One ambitious concept maker has crafted an interesting render of what a Google Glass-esque product might look like if Apple's design team was at the helm. It features, among other perks, a micro projector that beams content directly onto the lens, and while it seems far-fetched that such a slimline, stylish look could be achievable at this point in time, the designer suggests that Apple's own face computer could be something to consider in years to come.
Ever wondered what would happen if you ran an iPhone 6 Plus over with a tank? No, us neither. Someone didn't just wonder though. They did it. Twice.
A new lithium-ion battery technology has surfaced which apparently allows it to be recharged to the 70% mark in a lightning fast 2 minutes time. Better yet, the battery’s life span has been increased to 20 years as well, sparking some serious ground-breaking possibilities and applications.
Personalizing your iPhone is great fun, but we always find ourselves paralyzed by indecision. Do we go for that brightly colored sports motif or a dark and sinister wallpaper that makes us look all edgy while making it possible to actually read what our notifications say?
On the other side of the world, where we often meet ourselves, is an array of mobile app icons that can be brutally honest to you if you give it a chance. Icons help you quickly identify one app from the other, but what tells you what that app is really meant for, or what their existence means to you and your mobile device. As I eerily tread borderline 'cuckoo', I'll ask you if you believe in any stereotype characterizations for some of the famous smartphone apps out there.
Apple's iPhone 6 has already sold tens of millions of units across the globe, and with some 20 million Chinese consumers having also secured themselves a unit in the run-up to the launch in China later on this week, we're still not able to put a ballpark figure next to the device's success. But given the popularity, Apple is regularly faced with imitations, and now Lenovo, which is currently in the process of purchasing Motorola from Google, has come through with a mid-range handset that appears an almost carbon copy of the mobile industry's current must-have.
The iOS vs. Android debate has been the rage for quite some time now in this world of mobile technology. And on top of that, Apple vs. Samsung lawsuits are hardly surprising anymore today. However, that said, Apple has been around way longer than Google has, and so has Microsoft. The rivalry between Apple and Microsoft is one based primarily on the computer generation, starting from the earliest days of the desktop. To this age, the OS X vs. Windows debate carries on, where PC users are corporate drones, and Mac users are well, blinded by brand. To their defense, PC users are a more intelligent breed while their Mac counterparts are creative thinkers with a taste for aesthetics. What does this speak about the general users of these brands? Are these consumers really that different from one another or is this where the dissimilarities end? We find out, right after the jump!
Siri, Apple's famed voice assistant, has been parodied umpteen times, and has once again been utilized for the purpose of pure entertainment in a new comedy sketch. As ever, it's pretty funny, and below, you can check it out.
As well as opening up the keyboard aspect of its mobile software to third parties, Apple's iOS 8 has also treated the stock offering to a much-needed overhaul. The autocorrect-befuddled experience that users had begrudgingly grown accustomed to was certainly below the standards being set on Google's Android, but as well as introducing some SwiftKey-like features to the iOS 8 typing repertoire, Apple has also brought a more substantial predictive text to the fore. Not only will it correct your sentences within the context of what you've written before - unlike Auto-correct for the most part - but it'll also have a pretty good pop at guessing the next word in your sequence. One cartoonist thought it would be interesting / entertaining to see whether iOS 8's new keyboard could pick up on famous movie quotes using predictive text, and while it didn't exactly come up trumps, it did produce some quite hilarious alternatives.
Now that Consumer Reports has released its report into whether the iPhone 6 Plus bends too easily or not, we're all of the desperate hope that the whole Bendgate debacle will die a death as soon as possible. Even if it does though, there's always someone willing to take something that's already a little bit crazy and then take it to an extreme that few could imagine.
