Back in March, when I attended CU Exposed in London, one of the companies that really got my attention was Henge Docks. It's a company fairly well known in the world of Apple accessories for creating some cool MacBook solutions, but it was the iPhone and iPad dock that got me salivating. For ages, I've been on the look out for a dock or cradle for my...
Each year, Apple refreshes and renews its iOS offers, adding new and exciting features to their iPads and iPhones.

With the arrival of the sixth developer preview of OS X Yosemite, many expected to see a simultaneous sixth beta of iOS 8, but it never materialized.

Yesterday, we heard Chinese repair firm GeekBar report that the next iPhone will feature 1GB of RAM and an NFC chip. Today, they’re out with a new report that claims the iPhone 6 will feature LTE-A, just not the way we know it. LTE-Advanced, or LTE-A for short, is a new type of 4G LTE. Some refer to it as “true” 4G since it theoretically reaches...
For many, school is about to start back up and school systems are integrating technology into classrooms more and more, specifically iOS devices.

So...

Now, one analyst, namely JP Morgan analyst Rod Hall has consulted his crystal ball in order to predict that 2014's iPhone 6 will not feature a sapphire...
In an accessories market where every manufacturer is desperately churning out all kinds of plastic covers and shells for every popular device on the market in a frantic attempt to grab that tiny bit more market share, it's refreshing to still have a company that focusses only on one. A company that cares about attention to detail, and approaches the...
If you've been on Facebook anytime in the past few weeks, you've probably noticed that your friends have been dousing themselves in cold water. In case you don't know, it's for ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or more commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. The challenge, requires nominees to douse themselves in a bucket of cold, ice water. If...

After bringing us some stellar iPhone 6 renderings last week, Martin Hajek is back with more. This time, Hajek is showing us what an iPhone 6 might look like in its packaging and on display. A pair of "iBeats" branded headphones also makes a cameo. Hajek describes the packaging as "like the iPhone 5c box, but thinner." The packaging looks pretty good....
If you've purchased a device running iOS in the past few years, you'll remember that when you first open the App Store, you're prompted with a box that asks if you want to download all of Apple's apps. The apps, which don't come pre-installed but are a fundamental part of iOS, include GarageBand, iPhoto, Podcasts and more. The apps have always been apps...

iPhone season is almost upon us, which means one thing: Leaks are going to ramp up. But what I love about iPhone leaks in late summer is that they tend to give us a better look at the device. We don't just see random parts, separate from one another. Products are in the process of being assembled, and so we begin seeing more complete sections of the...
There's one distinct area of iPhone accessories where no company has seemingly got it 100% right: Wallet Cases. It's a niche in the market that not everyone cares about, but in my case (pun not intended), it's almost an obsession. I'm constantly on the search for any means to reduce the amount of clutter I carry around with me. Or at least, a minimal...
Apple has today debuted a new promotion in the App Store titled "Amazing Productivity Apps". As you might have guessed, it features a number of apps all with limited-time pricing.

Some iPad leaks have pointed toward recessed volume buttons, and the...
Although Siri may not come to OS X Yosemite, the digital assistant could be coming to the Mac fairly soon. The US Patent and Trademark Office has published a patent by Apple that describes their implementation of Siri for the desktop environment. If this patent were applied directly to OS X, Siri would take on and replace the current voice dictation...
With the iPhone 6 coming out soon, I thought it would be fun to see which iPhone screen size you guys prefer. As many of you know, the majority of people these days are buying phones with larger screen sizes. However, there are a minority that feel the larger phones more resemble tablets and would rather carry around smaller-sized phones. As heavily...
According to the ever-reliable John Paczkowski at Re/code, Apple's next big media event is scheduled for September 9th. Given the past trend of iPhone launches, it's safe to assume this will be the event in which Apple will introduce the iPhone 6 (or whatever it ends up being called). "Apple has scheduled a big media event for Tuesday, Sept. 9 — a...
Apple has now started rolling out an iPhone 5s screen replacement service in some of its stores in the U.S. The aim here, of course, is to offer a cheaper alternative to customers with damaged screens who previously would have needed to pay to replace the phone or have sent it out to Apple's servicing and replacement center. A process which could take a...
I like to listen to music and podcasts while I exercise, but I don’t like when a headphone cable gets tangled and distracts from what I’m trying to do. For this reason, I began my quest for the perfect Bluetooth earbuds. My main requirements were good wireless range, secure fit, and passable sound quality. I quickly realized that the market isn’t...
We're pretty used to Apple's release cycles by now. With iOS devices we don't expect brand new designs every year. In most cases, we get a new look once every two years. Sometimes three. And the latest leak seemingly confirms the pattern is still in full force. Chinese social network Weibo has leaked an image of what is purported to be the next iPad...

When it comes to creating audio products, few companies approach the daring design and style of Edifier. The China-based electronics company has some awesome-looking speakers and audio systems.
