Ben Reid·September 30, 2014

Ordinarily, Apple releases a major enhancement to its mobile software in September, with a further, '.1' update arriving early on in the following year. However, iOS 8's schedule of updates will see the Cupertino pushing out the changes much more aggressively, with three major new releases set to arrive before iOS 9. Not only has iOS 8 brought so much to the table already, but there's still a great deal to come, and so along with the customary iOS 8.1 update, expect to see iOS 8.2 and a further iOS 8.3 as Apple seeks to roll out and establish the likes of Health / HomeKit, CarPlay, Apple Pay and several other potential game-changers.

Some ten days after the official roll-out of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the official Facebook Messenger app has just been updated in compliance with both new handsets. The changelog doesn't list anything else by way of changes, but given that app developers often squeeze in a couple of gratuitous bug fixes and performance enhancements without explicitly mentioning them, this is an update recommended for all using Facebook Messenger for iOS.

Name Of Next Version Of Windows Revealed On Microsoft’s Own Website

Ben Reid·September 29, 2014

Microsoft's next version of Windows has been casually referred to as "Windows 9", which makes a great deal of sense given that the current Windows 8.x was preceded by Windows 7. But while it's still a distinct possibility that the software giant will retain the numbered system, the company has also tried to ramp up hype of the impending Windows Technical Preview by keeping enthusiasts guessing as to what name the next major build will take, and with an official moniker expected to be officially revealed soon, a site set up specifically for the Tech. Preview appears to have slipped "Windows TH".

Forget iPhone 6 Bendgate, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Has A Serious Display Problem

Ben Reid·September 29, 2014

The roll out of the Galaxy Note 4 has been brought forward by Samsung in a somewhat hurried attempt to compete with the unforeseen popularity of Apple's two new iPhones, but in its haste, the Korean outfit may have released some units with a quite significant design issue. As the Tizen maker's Cupertino rival looks to recover from the Bendgate issue, it has emerged that some Note 4 users have discovered quite a large gap between the display and the outer frame - sizeable enough to fit a business card or a couple of sheets of paper - and given the asking price of the latest installment to the iconic phablet series, it's not exactly the kind of build quality that said users would've expected.

How To Get iPhone 6 / 6 Plus Reachability Feature On Any iPhone Running iOS 7

Ben Reid·September 29, 2014

iOS 8 has brought a considerable amount to the table in terms of features, many of which are specific to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. With larger displays, there's definitely something of a learning curve involved for those long-time iPhone users accustomed to much less real estate, and so to make it easier for smaller fingers and thumbs to reach all of the UI elements, Apple introduced a neat feature called Reachability. As suggested by the name, the implementation enables iOS 8 users on iPhone 6 or 6 Plus to reach the upper tiers of the interface with two light taps of the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which pushes the entire UI downwards, and although your iOS 7-running device mightn't necessitate such a feature, the jailbreak community has nonetheless obliged.

Safari In iOS 8 And Yosemite Brings Support For Animated PNGs

Ben Reid·September 29, 2014

The Web is awash with animated GIFs, and thanks to the introduction of iOS 8 and its third-party keyboard support, the authors of such apps have sought to make it easier than ever before to share these moving images. But the GIF isn't the only file type supportive of animation, and although the Animated Portable Network Graphic, or APNG, was assumed to be dying out, Safari for iOS 8 actually supports APNGs as standard. What's more, those using a beta or Developer Preview of OS X 10.10 Yosemite will also be able to indulge, and although both of Apple's new pieces of software have been inundated with new features, this is one that we certainly did not foresee.

Microsoft To Announce New Windows Name Next Week At Its Event

Ben Reid·September 28, 2014

There has been much talk about Microsoft's upcoming Windows 9 just recently, particular with regards to its features. But the actual name of the next major release is still something of a mystery, and given that 'Windows 9' is merely a reference point for an upcoming product, like the "Nintendo Revolution" or the "Xbox 720", it is expected that the software giant will seek a different direction after Windows 7 and Windows 8.
