Apple reportedly trialing a 13-inch iPad, and bigger iPhone too Posted: If your chief problem with Apple devices was that they were a little small then you may be in luck, with further suggestions that the US giant is testing considerably larger screens for its iPhone and iPad. According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is testing prototypes of a tablet with a display 'slightly less than 13-inches' and smartphone screens that are larger than the iPhone 5. Rumours that Apple is looking to upsize its devices have been plentiful this year, and the latest stories are obviously all the more likely given the source. Of course, testing does not mean definitely on their way, and Apple will be mindful that it has made the case for both iPhone and iPad's current screen sizes being optimum. Raising iBrows A 13-inch tablet would certainly raise eyebrows, with real questions over whether the weight can be kept down enough to make it a comfortable experience. A larger iPhone looks more likely, with competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One enjoying success with bigger screens, and the Asian market embracing phablets like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 . It's widely thought that this year will see a new iPad 5 with the traditional 9.7 inch retina screen and a new flagship iPhone 5S. So, let the rumours of the iPad Mega start here, as well as the likely suggestion that it could be some kind of Lenovo Yoga-like hybrid laptop/tablet.

Apple takes down developer site after hack Posted: Applehas placed its developer site under maintenance and confirmed that it had been hacked on July 18. The hacker had attempted to steal personal information, including developer "names, mailing addresses and/or email addresses" according to Apple in a note posted on the site. The Cuperitno-based tech giant said that it took the site down immediately after the breach was found on Thursday and that it has been working "around the clock" to fix it since then. Earlier this year, Apple confirmed that Mac computers on its own network had been targeted by hackers. Developer downtime While Apple said that all personal information on the developer site was encrypted, it cannot rule out that the hacker was not able to access it. "In order to prevent a security threat like this from happening again, we're completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database," it said. For developers that were to have program membership expire while the system is down, Apple said that memberships have "been extended and your app will remain on the App Store". Apple hasn't said when exactly the site will be up and running again or if it will be able to determine exactly what data was accessed. And as the breach comes while the company is readying the release of iOS 7, it could potentially push back app development for its new OS.
