Apple has today released a new iPhone 5s commercial that is guaranteed to pull the heart’s strings. The perfectly timed video ad follows the company's annual trend of releasing a product commercial at this time of year, this time featuring the flagship iPhone 5s smartphone capturing high-definition video of the family Christmas festivities. The iPhone is then used in conjunction with an Apple TV and Apple's AirPlay protocol to allow the 'Harris' family to watch the video together on a big screen TV.
We’ve been hearing a lot of news recently that Facebook might just introduce a ‘dislike’ button, or a ‘sympathize’ button as some are calling it, so that users have a medium of conveying their negative feelings for a post.
Yahoo's Weather app came as a bit of a surprise when it first hit the App Store back in April. The surprise wasn't so much in the fact that the app had arrived, as we'd been expecting it for a good while beforehand, but what we weren't anticipating, was how gorgeous and refined these weather apps would be. For many iOS users, Yahoo Weather has become their go-to utility for checking precipitation, temperature, wind speed and whatnot, and now, the company has pushed out a significant update that brings support for the Apple iPad.
Managing email on the go is a lot easier than it used to be thanks to the slick, practical interfaces of our smartphones and tablets, but as powerful as the apps and hardware may be, things can sometimes border tedious. Searching for an old email in the stock iOS Mail app is almost always a cumbersome affair if you happen to have forgotten those key search terms that would locate it with little or no trouble, but since you're stumped on that one, you're left hopelessly trawling through tens of thousands of old, mostly useless emails. We did some digging and it turns out that finding an old, important mail is actually not that difficult at all.
Apple gets more than its fair share of stick for supposedly not being innovative enough these days, but that wasn't what everyone was saying when the iPhone was first announced in 2007. Offering what, at the time, was the holy grail of mobile telecommunications in something the size of a smartphone, the iPhone was a truly revolutionary device.
As if the existing concepts weren’t enough already, SET Solution has come up with a new one for the upcoming (next year, of course) iPhone 6 (or whatever it gets to be called in the end) - one that takes on a completely different subject, that of security. This new concepts shows iPhone 6 taking a leap further from Touch ID and integrating what SET is calling ‘EYE ID’ - a retinal scanner to provide security and safety on your iPhone.
Apple released iOS 7.1 beta 2 earlier today. Here we take a look at all the changes in iOS 7.1 beta 2 as well as first impressions of the new seed after a few hours of use.
A short while ago, we checked out the incredibly cool - not a term I use lightly - smartphone-controlled paper airplane by the name of PowerUp 3.0. The concept was simple: make yourself a paper airplane, connect it to the precision-crafted hardware, and, using the app, fly it around for half an hour. With that product having raised over $600,000 (of a $50,000 goal) with many weeks still to go, another product has emerged to try to pique the interest of flight enthusiasts, and it's arguably even more exciting than the PowerUp 3.0.
It's a sad fact of the fast-moving tech world that a device doesn't even need to have released nowadays before we deem it acceptable to begin talking about its eventual successor, and despite the iPhone 5s being lauded by many as the best thing since sliced bread, we've already heard reports of the next iPhone boasting a larger display. Until we have any solid evidence, though, everything we hear or see is more than likely the figment of somebody's imagination, and the concepts below, which are most certainly conjured from deep within the creative minds of one design agency, show us what a curved iPhone 6c, alongside an iPhone Air, may look like.
Of all the games to benefit from the smartphone boom, Cut The Rope has emerged triumphant. Despite the App and Google Play Stores both having popularized hundreds of great titles, a few, such as Angry Birds, Tiny Wings and Temple Run stick in the mind as stand-outs, and Cut The Rope must surely be revered among these other modern classics. As has been common knowledge for a while now, the sequel, appropriately entitled Cut The Rope 2, is incoming, and today, the first official game play trailer has been released.
