Apple’s iBeacon system is to get its first retail launch in Macy’s branches in Union Square, San Francisco and Herald Square, NYC, within the next few weeks, reports TechCrunch. Apple will of course be using the system in its own retail stores, though likely after the Macy’s launch. Macy’s is already operating a closed trial of the system. iBeacon has so far had a low profile, with most non-techies still completely unaware of it – but all that looks set to change very rapidly with a flurry of major retailer launches....

Apple is working on an iPad with a super-high 2,048-x-1,536 resolution display and some component makers are already beginning to invest in processes to product such screens — but they aren’t set to appear until iPad 3.0. D’oh! This, at least, is what is being claimed by IDC analyst, Tom Mainelli, who told PC World: “Our sources say Apple has requested that manufacturers begin work on displays with that resolution for the iPad 3....

When Samsung launched the 5.3 inch Galaxy Note two years ago, they were heavily mocked. Even I admit to throwing some tomatoes at them. But then the Note II changed everything. It was narrower, which made it easier to hold, and by that time a device with an even larger 5.5 inch screen didn’t seem too crazy to comprehend. With one day to go until Samsung unveils the Note III, it’s no surprise to see a new report from IDC saying phablets kicked serious ass in Asia in Q2 2013....

IKEA announced earlier in the year that HomeKit integration was on the way for its smart bulb range by the ‘fall’.

Despite the comments on its product specifications, HomeKit integration is not yet ready for primetime according to the company’s Facebook page: “The plan is that everything will work as we’d like this fall”....

Earlier this week, when HTC launched the 10, it silently also launched a Lifestyle version of the handset in India with a slower Snapdragon 652 processor and 3GB RAM. This infuriated many loyal fanboys of the company in the country, as to why the Taiwanese OEM was not bringing its impressive flagship to India, and instead launching a watered down version here. Thankfully, all the negative feedback that the company has received from its fans and potential customers over the last few days seems to have worked, as the HTC South Asia President Mr....

How long do most people keep a mobile phone before they decide they’ve had enough of it and want a new one? If you’re in a country where you sign two year contracts, then your operator pretty much dictates your replacement cycle. But if you’re the kind of person that buys phones full unlocked and unsubsidized, then what’s a good cadence? Is it 18 months? 24 months? More? HTC thinks two years is when most people will dump their phones, which is why they’ve just announced that the One X and One X+ will no longer receive software updates....

Certainly it feels a bigger screen size matters there, though it doesn’t go to the full phablet level like the Galaxy Note 4....
