This week, Apple released its first-ever instructions for designing and developing a game controller for use with Apple products. The evidence suggests that Apple is gearing up take gaming beyond the confines of its products. It's going to condone console-style game development. And today's game controller for iOS 7 could mean that tomorrow's Apple TV is a full-on gaming platform. Read More >>

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) doesn't kick off until 6pm tonight, but the internet's been wildly speculating about the company's plans for months. Some of it is almost definite (hello, flat design) and some of it's absurd (stop it with this). Here are all the goodies we actually expect Tim Cook and his funky bunch to throw at us later today.

Apple has admitted that some of its third-generation Apple TVs have Wi-Fi issues — but owners with affected hardware are now able to exchange it for a fully functional replacement. Read More >>

Yesterday, we urged you to spend £120 on a new phone for youself as a lovely Valentine's Day treat. That was a mere warm-up. Today we want you to ignore the silly made-up merchandise-flogging non-event completely and get yourself a new laptop instead. Read More >>
According to Nat Brown -- the co-founder of the Xbox, and ex-Microsoft engineer -- Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo should be quaking in their boots. Not because Valve's going to kill them off, or Ouya, but of Apple. If it wanted to, Apple could simply kill them all. Read More >>

Did you hear the latest rumour about Apple's "explorations" into a Dick Tracey-like smartwatch that'll soon be attaching itself to everybody's wrists? It's coming soon. Or never. But it's just another one of an avalanche of products Apple is rumoured to have in the works. Read More >>

According to a FCC filing, Apple has a smaller Apple TV in the works. What's weird is that it's not that much smaller than the current Apple TV — the small version would be 93.78 square millimetres as opposed to the current version's 98 square mm. It's even a little more powerful too. Read More >>
There's no doubt the Apple TV is an "intense area of interest" for Cupertino, Tim Cook said so himself. In fact, the Apple TV could be the future of Apple right there in that tiny little puck. With iOS 6.1, the plucky mini black box just took a massive step forward: you can now hook up a keyboard to it. Are apps and Safari next? Read More >>

Earlier we heard how Apple was adding support for a Bluetooth keyboard to the Apple TV, but now it seems Christmas apps are showing up in the Apple TV store too. Is this simply a balls-up by Apple, or a leak of things to come? Is Apple finally going turn the £100 Apple TV into a killer, app-loaded living room console-come-streamer? Read More >>

The £100 Apple TV really could be Apple's secret weapon in the living room, but it's basically gimped, especially in the UK. No apps, no browser, not much content other than Netflix and expensive iTunes. But what's this? Apple's adding full Bluetooth keyboard support? Now you're talking. Read More >>

If you were ever in doubt that Apple had a full-blown smart HDTV in the works, this should put your mind at rest. Tim Cook's just been quoted as saying it is "an area of intense interest". If that doesn't scream "we're trying our hardest to make TV better, but it's just not there yet," I don't know what does. Read More >>

What happened to "it just works"? Apple used to be the king of simplicity. With products you could buy, update, and use without any real technical knowledge. Recently, Apple seems to be losing it, with bricking updates, pulled software, and delayed 'special builds' that don't make it out in time. This isn't the Apple we're used to. Read More >>
