Microsoft has had a lot of learning opportunity from the successes and failures of Windows 8, and that was evident from some of the quick fixes that were introduced with Window 8.1, which was a mere incremental update over the existing operating system. Still, for those who had hue and cry over the stark difference that Windows 8 presented over Windows 7, Windows 8.1 at least made the system usable for them once again. However, any major changes that were expected from the Redmond company, won’t happen until Windows 9 (or Windows Threshold, as it is called right now).
It's inevitable that once the iPhone 6 is announced on September 9th’s media event, it won't be too long before we begin getting excited about what's next with the iPhone 7. In fact, it often feels as though we're constantly sitting in wait for the Next Big Thing once the novelty of the latest and greatest has worn off, and a rather humorous new comic documenting iPhone Fever completely hits the nail on the head.
The iPhone 6 looks set to be announced by Apple next week, and it seems like every retailer and carrier is getting involved in hyping it up. O2, a major network operator in the United Kingdom, has joined in with the fanfare by posting a newspaper ad that refers to a secret, unannounced device, and although it could refer to a number of upcoming handsets, it's clear that iPhone Fever is now gripping one of the UK's foremost carriers.
Apple’s new iPhone 6 announcement is barely a week away now, and the excitement around the upcoming media event is at an all time high. The Cupertino tech giant is not only expected to unveil the new 4.7-inch iPhone 6 flagship smartphone, but also unveil the wearable lineup that might (or might not) end up being called the iWatch. Along with these, we are expecting to see the public availability of the iOS 8, the OS X Yosemite, and hopefully a few other goodies as well.
Among the myriad of smartphones set to hit the scene over the next few days, we're pretty eager to see what Motorola comes up with. The Moto X+1 - a step up form the Moto X - is hotly-anticipated after the success of the original, and now, we've an almost 5-minute video leak offering hands-on coverage of said device.
These next couple of weeks are going to be particularly busy in the mobile world. Along with Apple's now-confirmed iPhone 6 event on September 9th, there's the small matter of IFA in Berlin, where a number of the industry's foremost vendors will be taking the wraps off their newest products. But as we wait for Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 to hit the scene, Microsoft has already begun hyping a brand-new device of its own, and with the selfie craze still as popular as it's ever been, the Lumia 730 looks to offer fans a device capable of taking decent, front-facing snaps.
Although the vast majority of our iPhone 6-related reports have revealed details of the smaller, 4.7-inch variant, the 5.5-inch model - also dubbed as the iPhone 6L or iPhone Air - has also been leaked quite frequently over the past few weeks, and now, we have what appears to be a legitimate leak of the more sizeable iPhone's rear shell. As with the lion's share of iPhone 6 tidbits, there's no way of verifying the leak's authenticity, but given that it ticks all of the boxes in terms of form factor and general plausibility, it's definitely worth checking out.
If you've ever wanted to buy your favorite beverage using just your iPhone then you may be a step close to that reality after new reports appeared earlier that have Apple and major payment firms doing deals to bring mobile payments to iOS.
Big breaches of security are never fun, but when you're the provider of cloud storage that holds all kinds of personal data, things can get particularly hairy when someone finds a way through. That's the situation Apple finds itself in today, or at least, that's the claim.
