Ben Reid·September 11, 2014

It was inevitable that after the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, some of Apple's fiercest rivals would jump on the news with a few opinions of their own, and while Taiwanese outfit HTC has sought to make a mockery of the Cupertino's big launch, Samsung also couldn't resist having a little dig at its fiercest rival. Find out what they said after the break!

Apple Pay will be integral to the iOS experience moving forward, and while both of the company's new iPhone models are equipped with NFC to begin processing mobile payments very soon, Apple Watch will also be joining the party when the wearable line-up launches early on next year. We've heard much about Apple Pay already over the past 24 or so hours, and courtesy of a new hands-on video demonstration, we get to see how a typical payment at an Apple Pay-ready retailer will pan out.

Size Comparison: iPhone 6 Plus Vs Galaxy Note 4 Vs Lumia 1520 Vs LG G3

Ben Reid·September 11, 2014

Apple's announcement of the iPhone 6 Plus is not only significant in that it's a great deal larger than any smartphone the company has created before, but it also drafts the Cupertino company into the realm of the "phablet." A term derived from the combination of phone and tablet, these large handsets have taken the smartphone world by storm over the past few years, and while Samsung's Galaxy Note was the originator of this niche market, it now shares this space with several rivaling vendors. Below, you can take a look at how the iPhone 6 Plus stands up - in terms of size and specs, both - against the also-new Galaxy Note 4, Nokia's Lumia 1520 and LG's mammoth G3.

Apple Working To Improve Current One-Day Battery Life Of Watch Before Launch

Ben Reid·September 11, 2014

Apple finally took the wraps off its inaugural smartwatch efforts yesterday, and although the introduction was rather brief, new tidbits of information are emerging all the time. One detail conspicuous by its absence was that of battery life, which Apple scarcely discussed. While both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus got a detailed breakdown of battery life, there wasn't so much as a mention of the Apple Watch's retention rates, and it has now been suggested that this is because Apple wants to improve the current state of play prior to the roll-out next year.

Ben Reid·September 10, 2014

Yesterday at the Flint Center in Cupertino, Apple took the wraps off three different specifications of its long-awaited watch. The standard Apple Watch for the general market, the fitness and activity-aimed Watch Sport, and the Watch Edition, focused on bringing a premium, high-end look to the line-up. The launch of the Watch series was fairly brief due to the fact that Apple was quite pressed for time, but even though we didn't get all of the details, new info is now coming to light.

Apple Watch Is Water-Resistant Like Nike+ FuelBand, But Not Waterproof

Ben Reid·September 10, 2014

After the simultaneous launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus yesterday, we had a sneaking suspicion that Apple's eagerly-awaited wearable would be next, and after years of on-off rumors, the Apple Watch trio was finally revealed. As expected, the Apple Watch is abundant with sensors and, by all accounts, is ready to take on the elements as wearers seek to attain optimal fitness and general health. But while it is water-resistant and will be able to deal with sweat or a spot of rain, it's not waterproof, and as such, should not be taken into the bath or the shower.

Apple To Reportedly Acquire ‘Path’ Social Network, Wants To Integrate It With Messages

Ben Reid·September 10, 2014

Social network Path is a beautiful, functional and cross-platform app that is used by many, but despite its credentials and promise, has been somewhat crowded out by Facebook, Twitter et al. It's hard not to check out from time to time because it's simply such a pleasure to use, but ultimately, it's quite dormant, with users generally only checking in when they remember to. An acquisition by a big-name company could soon rejuvenate Path and turn its fortunes around, and according to a report, Apple is planning on buying the app and integrating it with its own Messages infrastructure.

Today, the tech headlines have been dominated by Apple's major new launches, and as expected, the whole world is talking not only about the new iPhones, but also the Apple Watch.

iPhone 6 / iPhone 6 Plus Reachability (One Handed Use) Feature Demoed On Video

Ben Reid·September 10, 2014

Apple has never been one to dive head-first into a new mobile craze, preferring to hold back, refine the process or feature, and join the party fashionably late. Samsung may be on its fourth top-end phablet already thanks to the dual-release of the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge at last week's IFA, but three years after Berlin played host to the original Galaxy Note, Apple today gave those who craved iOS over a larger canvas something to savor. In the run-up to today's events, it was suggested that Apple's device would include a 'one-handed mode' for comfortable use of a potentially unwieldy device, and with the announcement, we got a taster of "Reachability." Now, we have a video demo to gawk at.
