iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus - Everything you need to know

If you were holding back to buy the best phone on the market because of the screen size, now you have no excuse. The iPhone 6 is here with a 4.7-inch diagonal display, while the iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch screen. Apple describes it as "bigger than bigger" and we take it for a spin to show you the most important features. The screen looks great. Its curved edges fit nicely with the back cover and the over-all design. Apple calls it the new Retina HD display, but it is just a new marketing name for a 1334 x 750 display with a resolution of 326 PPI. The larger one is 1920 x 1080 with a resolution of 401 PPI. The design of the iPhone 6 The phone comes with a thickness of 6.9mm and because the screen is larger, Apple changed iOS...

Intel Core m, the Mobile Processor That Should Have Been Launched Two Years Ago

Barely more than a week of this month has passed, and Intel has already released some really impressive products, some of which are guaranteed to preserve its strong brand, and one that may finally allow it to beat ARM on its own turf. It is that last one that I am going to take a look at now. Or, rather, the implications of its release, since it is the sort of windfall that Intel has been seeking for years. Potential windfall, at least. You see, Intel has finally launched a processor that could actually fight the various ARM-based chips on the mobile market evenly. The first mobile chip to bear the Core-series brand, the new processor might finally have what it takes to give Intel an actual foothold in the smartphone industry. Its...

Is This the First Image of the Mythical Canon EOS M3?

You and me both know the original Canon EOS-M was a miserable failure in most markets around the world, with the exception of the Asian one. That’s probably why the producing company choose to roll out the EOS-M2 only in that area. After all, it wasn’t much of a successor, it basically added Wi-Fi on top of what the EOS-M originally offered. However, the question remains, when would Canon put the failure behind, buckle up and make a comeback with a model worthy of making it on the European and US market? Well, Canon Watch posted a mysterious photograph (via DCFever) which appears to be the first image ever depicting the mythical EOS-M3. As you can see, the camera bundles a small viewfinder, flip-out LCD, but apart from that, there’s...

iPhone 6 Leaked Benchmarks, a Huge Letdown

File this under rumors, as we don’t have any confirmation on it yet, but it looks like the first benchmark results of a presumed prototype iPhone 6 unit have just leaked online. The leak comes from the same person who leaked an iPhone 6 video, which has yet to be confirmed whether it’s legit or not. This is why we suggest our readers to take it with a big grain of salt until Apple comes forward with the official iPhone 6 announcement. The so-called iPhone 7,2, which seems to be the internal name given by Apple to its next iPhone smartphone, has been benchmarked using the Geekbench 3 application, and while the results may look decent, the hardware configuration revealed is a huge letdown. According to the image published by Gizmodo,...

NVIDIA Sues Samsung, Qualcomm over Patents Infringement, Seeks Galaxy Phone Shipments Block

Samsung is well known for being sued by a lot of companies. The South Korean handset maker is still making war with Apple over the design of its products, but there are other companies in the smartphone and tablet business that Samsung allegedly copied from. Now it’s NVIDIA’s turn to file a patent lawsuit against both Samsung and Qualcomm. Unlike other lawsuits that focused on one or several devices, NVIDIA is trying to block shipments of all Samsung smartphones and tablets that are using Qualcomm’s Adreno, ARM’s Mali or Imagination’s PowerVR graphics architectures. Basically, NVIDIA seeks to block shipments of all Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets now available on the market, or soon to be released, due to the fact that the...

Apple's iPhone 6 Launch May Be the Most Embarrassing Moment of the Year

I've been very excited to see what Apple comes up with today. I even stopped playing Destiny to watch the iPhone 6 launch, but then I had a feeling this will turn out bad. Bad for me for losing my time and bad for Apple for disappointing me and other fans trying to watch the live event. I do not own an Apple TV and I'll probably never will, but if I did, it wouldn't have helped me watch the iPhone 6 launch event. However, I do own a few Apple products, so I excitingly opened my iPad to see what Apple has prepared for us today. It took me a few refreshes to get the live keynote running, but in the end all seemed well enough. That lasted for a few seconds until I realized the whole event was streamed with the Chinese voice translation....
