Executives constantly jump ship between some of the biggest names in tech, and today, Nokia's former photography lead Ari Partinen has joined Apple in a move that will doubtlessly help to improve the point-and-shoot credentials of the iPhone and iOS device range in general. Given the reverence of the Lumia camera range, this is a massive coup for Apple, and Partinen will officially begin his work in Cupertino from June.
iOS 7, which launched alongside both the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s, brought with it some great new features. As far as the flagship handset was concerned, the introduction of slow-mo video capture was considered among the highlights, but even though Apple clearly worked hard to improve the stock Camera utility, there's still plenty of room for improvement. quickCam, a tweak just released in Cydia, is perhaps the most enhancing feature we've seen, allowing you to preview and take snaps and videos without having leave the current app.
We've seen plenty of dummy leaks regarding the iPhone 6 of late, and today, we've finally got a side-by-side of each purported color configuration. The authenticity of this particular leak is some what questionable, and given that each variant has the same gold trim around the Home button, it's almost certainly not indicative of the finished article. Nevertheless, for a here-and-now take on how the iPhone 6 may look in Space Gray, Silver and Gold, check out these new snaps after the fold!
When our iOS devices are locked with a passcode, we, as consumers, like to think that the data behind it is secure as can be. However, in compliance with guidelines in place for use by US law enforcement officials, Apple has revealed precisely what it would potentially be able to extract from your handset if the cops ever wanted to investigate the contents.
Given that the iPhone 5s and 5c launched in early September of last year before releasing later on in the month, it has been widely presumed that the next flagship - dubbed the "iPhone 6" for obvious reasons - will follow suit. However, new information has come to light indicating that Apple's next major smartphone release could arrive slightly earlier, with a new, August release bracket having been offered.
A new study has gathered an intriguing insight into to the differential habits of iPhone and Android users. Notably, it suggests that while iPhone owners are more likely to have taken a recent flight, work a white collar job or drink wine when it comes to choosing an alcoholic beverage, blue collar Android owners are more likely to chug beer and ride the bus.
A fresh report suggests that Apple is in final talks in the process of acquiring Beats Electronics, maker of speakers, headphones and other music-related products and services, for a whopping $3.2 billion. The story is currently developing, but if true, it would represent Apple’s largest ever acquisition.
Early on last week, it was confirmed that Popcorn Time, also known as the "Free Netflix" or the "Netflix of Torrents," would be getting an Android app, and today, the day has finally arrived. The app for the open source project, which looked on the brink of death a couple of months back until it was revived by the file-sharing community, has just hit the Play Store, and we've got all of the details after the fold!
The elusive LG G3 is set to be showcased very soon, and thanks to a leaked snap of the device - which, in a turn up for the books, is actually of a fairly high resolution - we now have a fair idea of what it will look like. Moreover, following in the footsteps of the flagship releases of both Apple and Samsung, it will also boast a gold color configuration, and below, you can check it out in all its glory.
Whenever a launch of a new mobile device doesn't go exactly to plan, there's always at least one guy up in the higher ranks who winds up taking the fall. Scott Forstall was the scapegoat when Apple's iOS 6 Maps app took a public flogging for its not-even-beta-worthy state, and now, Samsung design chief Chang Dong-hoon has been replaced by his deputy thanks to shortcomings relating to the Korean outfit's Galaxy S5 design.
