During Apple’s WWDC keynote in June, the company mentioned that a public beta of OS X 10.11 El Capitan would be available in July. While El Capitan has been available for developers since its announcement at WWDC, Apple recently pushed out the public beta for non-developers to install on their Macs. We’ve been using it for a few days and here our top five favorite features in the latest version of OS X that is set to officially release in the fall.
Known for making high-quality accessories for numerous devices, Logitech has today announced a bunch of new cases for the iPad lineup under its new marketing brand "Logi." The new BLOK family of iPad cases promises level of protection unlike before.
Apple Watch will get support for video playback with watchOS 2 scheduled for release this fall. Maybe then we'll see Hulu and other apps adding support for video playback capability on the Watch. For now though, you can use the updated Hulu app for iOS to remote control playback of Hulu content right from their wrist.
2015 is expected to be an extremely busy time for Apple, especially for new hardware releases. In addition to introducing and revealing the new iPhone 6s in the fall, the Cupertino company is also expected to introduce a number of new iPad tablets before the year's end. If a new report coming out of Taiwan is to be believed then it looks like fans of Apple's 9.7-inch iPad could be left disappointed with suggestions that the iPad Air may not welcome in a third-generation device until 2016.
Samsung may still be one of the largest smartphone vendors out there at the moment but the company undeniably has a lot of improvement to make after suffering its seventh consecutive early loss in profits. After pinning its hopes on the Galaxy S6, Samsung is now hoping that the soon-to-be-released Galaxy Note 5 will make a worldwide impact on its profits. In addition to that, the company has also taken the opportunity to introduce the extremely stylish and new Galaxy A8 smartphone in China today.

Speculation regarding Apple's upcoming iPhone 6s is starting to come through thick and fast. We now well and truly find ourselves in the middle of that exciting, and sometimes frustrating, period where new visual and technical specification leaks come out of the woodwork from those who claim to have "familiarity with the situation." We can already be fairly confident that Apple's iPhone 6s will come with Force Touch capabilities, as well as being offered in a new color option that has been described as either Rose Gold or Pink, so naturally, those Chinese clone manufacturers have jumped immediately onto the bandwagon and produced a $200 clone of the iPhone 6s complete with the speculated new color option.
One of the surprise aspects of the Apple Watch has turned out to be its rather unexpected water resistance, if not waterproofing capabilities. Apple has cautiously given its first wrist worn gadget an IPX7 water resistance rating and warns users against submerging the Watch completely in water. But as it turns out, Apple's wrist-slapped contraption goes well beyond that, at least as far as its physical aspects are concerned, and one developer is already exploring these possibilities for tracking water based activities.
