The iPhone 5S hasn’t been available for very long, yet we’re already hearing more and more about its successor, the iPhone 6. Rumors of the next iPhone have been swirling around even before the 5s was announced, as the number bump has a tendency to bring many more enhancements, features, and tweaks than any ‘S’ iPhone model. Well, while we’ve heard it before, another rumor surrounding the iPhone 6 has surfaced, claiming that Apple is indeed testing out a model with a 4.9 inch display. CTech is reporting from an insider tip that Apple is set to launch the iPhone 6 with a 4.9 inch display. That’s not all, though. If the insider is correct, we may also see the successor of the iPhone 5C get a screen bump as well. We’ve heard quite a few rumors of Apple testing out iPhone handsets with larger displays, and it looks like the company will likely pull the trigger this time around. Whether or not we’ll see a 4.9 inch screen on the new iPhone remains to be seen, but we would be surprised if w...

The LG G Pad 8.3 is the company’s latest tablet entry, and it’s recently gained root access! Those who want to see custom ROMs for the tablet are going to have to wait a bit, but you can at least now take full advantage of applications that require root to work. If you want to root your LG G Pad 8.3, follow along, as we’re going to show you how to do it! That said, there are a few warnings before we get started. Before you root: Keep in mind that we take no responsibility for what happens to your G Pad is something goes wrong. While unconfirmed, the original post on XDA for this root method gives the following warning: Some people have reported that some of your data and IMEI numbers may be sent to a Chinese IP address at the time of root (only a one time thing). You can use this at your own risk, it will give you root but I recommend removing all the data you don’t want others to have access to before rooting. No one has reported anything happening with this data (no stolen accounts ...

Qualcomm announced it’s laying off employees today. The cuts are meant to “trim the fat” a bit and streamline the chipmaker’s workforce. CEO Paul Jacobs told Morning Star  about the company’s cost cutting measures today: “In fiscal 2014 we are facing some mix and demand factors which we currently expect will moderate our QCT growth. In light of this we are taking near-term actions company-wide to prioritize investments, stay focused on growth but also control expenses in order to deliver operating profit growth in excess of revenue growth.” So far the downsizing seem to be focused on management, with several cuts and demotions at the vice-president level. However the company has signaled more cuts will be coming down the line, affecting several departments. Qualcomm’s weak 4th quarter for fiscal year 2013 is thought to be the cause. The company is facing increasing competition from low-cost chipmakers. Also, phone and tablet manufacturers like Samsung and Apple are increasingly develo...

Overview, design and feel The Sony Xperia Z Ultra is a phone that takes the best of the internet and lets it all fly across an impossibly large screen. With the best of Sony's technology inside, does the 6.4-inch screen put it out of reach for most people? Let us paint you a picture: a man walks into a bar. Pulls out his phone. It's got a five-inch screen. The jukebox grinds to a halt, glasses drop, smash on the floor and the crowd recoils in horror. If you could see that happening just two or three years ago, can you imagine the scene if you whipped the even bigger Xperia Z Ultra out in public? There'd be carnage. As it is, you'll certainly raise more than a few eyebrows. Sony's continuing its assault on the portability market – indeed, it's continuing its assault on our senses too. The Xperia Z Ultra is a massive phone. Or a small tablet. A phablet, even, if you subscribe to that idea. Because let's face it – these things are no longer obscene. Like them ...
