In terms of tech product design, Apple's Jony Ive is arguably the most iconic. The somewhat enigmatic, cult figure of the Cupertino company has not only been responsible for some of the most memorable gadgets of our times, but was also the mastermind behind Apple's recent design overhaul of the iOS mobile operating system. If you cast your minds way back, you might remember the news that Sir Jony would be designing a one-off camera for Leica, and as first seen in November's Vanity Fair, the creation is just about ready.
It had to be the worst kept secret in the technology industry, and just about anyone with even a passing interest in Apple or iPads already knew that it was on the cards, but Apple is indeed set to hold an iPad announcement event later this month according to AllThingsD.
With each new iPhone that Apple releases it doubles up its photo-taking abilities. Supposedly the world's favorite camera, the iPhone needs to be able to take some top shots, especially with the competition heating up - Nokia in particular seems keen to become the smartphone maker of choice for those taking photographs on a daily basis.
Google's Eric Schmidt is no stranger to opening his mouth and having some strange, often outlandish words come out. The man who was famously once described as Google's 'adult supervision' during some of its most successful years, Schmidt has been known to put his foot in his mouth on more than the odd occasion.
Samsung has been in quite a bit of hot water lately. As well as dropping two Galaxy S4 Gold Edition right after the launch of the Gold iPhone 5s, the company was then found to be severely cooking the books with certain flagship handsets in order to yield favorable results in benchmark tests. Now, it would seem the Korean giant is up to another one of its old tricks - copying Apple - and as you'll see below, the ad for its Galaxy Gear smartwatch is very much the same as that of the original iPhone.
The introduction of the colorful iPhone 5c managed to raise concern levels amongst analysts who feared for the future of Apple, especially when put together with the iPhone 5s that many thought didn't represent a big enough improvement on last year's iPhone 5. Those fears were quickly laid to rest when Apple announced that opening weekend sales of the two devices had managed to break all of their existing sales records. We now have additional confirmation of the success of the new iPhone, with it being reported that the 5s was the biggest selling device on all four major American carriers last month.
They say that time passes quicker the older you get, which might explain why we're almost at the 2nd anniversary of Steve Jobs' death after the Apple co-founder, visionary and CEO passed following complications relating to his cancer. The time really has flown, and Apple shows no sign of forgetting its shining light.
Apple's Siri, which made its debut alongside the launch on the iPhone 4s, has been a mainstay of iOS ever since, and although it isn't as widely used as the Cupertino company might have predicted when it was first implemented, the sheer number of automobile manufacturers alone currently integrating it into new cars speaks volumes for its potential.
The iPhone 5c has been selling well, but not quite iPhone 5s-well, which is possibly why the folks at Best Buy have decided to try and give Apple's new mid-range iPhone something of a helping hand in the old sales stakes.
