Sure, it’s just an iPhone battery case, but what marks this one out from the many others is the manufacturer: Apple. The £79 iPhone 6s Smart Battery Case is the first sign that Apple is ready to acknowledge that its phones are too thin to contain adequate batteries. The case adds 80 percent to the battery life – and about 100 percent to the thickness – of an iPhone 6 or 6s. Unlike most third-party battery add-ons, the back of the case isn’t flat, but has a bulge in the middle housing the battery. Apple claims the iPhone 6s allows you to surf the Internet on LTE for “up to” 10 hours, a figure that could reach up to 18 hours with the external battery. The battery could also boost…

From £299 inc VAT • apple.com/uk In all the hubbub of the iPad Pro, Apple TV, and iPhone 6s launches, you could be excused for forgetting about this year’s previous Apple darling, the Apple Watch. There’s been a lot of discussion of late over the Watch, in particular how it’s doing and whether or not it’s a flop. As someone who’s been wearing one pretty much daily for eight months now, I feel like I’ve finally integrated it into my life enough that I’ve got a good idea of both its capabilities and its limitations. And believe me, it’s got plenty of both. Watch this I’ve worn watches on and off for my life – I even went through a brief phase, and I’m not proud of this, where I…

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: Apple releases a new product that forgoes a standard piece of legacy technology. We read all about how said product is going to fail and how we can’t possibly live without whatever it is that got left off. Millions of people buy one anyway, unaware or unaffected by the change, and the rest of the industry comes around to Apple’s way of thinking. So when I read the rumour that Apple is exploring an iPhone that ditched the 3.5mm headphone jack, I barely batted an eye. Even if it turns out to not be true with regards to the iPhone 7, it’s a move that is inevitable at some point in the iPhone’s evolution. The universal port has been a function of every…

Apple will hold its next event in March 2016, at which it will unveil the Apple Watch 2, alongside the rumoured iPhone 6c and the iPad Air 3, according to reports. Rumours suggest that the Apple Watch 2 will appear at that event but that it won’t ship until April, a year after the first Apple Watch went on sale. Apple has held events in March over the years, including the launch of the Apple Watch and MacBook in 2015 and the launch of the iPad 3 back in 2012. It seems likely that the Apple Watch 2 won’t be the only new product to launch at the March event. A number of Apple products are due an update around that time. We think we may see the following new…

In September 2015 Apple’s iPhone 5c turned two years old, and that led to questions about whether it’ll be the first and last model of the colourful, plastic iPhone. Earlier in 2015, we were worried that Apple had decided to ditch the ‘C’ range from its iPhone line-up, but reports keep on appearing suggesting that an smaller iPhone 6c (or iPhone 6s mini) might launch in 2016. Here, we’ve gathered all of the latest iPhone 6c rumours, including release date, design, specs and features speculation. We’ve also got iPhone 6c concept images and mock-ups. In the run up to the September 2015 Apple event at which we saw the launch of the iPhone 6s Plus and the 6s there were a lot of rumours about those phones, but not so…

1. Paper Price: Free There are no shortage of writing and painting apps on the iPad, but FiftyThree’s Paper is the one to get first. This app enables you to sketch, and draw, with a variety of different pens, pencils and brushes, and the scissors act like cut-and-paste but for your scribbles. There’s also a neat Pen and Ruler tool that you can use to draw arrows, squares, triangles and other shapes (it makes for an effective flowchart too). When it comes to picking the best apps for iPad, we chose Paper hands-down to be number one in our list. No other app recreates the experience of working with a physical medium quite as well. Like its name suggests, its paper for your iPad. 2. MyScript Calculator Price: Free Debate…

£139 inc VAT • apple.com/uk The iPad Pro launched on 11 November, and with it came a new and Apple Pencil stylus and Smart Keyboard accessory designed specifically for the iPad Pro review. We’ve spent time with all three, but here we’re focusing on the Smart Keyboard, which is not only a keyboard to help bring laptop functionality to the 12in iPad, but also acts as a stand and a case to protect the iPad’s screen. Typing experience I’m writing this review using the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard, and am surprised to find that it’s suitably speedy once you get the hang of it. To begin with, I was making mistakes in almost every word, but it only took a few paragraphs to figure out the positioning of the keys…

As Apple makes more and more money by selling more and more iPhones, it seems like the company barely has to try to remain at the top of the heap. And yet 2015 was one of Cupertino’s biggest years ever in terms of innovation, with product refreshes almost across the board (sorry, Mac Pro), a new device category (hey, Apple Watch), and a streaming service to rival Spotify (Apple Music). But the shiny patina of new devices didn’t distract anyone when Apple missed the mark this year, as it sometimes does. From the weird staggered rollouts of the Apple Watch in spring and Apple Pencil in fall to Apple Music’s iCloud disaster, Apple wasn’t without its missteps in 2015. Then there were the head-scratching rumours, the indecipherable product decisions, and…

The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus provide up to 128GB of storage, which makes them ideal for home entertainment and storing all your music and video files – even those with 16GB devices can stream the latest music through the likes of Apple Music and Spotify. With music becoming more easily available, you’ll need a good speaker system to go with them, and you’re really spoilt for choice these days. There are dozens of speaker manufacturers fighting for a slice of the Apple pie, with speakers in all shapes and sizes, designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Many speakers talk the talk – but do they walk the walk? Here we explain various features you should look out for when in the market for a new speaker for your…

“What’s with that Apple battery pack?” If you’re the resident Apple know-it-all in your family/office/school, you probably heard this question more than once this week. It’s an appropriate one to ask when the biggest company in the world dropped one of its strangest releases: a battery case with a weird hump that promises to extend the life of your iPhone 6 or 6s by 25 hours. I won’t say it’s awkward, but had it been released by a company like Griffin or even Mophie, it would have a hard time finding someone to sit with in the cafeteria. But since it’s Apple, the whole world noticed. The timing of the release was curious in itself – on a random Tuesday, just 17 days before Christmas – but even if it…
