They say that time passes quicker the older you get, which might explain why we're almost at the 2nd anniversary of Steve Jobs' death after the Apple co-founder, visionary and CEO passed following complications relating to his cancer. The time really has flown, and Apple shows no sign of forgetting its shining light.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 - a massive upgrade from last year’s Note 2 phablet - is barely a few weeks old as of now, but already, a different variant has surfaced, and one that might excite users quite a bit. In line with expectations and rumors, Samsung has unveiled a dual-SIM version of the Galaxy Note 3 for a select region of the world, starting with China.
When Google, sorry, Motorola announced the Moto X, the smartphone maker lauded its software enhancements almost as much as some of the people who got to play with it did. Active Notifications were perhaps top of the list of new software features that caught our attention, but the Moto X's touchless controls were probably a close second.
A YouTube video thrown up by members of German security research firm SR Labs has shown that the convenient access to a device's Airplane Mode via the new Control Center pane could offer assistance to hackers looking to exploit the system.
Well, that’s odd (and quite unprecedented). Seems like not only there is an Android 4.3.1 build in existence, but it’s polished enough that it has started rolling out to customers over the air, as well.
The iPhone 5c has been selling well, but not quite iPhone 5s-well, which is possibly why the folks at Best Buy have decided to try and give Apple's new mid-range iPhone something of a helping hand in the old sales stakes.
While it's true that the iPhone release that we recently endured is perhaps the biggest thing to happen in technology in the month of September, gamers would no doubt offer a dissenting word on the subject.
Even though the iPhone 5s remains very much mid-launch on the count of the fact that Apple is still struggling to ship the numbers to meet the rampant demand, talk has already begun of the next-gen Cupertino handset, and ETNews has cited those oh-so familiar industry sources in suggesting that the device will indeed pack a 5-inch display, which is much more in-keeping with current market trends. The report also goes on to shed some light on the heavily rumored iWatch, which, according to the report, will feature a flexible OLED display.
Although Apple's vast array of iTunes Store content is now consumed and accessed predominantly through mobile devices, the iTunes app is still an integral part of the entire infrastructure. It saw some drastic changes with version 10, which has since been fine tuned into a more functional version 11, and today, iTunes 11.1.1 has been released for both Windows and Mac. Aside from a few bug fixes, there really isn't all that much else to write home about, but it's certainly good to see Apple pushing the remedial update now, rather than merely waiting for a more noteworthy release to bundle it into.
Apple's iPhone 5s, as is so often the case with new, flagship smartphones launched by the Cupertino company, brought quite a few new and exciting features unprecedented in the mainstream smartphone market, and as well as being the first to include a 64-bit processor, the aluminum-clad handset's 'Touch ID' fingerprint sensor is also the first of its kind. Now The FIDO Alliance, a cluster of almost fifty companies pooling ideas on an eventual successor to the traditional password, reckons that Android devices could soon start to see something similar to Touch ID in as little as six months.
