When you make a purchase on an auction site like eBay, there's an element of trust and a great dose of user integrity involved. You buy something expecting to receive the item as described / presented, but there are always going to be issues with this format. One user discovered this in quite bizarre circumstances recently when he snapped up the apparent bargain of the century with the $450 purchase of a MacBook, only to find, upon delivery, that it was just a picture of the device. Ouch!
Not that Apple's first iPhone needed any more publicity to that massive success it has evolved into, but did you know that Barack Obama was one of those lucky few people who got a sneak peek at Apple's then-prototype? Read on after the jump what the American President's opinion was on the unreleased smartphone that would go on to change the whole industry.
Sodium acetate, otherwise known as 'hot ice', is a pretty awesome solution since, when disrupted by a cool object, it quickly morphs from a liquid to a crystallized, ice-like composition. The reason for this little bit of background information is because one YouTuber has decided to see what happens to one of tech's most sought-after devices when submerged in hot ice, and as you've probably guessed from the title, the "cool object" in this instance is none other than the Apple iPhone 6. As you may also have gleaned from past experiments of this nature, the results are pretty darned epic.
Mophie, the company famous for its Juice Pack battery cases for the iPhone, has released a new TV spot for Super Bowl, putting it back under the spotlight once again. Head on after the break to watch what the fuss is all about.
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus may only be a few months old, but already, the tech world has begun speculating on what's next. It's not uncommon for this to be the case, particularly in the smartphone industry, and in fact, talk of the "iPhone 6s" or "iPhone 7" has been prevalent since the arrival of the latest models way back in September. Given that we're now approaching the halfway point of the iPhone 6's shelf life, it actually makes sense to assess where Apple may next take its prized asset, and one designer has pulled together some renders that have us hoping that the Cupertino company is watching.
The so-called "iPad Air Plus," a bit like the supposedly impending Retina MacBook Air, has been rumored ad nauseam over the past year or two, and despite the Cupertino company's preoccupation with several other products including Apple Watch, reports still indicate that a larger tablet will be hitting the scene in the very near future. To keep the pool of ideas well stocked, one of our favorite designers has come through with some new renders of the elusive slate, which, notably, includes a stylus.
Looking forward to Apple revealing its 12-inch must-haves this year? These iPad Air Plus and 12-inch MacBook Air concept renderings will help compare the two devices side by side, especially the size. Head on after the jump for further details.
We've seen a large number of concept products being bandied around the Internet over the last few years. Apart from the usual "next-generation iPhone or iPad" mockups and the "here's what Apple's next MacBook" will look like concepts, we've also had designers and engineers producing artwork for futuristic cars, robots with advanced artificial intelligence, and even invisible cloaks. With that in mind, it doesn't seem so bizarre that a team of individuals have put their collective brains together and invented the "Mouse-Box" concept; an everyday looking mouse with an actual functioning computer built inside of it.
A ‘supposed’ prototype of the Apple Watch has just been sold on eBay for a good $260. Well, as it turns out and as common sense prevails, it's a fake. Read on after the jump for more on this, and how the yet-to-be-released smartwatch from Cupertino is already inspiring fake copies.
A new iPhone 6 knockoff has surfaced in China, and even though it's not identical to the real thing, it's not a bad clone either.
