Even in the aftermath of the 2014 Black Friday rush, Apple fans are more likely to take home the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus as shipments of the devices are set to significantly increase in time for the Christmas season.

Just in time for the 2014 holiday shopping season, Google’s latest Android 5.0 Lollipop will soon power up key flagships that buyers can therefore include on their to-buy list this Christmas.

The 2014 Black Friday fever appears to infect Apple too as the tech giant will reportedly start the operation of its retail stores earlier than usual on November 28, likely providing killer deals to iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 shoppers.

Cydia creator @saurik has given his seal of approval for the iOS 8 jailbreak that Chinese hacking team Pangu has released, saying in a tweet that the tool is “stable enough,” for use by the jailbreak community.

Numerous reports of crashing iPhone 6 Plus that affects the 64GB and 128GB variant will be addressed soon by Apple though the company is stopping short of ordering a mass recall, a new report said.

Believe it or not, South Koreans enjoy the privilege of taking home the iPhone 6 without having to dig too deep inside their wallets, paying up only $92 per unit.

Popcorn Time, sometimes called as the Netflix for pirates, is back from the dead with the recent release of its reportedly more resilient mobile application beta version 5.0 and vows to stay online like its BitTorrent counterpart The Pirate Bay.

Black Friday 2014 nears and after that the year’s holiday shopping season will take centre stage, prompting the question: What worthy gadgets to grab this Christmas?

Apple’s innovation is yet to end with the iPhone 6 as new reports are suggesting that come the next iPhone release date in 2015, the device, likely to be called iPhone 6S or 7, will come equip with 3D display panel.

Apple is reportedly releasing soon its next iOS update as hinted by the seeing this week of beta iOS 8.1.1, from which jailbreak fans are warned to keep a safe distance.

As Black Friday 2014 and the year’s holiday shopping season draw near, deals involving Google’s Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 become more irresistible, commencing on the Android 5.0 Lollipop devices’ release date week.

The verdict is in and analysts are in agreement that in order for Samsung to stay relevant and put a decent fight against Apple it needs a fresh catalyst, which could prove as the Galaxy S6 release date in the early months of 2015.

This week marked the release date of both the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 via the Google Play Store on at least three markets – the United States, United Kingdom and Australia.

No, Apple’s iPad Mini will not succumb to the expected onslaught of Google’s fresh high-end Nexus 9 slate, but the small iOS tablet could be gone soon and likely to be eliminated by forces within Apple.

New rumours about Apple’s iPad Pro nearing release date surfaced anew that suggested the device is virtually designed to replace the MacBook Air – replicating the latter’s numerous purposes in the fields of education, business and even gaming.

Thanks to Black Friday 2014 that kicks off on November 28 Apple fans can take home the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 with a cash setback of only $99 while the first iPad Air will be up for grabs less $100 from the normal sticker price.

Google is reportedly playing a different game starting this 2014 in order for its Nexus 6 to beat current phablet market leaders iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy Note, respectively from Apple and Samsung.

More than a week after Team Pangu deployed its iOS 8 jailbreak, the Chinese developers have mostly plugged the holes that came with the iPhone and iPad unlocking tool.

Apple has packed notable improvements with the iPad Air 2 but do the upgraded specs and features, which many view as trivial jumps from the last build, merit a buy or upgrade decision?

True to its word, Google started taking pre-orders of the Motorola-crafted Nexus 6 and basing on initial reports the likelihood of stock outs happening is quite high.

Next week, that is the start of November 2014, the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 will hit Google Play Store and other select outlets, thus commencing one of the years’ most-awaited global device rollout in Android sphere.

As promised, Pangu and @saurik are hard at work to make the latest iOS 8 jailbreak more stable and usable and the collaboration so far has produced this week the 1.0.2 Untethered JB tool and the upgraded Cydia Substrate version 0.9.5015 respectively.

It goes without saying that the HTC-built Nexus 9 is designed as Google’s iPad Air 2 killer but a new report is saying that the Nexus maker is looking beyond the goal of slaying the tablet king – Apple that is.

Wild speculations fly when on its release date this year, Apple made the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus available in 16GB, 64GB and 128GB storage configurations.

Apple’s iPhone 6 release this 2014 will not be hampered by supply crunch as the company had reportedly secured sufficient stocks, likely flooding the market with 50 million freshly-minted units before the end of December.

In choosing the iPhone 6 over the Nexus 6, Apple fans are bound to miss out on four incredible device features because they are exclusive in the Android sphere, specifically version 5.0 or Lollipop that will power Google’s 2014 flagship smartphone.

The iOS 8 jailbreak that Pangu has released last week now counts more or less 250 Cydia tweaks ready for the taking by jailbreak fans, also making the iPhone and iPad unlocker a bit more tempting.

Samsung will play Santa and deliver the sweet Lollipop or Android 5.0 to Galaxy S5 owners worldwide hopefully in time for Christmas 2014, a new report said.

Apple is ramping up efforts to ensure that sufficient supplies of both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are available come Christmas 2014 as the tech giant reportedly improved on its ongoing business deals with Foxconn.
