Anyone who had the original iPhone back in 2007 will remember that it had an appalling camera. It wasn't just not up to the standards of today - it wasn't up to the standards of 2007. Thankfully, as the years have rolled on by, someone at Apple realized that people like to take photos with their phones, partly thanks to their always-connected nature and the fact that they're always with us.
Although one probably wouldn't go as far as to suggest that Apple's new iOS 8 software is strewn with bugs, it's certainly had its customary dose of teething issues, with a number of devices and apps affected by those early imperfections. Still, Apple has apparently been hard at work on iOS 8.0.1, and while a minor, bug-fixing update was always likely to follow the end user roll-out of iOS 8, we now have a few details on what exactly said update may contain. So if your iOS 8 experience has been a bit of a rocky ride thus far, there's a good chance that the antidote is on the way, and below, we've the full round-up.
Samsung's share price had dipped to its lowest in two years, and although the continued rumor cycle and subsequent release of Apple's iPhone 6 was one of a number of factors outlined in a new report, there's no question that its Californian rival's decision to roll out two larger-displaying handsets has hurt the Tizen maker.
Apple regularly bolsters the point-and-shoot credentials of its newest handsets, but with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, there appears to have been a special emphasis on improving the rear-facing camera in both a photo-taking and video-capturing capacity. From Focus Pixels to optical image stabilization, both devices appear to squeeze every drop of performance out of their 8-megapixel sensor, and if you're a bit of a videographer, you'll surely be enthused by the new option to shoot 1080p footage at 60fps. If you've heard about the feature but not sure how to get started with it, we've got a little guide right after the break.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 4, which was announced prior to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus earlier on this month, has still yet to make general release, but with ten million units of Apple's new duo of devices sold over the first weekend alone, Sammy is now pulling out all the stops to ensure that its just-showcased handset reaches the end user as soon as possible.
After the successful launch of the iPhone 6 and the jumbo-sized iPhone 6 Plus Apple could potentially be planning to bring additional product updates to the market during the month of October.
The iPhone 6 launch weekend went down with a real bang, but even though the number of early adopters is already well into the millions, there are still plenty of consumers waiting patiently for the second round of stock. As expected, the spike in demand for the latest models as proved too much for Apple to handle, and while many are currently acquainting themselves with the larger display and radical redesign, many others are closely monitoring certain sites for news on renewed stock. If you are one of those people, there's a pretty awesome site that lets you do exactly that, but given that it also sends you an alert when a specific model on a specific carrier has become available, it's probably the best assistant in your continued quest to track down the iPhone 6 model you require.
It's been the question on everyone's lips ever since its huge acquisition story a few months back, but the mystery around just what Apple will do with Beats Music may be about to come to an end. With Apple expected to make use of the streaming service in one way or another, the question has always surrounded whether it would keep Beats Music as is, or roll it into iTunes instead. Now, following a report that claims to cite multiple sources, it appears that Beats Music may be living on borrowed time.
When Apple unleashed the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus a couple of weeks ago, the usual executive announcers waxed poetic about the new display of each. As ever, an improved display wouldn't be complete without its own buzzword or tagline, and 'Retina HD' was deemed suitable to the company's marketing campaign. But with the release having just occurred across nine nations, a sizeable portion of the consumer market - as well as commentators, resellers, and others within the mobile industry - have had the opportunity to check the devices out for themselves. One renowned display specialist has quickly waded into the debate by declaring the iPhone 6 Plus's display as "the best performing smartphone LCD display that we have ever tested," and below, you can find out precisely why such a bold assessment was made.
Almost every major software release includes its fair share of bugs and teething issues, and if you've recently grabbed iOS 8 for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then you're not alone if you've encountered some Wi-Fi-related troubles. In fact, in looking at the Apple Support community forums, it's clear that many, many early adopters have been afflicted by this and a number of other problems, and until Apple arrives with the necessary fixes by means of a potential software update, there are a few fixes and solutions doing the rounds. Details, as ever, can be seen after the fold.
