iPhone 6 Bendgate Blow Out of Proportion. Imagine That...

It is giving me tired head - iPhone 6 Bendgate Blow Out of Proportion. Imagine That... #Bendgate #iPhone6

The last week in tech news, particularly Apple news, has seemingly all been around the iPhone 6 Bendgate saga.  It started with one YouTube user (I refuse to post who it was or link to the original video) and it went viral at a rate only the Interwebs can produce.  It culminated yesterday with a story on the site Consumerist of two teens bending iPhone 6’s (or attempting to at least) in an Apple…

The Problem with Pants (or iPhone 6 and form factor)

TechMom @Tcstream looks at the #iPhone6 from a different angle - The Problem with Pants (or iPhone 6 and form factor)

The iPhone 6 has hit the streets. I shared the unboxing on Friday because it just couldn’t wait. So this Tuesday, let’s chat form factor.

It’s bigger.

The iPhone 5 boasted a 4-inch screen – stretching from the original specs 3.5-inch diagonal display. The new model 6 is 4.7-inches. (The 6+ is a phablety behemoth of 5.5-inches.)

When Apple first announced the new lineup. I was unsure about which…

HealthKit Apps Begin Appearing in The App Store

HealthKit Apps Begin Appearing in The App Store #iOS8 #iPhone6

One of the big things that Apple addressed in iOS 8.0.2 last week was the bug that was impacting HealthKit.  In fact it was discovered so late that developers were literally having their HealthKit compatible apps pulled from the App Store hours before iOS 8 was released.  Whatever the issue was – I’ve not seen a full disclosure on what it was exactly – it now is fixed and HealthKit apps are…

How iOS 8.0.1 Bug Could Have Killed ApplePay

The release of iOS 8.0.1 yesterday was anything but successful for Apple.  The update, which was aimed at fixing several issues with iOS 8, cause mobile service issues and disabled TouchID on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices.  It was another ugly step in what has not been Apple’s finest hour when it comes to releases.  Starting with the live stream of the iPhone 6 launch event and leading up to…

iOS 8 Performance On Older iPhones and iPads

How is iOS 8 Performance On Your Older iPhones and iPads? Let us know! - #iOS8

First the good news:  iOS 8 can be installed on a whole range of iPhones and iPads, making sure you can use some of your older devices with the latest version from Apple (albeit with a few less features)

Now the bad news:  Well, there actually may not be any.

In previous upgrade cycles of iOS, the latest version always seem to bog down older devices.  In fact most owners of iPhones or iPads have…

Is Your iPhone Battery Life Better or Worse with iOS 8?

Is Your Battery Life Better or Worse with iOS 8? Let us know! - #iOS8 #iPhone

One of the never ending challenges it seems with iOS upgrades is battery life.  Almost every time there is an upgrade there is a percentage of users that are impacted by worse battery life on their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch than with the previous version.  iOS 8 is no exception I’m sure… but I’m not hearing it as much.

I’ve upgraded all three of my primary iOS devices – iPhone 5s, iPad Air and…

We have a winner! 10 Million iPhone 6 Sold in The First Weekend #iPhone6 #iPhone6Plus

If there was any doubt in anyone’s mind about the demand for a larger display iPhone, this weekend should have removed all doubt.  Apple announced yesterday that in the first weekend of sales the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus had sold a stunning 10 million units globally.  This obliterated the 4 million iPhone 5s’ sold last year in the first weekend, a number that was impressive at the time but was…
