Extra RAM and a better color gamut help make up for year-old guts. There’s nothing new from Apple on the iPad mini 4. It is a last year device at this year’s prices. They did the exact same thing with the iPhone 5C. It’s still better than the shameful iPad mini 3, but either way, …

Samsung is planning to launch a program for leasing its Galaxy phone hardware in the U.S. market, similar to the one Apple announced in early September. It was not difficult to see others were going to follow the new smartphone leasing trend. I see it coming for other makers as well. That will have a …
I felt dissapointed after watching Jobs (2013) and more recently Steve Jobs : The Man in the Machine (2015). Steve Jobs (2015) seems really promising. The just released second trailer is a little more revealing that I’d want to, but whatever. Jobs’ daughter, Lisa, seems to have a prominent role, which as far as I know …

On July 29th, Microsoft launched the final version of Windows 10 for desktop PCs and laptops, but that was only the first part of their ‘One Windows’ launch strategy. Now comes the hardware. The event Microsoft has confirmed for October 6th is going to be a big one: the first high-end Lumia 950 / 950 …
A popular request for Apple users has come to life. According to Xcode, the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have 2GB of RAM, while the iPad Pro has 4 GB. I wonder what’s the reason behind the growth in RAM memory. Cost is probably not an issue (maybe the 1GB chips were obsolete?), but …
The newest iPhones are built to run on practically any network worldwide, and Apple is financing purchases. This means we’ll soon have the freedom to move between networks as we please. Apple was the first to include its Apple SIM on their iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3, and now it has done the …
This kind of article is pretty useless. Specs are only a (small) part of the package nowadays. Hardware has become a commodity. It’s the result of the combination of hardware and software that makes the difference. Oh, and design. I almost forgot. Source: The iPhone 6s Plus vs. the competition: Big is beautiful
No big surprises in the Apple event this morning, with little to tell about the products besides what was told following the rumors. Few updates on the Apple Watch: the discourse was 50% about apps and 50% about straps. The money is currently on the latter (that’s pretty clear from that time devoted to design …
