iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 5s: Should You Upgrade?

It’s strange to call the iPhone 5s “old,” when it was announced and released just about a year ago. But in tech, one year of service is the equivalent of retirement age in human years.

One of the main differences between the 5s and the new iPhone 6 lineup will be the devices’ design; out with the sharp edges, in with the rounded.

T-Mobile phones have been able to make calls…

Hands On: Affordable Kurio Phone, Kurio Xtreme Tablet for Kids

Kids’ tech devices haven’t really taken off in the U.S. While a whole bunch of companies have been building safe, filtered and protected tablets and phones for years, American parents are much more likely to give their kids Kindle Fires or iPod touches.

That doesn’t mean the kids-tech companies will stop trying. Today at the CTIA Super Mobility Week trade show I got a few minutes with the new…

BlackBerry: We're Looking at Wearables

BlackBerry: We’re Looking at Wearables

In a roundtable at CTIA’s Super Mobility Week, BlackBerry’s enterprise head John Sims said the company has been experimenting with wearables.

“I would love BBM to be running on a wearable,” he said. “We’re not releasing anything at the moment, but it’s definitely an area of research for us.”

BlackBerry’s “internal experimentation” with wearables comes from Sims’s team wanting to see how they…

5M Gmail Addresses, Passwords Leaked

Another day, another plea for you to change your password.

As IDG noted, a file was posted on a bitcoin security forum that claimed to include almost 5 million Gmail addresses and passwords.

It appears, however, that much of the data is old or most of the passwords don’t actually match with the Gmail accounts on the list. Mashablesuggested that data was likely gathered via various data…

Did Apple Book Every Cargo Flight Out of China for iPhone 6?

LAS VEGAS—Apple may have booked every cargo flight from China to the U.S. on three major freight carriers for two weeks, to deliver enough iPhone 6 units to fulfill demand when the phone launches on Sept. 19.

So far, I’ve heard this from two manufacturers and an analyst here at the CTIA Wireless Super Mobility Week trade show, most notably Oleg Katchko from small unlocked phone maker Unnecto.…

The original iPod music player debuted 13 years ago, in October 2001. It remained one of Apple’s core product categories over the years, despite declining sales and a world of listeners increasingly more reliant on streaming subscription services.

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge sports curved, fallaway 5.6-inch screen

It’s been a while since Samsung tried its hand at a rounded screen, and even longer since the device-maker took a stab at anything resembling a second display. Nevertheless, here is the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, essentially a stylus-toting Galaxy Note 4 with a curved — and independent — right edge that has its own purpose and behavior.

Curved like an infinity pool, the touchscreen bend on the…

How to keep your computer awake without touching the mouse

We’ve all been there: You’re watching a video or running a slide deck, when suddenly the screen dims. Or you step away from the PC for an extended period and come back to find it locked out or in standby mode.

Why does this happen? Because Windows hasn’t logged any mouse or keyboard activity, so its power-saving settings kick in.

Sure, you could monkey around with Windows’ power settings, forcing…

Sony doesn’t believe 2K screens are worth the battery trade-off

Despite competitors like LG and Samsung announcing smartphones with 2K (“quad HD”) displays (2,560×1,440 pixels), Sony is sticking to its guns with its flagship Xperia Z3, which has just a full HD display (1,920×1,0800 pixels).

Calum MacDougall, Sony’s director of Xperia marketing, said in an interview that the company doesn’t “believe the trade-off between having a 2K screen and battery…
