Tim Cook Posts Reflective Email To Employees On 3rd Anniversary Of Steve Jobs’ Death

Ben Reid·October 4, 2014

It's been three years since Steve Jobs' untimely passing, and with Tim Cook having assumed the role as helmsman as the Apple co-founder's health began to deteriorate, the current CEO has led the company on into a new era. But despite the success that Apple has enjoyed over the last three years, it's bittersweet given that one of the key figures in the Mac maker's illustrious history is no longer around to see it. In an email sent out to employees, Cook reflects on Jobs as a man, talks about some of his achievements, and the legacy that, as CEO, he continues to build upon.

Size Comparison: Nexus 6 Mockup Compared To Other Flagship Smartphones [Video]

Ben Reid·October 4, 2014

The Google Nexus 6 is apparently set to hit the market in the next few weeks along with the company's Android L software, and having caught several glimpses of the device already, we know that it's going to look almost identical to the 2nd-gen Moto X but with a much larger display. To be precise, reports are suggesting a panel with a diameter of 5.92 inches - bigger than the iPhone 6 Plus and even Samsung's all-new Galaxy Note 4 - and although the fact that it eclipses any Note that Samsung has ever released gives us an idea as to its sheer monstrousness, a new clip puts things into perspective by pitting a Nexus 6 mockup / render against some of the market's other high-end handsets.

iPhone 6 Tops 4 Million Reservations In China In Just 24 Hours

Ben Reid·October 4, 2014

Given the sheer population of China along with its market's considerable interest in Apple products as a whole, it's not too much of a shock that the launch date of the iPhone 6 in China is, once again, lagging considerably behind the UK / US roll-out. In the countries where the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is already available, Apple has enjoyed impressive early sales, but if Chinese reservation figures are anything to go on, the best may still be yet to come. Pre-orders have not yet commenced, but many retailers have started taking reservations in advance of the October 17th release, and having originally reported that 2 million iPhone 6s had been reserved in just 6 hours, the sum total for the first-day of reservations stands at a whopping 4 million.

Ben Reid·October 3, 2014

It took quite a while for VideoLan to bring forth a Metro-fied version of its famed VLC media player app for Windows 8, but despite the lengthy delay, it was definitely worth the wait. Late on last year, Microsoft went ahead and pushed Windows 8.1, a reasonably tweaked and improved version of the original Windows 8, and although it has once again taken a while, VLC for Windows 8.1 is now upon us. Full details, as well the all-important download link, can be seen after the break.

iPhone 6 Plus Accounts For 60% Of Total iPhone 6 Shipments

Ben Reid·October 3, 2014

Apple's iPhone 6, which first hit the scene two weeks ago, managed to shift ten million units in its first three days alone, and at the time, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 accounted for the lion's share of sales. This may, at least in part, have been due to the fact that the iPhone 6 Plus wasn't as readily available, and whether down to the reported production delays or an underestimation of the larger model's popularity, the Plus's shipping times quickly pushed back to 3-4 weeks. Now, it looks like the admiration of Apple's phablet is beginning to show, with a new report suggesting that the 5.5-inch handset is accounting for three in every five iPhone 6 models being shipped at present.

Android L Update For Galaxy S5 Demoed In 8-Minute Video

Ben Reid·October 3, 2014

October will be a huge month for Android. As well as the introduction of Google's new Moto X-like Nexus smartphone, there's also the small matter of the rumored Android L release to contend with, and although the Nexus will surely be the first to ship with the Big G's new mobile OS out of the box, Samsung's flagship Galaxy S5 won't be too far behind. In spite of the fact that we don't know precisely when Android L will roll out, let alone when it will hit the S5, a video has already hit the Web showing the Korean company's prized asset running on the impending software.
