4.7-inch iPhone 6 To Feature Larger 2,100mAh Battery

Ben Reid·August 6, 2014

Like most of the changes that have been made to the iPhone through the generations, the improvement in the battery capacity of Apple's smartphone has been meager at best. Sure, tweaks to the processor and other optimizations have allowed the battery retention to improve, but given that the next-gen handset looks set to include a larger display, NFC and other improvements, there's no doubt that the battery's capacity must also increase to cope with the workload. We've heard reports that the 4.7-inch model will include a battery of around the 1,900mAh mark, with that number changing dependent on the source, but with around one month to go until the purported announcement, it would appear that the figure may be as high as 2,100mAh.

Microsoft Releases 11 Brand New Themes For Windows 8 And 8.1, Download Them All Here

Ben Reid·August 6, 2014

Microsoft's Windows 8.1 release has been held in much higher regard than the preceding Windows 8, largely due to the fact that it plays more nicely with those rocking a more traditional keyboard-and-mouse rig. Despite the reservations that some users have in relation to functionality and ease-of-use, though, the user interface has seldom offended, and today, the software giant has added 11 new themes to its flagship OS.

This HUD Puts Smartphone Notifications On Your Car’s Windshield [Video]

Ben Reid·August 6, 2014

One of the reasons why Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and several other infotainment-based services are currently emerging is due to the issue of road safety. Sure, our smartphones offer a wealth of information at our fingertips, but when we're driving, we can no longer use them. Of course, some folks like to flout the law and put the lives of themselves and others at risk, but for the most part, the tech industry is looking for a middle-ground whereby folks and digitally engage without compromising safety. An interesting new dashboard-ready gadget attempts to achieve exactly this, beaming notifications and other useful info to drivers who can still maintain focus on the road.

Evasi0n and Pangu Jailbreaks Nominated For 2014 Pwnie Award, Which One Should Win? [POLL]

Ben Reid·August 5, 2014

To get one untethered jailbreak per major iOS release is a blessing in itself, but even though the job of the jailbreaking scene gets more difficult with each year that passes by, the fact that Evad3rs and Pangu both dropped untethered jailbreaks for iOS 7 was nothing short of heroic. Evad3rs' Evasi0n tool took care of iOS 7.0.x, and when this was eventually plugged, the self-titled tool from the Pangu team took care of iOS 7.1.x. Now, both are up for a Pwnie award in the ‘Best Privilege Escalation Bug’ category, a gathering that highlights the work of those in the field of security research, and although we've no personal affinity to one over the other, we'd certainly love to see a jailbreak team yield such acclaim.

A White Xbox One Is On Its Way This Fall As Part Of Sunset Overdrive Bundle

Ben Reid·August 5, 2014

The Xbox 360 may have arrived in white, well, off-white originally, with Microsoft adding a darker model at a later date, but this time around, the console sports a shiny, jet-black finish. Obviously, some prospective Xbox One owners were hoping for an alternative to the rather understated aesthetic of the software maker's latest entertainment machine, and this fall, the white color option will arrive as a part of the Sunset Overdrive bundle in October.
