The “Protective Mechanism for an Electronic Device” aims to prevent or limit the damage caused when an electronic device with a processor is dropped. Reports suggest that the device would need […]
Welcome to Friday. Your phone isn’t just something you use to make phone calls. You store images, troll enemies on social networks, and evaporate time under the table during meetings with a little light Instagram editing, to name a few functions. Time wastage is an important function of your smartphone, but time wasting apps generally […]

Ever wanted to share a presentation, video, music file or high res photo from your phone to your friends, or recent acquaintances? The baked-in sharing options currently available on your standard iPhone make video sharing a tedious affair.

Did you know that your iPhone has a function that can read any text back to you? Well it does. But now, with iOS6, they’ve included a South African accent. What a nice touch! Click to have a listen and try for yourself.
A lot of cool kids are getting their iPhone 5s at the moment. I got mine (64gb) on Monday from Digicape and G-Man got his yesterday (his first iPhone since the 3). We both went for the white over the black. This is why: 1) The black iPhone 5 is highly susceptible to scuff and […]
It was six years ago that the world received something it had yet to conceive: the iPhone. That historical day saw Steve Jobs make his way onto stage at the Moscone Centre in San Francisco to deliver a product that has revolutionised the mobile phone market.
“Pretty cute, but awkwardly dressed”. That is how the average Mac female user is being described, according to a tech start-up who claims to have compiled the profile using data sourced from 1,1 million different Facebook profiles.

If you’ve managed to get your hands on an iPhone 5, or have recently upgraded to iOS 6, you may be in for a bit of a nasty surprise at the end of the month when you receive your data bill, if you haven’t already. Users of the new software are reporting a massive increase in data usage.
It was only a matter of time before Nokia jumped on the versus-Apple bandwagon now that their new flagship, the Lumia 920, is all but on the shelves. Instead of launching into a drawn-out tirade concerning specs and features they focused on small aspects that could actually make all the difference.
The iPhone 5 isn’t due for release in the Netherlands until Friday, but that didn’t stop Dutch website iPhone5.nl getting their paws on one before everyone else. Bestowed with this great honour, what better way to celebrate other than by gluing it to the sidewalk and secretly videotaping everyone who thinks they’ve just made the find of the century?
Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt today said that Google has not yet submitted a new Google Maps application to Apple.
Some Apple employees in French stores have voted to strike today, making sure they get maximum impact by timing their walkout to coincide with the French launch of the iPhone 5.
Earlier this week, we reported on the Samsung/Apple feud currently reaching new lows. It started with a series of Samsung print ads dissing the new iPhone 5. Not having it, Apple fanboys then responded with their own series of adverts – countering the arguments made in the Galaxy S3 ad. All eyes were on Samsung for their response to Apple’s response to Samsung’s response to the iPhone 5. And here it is: a new TV advert mocking fanboys waiting outside Apple stores whenever there is a new release. The tagline for the ad, referring to the Galaxy S3, reads: “The next big thing is already here.”
After the launch of the iPhone 5 last week, Samsung launched a print campaign mocking Apple’s products, employees and customers. They also used the opportunity to tout all the offerings of their own Galaxy S3 handset. Not having it, Apple fanboys immediately got to work on a response. Check it out inside.

Action star Bruce Willis maybe gearing up to take Apple to court to fight for the ownership rights of his massive digital music collection. The A-lister wants to leave his collection to his daughters after he dies, but Apple’s fine print prohibits the sharing of music bought from its online store.
Dan Chung is a photojournalist for the Guardian on assignment at the Olympics. Instead of lugging around a bag full of heavy, expensive equipment like everyone else, he’s using just his iPhone 4S and a few aftermarket attachments. The results have been amazing.
While we’ve pretty much come to expect Apple to offend at least one group of people – normally BlackBerry or Windows users – in their adverts, poking fun at the people actually BUYING your products is perhaps going a bit too far. Their latest three commercials, flighted during the Olympic coverage on Friday in America, feature an Apple Store employee (a ‘genius’) who has to help idiotic Mac users make videos and other simple tasks. Can you guess where this is going?
The iPhone design, like quite a few Apple products, is iconic, yet we hardly ever get a chance to see the development process that leads up to the product ending up on the market. Recent court documents reveal early design stages of both products.
Throughout his life, Steve Jobs imparted many inspiring words of wisdom, many of which were caught on video during his onstage appearances at Apple events and during interviews. Yesterday a host of these were made available, for free, on iTunes. Click through for the details.

While Mike Lazaridis, co-CEO of RIM, has already publicly apologized for last week’s three-day BlackBerry outage, the PR guys figured that that probably wasn’t enough. Which is why they’ve announced that they’re offering BlackBerry customers a bunch of free “premium apps,” in the hopes of winning back some love. Check the app list after the jump.
Those blessed with early access to the iPhone 4S have spent most of their time talking about Siri, the voice-activated feature that can answer questions like “What’s the time?”, and “What does prawn mean?” They’ve also found that it has a pretty decent cache of responses for people who ask their phone stupid questions.
Apple’s Siri, the fancy voice-activated feature that was supposed to make people feel less disappointed about not getting a shiny new iPhone 5, was actually pretty cool when Phil Schiller showed it off on stage. But how well does it do in real life? See the hands-on after the jump.
