With the manufacturing process for the iPhone 6 now apparently under way, we're witnessing a lot of component leaks, and in what is claimed to be a legitimate sighting of the enigmatic device's SIM tray, we have evidence that the next-gen device will arrive in Silver, Gold and Space Gray color configurations.
Apple rolled out iOS 8 beta 3 only yesterday, and although we got the usual spate of bug fixes and performance enhancements, the Cupertino giant also took the opportunity to introduce a couple of noteworthy new features. As we reported some time ago, the latest beta of Apple's upcoming firmware includes a neat feature allowing T-Mobile U.S. users to make and receive calls over Wi-Fi, and now, some tweaks to the Health app have also been spotted.
You might have forgotten about BlackBerry - formerly Research In Motion - the company that used to dominate the smartphone market with an iron fist before spectacularly declining in recent years. Even though you could be forgiven for presuming that the maker of the famed Bold handset range was busy dying a painful death behind the scenes, the Canadian company has actually been hard at work on some new devices, and among them is the very interesting, passport-shaped device called, well.. the Passport.
Apple has continued to push the boundaries in its efforts to pack high-end technology into unfathomably small housing, but while we continue to marvel at the likes of the MacBook Air and iPad mini with Retina display, we've also been impressed with how Apple continues to thin-out the iPhone. This long-standing trend is set to continue with the next-gen model, with some suggesting that the iPhone 6 will be as slender as 6mm, but even though early adopters will likely be impressed by the svelte nature of the device to hold, the slimline finish will also mean that battery capacity will only see a modest improvement.
The Apple iPhone regularly scores high when it comes to customer satisfaction, quality of camera, and in fact, most other smartphone-centric research. These traits of popularity perhaps go some way to explaining why the fruit company's flagship 5s was the most popular worldwide in the first quarter of this year, and moreover, why the antiquated iPhone 4s managed to grab fifth spot.
If you’ve been worried about your car security and not satisfied with just having an alarm locking mechanism for deterring unwanted individuals, then you’re going to love the product that we’re showcasing today. Named simply “CarLock”, it’s a car security system consisting of three parts; the CarLock OBD device that will plug into the car itself, a companion smartphone app (for Android and iOS at present), and CarLock Cloud, which we will come to later. Intrigued? Continue reading past the break to find out more.
Some iOS and OS X users have noted of a minor glitch pertaining to the use of the stock Calendar, resulting in the wrong holiday dates being shown for certain regions. Thus, folks in countries like Lithuania are seeing the holidays of nations like Mexico and Hong Kong, and although this rather confusing scenario seems to have affected multiple users running on iOS 7.1.x as well as others on Mac, Apple has reportedly noted of the issue and will come through with a fix in a forthcoming software update.
Apple's iPhone 6 is still quite a way from hitting the market, but the amount of evidence that has mounted up over the past few months is quite unprecedented for any unannounced tech product. The reason for the increased interest in the Cupertino company's next handset is primarily due to its increase in size, with Tim Cook's team expected to churn out two larger models in 2014. Today, an alleged leak of the 4.7-inch model's front panel has been spotted in a video alongside that of the iPhone 5s, and naturally, we thought it best to share this new revelation with you guys.
Nokia, which was recently acquired by Microsoft, has long built great smartphones, particularly those of the Lumia variety. But while the market has been enticed by the sleek, funky designs and top-notch rear-facing camera technology, most have been put-off by the Windows Phone OS, which is nowhere near as evolved as, say, Android.
Apart from the third beta of iOS 8, Apple has also seeded Developer Preview 3 of OS X Yosemite. Details on how and where to download it from can be found right here.
