Watch: Samsung Releases Official Galaxy Note 4 Bend Test Video

Ben Reid·October 3, 2014

Samsung versus Apple is one of the most fiercely contested battles in the mobile industry, but while these two titans of tech regularly astonish us with their products, they're both often inclined to take matters down to an infantile, school yard level. When Apple first launched the iPhone 6 early last month, the Korean outfit was one of a host of companies to baulk at its rival's decision to implement features that it, along with others, had been peddling for years, and with the recent Bendgate scandal - such as it is - Sammy has once again attempted to laud over its arch nemesis.

How To Add Facebook, Twitter Share Widget In iOS 8 Notification Center

Ben Reid·October 3, 2014

iOS 5 and iOS 6 introduced some social integration features which, among other things, allowed users to quickly post tweets and Facebook status updates right from the Notification Center using a simple tap. It was a convenient, effective way for users to get their 2 cents in without too much hassle, but with iOS 8, it's not longer a feature. But with Apple having given third-party developers a license to develop third-party Notification Center widgets - something only previously available via jailbreak - the NC can now be filled up with useful shortcuts and functions, and one dev has naturally seized the opportunity to re-introduced those sorely-missed functions.

New And Detailed Nexus 6 Renders Reveal Stark Similarities To 2nd-Gen Moto X [Images]

Ben Reid·October 2, 2014

From what we know of the upcoming Google Nexus 6, should that indeed be its name, it will include a large, 2K display, run on the all-new Android L, and instead of LG, will this time be manufactured by Motorola. Given that the Google subsidiary has taken the manufacturing reigns, it should come as no surprise that the leaks of the Nexus 6 have revealed a number of Motorola-inspired design quirks, and in a new set of renders, we get clear look of the overall aesthetic.

iPhone 6 And iPhone 6 Plus Exceeds 2 Million Reservations In China In Just 6 Hours

Ben Reid·October 2, 2014

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus may have launched across some 30 markets over the past couple of weeks, but the grand roll-out of Apple's latest smartphone is far from complete. The company has, over the past few years, increased retail and promotional efforts in China, with the nation's three major carriers all now supported and able to offer top-level cellular speeds, and although the October 17th retail date for Chinese iPhone 6 fans amounts to a delay of one month compared with the UK, US and several others, fans of the handset remain undeterred. Apple and its carrier partners won't be taking pre-orders for at least a week, but with reservations having begun across various outlets, some 2 million devices have already been secured in just six hours.

Apple’s Activation Lock Status Tool Lets You Check If An iPhone Is Stolen Or Not

Paul Morris·October 2, 2014

Apple has added a section to the existing iCloud.com domain that will allow users to easily check and determine whether or not an iOS device is currently protected via the Find my iPhone Activation Lock initiative, or in other words, whether the device being sold is stolen or not. The new section is a simple Web page that allows anyone with the IMEI or serial number of an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to check the Activation Lock status of that individual device in an effort to protect themselves against purchasing a piece of hardware that cannot be used without the original owner’s iCloud credentials.

Pioneer Releases First Aftermarket CarPlay In-Dash System [VIDEO]

Ben Reid·October 2, 2014

Earlier on this year, Apple rolled out iOS 7.1 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and among a number of changes, bug fixes and new additions, one of the flagship features was the introduction of CarPlay. Announced as iOS in the Car back at WWDC 2013, CarPlay means that users could remain connected while driving without distraction from the road, and not only does the feature promote road safety, but also offers a broad range of functionality thanks largely to the Siri voice assistant. It has long since been known that audio giant Pioneer would be among the first to retail its own fleet of aftermarket, CarPlay-ready infotainment systems, and today, five of its line-up will offer full-on support of Apple's in-car flavor of iOS via firmware update.

The Ultimate iPhone 6 Plus Bend Test [Video]

Ben Reid·October 2, 2014

Apple's early iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sales figures suggest that everything in the Cupertino's walled garden is rosy, and having shifted ten million units in the first weekend alone, the launch in China later on this month is only going to add to the impressive start that the handsets have made. But there have been some issues, notably "Bendgate", which spawned from some much-publicized complaints that the larger of the two new devices was unduly susceptible to bending when placed in a user's pocket. Apple has since dispelled the rumor, suggesting that it had received only 9 Bendgate-related quibbles from customers the last we heard, and one particular owner has sought to pay heed to Bendgate once and for all in a rather entertaining video.

PopKey GIF Keyboard Finally Rolls Out For iOS 8, Get It From Here

Ben Reid·October 2, 2014

Apple's introduction of third-party keyboards with iOS 8 has been a real win for productivity and general functionality. Users can now call upon the powers of Fleksy, SwiftKey and Swype when typing emails, messages and creating documents, and in turn, get the job done considerably more quickly. The opening up of the keyboard aspect has also brought a new wave of fun typing experiences, with the likes of the Riffsy GIF Keyboard bringing those much-loved memes to iOS, but before Riffsy even hit the App Store last week, PopKey sold the idea to us with its equally entertaining effort. At the time, it wasn't ready for end user consumption, but now, PopKey is ready for prime time, and below, you'll find both details and download link.

Google's Nexus 6, or "Nexus X" as it's rumored to be called, will likely roll out later on this month alongside the greatly-revamped Android L, and after numerous leaks of the device in typically grainy photos, we have a clear shot of the handset being used out in public.
