Last November, Amazon’s first ever tablet — the Kindle Fire — made its debut in the United States and was well received as the best budget Android slate priced under $200. Just five months on and the company is reportedly preparing a second-generation device with a larger, 8.9-inch display that will launch in time for

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to snap up a cheap iPad directly from Apple, then wait no more. The Cupertino company has now slashed between $20 and $50 off its first- and second-generation refurbished iPads, with prices starting at just $349 for an original Wi-Fi iPad with 32GB of storage. If you want a

Apple is reportedly circulating and testing a faster iPhone with 1GB of RAM at its headquarters in Cupertino, California. We’re not surprised by this news, since we expect the company to be prepping the iPhone 5 for release later this year. In any case, 9to5Mac has learned that Apple has already seeded a prototype of the

Additional information has been revealed about Micro Systemation’s XRY application, and it turns out the tool isn’t as effective as previously thought. In fact, XRY is reportedly useless against newer iOS devices such as the iPhone 4S, the iPad 2 and the new iPad. According to Will Strafach, who is better known by his @chronic

Apple’s third-generation Apple TV is almost identical to its predecessor — both inside and out — but it’s now capable of playing full, high-definition video in 1080p. So what does it have that the second-generation set-top box doesn’t? Well, according to a teardown performed by one XBMC.org forum member, the new Apple TV has double

Apple is reportedly in “crunch mode” as it selects a lineup of third-party applications that will be showcased during its iPad 3 unveiling. Sources “familiar with the matter” have told The Next Web that the Cupertino company is in the process of sourcing apps that will be used for on-stage demonstrations, and in its advertising for

A source claiming to be in possession of a prototype iPad 3 has provided BGR with some revealing debug photos, potentially confirming the existence of the fabled A6 processor. Unfortunately, no photos of the actual device were provided. Still, there’s plenty to surmise from the information. Looking closely at the photos, model numbers of J1

The intrepid “dream team” collective of the top iOS hackers revealed the untethered iPhone 4S (and iPad 2) jailbreak is just around the corner. The iPhone 4 and original iPad (A4 devices) received the jailbreak treatment in December, with continued efforts to crack the defenses of A5 devices ongoing. While there’s no exact date for

While Apple’s latest iPhone may come packing that dual-core A5 processor, a new 8-megapixel camera, and a delightful digital assistant called Siri, for those who cannot live without their jailbreak it’s not worth purchasing. But that could be about to change, with one iOS hacker hinting at an untethered jailbreak for Apple’s A5 devices — that’s the

Following yesterday’s report that claims Apple is working to bring Siri to the iPhone 4, hackers have ported the company’s new digital assistant to a device that’s even longer in the tooth, the iPhone 3GS. Hackers have already gotten the feature, which is currently exclusive to the new iPhone 4S, working on the iPhone 4

The folks over at iFixit, as is their ritual with new devices, have torn open the iPhone 4S to reveal what components come inside Apple’s latest. What goodies did they find? Well, “largely familiar waters,” at least for the most part. One of the biggest questions consumers had once the iPhone 4S was announced was

Is Apple working on a new more powerful Apple TV? 9to5Mac has discovered a reference to Apple TV 3,1 within the iOS 5 file system. Apple TV is currently in version 2,1. The jump from version 2 to 3 indicates there might be major changes to the device coming rather than just a small upgrade.

I’ve been using an iOS device since the first iPhone launched in 2007, but after 15 months, I began to grow bored of the iPhone 4. Why? The temptation to own the best Android device on the market right now, the Samsung Galaxy S II, was strong. That gorgeous Super AMOLED display is the perfect

Good morning, my British brethren. Looking forward to the iPhone 4S? Yeah, me too. But how much is it going to cost for those of us in the U.K.? Well, it’ll start at £499 (approx. $772) for the 16GB device, which is just £70 (approx. $108) more than the 8GB iPhone 4. If you want

While we can safely assume that Apple’s new iPhone will boast an A5 processor and an 8-megapixel camera, one thing that you should not be getting your hopes up for is 4G LTE capabilities. This is a feature that has only cropped up a number of times in recent rumors, and the consensus has largely

Who needs leaks from third-party case makers and “upstream supply chains” when Apple is quite happy to provide its own? If you have any doubt that an iPhone 4S will be announced on Tuesday, then this should just about convince you. In Apple’s recent iTunes betas, the Cupertino company has left behind a reference for

Apple finally announced the date on which it will unveil its new iPhone yesterday, but you can be sure that the rumor mill will continue to turn until all is revealed by Tim Cook himself next Tuesday. The latest speculation surrounds the new iPhone’s GPU, with the video above suggesting that a new high-definition GPU

There’s no denying that the iPad 2 is incredibly quick. I’ve been using the device since its release back in March, and I’m yet to do anything on it that is even remotely struggling for that dual-core A5 processor. It seems someone in Cupertino, however, wants it even faster. How about a quad-core CPU? In

Despite a torrent of speculation recently that has claimed Apple will announce two new iPhones this October, a research note from Wedge Partners analyst Brian Blair says otherwise. That fancy new iPhone 5 you’ve been dreaming about? That won’t be coming, according to Blair — only the iPhone 4S will. Blair agrees with a number of other analysts who

This wait for the iPhone 5 seems to be taking forever. We initially expected Apple to announce the new device at WWDC back in June, and three months on we still don’t have a fifth-generation iPhone. However, according to The New York Times, we’re “just weeks away” from a new device. And when I say

As we get closer to the highly anticipated September launch of the iPhone 5, rumors surrounding the device’s new features continue to spread like wildfire. There’s so many, in fact, that even those of us who write about them are struggling to keep up. Thankfully, this iPhone 5 rumor roundup video from NowhereElse.fr rolls them

Despite a torrent of rumors in recent months that have claimed Apple’s fifth-generation iPhone will merely be a slightly updated iPhone 4, one industry analyst disagrees. Shaw Wu of Sterne Agee wrote in a research note this week that Apple’s iPhone 5 could be a “bigger upgrade than we expected.” Recent speculation would have led

Who isn’t on the hunt for faster, better and more stable? When you’re talking about gadgets, a lot of that has to do with the processor chip. Of course it’s not the only factor — there are other considerations, such as onboard memory, resource management, etc — but a beefy processor is a good place to

With Apple’s recent announcement of the iPad 2, the Cupertino-based company has emphasized the importance of its A5 chip in differentiating the tablet from its predecessor. Created in a collaborative agreement with Samsung, the A5 chip is a proprietary dual-core processor that will likely find its way into a slew of Apple devices. What are the

With the iPad 2 having finally made its official debut, one has to wonder if there aren’t some tidbits to be learned from it of what we might see in the iPhone 5 expected to be released this summer.  Seeing as Apple views all of its iOS devices as parts of one large eco-system, each
