Since iOS 8 first emerged last week, developers have been given a license to release their third-party keyboards for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. Although the stock offering has improved significantly, it's still not as flexible and customizable as some of those found over at the App Store, and as such, millions of downloads have already been made by those seeking replacements. But while we'd highly recommend the likes of SwiftKey and Fleksy for a pure typing experience, some devs have instead sought to add an element of fun to proceedings, and a new GIF-based keyboard does precisely that.
Apple regularly bolsters the point-and-shoot credentials of its newest handsets, but with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, there appears to have been a special emphasis on improving the rear-facing camera in both a photo-taking and video-capturing capacity. From Focus Pixels to optical image stabilization, both devices appear to squeeze every drop of performance out of their 8-megapixel sensor, and if you're a bit of a videographer, you'll surely be enthused by the new option to shoot 1080p footage at 60fps. If you've heard about the feature but not sure how to get started with it, we've got a little guide right after the break.
It has long since been known that a new, up-scaled and improved version of Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 5 would be rolled out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in due course, and earlier this month, we got official confirmation of the release dates. The console edition will be headed our way on November 18th, with the Windows edition set to début on January 27th, but while PC users might still have a bit of a wait on their hands, we're now getting more information on just how much better this new version will be.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 4, which was announced prior to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus earlier on this month, has still yet to make general release, but with ten million units of Apple's new duo of devices sold over the first weekend alone, Sammy is now pulling out all the stops to ensure that its just-showcased handset reaches the end user as soon as possible.
New iOS feature! Here's how you can use your iPad or iPod touch to make and receive cellular voice calls via iPhone running iOS 8.
After the successful launch of the iPhone 6 and the jumbo-sized iPhone 6 Plus Apple could potentially be planning to bring additional product updates to the market during the month of October.
While we mere mortals were lining up outside Apple Stores around the world, a select group of people were waiting for their own, rather special iPhone 6 handsets to find their way to them. They also cost quite a bit more than those we were looking to pick up.
The iPhone 6 launch weekend went down with a real bang, but even though the number of early adopters is already well into the millions, there are still plenty of consumers waiting patiently for the second round of stock. As expected, the spike in demand for the latest models as proved too much for Apple to handle, and while many are currently acquainting themselves with the larger display and radical redesign, many others are closely monitoring certain sites for news on renewed stock. If you are one of those people, there's a pretty awesome site that lets you do exactly that, but given that it also sends you an alert when a specific model on a specific carrier has become available, it's probably the best assistant in your continued quest to track down the iPhone 6 model you require.
Whatever your opinion may be of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, there's little argument that Apple has made some significant changes (read: improvements) over the preceding models, and alongside the 2010 roll-out of the iPhone 4, the two new handsets must be considered the biggest upgrades to iPhone since the original. But as the tech community lauds the enlarged display, NFC, new design, bumped camera technology and iOS 8, among a myriad of other enhancements, one element that long-time users really wanted to see improved was the battery life. The iPhone has long since been bashed for its relatively poor battery retention, but thanks to increased capacity and software enhancements, those days may well be behind us, and now, it has emerged that charging may also be quicker as well.
When Apple unleashed the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus a couple of weeks ago, the usual executive announcers waxed poetic about the new display of each. As ever, an improved display wouldn't be complete without its own buzzword or tagline, and 'Retina HD' was deemed suitable to the company's marketing campaign. But with the release having just occurred across nine nations, a sizeable portion of the consumer market - as well as commentators, resellers, and others within the mobile industry - have had the opportunity to check the devices out for themselves. One renowned display specialist has quickly waded into the debate by declaring the iPhone 6 Plus's display as "the best performing smartphone LCD display that we have ever tested," and below, you can find out precisely why such a bold assessment was made.
