Given that Apple overhauled the design language of its mobile platform with iOS 7, it is reckoned that OS X, its desktop counterpart, will be treated to a similar makeover later this year. According to a new report, OS X 10.10 will be the central software announcement made at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2014) in June, with Apple supposedly keen to peddle the significant alterations being made to the Mac software.
Following a leak yesterday that offered a very refined look at what the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 might look like from the rear, another plausible video has emerged showcasing a full-on mock-up of the forthcoming handset. Based upon design schematics revealed back in March, it gives us yet another glimpse of what the handset may look like to hold in real life, and given that it incorporates design features that have each been reported multiple times, this is perhaps the most accurate illustration of the upcoming handset that we've seen so far.
We're already getting a little overly giddy at the idea of Apple finally bringing a larger iPhone to market, and the increasing number of leaks that appear to corroborate that notion isn't making it any easier for us. While it's very true that the iPhone 5 was indeed larger than all the iPhones that came before it, there's no arguing against the fact that most would gladly buy a phone from Apple that narrowed the size gap between Apple's smartphone and all those Android phones we see everyone lugging around.
Alongside a myriad of new Apple products, the enigmatic iWatch is set to make its debut in the third quarter of this year, and according to reports out of China, the production process for the wearable device has already commenced. At this stage, the Cupertino company is not said to be manufacturing the wrist-worn gadget in significant quantities, however the report in question does go on to note that the iWatch is still slated for a fall release.
Even though we're still a good five months away from the projected release of Apple's next smartphone, this fact hasn't halted the continued wave of rumors, leaks and speculation regarding the iPhone 6. One area in which Apple always improves its famed handset is the rear-facing camera, and according to reports out of China, Apple has some very big plans to enhance the snapper of its forthcoming flagship.
It was just yesterday when we got a glimpse of the updated 2014 MacBook Air specs, and today, as expected, said updates are upon us. And we have all the details right here.
From what we've managed to glean so far, the next-gen iPhone will be both larger and thinner than the current iPhone 5s, offering a substantially increased 4.7-inch display that goes edge-to-edge. But how much slimmer will the next model be than the current flagship? Well, according to a case mold of the so-called "iPhone 6," it will be around the same depth as the latest iPod touch, which, if you've held the device alongside an iPhone 5s, is quite a significant drop.
Last week it was revealed that the MacBook Air range would almost certainly be afforded a rudimentary refresh, including possible processor enhancement among a series of other minor tweaks. It is believed that said 2014 MacBook Air upgrade will arrive on Tuesday, and on the eve of the roll-out, a leaked shot appears to confirm all of the key details.
At the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, Apple is expected to take the wraps off iOS 8, and in the last couple of months, we've been hearing all sorts of rumors with regards to what features and improvements will be added. A new concept, as well as a rather dubious leak, have almost simultaneously emerged in the wild, and with just over a month left until the grand unveiling, these new developments may offer even more of an insight into what the Cupertino has up its sleeve.
Apple is no stranger to hardware problems with its iPhone lineup. Even ignoring the infamous Antennagate fiasco, the iPhone has been plagued by perceived hardware issues across just about all of its iterations. The iPhone 5 already had fingers pointed at its inability to keep its anodized color for any longer than the time it took to take it out of the box, and now the model is the subject of a recall of sorts.
