Apple’s media event is slated to happen this coming Tuesday, the 9th of September, and amongst other announcement, the company is definitely going to reveal the larger, 4.7-inch iPhone 6. Another rumor that’s been really strong with respect to the expected product unveilings is the iWatch - Apple’s first wearable that’s probably going to function as a smartwatch, among other things. However, the elusive “iWatch” announcement isn’t as certain as the iPhone 6. but one pointer today indicates that Apple might be inching in that direction. According to Reuters, Apple is also extending invites to “top fashion editors and bloggers” for its 9/9 media event.
For all our dedicated readers, this post marks the culmination of our day when they get a chance to get a number of otherwise paid iPhone and iPad apps for free. Our findings on a daily basis range from utilities to tools to games and purely entertainment apps. Today, we have 6 such titles that you can download for free for a limited time.
The iPhone 6 mightn't even be official yet, but already, its major components can be purchased in China. Given that Foxconn, Apple's main manufacturing partner, is based in mainland China, this isn't particularly surprising, and having already seen a leak of a working iPhone 6 earlier today, it's clear that the leakers have beaten Apple to the draw this time around.
Although Apple dazzled us with the Retina MacBook Pro back in 2012, it has dragged its heels in bringing the rest of its product line up to scratch. The idea of a Retina iMac is one that Apple fans can only still dream about, and with the very expensive Thunderbolt display still not up to par in the resolution stakes, those looking for a super-sharp experience have been forced to look elsewhere. Dell has long since been churning out 4K monitors for ultra high-def performance, and in announcing a new 27-inch 5K display yesterday, left us wondering if Apple would ever follow suit.
We're now just three days away from the iPhone 6 announcement that we've all been counting down to, and with leaks upon leaks already having spoiled some aspects of the big unveiling, one feature that we're still largely in the dark about it mobile payments.
Apple's design team may be second to none when it comes to constantly dreaming up gorgeous computers and portables, but that doesn't mean that even Jony Ive's team can't be improved upon. That's presumably why Apple has snapped up design genius and Ive's friend Marc Newson.
Google's Project Glass has been in the works for years now, and since the initial dev roll-out back in 2013, generated quite a significant amount of interest in tech circles. First it was a closed beta available to selected creatives and developers, before eventually becoming an invitation-only enterprise. This year, the Explorer Edition relaxed the invitation system, making the gadget available in the UK and US to the masses, and now, finally, the head-mounted gadget is available at the Play Store with all of those lovely accessories to boot.
It's the weekend once more, and after a busy week, we've some welcome respite in the form of five apps gone free over at the App Store. The value of today's haul is just a few cents shy of $22, so check out the details below if you want to make some very tidy savings!
TestFlight has just made an appearance on the App Store for the very first time, and with the beta-testing app looking ready to roll ahead of the imminent launch of iOS 8, iPhone and iPad developers will soon reap the benefits of this renowned infrastructure for testing out unfinished applications.
Things have been a tad quiet on the iPhone 6 parts leaks front just lately, but today, we've an up-close look at the rear-facing camera of the 5.5-inch model, and with it, yet more indication that it will feature optical image stabilization, or OIS.
