Apple's iWatch could lead to time behind bars...

Apple's smart-watch isn't even available for purchase yet but there have already been warnings issued regarding drivers who will have smart-watches in use. Anyone driving while using a smart-watch will be issued the same fine as using their phone their phone whilst driving. This could lead up to over a fine of £100 or $162 and 3 penalty points for being distracted by a gadget behind the wheel. Noooooooo! Of course it would be up to the officer to decide what you were doing on the gadget. Apple has also declined the telegraph's request for a comment. You decide what that means...

What's so amazing about the new iPhones?

As you've probably heard about, the iPhone6 and iPhone6 Plus has recently been unveiled. The iPhone6 being the smaller of the lot. Apple are really trying to raise the bar this year -  the phone shapes have been curved all the way around the phone this time, much like the original iPhone to the iPhone3GS, anyone remember that?. 

Whats New?

Firstly we have iOS8 coming out with the new release. This will include the use of your wallet on your phone. When you go into the close apps centre your favourites and recents on your call history will be shown and available to call from there. Apparently apps will be a lot easier to make and monitor as a developer. So if anyone reading this is an app developer, maybe you want to think of some ideas? ;) 
 Messages will be more intuitive, like having the ability to share something via video to the other person while your seeing it, (although Skype and face-time already do that) You can also now send voice messages!(like Whatsapp) If you don't like that idea then there's always the idea of actually just calling them.
There are also a lot more Whatsapp features included in messages now like group names, leaving chats when you feel like, group admins and also kicking people when you feel like it. Not physically though, then you'll lose all your friends ;(
I think apple have realised that Samsungs choice of the word choice auto-correct is actually quite good because that's what they're using now. 

Although Samsungs recent move to adding predictive auto-correct is a little bit of a pain.











Fleksy is a type of keyboard...
The Camera has been physically updated...




Phone difference

The main difference between the two new phones are the  screen size and the price that's basically it.

Release date

Pre-orders start on the 12th of October and you can find them in your store on the 19th 

Apple's "transparent" phone

First off, yes this is real(not that picture, the iPhone 6), Apple are producing a new "transparent" phone. It's been said that this will help while texting while walking or when you're on the move while on facebook or twitter or instagram!;) 

There no need to be a rocket scientist to understand how this works. The back facing camera will give a video feed as to what's in front of you and display in the background of the screen. This doesn't mean you won't be bumping into strangers while on the move:). If you have an android device I have heard that there a certain apps already that allow the same feature of the iPhone 6, so you won't be missing out :D

Even though it’s far away, there are still gentle trickles of information coming through every couple of days. It’s building up a pretty interesting picture and means there will be a good prediction of what Apple will be launching later in the year. One thing that we definitely know of is that it will have a bigger screen as the Samsung S4 mini and the S4 and S5 are alot bigger that Apple's current 5S. 

Kuo has published a product roadmap and note to investors based on reasearch into the Asian supply network, revealing the Apple iPhone 6 will be launched late in the third quarter of 2014 as a 4.7-inch model with an "all-new" design. This means bigger screens! This handset will have a 1334x750 pixel resolution at 326 pixels-per-inch (ppi), according to the report. Meanwhile, a larger 5.5-inch variant will arrive in late Q4 with a full HD 1080p resolution at 401ppi. Both devices will feature Apple's A8 processor with 1GB of RAM meaning the phone will be fast and the display tech will give better pictures coulour and faster operations (LTPS LCD). Touch ID Home keys will also be installed so they will be keeping the finger scanner on the new phone along with optical image stabilisation (OIS) for the camera hardware.

So far this can give a good prediction of what can be expected of the iPhone 6, or one of its rumoured names, the iPhone air.

LEAK: New iPad releases!

According to several leaks new iPads will be released on the October 22nd.

They are said to be smaller than an iPad mini but bigger than an iPhone.

Which Phone Should You Get?

