While the MacBook Air has garnered a strong following for its ultra-sleek design and form factor, the MacBook Pro remains a beautiful marriage of craftsmanship and high-end hardware. Recently, there's been talk - since quashed - of the Pro following the motif of the Air in bringing a sloped shell, but despite not expecting such a design from Apple any time soon, that hasn't stopped designer Guilherme Schasiepen from spreading his wings and teasing a truly marvelous-looking MacBook Pro concept.
The next iPhone, which has unofficially been dubbed the "iPhone 5," is expected to arrive some time later on this year. From reports, rumors and leaks gathered hitherto, it will remain the same width and of a similar depth to the current iPhone 4S, but the screen - and subsequently the device itself - will become longer, adding more pixels while keeping the same pixel density of the Retina display seen in Apple's flagship device of today.
We have heard plenty of rumors that Facebook is working on its own smartphone before today, but once again we are being told that the social network is indeed set to join the mobile platform fray, but this time there may be a tablet thrown in for good measure.
Apple has a knack for supporting one-generation-old devices, mainly because they focus more on the end user-experience rather than forcing people to go for new hardware, which by the way is, not entirely true. Sticking true to their laurels, Apple has - moments ago - silently pushed out a small update for the GSM version of iPhone 4 only.
While Siri has managed to remain an almost permanent fixture on the majority of tech blogs - without actually being altogether that accurate - 9to5Mac appears to have spotted a a keyboard shortcut reference in the latest Mountain Lion beta, which possibly indicates that Apple's upcoming OS X release could also get some kind of Siri-esque dictation.
Apple and Samsung have been at each other's throats for a good couple of years now, and the ill-feeling stems - for the most part - from Apple's firm belief that it's Korean rival has been plagiarizing its designs and passing them off as their own.
Although we're not expecting Apple to launch its next iPhone until this Fall, there has still been plenty of speculation regarding what it will eventually look like. The consensus seems to be that the fruit company will finally deviate from the ever-present 3.5-inch display, in favor of a larger display in keeping the rest of the market.
Rumors are just that, rumors, and the iPhone 5 is currently in the middle of more than its fair share. It is par for the course for any big Apple hardware release, but the rumor mill seems to only intensify as each year goes by. The latest to be bandied around is the suggestion that the next iPhone will be the first to feature a new screen, with not just more pixels but more inches, too.
Today sees something of an oddity, for two high-powered CEOs and an army of legal help will sit down and try to thrash out an end to one of the longest, most tedious legal battles we can think of. There may be blood!
All the talk right now is of the next iPhone. There have been rumors about everything from whether the new handset will sport a 4G radio, to how large the screen will be this time around.
