Back last week, Microsoft announced that a Remote Desktop app for iOS and Android would be forthcoming, and staying true to that promise, and in line with today’s Windows 8.1 release, the said app for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android has just arrived.
It's amazing what you can find when you go digging through various sections of Apple's iOS operating system. Those who have the knowledge and patience to delve into the inner workings of the software can often encounter some extremely interesting things that Apple may or may not want the average user to immediately know about. Before iOS 7 and the iPhone 5s was officially announced it was revealed that the OS contained references to biometric frameworks; a discovery that pretty much confirmed the existence of Touch ID. Now it seems like it's the turn of a couple of Apple's own iOS app offerings to come under the spotlight after new icons were discovered for the iOS versions of GarageBand and iPhoto.
Apple's iPhone trade-in program has just hit the United Kingdom and Germany. First launched prior to the iPhone 5s / 5c's September announcement in the United States, it allows customers to gain some credit back for their current iPhone and trade said handset in for a shiny new one. Unfortunately, though, the return on any iPhone seems to be way below what most would perceive as a respectful amount, and thus, the trade-in program is probably just for those who find the business of private selling just way too intolerable.
With mobile gaming, what was once the market that the likes of Sega, Sony and Nintendo dominated is now wide open for the taking. With its huge collection of games and devices selling like the proverbial hotcakes, it's safe to say that Apple is a real mobile gaming player at this point, if you pardon the rather heavy-handed pun.
Google's Eric Schmidt is no stranger to opening his mouth and having some strange, often outlandish words come out. The man who was famously once described as Google's 'adult supervision' during some of its most successful years, Schmidt has been known to put his foot in his mouth on more than the odd occasion.
Taking an industry like that of the smartphone and turning it on its head in the space of one keynote can't be an easy task, but the folks at Apple managed it back in 2007 when the iPhone was announced. Demonstrated on-stage with typical Steve Jobs gusto, that iPhone unveiling is still the stuff of legends, and anyone lucky enough to have been there will no doubt remember it for quite some time.
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.
Everyone loves a good speed test video, and whenever a new flagship smartphone is released, YouTube is flooded with new videos showing how the latest and greatest device compares with the one that it just replaced. What we don't usually get to see though is a video showing the new hotness compared with every device that came before it.
iOS 7.0.2 download links have just gone live for iPhone 5s, 5c, 5, 4s, 4, iPad and iPod touches. As with any new release of iOS, the latest and greatest has had its fair share of teething issues, and while we've not quite seen a repeat of last year's iOS 6 Maps shit-storm, the security lapses that have manifested through the new-look lock screen have not made for particularly pleasant reading.
Both iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c are now on sale in 11 countries worldwide. The launch of the more expensive and more in demand flagship iPhone 5s is significant for a myriad of reasons, what with it being the first smartphone with a fingerprint sensor and a 64-bit processor. The new device is also the very first iPhone to ship in three colors, and with a budget iPhone 5c also on the table, many are headed to retail stores without having made up their minds about which one to pick up. Here, we'll be taking a look at what's on offer, and help you to decide which iPhone model is the best fit for you.
