A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus case promises to heal itself once scratched, almost returning to a like-new state in less than a minute. Sounds like something right out from your dream? Check past the break to learn more about it.
Apple has today announced that it has clocked in a record number of pre-orders for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in its first 24-hours of availability. The number of next-generation iPhone units sold as part of the initial pre-order issue has surpassed 4 million, putting the release on track to be the biggest launch in the Cupertino company's 38-year history. The decision to move to two larger-screen models appears, on the face of things, to be a stroke of genius by Apple as consumers from ten territories ensure initial stock was depleted.
One of the core strengths of Apple as a company is its ability to make what seems like an unbreakable connection with the public. A lot of that appeal can be traced back to the enigmatic Steve Jobs. A brilliant leader. A confident and charismatic public speaker. A visionary; but also a tyrant in the boardroom if you believe what people say. Apple's current head honcho, Tim Cook, has managed to lead the company into a new era, doing so with his own brand of leadership and public facing charisma. Part One of the interview hosted by Charlie Rose has now been posted to watch online where we get a small insight into what makes Apple's current CEO tick.
Windows Phone may have only just received a notification center to call its very own, but it looks like the desktop version of Windows is about to follow suit. With Windows 9 expected to be officially unveiled on September 30th, new information is popping up about what it will contain all the time, and the latest information has the next version of Microsoft's desktop operating system coming equipped with somewhere to keep all its notifications.
A couple of days back, we saw the new and improved Start Menu from Windows 9 in action thanks to a leaked video, and today, the same German source has provided us with another leak that shows the multiple desktops / virtual desktops in Windows 9, and they look pretty slick. More details and video can be found right after the break.
With all the chaos of Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus going on sale a couple of days ago still very much ringing in our ears, and now we're today hearing that some of those lucky enough to have managed to place a pre-order are now seeing their new smartphones ship ahead of the official September 19th release date.
Apple took the wraps off its smartwatch effort at its special media event alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus earlier this week. Though the list of features which Apple showcased at the keynote itself were quite expansive, but with every passing moment, we’re learning more and more about the wearable before it eventually hits the shelves some time next year.
When Apple ships iOS 8 to the public next week, one of the features that it adds may not automatically get all the attention it deserves. Being able to use third-party keyboards can truly change the way many of us use our iPhones and iPads, but it's destined to be one of those features that never really makes its way into the mainstream.
Apple's iPhone 6 was finally announced on Tuesday, and given that the new lineup offers a new design, larger displays and a myriad of other features including NFC, it's not surprising that pre-orders are aplenty. In the case of the iPhone 6 Plus, the more sizeable of the two new models, pre-order supplies have already been exhausted in the United States, but if you're looking to avail the hottest property in tech on launch day, there's always eBay. Even though we're still one week from launch, the device is already being listed, and as you might expect, prices are sky high.
Apple took the wraps off a number of great software features at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference, and among them, Continuity seeks to allow users to work between devices with as few seams as possible. Incorporating OS X Yosemite as well as iOS 8, Continuity has promised to strengthen ties between Apple's two major platforms, and SMS Continuity, which allows SMS and MMS messages to be managed through the Messages app on iPad and Mac, is one of the most useful of them all. Unfortunately, though, this feature will not roll out until next month, meaning that while iOS 8 is just days away, SMS Continuity won't make the initial cut.
