OS X Mavericks, Apple's newly-released update to its famed desktop operating system, may not offer a mind-boggling set of new features and improvements to the naked eye, but in actual fact, the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air notebooks both look set to reap the benefits of extended battery life.
LG’s upcoming G Flex smartphone has been making rounds in the news lately a lot, with things going as far as rendered images of what the device’s curved display might look like. After all, the device is rumored to compete directly with Samsung’s Galaxy Round - another device with a curved display. However, this is a first that we’re going to see a hands-on video and high-quality actual leaked snapshots of what might be the LG G Flex, owing to Telefe getting their hands on an actual device for an in-studio hands-on video, as well as TheVerge getting high quality leaked shots courtesy of journalist Federico Ini.
Apple finally revealed the fifth-gen iPad Air at its special event yesterday, and as consumers begin to read the hands-on reviews and decide whether or not to make the purchase, the third party accessory makers are already well and truly on their game. Belkin, one of the foremost creators of cases and peripherals for Apple's wide range of products, has come through with a neat case for the iPad Air featuring a physical keyboard in a very slim line package.
The iPhone 5c and, more so, the iPhone 5s, are two of the hottest properties in tech right now, and with the former not being as "budget" as some had hoped while the latter remains in very short supply, it stands to reason that iPhone fans may instead opt for some of the alternatives out there. As well as the scores of options from rivaling mobile vendors, there are also plenty of interesting knockoffs, and Chinese outfit GooPhone has long since been making money by essentially ripping off Apple products. In light of those recent releases, GooPhone is back with the "i5c" and "i5s" to emulate the two flagship iPhones, and I think you will agree that both are extremely convincing.
The iPad Air and the new generation of iPad mini were both unveiled yesterday, and the press reaction, as always, had been ecstatic. Alongside the hardware improvements that these devices carry, there’s one more tradition that they, as before, have conformed to, which is a new wallpaper.
It ha already been a pretty huge day as far as app updates were concerned when we settled down not that long ago, thinking that it may finally be time to take a deep breath and reflect on that day's going-ons. Alas, someone at Apple clearly had better ideas though, because not long ago they flipped the switch which sees yet more of the company's first-party iOS apps updated.
Apple’s much anticipated event today came to a close a few hours back, but left the blogosphere abuzz in its wake with news and views on all the great tech that the Cupertino-based company showcased, including OS X Mavericks, the new iPads, a fresh MacBook Pro, the behemoth that they call Mac Pro, along with software improvements like iWork and iLife. There was so much more that the event had to offer, and here, we’re going to provide a quick run down in case you missed the action earlier. The event is also available to stream online again, link for which is given at the end of this post.
Apple cannot resist coming through with the confusing names, and now we find ourselves with the iPad 2, fifth-gen iPad Air, iPad mini, and the new iPad mini with Retina display. With so many options both old and new, allied to Apple's almost arbitrary naming patterns, it may be a rather confusing state of affairs, so here, we take a close look at the four Apple tablets including features, specs and prices.
Today may have, in the eyes of many, been all about the new iPad, but in actual fact, a small faction of Apple fans have been waiting a great deal longer for the Mac Pro. The revamped version has been some years in the waiting, and after being partially unveiled at this year's WWDC, Apple has finally showcased the new machine. Inherently powerful, it packs in some of the most up-to-date hardware currently available, and you can catch all of the key details right after the break!
Apple’s newest hardware is here for a lot of device lineups, including the iPad, which has seen the launch of the new iPad Air and the second gen iPad mini with Retina display. The new devices are all shiny and cool, boasting the latest in hardware and software both, but that doesn’t mean we can forget the old ones just yet. Although the iPad 2 and iPad mini are rather old now, they’re still continuing, albeit at a lower cost for the first-gen iPad mini. The iPad 2 will continue to sell for a price of $399, while the first-gen iPad mini will continue to retail at a new starting price point of $299.
