Ben Reid·September 23, 2014

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.

Ben Reid·September 22, 2014

At the big iPhone 6 event a couple of weeks ago, Apple also, as expected, took the wraps off its very first smartwatch. Named Apple Watch, the company released a series of videos outlining the various styles, fitness-related features and other perks that will come with owning its first major wearable, but given that was, and is, still nowhere near its "early 2015" release, some information was naturally kept under wraps.

Ben Reid·September 21, 2014

Investing an an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus will be an expensive gig, whether you decide to pay for the handset fully up front, or split the cost over a contract with one of the many carriers that offer them. With the price of a 128GB iPhone 6 Plus running up a bill of almost $1,000 unlocked, it's reasonable to suggest that a sizeable portion of iPhone 6 buyers will want to keep their device beyond the one-year shelf life, which also coincides with the duration of the manufacturer warranty. After that year is up, there's a good chance that you might have to pay for repairs, and now, Apple has divulged the price list for out-of-warranty iPhone 6 and 6 Plus repairs.

Ben Reid·September 20, 2014

Battery retention is a crucially important factor in owning a mobile device, and although the capacity of a battery plays a significant role in determining how long your smartphone or tablet will be able to play games, surf the Web or make calls, it's not the only consideration that should be made. As well as the efficiency of the processor, software can also be optimized for better battery performance, and given that Apple has just bumped its software version from iOS 7.1.2, we'd expect that battery has also improved, right?

Ben Reid·September 20, 2014

Apple's iCloud has never truly competed with the likes of Box, Google Drive et al because while it's fine for backing up, storing documents and other content like a virtual hard drive was never possible. This will all change thanks to the introduction of iCloud Drive, but while Mac users will have to wait for the official unveiling of OS X Yosemite 10.10 to begin using it, Apple has already rolled out a version for those on Windows.
