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.
It's been the question on everyone's lips ever since its huge acquisition story a few months back, but the mystery around just what Apple will do with Beats Music may be about to come to an end.

Now, following a report that claims to cite multiple sources, it appears that Beats Music may be living on borrowed time.

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.

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.
Almost every major software release includes its fair share of bugs and teething issues, and if you've recently grabbed iOS 8 for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then you're not alone if you've encountered some Wi-Fi-related troubles. In fact, in looking at the Apple Support community forums, it's clear that many, many early adopters have been afflicted by this and a number of other problems, and until Apple arrives with the necessary fixes by means of a potential software update, there are a few fixes and solutions doing the rounds. Details, as ever, can be seen after the fold.

The iPhone 6 and the jumbo-sized iPhone 6 Plus have clearly captured the imagination of new and existing iOS users around the world with Apple recording more than four million pre-orders taken in the first 24-hours of availability and 10 million units sold in 3 days alone.
