iPhone 5 Tops TIME Magazine’s Gadget Of The Year List, Galaxy S III Doesn’t Even Make It To The List

Ben Reid·December 11, 2012

The iPhone 5 has, much like all of its predecessors, released to a frenzy of eager consumers. In the vast playing field that is the mobile market, the iPhone is arguably the most sought-after, and according to the annual TIME Magazine list of this year's greatest gadget releases, also the best. The iPhone 5 is not only first Apple smartphone to offer 4G LTE, but also the only release hitherto to go larger than 3.5-inches with the display, and having scrutinized the device alongside a bunch of other heavily-lauded gizmos, TIME has concluded it as being the Best Gadget of 2012.

Ben Reid·December 11, 2012

The iPhone 5 was a landmark release by Apple for a variety of reasons, and as well as finally breaking the mold of a 3.5-inch display, it was also the very first time in which the Cupertino included 4G LTE into one of its handsets. The iPad 3, which launched back in March of this year, was the very first Apple device to offer the next-gen cellular chip, and with the release of the sixth-gen smartphone just a couple of months ago, Apple's LTE market share has gathered a little more steam - climbing to an impressive 27 percent.

Australian Police Slams iOS 6 Maps, Recommends Using Alternatives

Paul Morris·December 10, 2012

If you pulled together all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users running iOS 6 and polled their collective opinions on the new Maps app that replaced Google’s offering, then it is likely that the negative comments would far outweigh the positive ones. If you asked the same users to give some constructive feedback on the Maps app, then it's unlikely that extremely harsh comments would show up in that poll, but that is exactly how the the Victoria Police Department in Australia have described the software to residents of the local area.

Apple's iPhone 5 was predicted to be the biggest smartphone release of the year, and so has proven to be the case. The first weekend sales eclipsed that of any other handset released in 2012, but despite high demand, yield issues have prevented the Cupertino company from producing the numbers to adequately meet demand. Initially, those looking to order the iPhone 5 from Apple's online Store were met with a wait of up to four weeks, but with that wait having recently been slashed to one week, the latest and greatest Apple smartphone is now listing as "in stock" in a handful of countries.

Humor: Apple To Fix iOS 6 Maps By Rearranging The Earth’s Geography [VIDEO]

Ben Reid·December 7, 2012

Apple's iOS 6 may have enjoyed record levels of adoption in its first couple of months in existence, but one area of the new mobile software sticks in everybody's mind - that dreadful Maps app. Tim Cook apologized for it, iOS SVP Scott Forstall was ousted due (in part) to its shortcomings, and other mapping apps have benefitted greatly as a result. But whilst Cook assures us that his company is doing everything they can to rectify the issue, we perhaps underestimated just how dedicated the Cupertino are to have the best mapping app around. Rather than fix the inaccurate street names and landmark locations within the app, staff have been spotted attempting to change the world's geographical traits to fall in line with iOS Maps!

Apple CEO Tim Cook Fuels Speculation That The Company Is Planning On Building An Actual TV Set

Paul Morris·December 6, 2012

As a company, Apple is extremely well-known for creating the fantastic OS X powered Mac, the iPhone, iPad and a number of other extremely popular mobile devices. Although those products have been, and will continue to be, extremely successful around the globe, there has been intense speculation over the last twelve months that Apple will breach their comfort zone and extend their portfolio by manufacturing an actual physical television set. Although there hasn't been any concrete evidence or nods of approval from Apple itself, a recent NBC News interview with Tim Cook could be the source of the biggest hint to date.

Samsung’s ‘iSheep’ Clip Mocking Apple Fans Voted Best Tech Ad Of The Year 2012 [VIDEO]

Ben Reid·December 6, 2012

Apple and Samsung are two great rivals in the world of modern technology, and it's only natural that when one of them brings a shiny new smartphone to the table, the other won't want you to have it. Samsung made its feelings known on the release of the iPhone 5 back in September by compiling the ‘iSheep’ (The Next Best Thing is Already Here) ad, a reference to those Apple evangelists that queue for hours to grab the next Cupertino iDevice. As well as poking fun at some of the iPhone's features, on-looking spectators were left fascinated instead by the S III, as its perceived superiority was showcased amid an awestruck ensemble of would-be iPhone buyers. Today, that ad has been named as the top tech ad of 2012.
