People here aren't getting why this is such a big deal! Finally, video will be a standardized feature. No special software. Interoperability between brands, networks, and nations. In a few years, everyone will have a capable phone and anyone they ca…

Oh, and I will bet that next year's product line up will include PrimeSense proximity sensors (at least the iPhone 6S will)! Each "S" version of the iPhone have included technologies bought from acquired companies for around $400 million. The iPhon…

Dual ambient light sensor? Hmm... I wonder what the second one is being used for... I doubt it's simply for back-up or to give more accurate readings! Maybe to detect directional proximity data of ambient light points to adjust screen brightness lev…

Why would they price iPad Mini 3 $100 more than the iPad Mini 2 and only offer Touch ID and dual microphones for that price? Sure, margins get a huge boost for the iPad Mini 3 by doing this, but demand is going to very low! Unless Apple plans on man…

So, basically, the only differences between the iPad Mini 2 and 3 are Touch ID and dual microphones. It is still the same form factor and weight as the iPad Mini 2. It does not have the screen improvements that are in the iPad Air 2, but it is price…

Anyone notice that your Apple TV now "rings" through the TV speakers when your iPhone rings in this latest iOS update?

Last year's iPad product refresh made the mistake of recycling the previous year's form factors and screen technology. As for the iPad Air, it is basically a stretched iPad Mini with Retina Display. This year, for the iPhone 6 models, at least, the …

Concerning RAM, I certainly hope the new iPads bump it up. There are times on Google Earth when I run out of memory. Also, going between apps many times requires re-drawing due to memory issues. Yeah, that 1GB needs to get bumped up.

No. iShoe was so yesterday! It will be iClone! Ever wanted to be at two different places at the same time? Well, now you can! And no one will tell the difference between the original you and your clone! It's sure to be a Apple's greatest hit ever! …

If you look at the first photo, you will see two cut out holes in the center top front. The article guesses that one of these is the proximity sensor and doesn't even venture a guess for the purpose of the other. I have a sneaky suspicion that these…

Also, the Flickr app got a major rework that includes access to all personal account-related features!
