Even in the midst of Mobile World Congress, Apple has managed to end up grabbing headlines after an analyst claimed that the company's iPhone 6 will be available sooner than expected. In fact, according to Mizuho Securities analyst Abhey Lamba, the highly anticipated new iPhone could be on stores as early as July, months before the usual September release timeframe that Apple has used in the past.

With yesterday being what would have been Steve Jobs' birthday had he still been with us, there's arguably no better day to show off a new statue of the man. Talk of such a thing has been on the go ever since he died following a battle with cancer, and today is the day that we got to see what it will actually look like.
Apple may not have fallen apart following the death of Steve Jobs, but that doesn't mean that the company isn't missing its talismanic leader. Today, February 24th would have been Jobs' 59th birthday had he survived his battle with cancer, and there are plenty of people remembering him.
This is just in. Apple has just released iOS 7.0.6 download for all of the newer devices. The new download is available as both OTA update and direct download for supported iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices.
When iOS 7 was first announced, it had its fair share of changes to demo. Apart from that radical redesign of the interface that left so many people dazed and confused, there were a handful of real features that made the seventh version of Apple's iPhone and iPad operating system a tangible upgrade from what came before it. One of those changes was the addition of Control Center which housed a place for buttons that performed common actions like turning Wi-Fi on and off amongst other things. It's actually one of our most used new features, but it's true that it still needs work. This new iOS 8 concept video takes what Apple started and pushes it to the next level.
Final version of iOS 7 download links are now live for everyone. Here's how to direct download IPSW files and install on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Apple and Samsung is a little more than your average company rivalry. There's genuine animosity between the two tech titans, and you only have to look at the ongoing litigation for further evidence of the contempt each feels for the other. Unsurprisingly, both Apple and Samsung regularly take shots at each other with ad campaigns, and in its latest, Sammy has taken a swipe at its old adversary in a new fleet of commercials for the Galaxy Tab Pro and Note 3. Check them out after the fold!
iOS 7.1 is on its way, with the current consensus suggesting that the first major update to Apple's latest and greatest will be ready for prime time on 15th of March for public consumption. With regards to the features therein, we know that iOS in the Car will be the major addition, alongside some minor aesthetic tweaks and general performance enhancements, but while we've been told that there'll be little else of note, the rumor mill has thrown up an interesting new theory. Apparently, Apple is to make significant alterations to the Mobile Device Management mass deployment system, with a supplementary "Volume Services" Web client also set to launch alongside iOS 7.1.
A little light-hearted mocking of rivaling companies and their products never hurt anybody in the tech industry, and as we've seen through numerous ad campaigns over the years, they're all at it. With MWC not too far away, Huawei has caricatured Apple's Siri voice assistant to rib both the Cupertino company and rival Samsung, while also promoting its new, to-be-announced smartphone and tablet. Check out the humorous clip right after the break!
