Ben Reid·September 11, 2014

Viber, a fierce rival to Skype in the world of VoIP, has just added a neat video calling feature to its mobile apps' repertoires, and not before time. Having remained a voice calling and instant-messaging service for a number of years on mobile, it's now adding what most would see as a fairly necessary, if not critical feature, and with both the iOS and Android apps having been updated and rolled out simultaneously, we've got the details and download links right here.

Apple To Start Digital Queuing System For iPhone 6 At Stores To Simplify Buying Process

Ben Reid·September 11, 2014

Apple's iPhone launch days are always busy, and if you've ever previously queued for the latest device on the very first morning, you'll know that it can be a long, tedious wait. Sure, the system whereby staff hand out paper cards, detailing the exact configuration of the iPhone you require is efficient, since it means you're not wasting time if the specific handset you want has sold out, but given the technology at Apple's disposal, the process does seem rather antiquated. This is why, on iPhone 6 launch day, Apple will be rolling out an entirely new, digital queuing system, a revamp of the old model that is more precise and flexible for customers.

Size Comparison: iPhone 6 Plus Vs Galaxy Note 4 Vs Lumia 1520 Vs LG G3

Ben Reid·September 11, 2014

Apple's announcement of the iPhone 6 Plus is not only significant in that it's a great deal larger than any smartphone the company has created before, but it also drafts the Cupertino company into the realm of the "phablet." A term derived from the combination of phone and tablet, these large handsets have taken the smartphone world by storm over the past few years, and while Samsung's Galaxy Note was the originator of this niche market, it now shares this space with several rivaling vendors. Below, you can take a look at how the iPhone 6 Plus stands up - in terms of size and specs, both - against the also-new Galaxy Note 4, Nokia's Lumia 1520 and LG's mammoth G3.

Ben Reid·September 10, 2014

Given the recent spate of celebrity phone compromising, allied to the fact that Apple is about to roll out its new mobile payment system with iOS 8 and the new iPhone 6 / 6 Plus, and it's fair to say that these are testing times for the company. From a security point of view, the Mac maker will want to avoid any more high-profile gaffes as it looks to win the trust of the consumer market, and although the new iOS 8 GM has fixed some vulnerabilities first highlighted by a seasoned security researchdf, a few still continue to linger.

Apple To Reportedly Acquire ‘Path’ Social Network, Wants To Integrate It With Messages

Ben Reid·September 10, 2014

Social network Path is a beautiful, functional and cross-platform app that is used by many, but despite its credentials and promise, has been somewhat crowded out by Facebook, Twitter et al. It's hard not to check out from time to time because it's simply such a pleasure to use, but ultimately, it's quite dormant, with users generally only checking in when they remember to. An acquisition by a big-name company could soon rejuvenate Path and turn its fortunes around, and according to a report, Apple is planning on buying the app and integrating it with its own Messages infrastructure.

iPhone 6 / iPhone 6 Plus Reachability (One Handed Use) Feature Demoed On Video

Ben Reid·September 10, 2014

Apple has never been one to dive head-first into a new mobile craze, preferring to hold back, refine the process or feature, and join the party fashionably late. Samsung may be on its fourth top-end phablet already thanks to the dual-release of the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge at last week's IFA, but three years after Berlin played host to the original Galaxy Note, Apple today gave those who craved iOS over a larger canvas something to savor. In the run-up to today's events, it was suggested that Apple's device would include a 'one-handed mode' for comfortable use of a potentially unwieldy device, and with the announcement, we got a taster of "Reachability." Now, we have a video demo to gawk at.

Ben Reid·September 10, 2014

There was much speculation as to what Apple's two-pronged assault on the smartphone market would mean for last year's iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s, but while the long-term futures of these two handsets is uncertain, the Cupertino company seems happy to retail both alongside the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus for the time being. Naturally, each has been dropped in price, and as well as being able to grab the iPhone 5s on contract for just $99 now, folks can also avail the iPhone 5c free of charge on a two-year package.
