Concept vid makes the case for a 1080p 5.7-inch iPhone

Christian Zibreg ∙ June 21, 2013

While Tim Cook patiently keeps on insisting that Apple isn't interested in making an iPhablet, that's not stopping analysts, media, watchers, bloggers - and even Apple's supply chain partners - from speculating. The latest example: just last week, Reuters ran a report claiming Apple is considering launching 4.7-inch and 5.7-inch iPhone models in six different colors next year.

The 5.7-inch form factor didn't come out of blue: presumably, it's the right size for a 1080p Apple phablet. Figuring as much, UK's T3 magazine has put together an interesting concept video making a good case for a 1080p iPhone...

As the iPhone 5 nears the end of its 12-month life cycle, rumors regarding Apple's next-generation handset are beginning to pick up. It's believed that the phone, which is expected to be called the iPhone 5S, is already in production.

Cody Lee ∙ June 20, 2013

I received a Logitech Harmony remote for Christmas last year, and it's been by far my most frequently used gift. It's completely replaced 5 of my living room remotes, it's easy to run, and it took me less than 15 minutes to set it up using my computer.

This being said, you can imagine how excited I was when Logitech announced last night that it would be bringing its Harmony line to iOS (and Android) via the Ultimate Hub. The accessory, it says, will turn your smartphone into an all-in-one remote...
