Apple : iPhone 6 sapphire display escapes knife attack without a scratch |
| iPhone 6 sapphire display escapes knife attack without a scratch Posted:  The rumoured sapphire crystal display on the iPhone 6 will be virtually scratch-proof and shatter-proof judging by a video claiming to show it under attack from a sharp knife and a bunch of keys. YouTube user Marques Brownlee claims to have obtained the almost impossibly thin 4.7-inch display part, before stabbing and scratching at it with the knife and the mobile phone's most troublesome pocket pal. Much to his, and indeed our surprise, the component shows no ill effects of a clash with its metallic foes. Even when Brownlee, who said he acquired the part from notorious iPhone leakster Sonny Dickson, used all of his might and his shoes in an attempt to snap the display in two, failed miserably. Later, screen protectorsOf course, as the component wasn't part of a phone, the poster was unable to perform a drop test. However, if the part proves to be genuine, it would end the need to acquire an overpriced screen protectors - only for it to peel off after a few clashes with the jeans pocket. The iPhone 6 is expected to arrive in September or October this year in 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iterations. You can check out Brownlee's efforts in the video below. |
| New iOS 8 beta release confirms Cloud Drive will work on the web Posted:  Apple has pushed out the third iOS 8 beta version to registered developers with the latest iteration serving up the iCloud Drive platform alongside a juicy nugget of information on its functionality. The Dropbox-like service will apparently allow users to store and access any type of file from iCloud.com, according to a 9to5Mac report. That's in addition to the access offered on iOS 8, Mac OS X Yosemite (which also had a new beta version today, introducing the 'Dark Theme') and the slightly-surprising inclusion of native Windows support. The addition of web-based access will give Apple fans more flexibility and give iCloud Drive the ability to match up with rivals like Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft's One Drive facility. Not much elseOutside of the additions of iCloud Drive to iOS 8, the latest beta version doesn't give too much away. There's a new on/off slider for the forthcoming Handoff feature that lets users easily pick up work on other iOS and OS X devices, while the Find My Friends app was also updated. iOS 8 is expected to land in September alongside the launch of new iPhone 6 models. There are likely to be several more beta versions before the finished article arrives. |
