Apple took the wraps off its smartwatch effort at its special media event alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus earlier this week. Though the list of features which Apple showcased at the keynote itself were quite expansive, but with every passing moment, we’re learning more and more about the wearable before it eventually hits the shelves some time next year.
When Apple ships iOS 8 to the public next week, one of the features that it adds may not automatically get all the attention it deserves. Being able to use third-party keyboards can truly change the way many of us use our iPhones and iPads, but it's destined to be one of those features that never really makes its way into the mainstream.
Apple's iPhone 6 was finally announced on Tuesday, and given that the new lineup offers a new design, larger displays and a myriad of other features including NFC, it's not surprising that pre-orders are aplenty. In the case of the iPhone 6 Plus, the more sizeable of the two new models, pre-order supplies have already been exhausted in the United States, but if you're looking to avail the hottest property in tech on launch day, there's always eBay. Even though we're still one week from launch, the device is already being listed, and as you might expect, prices are sky high.
Apple took the wraps off a number of great software features at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference, and among them, Continuity seeks to allow users to work between devices with as few seams as possible. Incorporating OS X Yosemite as well as iOS 8, Continuity has promised to strengthen ties between Apple's two major platforms, and SMS Continuity, which allows SMS and MMS messages to be managed through the Messages app on iPad and Mac, is one of the most useful of them all. Unfortunately, though, this feature will not roll out until next month, meaning that while iOS 8 is just days away, SMS Continuity won't make the initial cut.
With iOS 8 now well on the way - it's set for release in just five days' time - now's a golden chance to stock up on apps and games ready for the new software. Alongside iOS 8, Apple will also be rolling out two new iPhones, and given the high pricing, here's a welcome opportunity to penny pinch on apps worth a total of $17.
So the rumors around the iPhone 6 proved to be largely true and the device was finally revealed in its full glory this past Tuesday. However, that nowhere means we can sit and rest, since new reports have started surfacing about another upcoming Apple product that has a good cause for excitement; a new, ultra-high definition (UHD) 27-inch monitor with a resolution of an astounding 5120 x 2880 pixels! The interesting part: the product might be coming as soon as the end of this year.
It was suggested that the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus would be delayed in the run-up to Apple's announcement earlier this week, with sources suggesting that manufacturing issues would push the handset back until October. As we learned at the keynote address, though, this isn't the case, but while we suspected that the larger handset would be in short supply, shipping patterns following yesterday's pre-orders have confirmed this to the the case. Anybody trying to pre-order an iPhone 6 Plus in the US is met with an availability estimate of 3-4 weeks, and so if you haven't yet taken action, you're going to have to queue if you wish to buy the iPhone 6 Plus before October.
It's a tad early in the life cycle of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for the yearning for new color configurations to begin. But with Microsoft having already confirmed that a white edition of its newest console courtesy of the Sunset Overdrive bundle, it's likely that we'll begin to see all manner of different variants as both Sony and Microsoft look to broaden appeal. If you happen to live in Dubai, however, you can already pick up both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in shiny gold, and given that real rose gold is used in the modification process as opposed to gold plating, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that it costs a bomb.
The iPhone 6 has been officially announced. The veil has been eventually lifted on the Apple Watch. Pre-orders for the jumbo-sized iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are now live in ten countries across the world - and selling out fast. It's been a busy week for Apple on all things relating to the iPhone and iOS, and it looks like the MacBook and OS X segments are about to get busy too. Remember those rumors pertaining to an ultra-slim 12-inch MacBook that surfaced earlier on this year? Well, they're back, but this time suggesting that the revolutionary MacBook could make an official appearance in mid-2015.
Samsung may have taken the earliest possible opportunity to mock Apple's latest iPhone - and let's be honest here, we wouldn't expect anything less from the maker of the Galaxy Series of devices - but it seems that the unveiling of the iPhone 6 may be adversely affecting the Korean company in a way they'd never care to admit. In the aftermath of Tuesday's media event at the Flint Center, buyback service Gazelle are reporting that requests for Samsung hardware trade-ins were up over 200% as consumers look to free up some financial capacity to purchase the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus when it hits the shelves.
