The fifth-generation Apple iPad is here and it is the first time Apple’s 9.7-inch tablet has gotten a huge redesign going more compact and modern to deserve a brand new name - the iPad Air. The big change have come to the outside, but there’s a lot improved under the hood as well, so let’s take a look. Apple has traditionally held the upper hand in tablet graphics and the iPad Air ups the ante in both CPU and GPU power with the Apple A7 chip. That looks to be the same chip Apple is using in the iPhone 5s, a somewhat strange decision since we’ve been accustomed to getting an Ax version of Apple’s chips with more graphical oomph in iPads. Not this time probably. In terms of the performance gain, Apple put it simple and clear: the new iPad Air has up to 8x faster CPU performance and 72x faster graphics performance in comparison to the original. The company is usually pretty spot on with those numbers, so we have no reason to distrust them. The new iPad Air is also 2x faster openi...

Apple has posted a help document outlining the security safeguards it takes for the new Touch ID fingerprint sensor on the iPhone 5s. Here's the essence : Security Safeguards Every fingerprint is unique, so it is rare that even a small section of two separate fingerprints are alike enough to register as a match for Touch ID. The probability of this happening is 1 in 50,000 for one enrolled finger. This is much better than the 1 in 10,000 odds of guessing a typical 4-digit passcode. Although some passcodes, like "1234", may be more easily guessed, there is no such thing as an easily guessable fingerprint pattern. Instead, the 1 in 50,000 probability means it requires trying up to 50,000 different fingerprints until potentially finding a random match.  But Touch ID only allows five unsuccessful fingerprint match attempts before you must enter your passcode, and you cannot proceed until doing so. To configure Touch ID, you must first set up a passcode. Touch ID ...

iOS 7 officially released this week to much fanfare, and users with an iPhone 4 or newer are able to get in on the fun. But many of you have been experiencing a ton of keyboard lag when typing messages and emails — something that I never came across during my experience. However, there’s an easy way to fix it, but it’s simply more of a temporary fix rather than a permanent one, since we’re hoping that Apple will hear about the bug and issue a small update to fix it sometime in the near future. The keyboard lag problem lies within iCloud, which is an odd place to have a keyboard lag issue, but many iPhone 4s users have sworn by this fix. Fixing iOS 7 Keyboard Lag. This fix works perfectly on iPhone 4/4s. If you’re experiencing lag and delays when typing out messages, try this: Open up the Settings app and navigate to   iCloud > Documents & Data :  Turn off : .

You have an Android or iOS portable device and you want to use VoIP on it for all its benefits. You are doing the right thing. But which VoIP app to install? There are plenty of them for Android, iOS and BlackBerry. All the lists will show that Skype is the most popular and Viber is among the runner ups. Besides, most of your friends, along with just anyone else, are speaking of these two. Which one to install on your device and which one to use? If you want my humble opinion, install both, as they don’t work exactly the same way, and they will serve you differently. But if for any reason you want to decide between the two, here is my assessment and comparison, based on the following criteria: ease of use, cost, popularity, mobility, data consumption, call quality, who you can call, and features. Ease of Use Both apps are very user friendly and straightforward to install. They work differently however. Skype requires you to use a username and a password. The username will be the i...

Apple’s iPad has already gone through four revisions, with a fifth iPad likely to be launched soon. As well as its superb design and easy-to-use software, it also lasts longer than most tablets, with Apple claiming 10 hours of battery life, even for the newer models with Retina screens. Compared to an  iPhone , the iPad needs more power to charge it, which is why Apple includes a beefier power supply in the box. The iPhone charger produces 1A, but the iPad version kicks out 2.1A. You can still use an iPhone charger (shown below) to charge your iPad, but it will take around twice as long compared to using the 2.1A charger. If this isn’t the reason your iPad is charging slowly, bear in mind that it does take a long time to fully charge an iPad from 0% to 100%. The iPad 2 takes around 4 hours using the official Apple charger, which is a fair amount of time, but since the iPad 3 and 4 have roughly 70% more capacity in their batteries, they take around 7 hours to char...
