It’s pretty much guaranteed that we’ll be seeing the iPhone 5S launch at some point a little later this year. However, one device that’s not been able to make its way from the rumor pit to reality yet is the long-awaited “budget iPhone”. This device is allegedly going to use less expensive parts and be made available for as little as $300 SIM-free. If…
While I disagree with many a despondent Apple fan who claim Cupertino’s favorite tech company is on its way out without its former leader, Steve Jobs, I still admire the work that he did. Who couldn’t? Jobs crafted a company in a garage that eventually went on to become the most valuable company of any kind on the planet. And, while it’s important to…
If there’s ever been a chance that one week in the year could be branded ‘International Week of iPhone leaks’, this is it. So far this week we’ve seen a couple of leaks. Firstly there was the bare logic board of the iPhone 5s, then later, the display assembly including a flex connector that appeared to fit that logic board. Now, yet another leak has…
It’s not been long since Apple first introduced any kind of deeper social network integration in to iOS. Twitter was the first in iOS 5, while the following version included Facebook. iOS 7 beta – so far – includes those two as well as Flickr and Vimeo. But Apple’s not done yet. In order to make it much more useful to a wider audience, it’s been…
You may have seen Apple’s bouncy, artsy video about innovation and product creation from this year’s WWDC keynote. It basically reiterates everything that all of the company’s heartfelt commercials do – that Apple really cares, and that it wants to make products that change peoples lives, yada yada yada. Well, today there’s a video circulating that…
Just over a week ago, Apple made a surprise announcement at WWDC when it showed a sneak preview of its work in progress, the Mac Pro. The new cylindrical power desktop is focused at power users, and Macworld UK has talked to some power users about their excitement and some skepticism about the upcoming computer. One of the biggest concerns among…
Louie Mantia is a former Apple designer who has also worked for other tech companies such as Square. He helped Scott Forstall design many of the iOS icons that were used before iOS 7′s redesign, including iBooks and Remote. Although he designed many of the icons with the skeuomorphic app designs in mind, he is not opposed to designing more flat and…
While it has been rumored since the inception of Vine earlier this year, it appears that Facebook will take the wraps off of an Instagram video service at its announcement this Thursday. Facebook began mailing out invitations to their June 20th event last week, and according to AllThingsD, the announcement is to announce Instagram video to rival…
As I’m sure you know by now, the beta of iOS 7 is currently iPhone only. There have been a few leaks and/or mockups showing what iOS 7 on an iPad could look like, but nothing too strong. However, a video posted by Russian YouTube user Rozetked seems to show an iPad running a legitimate (albeit buggy) version of iOS 7! Keep in mind that just because…
When Apple announced the new line of MacBook Air computers at WWDC, the big selling point was battery. The company claimed that they had improved the 13-inch model’s battery to 12 hours, and the first thing that came to my mind is, I’ll have to see it to believe it. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one that was skeptical about the new claims, and according to…
Vine has taken the social media world by storm. The Twitter owned video sharing service that began earlier this year has gained millions of users, and the app seems like it is the future of social networking (although I hope not). The app has remained in Apple’s top free apps list basically since it’s launch, and is in the #3 spot at the time of this…
The Facebook application just received an update today, bringing with it the ability to add icons to your status updates to indicate what you are feeling, reading, watching, etc (only in English). Other than that, other features that came include the ability to change who can see what you’ve posted, and more. Here is the full changelog from…
