Apple Watch To Go On Sale In February [Report]

Paul Morris·October 3, 2014

Apple's initial foray into the world of wearable technology has been speculated, analyzed and discussed consistently over the last 18 months, but only made official when Tim Cook introduced us to the Apple Watch on September 9th. After showing off the beautiful aesthetics of the various models, brushing over the important technical specifications, and showing the obligatory Apple marketing video pertaining to the watch, Cook would only say that the wrist wear would be launched sometime during "early 2015". So, no shiny new Apple Watch in time for the festive season, but if reports emerging from China are to be believed then we could be looking at a worldwide February 2015 launch for the wearable.

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.

Ben Reid·October 3, 2014

Last year with iOS 7, Apple took an even more minimalist approach than usual to its mobile OS, removing all sign of skeuomorphism and instead opting for clean lines and flat shapes.

If you’re also a fan of simplicity, you’ll be pleased to learn of a little-known feature bundled into iOS 8 that allows you to enjoy a blank home screen, giving it a desktop OS like look, and below, we’ve compiled a simple step-by-step guide on how you can achieve it.

Watch: Samsung Releases Official Galaxy Note 4 Bend Test Video

Ben Reid·October 3, 2014

Samsung versus Apple is one of the most fiercely contested battles in the mobile industry, but while these two titans of tech regularly astonish us with their products, they're both often inclined to take matters down to an infantile, school yard level. When Apple first launched the iPhone 6 early last month, the Korean outfit was one of a host of companies to baulk at its rival's decision to implement features that it, along with others, had been peddling for years, and with the recent Bendgate scandal - such as it is - Sammy has once again attempted to laud over its arch nemesis.

How To Add Facebook, Twitter Share Widget In iOS 8 Notification Center

Ben Reid·October 3, 2014

iOS 5 and iOS 6 introduced some social integration features which, among other things, allowed users to quickly post tweets and Facebook status updates right from the Notification Center using a simple tap. It was a convenient, effective way for users to get their 2 cents in without too much hassle, but with iOS 8, it's not longer a feature. But with Apple having given third-party developers a license to develop third-party Notification Center widgets - something only previously available via jailbreak - the NC can now be filled up with useful shortcuts and functions, and one dev has naturally seized the opportunity to re-introduced those sorely-missed functions.

New And Detailed Nexus 6 Renders Reveal Stark Similarities To 2nd-Gen Moto X [Images]

Ben Reid·October 2, 2014

From what we know of the upcoming Google Nexus 6, should that indeed be its name, it will include a large, 2K display, run on the all-new Android L, and instead of LG, will this time be manufactured by Motorola. Given that the Google subsidiary has taken the manufacturing reigns, it should come as no surprise that the leaks of the Nexus 6 have revealed a number of Motorola-inspired design quirks, and in a new set of renders, we get clear look of the overall aesthetic.

iPhone 6 And iPhone 6 Plus Exceeds 2 Million Reservations In China In Just 6 Hours

Ben Reid·October 2, 2014

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus may have launched across some 30 markets over the past couple of weeks, but the grand roll-out of Apple's latest smartphone is far from complete. The company has, over the past few years, increased retail and promotional efforts in China, with the nation's three major carriers all now supported and able to offer top-level cellular speeds, and although the October 17th retail date for Chinese iPhone 6 fans amounts to a delay of one month compared with the UK, US and several others, fans of the handset remain undeterred. Apple and its carrier partners won't be taking pre-orders for at least a week, but with reservations having begun across various outlets, some 2 million devices have already been secured in just six hours.

Apple’s Activation Lock Status Tool Lets You Check If An iPhone Is Stolen Or Not

Paul Morris·October 2, 2014

Apple has added a section to the existing iCloud.com domain that will allow users to easily check and determine whether or not an iOS device is currently protected via the Find my iPhone Activation Lock initiative, or in other words, whether the device being sold is stolen or not. The new section is a simple Web page that allows anyone with the IMEI or serial number of an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to check the Activation Lock status of that individual device in an effort to protect themselves against purchasing a piece of hardware that cannot be used without the original owner’s iCloud credentials.

Ben Reid·October 2, 2014

Earlier on this year, Apple rolled out iOS 7.1 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and among a number of changes, bug fixes and new additions, one of the flagship features was the introduction of CarPlay. Announced as iOS in the Car back at WWDC 2013, CarPlay means that users could remain connected while driving without distraction from the road, and not only does the feature promote road safety, but also offers a broad range of functionality thanks largely to the Siri voice assistant. It has long since been known that audio giant Pioneer would be among the first to retail its own fleet of aftermarket, CarPlay-ready infotainment systems, and today, five of its line-up will offer full-on support of Apple's in-car flavor of iOS via firmware update.
