A very handy tip on how you can charge your iPhone, Android or iPad's battery up to 50% faster than usual to fix a problem that we've all been sufferers of when in hurry or travelling.
Apple's brick and mortar stores are roundly believed to be partly responsible for the company's meteoric rise from an almost-derelict company to the power house that it is today, but CEO Tim Cook and his retail team are not about to sit back and squander the opportunity that Apple Stores afford the technology company. As iOS 7 launched earlier this year, Apple also kicked another of its projects into gear, with iBeacon now a focus for the business.
A significantly increasing number of us are beginning to use, trust and interact with mobile technology in a way we never imagined would be possible at the turn of the century. As that technology becomes more ingrained in our everyday existence, it seems that the knock-on effect is a willingness for different industries to stand up and invest precious resources into seeing how they can take advantage of the latest tech. One of the latest examples of that investment has recently been shown by Toyota who has sponsored an innovation competition that promotes the use of technology alongside the art of customizing motor vehicles.
It's commonplace for tech companies to mock competitors in ad campaigns, although in the mobile industry, it's usually between arch-rivals Samsung and Apple. The Cupertino company has today bore the brunt of some ribbing from a different source, though, with Amazon's new Kindle Paperwhite ad taking a not-so-subtle pop at Apple's iPad. Since, as we learned just yesterday, the Kindle Fire HDX can more than hold its own against the new iPad Air (read: display is far superior), perhaps Amazon has a little lee-way to sound off, and although this compares the Paperwhite's readability versus the iPad, it does seem as though Amazon is emerging as a real force in tablet circles.
As was the case with the iPhone releases last month, the announcement of two new iPads is likely to drum up a series of special trade-in offers throughout the retail market, and, as ever, Best Buy is leading the way. Through November 9th, the retail chain will be offering $200 credit for your old iPad, which you can then put towards a newer model, and although, as is often the case, you stand to lose quite a bit compared with selling privately, you don't then have to go through the rather tiresome rigmarole of waiting for payment, making provisions for potential dispute, packing up and sending the device.
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.
So at this point it's no secret that iOS 7 on the iPad isn't exactly as well baked as it could be. Apple started the beta process for the iPad version of iOS 7 later than it did on the iPhone and iPod touch, and many had expected it to launch later too. Instead, Apple brought iOS 7 into the public domain across all its mobile devices simultaneously, leaving those running the software on a tablet with plenty of bugs to work with.
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.
iOS 7 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is finally here. The next logical step for any user is to look forward to the apps that will be updated for Apple’s latest mobile operating system. And we have handpicked the top apps updated for iOS 7 which you should download - or update to - right now.
Is that iPad just not working out for you? Is the lack of Microsoft Office just eating you up inside, leaving you unable to continue making those spreadsheets that nobody really reads? If the answer is 'yes,' then fret not, for Microsoft now has you covered.
