    New Phone - Thoughts?

    Hi all, Looking at the Sony Xperia Z5, HTC 10 etc currently. Making the jump from the iPhone 5S - I may get the 5SE as I'm not keen on the 6/6S design. I'm not interested in Samsung phones. I know that the Z5 has an outdated processor, but the design is laudable to me; the camera is rated...

    Improvement in battery life for 15in rMBP?

    I don't know what you're getting at, my battery life is perfectly within spec for my 2012 model, 8 hours usage and have even managed to get 13 hours out of it in the Library on a number of occasions. I suggest you check your background processes and whether you have the integrated or discrete...

    Apple A9X the new mobile SoC king

    That would still be a statistically useless test. Look at it this way, you're trying to find a correlation between battery life and SoC manufacturer with a sample size of 10 for a phone that sells tens of millions of units. ANY battery life comparisons that are made by reviewers or otherwise...

    TSMC chips can get 2.5hrs extra compared to Samsung on iPhone 6S Plus

    I was under the impression that the tests posted on MacRumors had different conditions, such as one having a SIM installed and the other without. I would certainly take these results with a grain of salt, and await further analysis from tech sites.

    Whats the future of the apple ecosystem

    Currently locked myself into the Apple ecosystem completely with the purchase of the iPhone 5S. Contract expired, didn't want to wait for the 6 as I smashed my previous phone screen in the lab. IOS8 and Yosemite's hand-off features are what really sealed the deal. It's been weird going from a...

    OS X 10.10 Yosemite

    I'd just like to reiterate this, it would take very little of your time! Had obsidian dark menu bar mod installed in Mavericks and forgot to uninstall it before upgrading, after I tried to fix it I unfortunately removed a few of the system icons..

    OS X 10.10 Yosemite

    Right I need some help please. I've been fiddling with my menu bar within Yosemite, but I've cocked it up and Accidentally didn't back up the core system files. If someone who has installed the beta could kindly go to "SSD/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu_Extras" and upload all of the files...

    [WSJ] TSMC is shipping 20nm SOCs to Apple

    Would it be possible for Apple to implement some form of hyper threading of their CPU cores in the future, maybe even for this forthcoming revision in the A8?

    (AT) Apple's new 3D rendering API "Metal"

    What are you smoking? I'd like some of it! Apples dual core Cyclone is vastly better than anything on the market right now in single threaded performance and can keep up with, whilst in some cases beat other SoCs in multithreaded scenarios.

    Guess what will be announced at WWDC 14 tomorrow

    You got me :whiste: That aside, looks like after three years I'll be jumping on the iOS bandwagon again from Android, it was either that or WP but the intergration between my Retina Pro and an iPhone looks to be a killer feature.

    Guess what will be announced at WWDC 14 tomorrow

    Wrong. They have usually made product announcements at past conferences. These include the Retina Macbook Pros and Mac Pro most recently.

    Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 refresh?

    Nothing that I've seen, will just assume a very minor CPU spec bump perhaps, maybe a slight GPU refresh as well but nothing too significant.
