Apple TV updated with live streaming channel for upcoming iTunes Festival

Back in May, Apple announced details for its upcoming iTunes Festival. The company has been sponsoring the event, which consists of a monthlong series of free concerts from high-profile artists, for the past five years.

This year's Festival is going to be held at The Roundhouse in London, during the month of September. And as Apple prepares for the festivities, it has posted a streaming channel to Apple TV, and updated the iOS app...

iPhone 5S and 5C said to be launching in Japan on September 20

The iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C will launch in Japan on September 20, according to a report from prominent Japanese business newspaper Nikkei. That falls on a Friday, 10 days after the handsets are expected to be unveiled.

The date makes sense, based on Apple's past history. The company typically launches its new iPhones in the United States and a handful of international markets on the Friday of the following week after they're announced...

Phlo brings its multi-site search tool to iOS

If you're like me, you perform a number of searches on the web throughout the day. And not just on Google either, but Wikipedia, Twitter, YouTube, and various other sites. Wouldn't it be nice if you could search them all at once?

You can, actually, using Phlo. The app, which launched for the Mac earlier this year, allows you to search all of the above-listed sites (and many others) in a single go-round. And now you can do it on-the-go with the new iOS app...

WhatsApp update brings back the ability to send longer videos

WhatsApp users will be happy to hear that the popular messaging service has updated its iOS client this afternoon. The update brings the app to version 2.11.3 and includes new features and improvements.

Most of the improvements have to do with the recently-added voice messaging feature, particularly in regards to accessibility, but perhaps the biggest change is that you can once again send longer videos...

Popular ‘World of Goo’ game finally updated with iPhone 5 support

At the height of its popularity, World of Goo was one of the top games in the App Store. It's won multiple 'Game of the Year' awards, and has seen success across multiple platforms. But unfortunately, the iOS version has been neglected for the past year.

When Apple increased the screen size on its iPhone and iPod touch to 4 inches last fall, most devs updated their apps right away to support the new resolution. But 2D Boy, the developer of World of Goo, didn't and has ingnored the change up until—well, now...

New report details iPhone 5S Home button, suggests delay in iOS 7 for iPad

As Apple's September 10th event—where it's expected to unveil its new iPhone(s)—draws near, we're beginning to learn new details about the handset. For instance, the latest rumblings seem certain that it'll feature a new gold color option.

And today we learn a few more particulars from the often-accurate Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac. Gurman has published a sweeping report, detailing everything from what the iPhone 5S Home button is going to look like, to the status of iOS 7...

WSJ: two new iPhones due in early-September

According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple has apparently asked Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. - better known in the Western world under its Foxconn moniker - to start shipping new iPhones early next month. It's going to be a crowded September: next month is IFA 2013 so expect gadget makers to flock to Berlin, Germany to talk new products.

And earlier in the morning, Bloomberg reminded us that Sony will be releasing a new Erisccon handset in September. Plus, we know from before that Samsung is gearing up to unveil a third-generation Note phablet and a rumored Galaxy Gear smarwatch at its own media event on September 4...

AllThingsD confirms gold iPhone coming

Folks still holding out hope that the gold iPhone rumors aren't true may want to brace themselves, the speculation has just been confirmed by the Wall Street Journal-owned blog AllThingsD. And given the site's near perfect (perfect?) track record with predicting future Apple plans, and corroborating evidence, we'd say Apple is indeed going for the gold...

Survey: Apple’s iPhone grabs 3 times as many Samsung owners

A new survey of iPhone and Samsung buyers includes both confirmation of what we suspected, as well as a few surprises. Topping the list: 20 percent of new iPhone owners previously used an Android smartphone, or one out of each five iPhone owners.

The South Korean Android handset wasn't capable of doing much damage to Apple, however - just seven percent of new Samsung owners switched from the iPhone. Overall, Apple does well at retaining iPhone owners, its largest group of buyers having owned a previous version of the smartphone.

For Samsung, its strength is in attracting other Android handset owners and first-time smartphone buyers, according to the survey released Monday...

Poll: are you going to buy your iPhone 5S in gold/champagne?

Everyone is complaining about Apple's rumored iPhone 5S allegedly being offered in gold / champagne color, but something tells me it's going to be hugely popular with guys who like to show off and the types who were offended by Samsung's ads and now want to let the world know they have a new iPhone.

But what about the others? Can you stomach the very though of the gold/champagne iPhone 5S?

Undecided people are probably keeping their fingers crossed that leaked images don't look nearly as good as the real thing. Can you picture a gold iPhone variant at all in your mind? More importantly, if the iPhone 5S will be indeed offered in several color choices, will you be buying the gold/champagne model?

It looks like there’s really a golden iPhone on the way

The next iPhone is definitely going to come in gold, according to a new report from TechCrunch this evening. The news follows several weeks of reports and purported part leaks suggesting that the iPhone 5S will be offered in the new color.

It's believed that Apple is adding the third color option, in addition to black and white, to its flagship handset line in an effort to differentiate the device from its predecessors. And don't worry, it's said to be more of a 'champagne,' than a gold...

Parrot unveils new AR.Drone 2.0 Power Edition

In January of last year, Parrot took the wraps off of its AR.Drone 2.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show. And needless to say, the easy-to-fly iPhone-controlled quadricopter, with its built-in 720p camera, wowed the crowds.

Unfortunately, though, the AR.Drone 2.0 suffered from a problem similar to its predecessor—battery life. The RC vehicle could only fly for about 15 mins on a single charge. But that's about change with the new Power Edition...
