Even though we're quite a long way from a release, it's hard not to get just a little bit excited about the iPhone 6, particularly given the reports of two new, decidedly larger devices arriving later this year. The speculation pertaining to a duo of new devices boasting 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display sizes has been incessant, but in a twist, some new sketches appear to suggest that a couple of lower-end, 'iPhone 6c' devices will also arrive with similar display size configurations. What?
New coverage of the iPhone 6 is hitting the blogosphere on a daily basis now, and in the latest, we may have discovered the schematics of the upcoming device. Interestingly, the dimensions marked upon the drawing, throw everything we've heard so far into considerable doubt, with the measurements apparently pointing to a device with a ~5-inch display.
Everyone hates it when two massive companies keep dragging each other through the courts, except lawyers that is. With Apple and Google getting ready to once again duke it out we're being treated to a rare insight into how Apple functioned circa 2007. with the man that was in charge of coming up with the iPhone giving a rare interview.
The MacBook Air is arguably Apple's best portable computer. It's thin, it's light and it's powerful enough for the vast majority of people to do everything they could ever want to.

In the past couple of weeks, we've been hearing quite a bit about Apple's supposed Healthbook endeavors with iOS 8. The app, which will supposedly be structured in a similar manner to which Passbook currently operates in terms of its card-like user interface, is to be a one-stop solution for iOS users looking to focus on health, fitness and wellbeing. Although there's been no word on if, or even how said feature may integrate with Apple's ever-rumored 'iWatch' plans, one concept maker has thrown together an interesting video of how Healthbook may harness the power of iWatch to deliver a complete experience.
The iPhone 5c has been cited by many as a failure, but while the device is assumed not to have sold in as high a number as Apple might have liked, recent predictions from analysts based upon official financial info made available by the Cupertino suggests that the device has actually fared rather well. Even though Apple hasn't offered a breakdown of iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c sales, preferring to release figures under the general, 'iPhone' umbrella, analysts have done their homework and found that over the holiday period of 2013, the iPhone 5c outsold many of the market's flagship handsets.
Over the last few weeks we have seen a lot of attention being paid to the future of Apple's mobile hardware and software. The annual speculation surrounding the next iteration of iOS has inevitably reared it's head ahead of this year's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco.