Apple has revealed two new versions of the iPhone at an event in California, United States.

The iPhone 5S introduces a fingerprint sensor that lets you unlock the phone without entering a password. But a hacking group have managed to workout a specific sequence of lock-screen buttons to bypass the fingerprint system, so my advice is, if you have one, keep the fingerprint system but put a password as well.

The 5S has a new fingerprint sensor

The iPhone 5C is designed to be a 'cheaper' version and has a body made of colourful plastic, instead of metal and glass.

The cheaper iPhone could help Apple compete with less expensive handsets by companies like Samsung and Nokia.

Nokia's smartphones already come in a rainbow of colours

Apple hasn't been selling as many phones as other companies recently. More people are choosing Android smartphones that have similar features but cost less.

More than half of all smartphones sold so far this year were Android handsets - only about 28% were iPhones while 9% were BlackBerry smartphones.

But with a price tag of £469 the 'cheaper' iPhone 5C is still more than twice as expensive as the Google Nexus 4 - an Android smartphone with comparable features.

There is also the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini for people who think the S4 is too big but still want one.

Both these phones are more than adequate to compete with the rest of the phones in the market. The stats above they show how android has rocketed past all the other handsets in terms of sales and are more popular than ever. I will hopefully be doing a separate post about these two phones soon so stay tuned!

I hope you enjoyed this or found it useful.

iPhone 5s finger scanner

Apple’s big-thinkers have patented a new twist on fingerprint recognition technology, which could see future devices doing away with custom fingerprint readers in favour of having the phone’s display able to scan their owners’ prints.
The patent, which is based around biometric technology designed by Authentec — a company bought by Apple in 2012 — suggests the new sensor tech is small and thin enough to be sandwiched in between a smartphone’s usual layers of display components, meaning holding your thumb on the screen of your next iPhone (or your iPhone after that), may be enough to unlock it.

Archos Ultrathin Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad

The Archos Ultrathin Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad aims to do for your iOS slate what Microsoft did for its Surface tablet with its smart keyboard cover: give you a screen protector that also doubles up as a physical QWERTY keyboard and laptop-replacement. Can it rival the current favourite from Logitech? I grabbed an Apple tablet and popped it on the stand to take a look.



                 PROS
The Archos Ultrathin Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad is as handsome as the case is solidly designed: it clamps neatly down using magnets, and though it moves slightly, this has the advantage of stopping it coming away easily as could happen with a more brittle connection. (One thing to consider though - that aluminium backing is easy on the eye, but won't stay polished if you're going to chuck your iPad in a bag using this to protect it. If that's your concern, you're probably still better off with one of Apple's polyurethane smart covers).

Pairing with your iPad is easy, and there's a simple switch and LED light to make it clear when Bluetooth is on: when you're done, just drop your iPad in and begin typing away. Though it's only 5mm thin, there's just enough space to fit a micro USB port on the side to charge it up, and Archos has somehow managed to minimise the amount of flex while typing - an impressive feat everyone wishes laptop manufacturers could pull off on bulkier machines.

                   CONS
Archos says the stand for the iPad is adjustable: in practice, it's anything but. When it's not locked into the steep default setting - which is secure - people found it more than a little distracting to type with: the iPad bounced in its cradle depending on the surface, and even fell down on the hinge, shutting it, leaving me longing for a laptop. Combined with the tiny henpeck chiclet keys - and a space bar that's bizarrely angled downwards, forcing you to push into the lip of the cover - you're left with a thin-yet-durable add-on that's not quite as productive as it really ought to be.



                  CONCLUSION
While Archos never fails to impress with its willingness to make anything and everything, as it so often seems to, it falters slightly in the execution. This keyboard does not cope well with multiple angles, and the keys are small enough that typing on them isn' a great deal faster than on the touchscreen itself, unless you've had years of training with a netbook. If you really want to get some work done on the go, consider a Chromebook - or even the new MacBook Air.
