Could This iPhone 6 Be The Most Accurate Mock-up Yet?

Well-known Dutch designer and concept artist Martin Hajek has designed a new iPhone 6 rendering, which might just be the most accurate one to date.

Hajek had recently joined up with Nowherelse to create a amazing mock-up based on the recently leaked schematics discovered by Macotakara apparently showing the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch variants of the iPhone 6.

With the recent case leak, Hajek revised his designs to show almost everything we currently know (or think we know) about Apple's next iPhone.

Hajek depicts the iPhone 6 as extremely thin, featuring curved corners, a larger display, and a new Sleep/Wake button, which has been moved to the right side from the handset.

This was based on a research note from KGI Investments analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who suggested that Apple is going to move the button from its current spot on top of the iPhone to help with one-handed use of the larger smartphone.

What do you think of Hajek’s designs? Is this what you hope the iPhone 6 you can look like?

The Sony Xperia Z2 Will Launch In The U.S. This Summer

The Xperia Z2 will be launched in the U.S. but not for several months. The launch is planned for "summer." A U.S. launch of the Xperia Compact Z1 is currently not on the books at all, we also learned.

The Z2 will be sold unlocked through Sony's online store. Companies have not been announced, and from what Sony told us, it seems talks are ongoing with carriers and nothing has been finalized yet.

Sony exposed both the Z2 smartphone and Z2 Tablet at Mobile World Congress a few months back. We recently spent some time with the pair and they are impressive kits. Both the phone and tablet are water-proof and while incredibly thin, feel more like the swanky HTC One M8 than the plasticy Samsung Galaxy S5. The Z2 tablet is now available in the U.S.

Yet as Sony indicated in late 2013, the company is not focusing on the US market. Historically, the company has not had much success in the U.S. The Z2 smartphone was released in select Asian markets in March and April. It’s hitting other markets including Canada in May. The U.S. is apparently at the bottom of the list.

And that’s a damn shame. The Z2 is a fantastic Android device.

Mass Effect Trilogy listed for PS4 & Xbox One launch

Mass Effect Trilogy has been listed for a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launch by Chilean retailer Zmart, following quotations from BioWare suggesting that a new-gen package was on the cards.

We reported on the quotes earlier this year, which came from Aaryn Flynn, GM for BioWare’s Edmonton & Montreal studios. On Twitter he said, "We have discussed that internally. If we can put solid plans together we'll share."

Now, the Zmart listings come with PS4 and Xbox One pack art, with no launch date connected. Hit the links for each product page.

In accordance to the site, Mass Effect Trilogy has been rated M for mature on both types.

Samsung Statements only a few Galaxy S5 cameras are defective

 The Samsung Galaxy S5 has been getting issues with its camera – namely, it stops working after a cryptic warning. Samsung has issued a report saying the issue affects only a very limited number of devices.

The company declined to specify an exact number, but apparently the problem was not confined to the US and Verizon, but affected a few other countries as well.

According to the report, the problem was caused by "complications" in the ROM, specifically in the parts responsible for the camera. Samsung has taken steps to reduce this problem reoccurring in newly made devices.

Samsung is expecting lower profits for the first quarter of this year than the same period in the year before. That would be a second quarter of lower profits in a row (Q4 2013 saw a 6% dip in operating profits compared to 2012).

Mad Max trailer touts 2015 release, how vehicles are "more than a machine"

The Mad Max game has a new trailer from Avalanche. The game is out in 2015.

The open world sandbox game was originally slated for a 2014 release on PC, as well as recent and last-gen PlayStation and Xbox games consoles.

In Mad Max, relating to the trailer, you can modify your combat motor vehicle in order to survive the wasteland as "cars are key to survival".

Expect to have the game on PC, PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One next year sometime.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Exclusive Missions Coming to All Platforms

Cordy Sky Apps FREE for iPhone 5s

Cordy Sky is a jumping game where you're an adorable little robot trying to get from the ground of an alien planet to a docked spaceship so you can keep on on your intergalactic mission. Little springy platforms help your ascension, but be cautious, otherwise you drop down to the bottom and have to start all over. Luckily, you have a other robot called Volt that can get you if you drop too far, but only if you've collected the ideal token while ascending skyward. Your trip is split up into five sections, the end of each being marked by a fuel cell you need to get the spaceship running again. Controls are are either through digital buttons, tilt, or swiping.

As you go, you gather gears, which can buy one-time increases, permanent power-ups, or vanity costumes. Of course, you can always just buy gears through in-app purchases, but you can get by perfectly well on your own. Despite the kiddy graphics, the game is basically pretty complicated at points.

Apple Airs New 'Powerful' iPhone 5s ad

 Apple has this night posted a new TV commercial for the iPhone 5s to its YouTube channel. The ad, which was spotted airing during tonight's episode of ABC's 'Providers of SHIELD,' touts the handset's skill to transform into a useful tool for people in various lines of work.

Arranged to the tune of "Gigantic," by the Pixies, the spot shows iPhone 5s managers using the gadget to do items like play music, control stage lighting in a theater, make short movies, create art installations and much more. The tagline of the ad is 'You're more powerful than you think.'

Interestingly enough, this is Apple's first commercial for the iPhone 5s since the 'Misunderstood' spot that aired throughout the holidays. It seems as though the company has given marketing priority to the iPad and iPhone 5c, the latter of which is believed to be selling poorly.

Anyway, there isn’t much to note about the 'Powerful' advert itself. It's pretty standard for Apple these days—very reminiscent of the 'Your Verse' iPad campaign. If anything, it seems almost too safe of a play, particularly for a company that’s worried it’s losing an advertising battle.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Launch Oct 7

 
Dragon Age: Inquisition will launch on Oct 7, EA has verified. The game is expected to launch simultaneously on Xbox One, Xbox 360, Ps3, PlayStation 4 and PC.

The date was revealed through a brand new game play trailer launching the Inquisitor, "the lone survivor of a cataclysmic blast... [and] the only one who can stop the demons terrorizing the land of Thedas".

October 7 is shaping up to be a busy day for AAA releases with Warner's Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and SEGA's Alien: Isolation also set for launch on the same day. Batman: Arkham Knight is expected to follow a week later, too.

Expect to hear much more on Dragon Age: Inquisition at E3 in beginning June.
