Everyone must know by now that Apple and Samsung just don't get along very well. In fact, it's safe to say that the two warring technology giants have never been on worse terms than they are today, what with the $1 billion dollar court case and all.
Although iOS 6 didn't exactly pack in a mind-blowing level of new features, quite a few significant alterations were made to what existed with the previous version.

Most of us - when shopping for a new mobile device - look for features like a fast processor, decent display resolution, respectable battery life and a reasonable camera.

Given that the desktop department of Apple's two main operating systems now borrows many features of iOS, these simultaneous releases should be expected, and if you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, this is an update you most certainly won't want to miss.
All the talk and column inches are understandably being devoted to Apple's iPhone 5 right now. Always guaranteed to get attention, large hardware releases will have the pulse racing for many people, whether that be due to the urge to splash the cash, or the distinct feeling that Apple is holding something back.
