A gold iPhone. It seems that's all anyone's talking about lately, but for the life of me, I can't understand why you would want to own such a device. Maybe it'll look better live and in colour, or maybe Apple will be customising devices like Motorola are doing with the Moto X. In other news, there's ...

Talk about doomed before you begin. When you’re making a film about a character as divisive as Steve Jobs and a company that inspires such devotion and disapprobation in almost equal measure as Apple, whatever you come up with will be ...

Boy Genius Report has the scoop that iOS 7 beta 6 will be released next week, with Apple planning to seed the Gold Master release to partners (read: telcos, employees) starting September 5. It follows that the full release will be sometime in September, possibly even at the September 10th event where ...

Apple has acquired Matcha.tv, a video discovery and recommendation service. Apple reportedly paid anywhere from $1 to $1.5 million for the startup, which used to provide recommendations to users before it was quietly shut down in May. The service aggregated content from a variety of ...

I know what you're thinking. You're probably asking yourself what kind of whiz-bang wizardry has Apple got in store for us this time with the next iPhone? Well, luckily for you The Verge is separating the wheat from the chaff, putting in the whole nine years, and piecing together the rumours about what ...

Further evidence has surfaced that supports the theory the next iPhone will feature a dual LED flash system, compared to the current single LED flash found in the iPhone 5. Photos show the slot in the rear upper housing with room for two LEDs, and if both LEDs are coloured differently, then it should ...

How much data are you storing? Do you really know? And how do you share that data? Is it backed up? When you start thinking about all the different information you store – movies, documents, photos, email, financial records in accounting systems – it becomes apparent that most of us are holding on to more information than we realise.

There is a range of storage products on the market for you to choose from, so how do you know what’s right for you?



Here’s a quick inventory from our own home. Our iTunes library is approaching 1TB of data – most of that comes from TV shows and movies we’ve purchased. Now that we’re in the high definition era, a movie is often in excess of 4GB and a TV homework assignments, hundreds of images used in articles we’ve written, about 300GB in the iPhoto library and many other bits and pieces.

All up, we’re holding in excess of 5TB on various storage devices by the time you throw in applications and operating systems.

Coupled with the massive amount of data that’s growing quickly, is the fragmentation of that data.

It’s stored on hard drives built into our Macs, on the iPhones, iPads and iPods in the house and on a couple of NAS devices. And let’s not start on the dozens of USB sticks we’ve accumulated over the years. We’re not even ...

Mark September 10th in your calendar, because that's the date AllThingsD has heard Apple will bring out the big guns and announce the next iPhone, cheaper iPhone, and if we're lucky, the next iPad and iPad mini. AllThingsD has a pretty good record of predicting the dates for these things, so there's ...

It's extremely unusual for anything to come out of Apple's board of directors, much less a report that expresses concern about Apple's speed of innovation. As you probably know, Apple hasn't released any new products besides the usual refreshes for a long time now, and people are seemingly ...
