We already knew that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus packed quite the computational punch, but new testing by the developers of Mac app WALTR has found that both devices are actually capable of playing 4K video.
The consumer facing Web version of iCloud has just gained support for uploading images to the iCloud Photo Library, a feature which was previously limited to the beta site.
Apple has just seeded the first beta of OS X 10.10.2 to developers. As you can probably tell by the version number, it's a fairly innocuous bump inclusive of bug fixes and other such performance enhancements, but if you're a registered dev, check the details after the break.
Whenever a new piece of iOS software is launched, some devices inevitably get left behind, and many, such as the iPhone 4s and iPad 2 on iOS 8, are subjected to a decidedly limited experience compared with the newer models on the market. It was always somewhat inevitable that these antiquated devices would struggle to cope with the rigors of the new, feature-rich update, and so it has proved, but Apple did promise that those who've stuck by their iPhone 4s or iPad 2 would see improvements with its iOS 8.1.1 download. Were these just empty claims, or does this week's update actually enhance the general user experience for those wielding vintage hardware?
The late Steve Jobs, possibly one of the most iconic individuals and inspirational company founders of our time, suffered numerous setbacks in his career before eventually returning to Cupertino to inject life back into his beloved Apple in a true phoenix from the flames fairytale story.

Apple has today replaced all the ‘FREE’ download buttons with the word ‘GET’ across both the App Store and Mac App Store. The change appears to be worldwide, so you should be seeing it right now no matter which store you happen to frequent.
Apple broke the habit of a lifetime earlier this year in its move to snap up the well-known, high-profile Beats Electronics for $3 billion, and since then, the company has wasted little time in improving and updating its new subsidiary's range of products and services. As well as the few new pair of headphones that have manifested since the takeover, the Beats Music subscription service has been a major topic of conversation, and with Apple looking to use its vast iTunes catalog as leverage in the battle of the modern digital music portals, it looks like the Beats Music app will become a part of the stock repertoire early next year.
Daring Fireball's John Gruber isn't one for idly throwing guesswork out into the public domain. If he says something, it's usually very well considered and if he's been given the inside scoop by someone in the know, then extremely accurate also. So when Gruber says something about the next Apple camera being a large jump over what's currently available, people tend to take notice.
The update to iOS 8.1.1 may have fixed some of the more ridiculous and irritating bugs that iOS 8 / 8.1 had managed to introduce, but it also has one undocumented benefit that will no doubt prove highly useful to those carrying iPhones and iPads with just 16GB of internal storage. Even though many have reported that they still need huge amounts of free space in order to install iOS 8.1.1, many have found that once they've gone through the entire update process they've been left with more space than when they started.
The holiday shopping season is drawing nearer and the Cupertino giant shows us just how valuable Apple Pay can be, as Eddy Cue - Apple's SVP of Internet Software and Services - shows off the service in action as he goes on a shopping spree followed by some cameras, of course.
