Just days after Apple did something we didn't expect to see quite so soon - announce a 64-bit smartphone - it seems that the competition is already trying to scramble to catch up after Samsung confirmed that it, too, is set to bring its own 64-bit smartphone to market.
When Apple announced its iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c devices at its big event a couple of days ago, the Cupertino firm also confirmed that it would be making the 5c variant available for pre-order on the 13th of September - a week before it goes on sale alongside the 5c. What Apple did not tell us though, was just when on the 13th the iPhone 5c would be available for pre-order. Now, if information from Verizon and other U.S. carrier partners is to be believed, we have that information.
At this point we've all watched the Apple iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c announcement event from yesterday, but some of it is just worth watching again. High on that list would have to be the Infinity Blade III trailer that we saw Epic Games’ Donald Mustard and his brother playing through on-stage. We got a good idea of what Apple is allowing game makers to do with the iPhone 5s during that demo, and now you can watch the whole trailer online, sans all the Apple stuff either side of it.
iPhone 5s has been announced, and while the keynote confirmed a lot of the rumors and leaks that had been circling the blogosphere for weeks now, it’s time to move on to the real world experience of the shiny new hardware (in a multitude of colors other than the traditional black and white) from the fruit company. Although it will take some time for extensive user experience feedback to develop (not really until the device actually starts shipping), initial benchmarks show that the graphic processing is actually blazing fast, blowing away the iPhone 5 by almost double the margin. Go figure!
So, the iPhone 5s and 5c have finally been revealed after months of speculation, and with the latter available to pre-order in just a couple of days, Apple fans have a bit of a decision to make. The iPhone 5s has certainly pushed the boundaries with a plethora of new features, but while the iPhone 5c may be distinctly similar in terms of hardware to the iPhone 5, its funky design and range of color options will surely render it a hit among consumers. But which will you choose?
We're big fans of the Iron Man series of films here at Redmond Pie, and we're going to go out on a limb and guess that you probably are, too. The movies always do extremely well at the Box Office, and home format sales tend to be pretty great too. That's why Marvel said they were launching a JARVIS-inspired iOS app not long ago along with the launch of Iron Man 3 movie on iTunes, and that app is now live on the App Store.
Apple giveth with one hand, and taketh away with another. We may have been treated to not just one, but two new iPhones within minutes of each other yesterday, but that hasn't stopped Apple from wielding the axe on one of our favorite and yet least used iOS apps - Cards for iPhone.
There's nothing worse than having your expensive iPhone or iPad break except possibly having it break because you've done something to it. Whether you've dropped your iPad and broken the screen or managed to take your iPhone for a swim, accidental damage is often something that follows people around, and can prove to be an expensive mistake.
With iOS 7 out now, attention has turned to when, and if, a iOS 7 jailbreak may be possible. Here, we'll look at the possible leads we have so far, as well as running through the tail-end of the iOS 6.1.x jailbreak situation.
With the announcement and appending release of the new iPhone 5c, and iPhone 5s occurring today at Apple's event, iOS 7 took the main stage just as much as some of the new hardware. The iPhone 5c seems to be a device that has been somewhat built around the software that it is going to be running. iOS 7 is an up to date, fresh and modern take on the skeuomorphic operating system we had all grown to know and love. With that being said, iOS 7 comes packed with a tirade of new, and incredibly useful features that are making the new upgrade a whole lot more tasty.
