With CES just around the corner all eyes are very much on the world’s largest technology companies, with everyone eager to see what will be announced during the Las Vegas event.

Being able to get refunds for apps bought via the App Store has been at the center of much discussion for some time. While Google gives downloaders two hours to request a refund for apps they bought by mistake or that simply don’t work as advertised, Apple has never really given any proper indication as to its own policy.

Samsung has just announced an updated version of the Galaxy Note 4 which is able to achieve speeds of up to 300Mbps over LTE compared to 150Mbps on the currently available model. How and when did this happen? We take a look at it after the jump.
One of the bigger quirks of iOS 8 running on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is the Reachability feature in these devices, which essentially allows for a convenient one-handed operation despite the large display size of both these phones. In reality, Apple's implementation of one-handed UI for iOS 8 is better than what any other manufacturer has been able to achieve.
