The infamous Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi is back today with a new smartphone. Called the Mi 4i, the design, as expected, looks every bit like Apple's iPhone 5c from the outside.
Despite countless reports and Apple having allowed interested parties to check the Apple Watch out firsthand, we knew that some hidden treasures would not be unveiled until after the launch. As well as the numerous stress tests that have begun popping up, we've also been treated to a few teardown demonstrations, which offer a close-up glimpse at the device's innards, and while most of the internal components are arranged as would perhaps be expected, an interesting oxygen-measuring sensor has also reared its head.
It was inevitable that Apple would roll out a few new advertisements this week with its new smartwatch on the horizon, and to coincide with the Apple Watch's launch across nine nations today, a total of three short ads have been released. Aside from each ending with the slogan: "The Watch is here," they all attempt to show the various uses of the device that skeptics are labeling a fad, although unfortunately, anybody unsure as to why they'd need to buy an Apple Watch will probably be no better off after viewing the one-minute shorts.

The successful roll-out of the Apple Watch doesn't simply rest on the devices shipping out to those who pre-ordered it back on April 10th - there are several components to this major new product hitting the ground running. The Apple Watch App Store, complete with a reported 3,000+ apps, has just been launched, and now, the Apple Watch User Guide has also been published online on the Cupertino's very own website, while also being available to download from iBooks.
Amazon has just updated its iOS app which now adds support for the Apple Watch. This new update gives users the ability to search, buy or save products to their wish list right from Cupertino's new wearable.
It's almost Apple Watch time and a number of our favorite apps have been updated to support the impending wearable. Philips Hue, a smart, energy-efficient lighting system that can be controlled directly from iOS, has just brought Apple Watch into the equation with its latest update, letting you easily adjust or turn out the lights without even needing to pick up your iPhone or iPad.
In a world where the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are meant to counter the increasing market share of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the Korean giant's front runner is not really setting the stage on fire at home as far as sales are concerned. According to a new report, Samsung is looking at just 20,000 units sold per day since the phone was released.
The iPod touch hasn't seen any love for quite a while now - two-and-a-half years, to be precise - and with the Apple Watch now at the forefront of attention, the once-revered "iPhone without the phone part" has faded into the abyss. Some have, quite naturally, tipped the demise of the iPod touch, and given that Apple sells as large a variety of iPhone as it ever has - four models with three different display sizes and price points - it's hard to argue. Rumor has it, though, that the iPod touch will be back with a bang, boasting a bumped processor, camera and other enhancements.
