The gold model of the new iPhone 5s has been highly sought-after by a large portion of consumers, but while the rear cover and accents offer the novel champagne finish, the device itself is still largely white, and those looking for a darker color configuration are left only with the Space Gray variant. However, a Black + Gold version, made using legitimate components from a Space Gray and Gold model iPhone 5s, has now appeared on eBay, and with it being the first of its kind comprised of 100% Apple-manufactured parts, those interested will have to pony up a cool $3,600 for the privilege.
Last week, Windows 8.1 made its debut right on cue, but for those in ownership of the Surface RT - admittedly few, judging by Microsoft's own official numbers - as well as other Win RT-based devices, updating the latest version was a bit of a struggle. There was a workaround available for those who didn't want to wait for an official fix that we covered here at Redmond Pie, but now, Microsoft has begun distributing a recovery image for Windows 8.1 RT.
Apple and technology fans alike are highly anticipating the introduction of the new iPad lineup at tomorrow's Apple media event. The tagline of the official event invitation suggests that Tim Cook and his team has a lot to talk about, with the update to the official Apple website giving more than a little indication what the company's iLife and iWork range of iOS apps will feature on the agenda at some point.
Many of us are expecting Tim Cook and his band of merry men to cover a wide variety of topics at Apple's media event that is being held tomorrow. The dedicated media event follows on from where Apple left off after introducing the iPhone 5s and 5c and has been given the tagline "We still have a lot to cover". It's almost a given that the event will see the introduction of the iPad 5 as well as the iPad mini 2, but if speculation is to be believed then the 'cover' in the tagline could refer to a new keyboard accessory for the new larger iPad.
We are now just a couple of days away form Apple's media event - an event that we all expect the company to announce at least two new iPads at. With that in mind though, it's also an event that we suspect will see one or two other products shown off, even if they aren't all quite ready to ship.
As pre-orderers of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 get sweaty palms as the two machines' launch days draw ever closer, it's safe to saw that we're all very keen to get our hands on the new hotness from both Sony and Microsoft.
For some of us, rising with the sun is second nature and is often filled with energy and enthusiasm. For others, the sound of the alarm in the morning is an alert that we dread as it signifies the time to rise from our slumber. Regardless of the category that you as an individual fall into, it seems there is a very high chance that your early morning routine will involve some kind of native mobile app usage.
Over years, the iPhone has evolved into something that is more than just a smartphone; it’s a necessity and a brand symbol that defines you. However, as with all technology (even the good one), there can always be faults and loopholes, even if minor ones, and like all technology, they can usually be fixed through simple workarounds. Here’s one just like that.
The PlayStation 4 is a coveted console, we get it - it is the top of the line gaming hardware from Sony at the moment, after all - but paying $1,850 for it? It's just absurd, don't you think? I mean, who'd dish out that much dough for just a gaming console? Well, unfortunately for the gaming enthusiasts living in Brazil, this is what they have to come up with if they want to get their hands on the latest gaming gear from Sony Entertainment, where the PS4 will retail for a whopping R$ 3,999, according to the Brazil PlayStation Blog.
Apple's recent migration to iOS 7 has pretty much guaranteed that any developer who sees a future in their mobile software will be pushing out an update that brings a minimum of visual changes. We've already seen a number of Google's App Store offerings going through the update process, but today is the turn of the extremely popular Hangouts app that has been revised to version 1.3.0.
