The advancement of cameras within smartphones has prompted a wave of wannabe photographers, and with a seemingly endless list of apps available for said individuals to hone their new-found skills in the point-and-shoot department, mobile device owners are rather spoilt for choice. In terms of app categories, the photography section of the App Store is perhaps the most heavily loaded, and no matter what kind of snap you're trying to achieve, there's bound to be at least one hundred apps vying for your attention. But if you're hunting for something that can take burst shots like no other, then you needn't look farther than the appropriately entitled SnappyCam.
All new Apple products go through a process of extensive, meticulous testing before hitting the market, a move that ensures that each device is safe to use and free of any mechanical error. But despite this, it is often the case that unforeseen issues do arise, and a problem with the graphics card for some mid-2011 iMac computers has meant that the fruit company will be taking remedial steps by means of a replacement program.
Over the course of the iPhone's existence, we've pretty much heard every single type of rumor that it's possible for people to come up with. Large screen sizes, different color variants, budget devices and the possibility of a convex home button to provide a little additional component space for a fingerprint sensor. However, today's emergence of the possibility of a champagne / gold colored iPhone 5S is definitely up there with the unexpected speculative topics. It may seem a little unlikely to some, but newly leaked images that show purported parts of the sparkling device add more fuel to the growing fire.
When it comes to rumors pertaining an upcoming Apple product, it would seem that everybody has something to say. But only certain voices tend to really matter when this topic is brought up, and KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is one such individual. Talking of the soon-to-be-announced iPhone 5S, it appears that Kuo subscribes to the notion that the device will be offered in a third, 'champagne' gold color configuration, and on top of that, he also believes the handset will see a 128GB model.
Although at this stage, some three-and-a-half weeks prior to the alleged announcement of the low-cost iPhone 5C, we haven't seen a working version of the device in action, the outer shell has been leaked through numerous outlets, and today, a hands-on comparing the current available components with the iPhone 5 has emerged, once again. Sure, we're expecting the iPhone 5's successor to be revealed on that same September 10th date, but with the budget device also being new to market, prospective iPhone owners will be undoubtedly weighing up their options, and thanks to this video, we can take an early look at how the iPhone 5C stands up to the current flagship.
One of the major talking points of iOS 7 ever since its unveiling at this year's WWDC has pertained to the design. Hardware design lead Jony Ive has been tasked with the job of updating an interface long overdue some change, and although the expulsion of skeuomorphism hasn't gone down well with everybody, the crowds do seem to be warming to the new look as the betas roll on. Being a company of uniformity, we'd expect the new philosophy to manifest across the board, and as iOS 7 continues its transition from old to new, the Cupertino company has made some similar changes to the beta version of the iCloud.com website.

As with any new Apple gadget, let alone the flagship iPhone, the rumors of the iPhone 5's successor have been at the fore ever since, well.. since the iPhone 5's first weekend sales figures were posted last fall. When it comes to modern technology, we cannot help but speculate on what might be packed into the next installment, and things got a little more real this weekend with the revelation that the device could be announced on September 10th. But while many consumers may have hoped this would mean they could upgrade their handsets next month, but according to a TechManiacs report, the world's most sought-after smartphone may not hit shelves until October 25th.
Regardless of personal preference, it's always fascinating and enlightening to research the history of a company to see what has put them into the position they are in today. It isn't only company history that is intriguing, however. We should all know Apple's back story by now, but it also seems that the iPhone's default text messaging tone also has an interesting past.
Until Apple see fit to release of the next generation iPhone, which may be sooner than you think, the iPhone 5 is the hottest competition from the iOS camp for the Android flagships, the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4. For this reason, if anyone is wanting to pick up an iPhone 5 in the coming weeks, you may want to think on it just a little bit. From my experience with both the HTC One and the iPhone 5, both are incredibly capable devices, but there is certainly enough differences to bring you 10 reasons which top the One above the 5. These can be found in the video embedded at the end of this post.
