We love our iPhone 5s. At times a little too much. And overuse leads to a smartphone paperweight, if no one around the office is savvy enough to remember their cable or wall charger. Even worse if we are on the road.

Change is everywhere, and the latest version of iOS is no exception. IOS 7 brings extensive visual changes to a mobile OS that has been largely unchanged since its launch in 2007 alongside the original iPhone, and for a lot of people, it's something almost entirely new. Not necessarily different, but ...

Apple quietly updated the iMac lineup overnight via press release. The new iMacs now feature fourth-generation quad-core Haswell processors from Intel, 802.11ac wireless networking, and even faster graphics and flash storage. Prices are, give or take, about a $100 more expensive than previous generation ...

Apple announced this morning that it sold over nine million iPhones over the weekend, setting a new record for the opening weekend of iPhone sales. MacStories has a graph that compares the nine million number to previous iPhone launches, and their graph tells the entire story: last year's ...

Like John Gruber, I have no idea how anyone is getting any work done today, between the public release of iOS 7 and umpteen different app updates. Yes, iOS 7 has been released to the public (it hit around 3am last night), and you'll notice change pretty much everywhere in Apple's latest ...

Burberry has released a 15-minute fashion show shot entirely on an iPhone 5s. 14 of the devices-with-an-impossibly-complex-plural were used in the shoot, and even though the shooting conditions were highly controlled, the footage turned out pretty great. Not just "pretty great" in smartphone ...
