The Samsung Galaxy S5 and Apple's iPhone 5s may be of slightly different generations, but thanks to the bitter rivalry between the two companies that make them, are constantly compared with one another. The Galaxy S vs. iPhone war has been waged time and again over the past few years, and an interesting new video offers a series of reasons as to why the iPhone 5s is better than the Galaxy S5.
One of the continued criticisms of the Apple iPad is that there's no support for multiple users. Unlike the iPhone and iPod touch, which are predominantly personal devices used by one owner, iPads are often utilized by an entire family or group of friends. Thus, it would be ideal if each individual user could have their own login through which to tailor their own settings, apps, and general experience, and that's exactly what a couple of concept makers have tried to achieve with this neat iOS 8 design.
Now that we're officially less than a week away from WWDC, all the attention has rightly turned towards what Apple will announce at the event. With the Beats acquisition finally announced recently, that also means that it's one less rumor to go around, leaving WWDC to get all the attention.
Samsung has never been shy about having multiple SKUs for what is essentially the same product, but you've got to hand it to the Galaxy maker when it does something a little different with one of those SKUs. The Galaxy S5 Active is one such example.

Various reports have already suggested that this year, Apple will be releasing a myriad of new and exciting products. From the iPhone 6 to the iWatch, iPad Pro to the 4th-gen Apple TV, the blogosphere as been inundated with rumor and speculation. Indeed, Tim Cook already noted earlier on in the year that Apple had some exciting "new product categories" lined up, and now his sidekick and SVP Eddy Cue has added that the fruit company's forthcoming roadmap comprises "the best product pipeline that [he's] seen in 25 years at Apple."
With Apple having spent $3 billion to officially take Beats Electronics under its wing, the Cupertino company has wasted no time in moving its new subsidiary onwards and upwards. The Beats Music app, which offers streaming music to customers in a similar business model to Spotify et al, was immediately updated on iOS following yesterday's press release, and now, some new headphones have become available to pre-order. The $199.95 'Solo2' headphones, an upgrade on the Solo HDs, sport a more sizeable, tweaked design, and also promise to deliver improved sound quality.
It had long since been reckoned that Google would be delving into the smartwatch game this year, and this notion was confirmed with the grand unveiling of Android Wear. With several OEM partners already on board, the search giant's ecosystem for wearables looks set to thrive, and having already given us a taster of the user interface, the Big G has today showcased Android Wear notifications.
Following on from a report yesterday by a supply chain-connected analyst, who noted that Apple's iWatch would include a round watch face and begin production in a couple of months' time, another blog has noted that a further supplier has sent the device's wireless charging coils off for certification, and is currently awaiting approval.
Apple's annual WWDC event is only a matter of days away, and as developers and journalists descend on The Moscone Centre in San Francisco the anticipation of what Tim Cook and his executive will introduce is starting to grow exponentially. If this particular analyst's predictions ring true then a cheaper iMac as well as an iPhone 5s with 8GB of internal storage could make an appearance during the conference.
