Apple iPhone 5s Review

Apple-iPhone-5s-1

Apple calls the iPhone 5s, the most forward thinking iPhone yet. A departure from when Apple didn’t care to enter the spec wars, it claims to be the best smartphone in the world. Historically speaking, the “S” editions of Apple’s smartphones have changed little on the outside and have opted for substantial changes under the hood. This remains the case here as well. The iPhone 5s brings 64bit support, Touch ID fingerprint sensor and a completely overhauled operating system as well. Does all of this align to make investing in the iPhone worth it? We find out in our review. Continue reading “Apple iPhone 5s Review”

Purported iPhone 6 frame leaked

Its not been too long since the iPhone 5s was released but as the rumor mill goes, we’re already seeing the first hints towards what may be the next generation iPhone. Going by historical precedence, the next gen iPhone or the iPhone 6 as it might be called will be a major upgrade. Online reports suggest that Apple will finally take a leap towards a larger device keeping in mind current consumer trends.

Now, popular Chinese technology site C Technology is showing us a glimpse of what it says is a frame of the next gen iPhone. There’s not much to go on here other than an image of a frame from a pre production sample. The surprisingly slim frame lends credence to the other rumor that the next iPhone will shrink down in thickness quite substantially. It’s still very early to make any calls on the authenticity of this leak but it looks like the stars may align on a slimmer yet larger iPhone once it launches later this year.

Yahoo’s beautiful News Digest app for iOS is Summly, enhanced!

yahoo-news-digest-app-summly

Yahoo’s mission for today’s CES 2014 keynote was literally this – simplifying daily habits. One of them, according to Marissa Mayer, CEO, was daily news and the way we consume it. It’s a total information overload, with multiple news sources reporting the same news, according to Yahoo, so to fix that, they have announced a new app for the iPhone, called the Yahoo News Digest. This is basically the result of the Summly acquisition that happened during March last year, because the resulting app is striking and beautiful, very much like Summly, the very unique news summarizing app that was. Nick, Summly’s founder who got acquired by Yahoo in the process, demoed the new app, based on the same principles of news collection and short summaries that made Summly popular, but this takes that concept further.

Apple acquires Snappylabs, the maker of burst photo app Snappycam

apple-snappy-labs-acquires-snappycam-iphone

Snappylabs, a one-man company that is known for the burst photography app called Snappycam, has been acquired by Apple, as per confirmation provided to Re/code. Apple’s A7 processor already enables super fast burst photography at 10 frames per second on the iPhone 5s, but from the looks of the acquisition, Apple might want to push for more with their default camera. The Snappycam app, which was recently pulled from the app store, could take up to 30 or even 60 fps high resolution images, which is pretty outstanding for a third party app. The company, which has now been acquired might pave the way for more camera innovation for the iPhone, at least from the software front.

Apple iPad Air vs iPad 4 Photo Gallery

Apple iPad Air is the successor to the iPad 4 and improves upon the predecessor in most aspects. First and foremost thing that you will notice about the iPad Air is the way it resembles iPad Mini with thinner side bezels. Shedding the big bezels has enabled Apple to give the iPad Air a smaller size and weight. The all new iPad Air is lighter, thinner and smaller than its predecessor and at the same time has the same great Retina display, exceptional battery life and a much more powerful A7 64bit processor chip inside it. The iPad Air looks very rich and premium thanks to the Aluminum build which is still retained from the original iPad.

Tomb Raider, the highly acclaimed adventure video game franchise featuring the popular fictional character – Lara Croft as the protagonist, is now available on mobile, starting with the first and original Tomb Raider game. It is available for 0.99$ on the New Zealand iOS app store, with a universal binary for both iPhone and iPad and we hope to see it roll out to other countries real soon. The adventure game, where you play as Lara Croft, was initially seen as an adaption of the famous Indiana Jones movie franchise, but with a feminine twist. The original game features puzzles that need to be solved, creatures that need to be fought to ultimately attain a mysterious and powerful artefact. The game is controlled by virtual sticks and buttons, bringing back controls from the mid 90s, the time at which it released on the Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn and the PC.
