When it comes to the online world, pretty much anything is possible, which is why we need to be extremely careful and vigilant when enjoying the spoils that the cyber world offers. Unfortunately not everyone is as ethical or as moral as we would hope, which is why we need to be on the lookout for Internet scams and those trying to take advantage. The latest malicious plan that Internet users need to be aware of is an Apple ID phishing attempt that looks deceptively realistic.
The number of larger iPad, or so-called 'iPad Pro' reports have been aplenty over the past six or so months, and a new piece over at DigiTimes, which claims that Apple is aiming to drop the 12.9-inch slab by the third quarter of this year, only serves to fuel this burning fire. Once upon a time, the blogosphere would have laughed at any notion of Apple delivering a slate so much larger than the full-sized iPad Air, but the iPad mini has shown that under Tim Cook, anything is apparently possible, and the iPad Pro will serve as the higher-end option for consumers seeking the ultimate performance.
Apple looks to be ramping up its OS X 10.9 Mavericks fixing schedule, with OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 now in its second beta phase after the company made a new version available for developers to download for testing.
Being the raging tech fans that we are, particularly when it comes to new and exciting gadgetry, it should come as very little surprise that talk has already progressed with regards to the next iPhone. Depending on what's being said and who's saying it, Apple could be planning another two-pronged assault on the smartphone market, and although the iPhone 5c and 5s represented the first dual release since the iPhone's inception, it's fair to say that we could be in for a couple of even more exciting treats this time around. We spoke earlier of the possibility of a 5.5-inch and 4.7-inch model, and although the report was based on some loose estimations, once concept maker has already come through with some intriguing renders of a 4.7-inch iPhone 6. Check it out in all of its glory after the break!
Arguably the most distinguishing feature of the iPhone 5s was its Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which made it all the more unique not just from all other iPhones, iPod touches and iPads, but rather, any other smartphone on the market as well. However, one issue that this caused potentially for the newest iPhone’s availability was low production rates, resulting in long wait times for even early adopters. Now, according to a recent report from DigiTimes, the TSMC, Apple’s supplier for fingerprint sensors, is not only gearing up to initiate production in Q2 this year, but also on a larger scale, in hopes to meet the production needs and demands for the upcoming iPhone 6 that is probably going to get released at the end of this year.
Apple chose today to out a new iPad ad that will probably go down as one of our favorites, with an ad break during the NFL Playoffs chosen as the perfect time to show the new ad.

When Apple renamed the iPad, preferring to go with the iPad Air designation, everyone came to the logical conclusion that Apple must, presumably, be working on a new iPad that it would eventually call the iPad Pro. This assumption is obviously based on the fact that Apple's MacBook lineup has both an Air and a Pro model. After all, why change the name of the iPad at all if Apple wasn't planning on introducing something alongside it?
Nokia, which was recently subject to an acquisition by close partner Microsoft, has struggled in the smartphone industry since the iPhone came into play, but while lackluster sales are largely attributable to the Windows Phone ecosystem, there's no question that the devices themselves - particularly the cameras - are of the highest order. DPReview has pitted the revered 41-megapixel sensor of the Lumia 1020 and the 8-megapixel rear-facing snapper of the iPhone 5s against some of its favorite DSLRs, and aside from other findings, determined that the Nokia camera is more than just a little bit better than that of its rival. In fact, it's far, far superior.
Even after so many rounds of patent disputes in court, and many wins and losses, Samsung and Apple always manage to make the headline from time to time, one way or the other. Everyone involved in this dispute knows that things can't continue down that path all the time, which is why the CEOs of Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics have agreed to meet as part of a mediated session on February 19th.
The iPhone 5s may have been on the market for less than three months, but as we've come to expect with twelve month release cycles, talk of its eventual successor is already more than under way. We've heard a bunch of stories through the grapevine hitherto, including talk of at least one model with a larger display, and today, CTech has posted what it claims to be the frame of such a device.
