This year, we've been in the rather unprecedented position of having access to iPhone 6 mockups many months in advance the manufacturing process, which is apparently set to commence at some point over the next couple of weeks. But while recent leaks of the device's rear shell appear to have corroborated the many 3D print-outs we've seen of the upcoming handset, a new report suggests that the antenna's design will greatly differ from what we've been seeing so far.
You may have already heard of gold iPhones being sold for silly money to anyone daft enough to buy them, but the 'Caviar iPhone 5s Supremo Putin' takes things one step further by engraving Russian premier Vladimir Putin's bonce on the back of it. In fact, just to make sure you get your patriotism badge - assuming you're Russian, that is - the phone even has the first two lines of the country's national anthem as well as its coat of arms engraved for good measure. Well, if something's worth doing, it's worth doing right, after all.
The Pangu iOS 7.1.1 jailbreak team has finally made available download links of Mac version of their now infamous tool. Pangu jailbreak tool was originally released for Windows last week.
The Philips Hue really brought the idea of a smartphone and tablet-controlled lighting system to the mainstream, and since then, we've not looked back. The only problem with Hue and several other alternatives that have since spawned is that, by and large, they're pretty expensive. However, if you want the convenience and undeniable "cool" factor that comes with controlling an LED bulb using only your handset, then this new, app-assisted solution for iPhone not only energy-efficient, but also price-efficient as well.
The weekend is here, folks, and as ever, the deals just don't stop coming in.

There's no doubt that most of us consult with our mobile devices way too frequently. When sitting on any subway train, just take a moment to have a look around, and I would be willing to bet that the vast majority are consumed by their smartphones, playing Candy Crush, Flappy Bird, or anything to pass the time. If we had a counter keeping track and informing us of precisely how many seconds, minutes and hours of our lives we continue to fritter away on these digital wonders, I'd also be willing to stake big bucks that we'd be left aghast by the figure, and thanks to the endeavors of one developer, there's an app for that.
The Pangu untethered jailbreak released earlier on this week came as something of a surprise. Nobody had previously heard much of the Chinese development team behind it, and the impromptu nature of the release seemed to bring about quite a bit of scaremongering. But once the early worries regarding malware and such were put to rest through the utterances of iH8sn0w, MuscleNerd and others, many of you went ahead and jailbroke your devices using Pangu, and we want to know whether you've taken the plunge and jumped on this for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Apple's product range is famous for a number of reasons. The sleek design is one, and that iconic bitten-apple logo is another, but the seamless manner in which devices and software interacts, notably through services like AirPlay, continues to promote the company's "it just works" philosophy. In the company's continued quest to expand and diversify its products and services, the Cupertino company is apparently considering the idea of pushing its own Smart Home hardware, which would once again integrate harmoniously with associated Apple devices, and although it's still a project very much on the drawing board, it's something that Apple is reportedly dedicating a fair amount of resources into advancing.
iPhone 6 mockups have been fairly ubiquitous over the past few months, with practically anybody in ownership of a 3D printer able to own a replica of Apple's upcoming device. But with the manufacturing process set to be commencing imminently, we're now starting to see some legitimate leaks of the actual housing for the Cupertino's next smartphone, and thanks to a new video, you can take a closer look at the outer shell of the iPhone 6.
