When Apple announced HomeKit, its iOS framework for controlling smart devices around the home, such as thermostats, door locks and lights, we expected to see every accessory maker under the sun rush to get accessories out the door. As it turned out, Apple's own inability to get all of its API ducks in a row have hampered the release of hardware, but that is starting to come to an end. One of the devices first outed at January's CES - the iHome iSP5 SmartPlug - is now available to buy.
If you've been patiently waiting for the iPhone 6s with the hope of receiving an upgraded iPhone that's packing significantly more power, then you might want to take the next few weeks to gear yourself up for a potential disappointment. A screenshot that is purported to be from a benchmark test ran directly on the iPhone 6s is currently doing the rounds on the Internet and reveals something that could ultimately be a major kick in the teeth for Apple fans; a relatively paltry 1GB of memory. Or to put it another way, the same amount of RAM as the current iPhone 6 model.
OS X Yosemite is close to the end of its active life, and soon to be replaced by the next iteration in OS X, the El Capitan. At a time like this, it's rather strange to see another update rolling out for Yosemite, but that's exactly what Apple did today. The Cupertino-based company quietly released Yosemite 10.10.5, which is more of an under-the-hood update that includes a number of bug fixes, most importantly for the DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE vulnerability.

Have you ever stopped to consider what would happen if Apple moved away from its traditional iPhone design and attempted to bring back the old-school clamshell design that used to be so popular with feature phones? Martin Hajek, a designer with a passion for "visualizing the future in 3D", has taken on what he describes as a "fun" side project to imagine what an Apple flip phone would look like if Jony Ive was tasked with bringing an Apple branded clamshell to the market. Carry on reading after the jump to see the designer's insane, but strangely beautiful flip phone concept.
Parallels Access app for iOS has just been updated to version 3.0, bringing with it a bunch of improvements, most notably the experimental support for playing PC games on your iPhone or iPad, support for the Apple Watch, and file sharing for both Android and iOS devices.
Apple is widely expected to launch two new iPhones next month, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. But what about the speculated iPhone 6c that would appeal to the more cash conscious consumer? A number of reports have suggested that the Cupertino company will introduce a third device alongside its revamped iPhone 6 range. This rumor has yet to be officially put to bed by a representative of Apple, but a number of entries in a set of developer logs have given the clearest indication yet, that an iPhone 6c doesn't exist.
