Probably just like most of you, I am rarely without my iPhone and iPad. If I’m working, then add the MacBook Air to that short list. I am not addicted, no, never. It’s just that these gadgets are essential to my work-life balance, hence my sanity. Last week, however, I had to temporarily part ways […]
These iPhone Problems Are Killing Me
I don’t know if it’s just me, if I’m just being overly irritable, or there are real issues with my iPhone. I’ve never been one to complain about iPhone problems (well, complain too much, that is), but these past few days, I feel like throwing my iPhone 6 Plus at the wall. This would probably […]
iPhone 6 or 6 Plus? Stats Say Users Are Going Bigger
Users upgrading from the iPhone 5/5C/5S to the “sixes” are faced with that one important question: the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus? On the one hand, we have the iPhone 6 which is already a big step from the perfect iPhone 5 (IMHO). On the other hand, the iPhone 6 Plus is an even bigger […]

Is the iPhone 6S Coming in August?
Remember Ming Chi-Kuo? He’s the Apple analyst we told you about awhile back after he made some rather bold predictions about the iPhone 6S. He’s making headlines once again this week following a research note he wrote for KGI Securities, the investment firm that he works for. In the note, Kuo made what could be an even bolder prediction, […]
Is Apple Pay a Disappointment?
A recent report on the state of Apple Pay – the contactless payment service that Apple launched last fall – indicates that nearly half of those who tried it were “disappointed” with the experience.

The Toilet Test: The iPhone 6 Plus Versus the Galaxy Note 4
Stress tests – serious or not – are always fun. Whether it’s focused on just one phone or it’s a comparison between different units, there is something about these tests that relieve us of our stress – even if momentarily. Now, if it’s an iPhone and a Samsung phone pitted against each other, we know […]
I Finally Tried Apple Pay, and it was Terrific!
Apple Pay has been around for a few months now, and over its short lifespan it has already grown into the most-used contactless payment service available today.

Unfortunately, Apple […]
How Apple Made Me a Convert to Large Screened Phones
Okay, I’ll admit it. I was one of those tech-pundits who looked on with disdain over the past few years as more and more smartphones made the transition to ever larger screens. For years I clung to my iPhone 4S thinking it was the perfect size for a mobile device, all along dreading the day that […]
Apple Pay Must Overcome Corporate Politics and Greed in Order to Succeed
In the early days of Apple Pay’s existence, it has already becoming abundantly clear that it will need to overcome corporate politics and greed, rather than wide-scale adoption by the public, if it hopes to succeed. The new NFC-enabled, contactless payment service from Apple, has only been available for a little more than a week, and already […]
Olloclip 4-in-1 Photo Lens for the iPhone 6/6 Plus Available for Pre-order
Photography enthusiasts will be familiar with the Olloclip brand, which won the CEA Innovation Entrepreneur Award this year.

The company did so by bringing different lenses to the iPhone, lenses […]
Apple iPhone UK Ad Goes Full-on Geek With The IT Crowd
Well, it’s not exactly the IT Crowd. You won’t see Moss, Roy, and Jen, but if you’re a fan of IT Crowd (which I am), you’ll enjoy hearing the voices of Moss and Roy talking about the new iPhones in the iPhone UK ad. The iPhone UK ad is pretty much the same ad which […]
