Apple have accidentally dropped the ball by leaking images and details of the new iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 models ahead of the much anticipated launch at their headquarters in Cupertino today.
Screenshots of the iPad User Guide for iOS 8.1 on iTunes included photos, naming and a few details of the two new devices, much to their embarrassment. Continue reading
Hi all, following on our regular series, here’s our latest electronics and phone recycling statistics taken from the www.sellmycellphones.com site for the third quarter of the year (July – September 2014).
I have made the infographic larger in order to include some more statics, this time for the entire year, and quarter on quarter.
This section made some real interesting reading as there has been a huge boom across the industry when compared to quarter two.
I am sure that a contributing factor to the increase is undoubtedly the new handset releases from Samsung, HTC and Apple, no doubt that the release of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus played a significant part. Continue reading
iOS 8 was released yesterday with Apple boasting “This update is the biggest release since the launch of the App Store, with hundreds of new features…..”

But before I get to the iOS 8 review….. Continue reading
Now that the Apple Event furore has died down and before their release on the 19th September, I thought it would be a good time to bring you the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus official specifications and details. There is certainly a clamour for these new iPhone’s, Apple say there were 4 million pre-orders on the first pre-order date!

Apple’s launch event took place in Cupertino on Tuesday and to much fanfare there was the grand unveiling of two new iPhone’s, a new iOS8 operating system and the much, much, much rumored iWatch. Oh, and U2 made an appearance to plug their new album too – friends in high places and all that! Here’s a summary of the Apple launch event details and highlights. Continue reading
As most people in the modern world are aware, there’s an Apple event taking place today.

We all know that the iPhone 6 (well two iPhone 6 models) is expected to launch at a September 9th Apple press conference, much in keeping with previous iPhone releases.

The iPhone 6 is fast approaching if all of the chatter, hints and leaks are to be believed. In keeping with previous launches, I expect it to be unveiled in September and to come with a few new snazzy features that will undoubtedly appease the masses (yours truly included).
There are all manner of rumors on what the iPhone 6 features will be, ranging from unbreakable and scratch resistant Sapphire Glass screen (as trialled on the fingerprint sensor of the iPhone 5s), enhanced processor and eye tracking sensor technology right through to liquid metal interior components to help make the phone super thin.

Amazon finally unveiled their new smart phone at a launch event in Seattle on Wednesday and to be perfectly honest, the Amazon Fire phone specs and feature details are unlikely to revolutionise the industry. It comes with a few nice gimmicks and a reasonable price tag but nothing fantastic that is likely to persuade the current iPhone, Samsung and HTC fans to switch allegiance. Continue reading
