Google just released an official guide for iPhone users wanting to move to Android. The guide provides iPhone users all the steps needed to jump the iOS ship, and hop onto the Android bandwagon, with all of their important data migrated onto their new device. In the early days of the iPhone vs. Android war, it was marketing that was key to ensuring a decisive victory that hardly ever came by. These battles were important, for both Apple and Google to stay in the game. However, now we have the two taking a jab at one another's nerves.
Apple has just revealed the details of its quarterly earnings for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014, which covers the three months leading up to September 27th. Bolstered by strong early iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sales, the figures make for impressive reading, particularly for those with a stake in the company, and with both profits and revenue up on this time last year, things are shaping up very nicely ahead of exciting new products like the Apple Watch.
It is official; Bose headphones and speakers have been finally removed from the Apple Online Store and the products will not be returning. If you've been following the tech news lately, then this move is hardly surprising, as it was revealed just last week that Apple will be removing all Bose products from its inventory.
Apple is reportedly planning on making the move towards a more futuristic logo on its product lineup, with the aim to make it more 3D-like and shine at the edges, says DigiTimes. Accordingly, all 2015 products, including the next-gen. iMac will be featuring the new logo.
Jony Ive is a pivotal member of Apple's executive team, and since the departure and subsequent passing of Steve Jobs, oversees most of the major hardware and software design changes that the company makes. The Englishman, like most of Apple's execs, rarely speaks publicly aside from a recorded clip at most of the keynotes, but in a rare tidbit, discussed the iPhone, the company's impending smartwatch, and how much it irks him to see rivals copying Apple.
The iOS vs. Android debate has been the rage for quite some time now in this world of mobile technology. And on top of that, Apple vs. Samsung lawsuits are hardly surprising anymore today. However, that said, Apple has been around way longer than Google has, and so has Microsoft. The rivalry between Apple and Microsoft is one based primarily on the computer generation, starting from the earliest days of the desktop. To this age, the OS X vs. Windows debate carries on, where PC users are corporate drones, and Mac users are well, blinded by brand. To their defense, PC users are a more intelligent breed while their Mac counterparts are creative thinkers with a taste for aesthetics. What does this speak about the general users of these brands? Are these consumers really that different from one another or is this where the dissimilarities end? We find out, right after the jump!
Interbrand, one of the world's leading and most recognized brand consultancies, has just released its Best Global Brands list for 2014, and there's no prizes for guessing who sits on top of the rankings.
Apple has just sent out invitations to a special media event on October 16th, which will take place at Town Hall on the company's Cupertino campus. With the event considered a certainty and the venue long since rumored, it was just a matter of when, and with the invitations having now been distributed, we know that 10/16 will be the date for Apple's second major keynote in as many months.
Prior to the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, it was reckoned that the smaller, 4.7-inch model would greatly outsell its more sizeable counterpart. After all, the phablet market was / is still considered niche in spite of its growing popularity, and given how long iPhone fans had been content with a 4-inch-or-smaller display, the 5.5-inch canvas of the iPhone 6 Plus -- and the sheer size of the device's footprint as a result -- would surely prompt the users towards the standard iPhone 6. But following on from a report last week documenting reservation figures in China, which suggested that the 6 Plus was not just more popular than expected, but actually favored over the smaller variant, it has now emerged that Apple may be switching its production strategy to cope with the unforeseen interest.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have both brought an abundance of new features to the table. Among them, Apple has squeezed in a new M8 motion coprocessor, an upgrade on last year's M7, which adds a barometer alongside other notable tweaks. Now, a free new app lets you use the barometer to check atmospheric pressure, and although the app is pretty bare-bones at its current duration, it is the only one that currently doesn't cost any money.
