While Siri has managed to remain an almost permanent fixture on the majority of tech blogs - without actually being altogether that accurate - 9to5Mac appears to have spotted a a keyboard shortcut reference in the latest Mountain Lion beta, which possibly indicates that Apple's upcoming OS X release could also get some kind of Siri-esque dictation.
Apple and Samsung have been at each other's throats for a good couple of years now, and the ill-feeling stems - for the most part - from Apple's firm belief that it's Korean rival has been plagiarizing its designs and passing them off as their own.
Although we're not expecting Apple to launch its next iPhone until this Fall, there has still been plenty of speculation regarding what it will eventually look like. The consensus seems to be that the fruit company will finally deviate from the ever-present 3.5-inch display, in favor of a larger display in keeping the rest of the market.
Rumors are just that, rumors, and the iPhone 5 is currently in the middle of more than its fair share. It is par for the course for any big Apple hardware release, but the rumor mill seems to only intensify as each year goes by. The latest to be bandied around is the suggestion that the next iPhone will be the first to feature a new screen, with not just more pixels but more inches, too.
Today sees something of an oddity, for two high-powered CEOs and an army of legal help will sit down and try to thrash out an end to one of the longest, most tedious legal battles we can think of. There may be blood!
All the talk right now is of the next iPhone. There have been rumors about everything from whether the new handset will sport a 4G radio, to how large the screen will be this time around.
When an individual makes the kind of impact Steve Jobs managed to make in the consumer electronics industry, more often than not, a movie is made to offer a deeper, dramatized insight into proceedings - particularly when that individual has passed away. Such was the impact of the late, great Apple co-founder, that there are two movies being produced contemporaneously, both of which will undoubtedly claim to offer the most accurate, entertaining account of Jobs' life.
Remember when Apple first introduced the FaceTime video calling service in 2010, causing quite a big stir? Video calling on a mobile device wasn't anything new or revolutionary, after all, one of the core services when networks started pushing out UMTS connectivity was the ability to make device-to-device video calls. As usual, Apple somehow managed to make this feature seem exclusive to iOS devices and was made even more palatable to users due to the fact that it was free over a wireless connection.
Five months before Apple is expected to bring the next iPhone to market, rumors are already swirling like a tornado waiting to rip out the hearts of fanboys the world over. We've had plenty of claims and counter claims already, and that shows no sign of changing before an Apple executive puts foot to stage in order to announce just what the next iPhone will be like.
Sony's biopic of Steve Jobs' life is at production stage, and although some details have yet to be confirmed, it has been revealed that the movie will be written by Aaron Sorkin, and will benefit from the insight of Apple co-founder-turned-Lumia-fanboy Steve Wozniak, often referred to simply as "Woz". The guy who started Apple along with Jobs in a garage some 35 years ago, he would seem as apt a figure as any to offer guidance to Sorkin, who himself does his suitability stripes no harm with the likes of The Social Network to his name.
