History has shown us that Best Buy is never shy when it comes to providing their customers with a bargain, and it seems that they are at it again with an offer aimed directly at students. The deal, offered in conjunction with the American Sprint network, will see students offered a full year's worth of free service when they purchase a qualifying smartphone from the Best Buy range.
Just when you thought the patent litigation saga between Apple and Samsung was beginning to dwindle into obscurity it has returned with a vengeance. The discontent between the two companies may not have been hitting public headlines as much in recent months, but it has still been simmering away nicely in the background with legal teams from both entities doing their best to represent their sides. In a ruling that has been passed down today, the United States Court of Appeals has ruled that Apple can have yet another stab at trying to get certain offending Samsung smartphones banned from sale.
Consumers living in all initial release countries have been frantically descending on Apple Retail Stores to get their hands on the iPad mini 2 with Retina display. The smaller form-factor tablet has proven to be extremely popular in the time that has followed its first-generation launch with the recent introduction of the Retina display and A7 processor only extending that popularity. The limited inventory in online and physical retail outlets show just how popular the new iPad mini has become, but those owners who also have the larger iPad Air may just find themselves comparing color output on the Retina display and finding themselves a little confused.
Launching the native Music app in iOS provides users with a default "out-of-the-box" setup that involves a tab bar containing a number of easily accessible options such as Radio (depending on your location), Genius, Artists and Songs. The ability to change those options has always been present as part of the Music app, but has always been hidden away through the More section, with only a limited number of users actually taking advantage of the functionality. Carry on reading to find out how to customize the Music app tab bar to suit your own needs.
It seems that we can't have any big Apple product release these days without it being laden with some sort of baggage. The infamous 'antennagate’ debacle of the iPhone 4 was perhaps the biggest blow up that we've seen lately, but that doesn't mean that other products haven't had their fair share of issues. It seems that the very recent release of the iPad mini 2 with Retina display may be the latest Apple hardware to suffer from an issue that could very well be blown out of all proportion.
Apple has just made available iOS 7.0.4 download links for compatible iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Apple's new iOS 7 mobile operating system seems to have gone down well so far with users, and after a couple of minor updates amending a couple of early teething issues and security holes, the Cupertino has today delivered yet another update. You can catch the full change log, as well as the download details, right after the break.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Apple does a lot of business through a lot of different sales channels. Consumers who prefer to shop from the comfort of their own home can easily purchase Apple hardware and software directly through the company's official online store. Those who prefer to interact with bricks and mortar don't usually have to stray very far to find themselves purchasing goods in one of Apple's physical retail outlets. In addition to those options, Apple also has a vast array of official resellers who are always happy to shift their goods. But if there was a competition for which physical store could shift the most iPhones then who do we think would win?

It has been reckoned for a while now that Apple is in the process of developing a so-called "iWatch" product to be worn on the wrist. The rumor itself is certainly believable, particularly with the release of Samsung's Galaxy Gear back in September, but the reports surrounding the product itself have ranged from the plausible to the far-fetched. Today arrives perhaps the most outrageous claim that Apple will be creating two different specifications of the iWatch - a smaller model for women, and a larger version for the predominantly larger wrists of the male population.
While we, as smartphone users, perhaps spend a lot more time than we'd like monitoring our battery usage, watching how much data we're using is perhaps the most important aspect of owning a mobile device. After all, many cellular packages are still rather stingy on how much data one can utilize in a given month, and if we should wind up downloading a lot more data than our package allows, those nasty surprise bills will inevitably follow. Like battery preservation, everybody has their own way of keeping abreast of how much data they're getting through, and one particularly neat feature within the Settings app of iOS 7 allows you to readily deactivate cellular data within certain apps.
