of the constant 'will they, won't they' arguments that fill our Twitter streams on a daily basis.
Apple only rolled out its rudimentary iOS 7.1.1 update on Tuesday, but over the past 48 hours or so, we've stumbled across some interesting little tweaks. As well as the new App Store feature that shows which apps offer in-app purchases, it has now emerged that in terms of battery life, those choosing to update can enjoy some reasonable improvements.
It's been almost a year since Apple's MacBook Air range was afforded a hardware upgrade, and a pretty significant upgrade it was too. The introduction of Intel's energy-efficient Haswell processor saw battery life potential increase by hours on both the 11 and 13-inch models of the ultra-thin notebook, and now, both configurations are in line for another customary bump according to a new report.
The latest speculation pertaining to Apple's much anticipated "iPhone 6" is suggesting that the Cupertino company is ready to move away from the existing flat edge design.
