As with any new Apple gadget, let alone the flagship iPhone, the rumors of the iPhone 5's successor have been at the fore ever since, well.. since the iPhone 5's first weekend sales figures were posted last fall. When it comes to modern technology, we cannot help but speculate on what might be packed into the next installment, and things got a little more real this weekend with the revelation that the device could be announced on September 10th. But while many consumers may have hoped this would mean they could upgrade their handsets next month, but according to a TechManiacs report, the world's most sought-after smartphone may not hit shelves until October 25th.
Regardless of personal preference, it's always fascinating and enlightening to research the history of a company to see what has put them into the position they are in today. It isn't only company history that is intriguing, however. We should all know Apple's back story by now, but it also seems that the iPhone's default text messaging tone also has an interesting past.
Until Apple see fit to release of the next generation iPhone, which may be sooner than you think, the iPhone 5 is the hottest competition from the iOS camp for the Android flagships, the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4. For this reason, if anyone is wanting to pick up an iPhone 5 in the coming weeks, you may want to think on it just a little bit. From my experience with both the HTC One and the iPhone 5, both are incredibly capable devices, but there is certainly enough differences to bring you 10 reasons which top the One above the 5. These can be found in the video embedded at the end of this post.
We're hitting that time of year in which talk and rumor of a new smartphone from a certain California-based company begins to gather steam. This year, however, we could be in for a double-whammy, with the consensus -- backed up by a boatload of leaks -- indicating that Apple could be releasing a low-cost "iPhone 5C" to accompany the flagship "iPhone 5S." Today, Vietnamese site Tinhte -- fairly astute when it comes to legitimate leaks of Apple products -- has its hands on mockups of both the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S, and for the benefit of the tech world, has released a bunch of shots of the devices side-by-side.
If you've been following the goings-on with the many betas and preview releases Apple currently has running, you will certainly have caught wind of the security breach to the Developer Program last month, which saw significant downtime and disruption to services. After almost two weeks of nothingness, the system was finally restored enough to resume near-usual service, and now, a month on from the initial problem, the whole program has now been officially reported as back on track.
In breaking news, the International Trade Commission (ITC) has just delivered its verdict on a long-running case between Apple and Samsung, ruling in favor of Apple in a decision that will see certain Samsung devices banned from import to the US. The case has been running for a number of years, and this particular ordeal began when Apple counter-sued Samsung in 2011 after the Galaxy maker claimed that a handful of the Cupertino-based company's devices were infringing on its patents.
With Apple currently in the process of developing a bunch of new software products ready for release later on this year, the technology industry has been looking on with great intrigue. iOS 7 has, quite naturally, dominated the headlines, but OS X Mavericks 10.9 is also clocking up its fair share of preview releases ahead of its own debut, which should come significantly earlier than its mobile-tailored counterpart. In recent times, we've seen Apple bring quite a few of iOS's features over to its desktop OS in what has been dubbed an "iOS-ification," and whilst the changes to Mavericks don't seem to bear as many iOS hallmarks as Mountain Lion, designer Stu Crew has tried to paint a picture of what OS X Mavericks could look like if given the same design makeover as iOS 7.
Somehow, some way, some iPhone camera lenses manage to collet dirt beneath the surface. Nobody knows how it gets there - particularly considering how the manufacturing process is such that this kind of thing should not happen - but even if you haven't ever opened up your device before, it's still possible that specks have accumulated in your camera. Naturally, you're probably wondering if there's a way to fix this issue, and we're here to tell you that, provided you've the right tools and a little patience: there is!
We've been covering each and every beta release of iOS 7, and just to offer more than a list of features and changes, I've been offering my early thoughts on each new release of Apple's iOS beta program. Usually those thoughts come after a few hours of use, but this fifth iteration of iOS 7 has been running on my iPhone 5 for a full day this time around, so the idea is that I've been able to get more time with the update under my belt. In truth though, it's all starting to get a little bit meh.
