New iPhone renders created from a ‘highly detailed CAD file’ show an iPhone 8 design with embedded Home button, glass back and what appears to be an area carved out for a wireless charging coil.

This is a significant move, which boosts just how attractive standard FM radio broadcasts can now be in a digital age....

Earlier this week the iPod touch received a modest upgrade, arriving with little fanfare via an Apple press release.

The new hardware upgrades make it so that iPod touch users can enjoy Augmented Reality (AR) apps along with Group FaceTime capability for the first time....
