Facebook has today begun rolling out a new iPhone app, with the latest designed to make managing Facebook Pages as easy as possible for those in charge of a business presence on the social network.

Being an iOS device owner is somewhat a bitter experience. On one hand, you have Apple’s design and the manufacturer’s cutting-edge premium products which no-one seems to have matched in terms of aesthetics and usability. And on the other hand, the iOS software that powers the device, which has some glaring inadequacies that I just can’t seem to fathom why Apple hasn’t resolved them.

One of the most important concept that exists within any mobile computing environment is the design of the user-facing interface. With mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets having limited screen real estate, it is vitally important that the operating system and any installed apps present all necessary information to the user in the most efficient and attractive manner possible.

The official iOS App Store is awash with all singing and dancing Twitter apps which allow members to interact with all aspects of the micro-blogging service. Regardless of whether it is the official Twitter app, or a third-party creation such as TweetBot or Echofon, that is your preference. Sometimes, something a little bit faster and lightweight is required.

There has been a lot of internet chatter over the last week or so about Ashton Kutcher transforming himself to look like Apple founder Steve Jobs for the upcoming Jobs movie. The movie itself will more than likely end up being a cult hit, mainly because of the coverage it has received, but also because of the popularity of Jobs himself. It seems Kutcher will most definitely play a convincing role, but he may not be the only actor to play Steve Jobs on the big screen.

With Apple looking likely to follow the launch pattern they set in 2011 with the iPhone 4S, users can expect to see an announcement and launch of the sixth-generation iPhone around October time. As the expected release date draws closer, the inevitable speculation and conjecture about the possible aesthetics of the device have started to surface.

We manage to get through boatloads of photo-based apps here at Redmond Pie, and thanks to the rise of Instagram, there are now hundreds – maybe thousands of apps available, which has seen the quality of this category rise to meteoric levels.

Ever since the release of iOS 5 alongside the iPhone 4S, Apple has been struggling to bring the battery life up to par. At first the belief was that perhaps the issue was hardware related, rather than the software that it shipped with. Soon though, it was clear that owners of the iPhone 4 and other hardware were also suffering from less than stellar battery life. Problems indeed.

Although it is highly likely that it will take another five months or so until Apple decides to introduce the world to their sixth-generation iPhone, the company thankfully never leaves technology fans waiting too long before it gives us something to get excited about. Apple has only recently pushed out iOS 5.1.1 to the public, but with their annual Worldwide Developer Conference looming, recent findings are adding to the speculation that we will see iOS 6 introduced at the event in San Francisco.

It seems that iOS-based text editing tweaks for jailbroken devices can be compared to London buses, they keep you waiting for significant periods of time and all of a sudden two of them would show up at the same time. That is the exact same thing which has recently happened in Cydia with the release of the SwipeShiftCaret tweak as well as the SwipeSelection offering.

While there are plenty of Mobile Safari alternatives in the form of Dolphin, SkyFire and iCab, Apple’s iOS iteration of its popular desktop browser could soon be facing a battle from Google, since rumor has it that the web company is developing Chrome for the fruit company’s ecosystem – an app which could be finished as early as this quarter.

With Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference being just a few weeks away, we have reached that point in the year again when speculation and conjecture surrounding the launch of the next-generation iPhone increases dramatically. Historically, Apple have used their developer conference in San Francisco to showcase new iPhone releases, but that trend was broken last year when the Cupertino company decided to launch the current model, the iPhone 4S, in October rather than June.

The news that Google is looking to bring a Game Center-like feature to its Android smartphone and tablet operating system is a particularly interesting one, if perhaps not a surprising one.

Stefan Esser, also known throughout tech space as i0n1c, is without a doubt, one of the most talented iOS hackers around. While the Cydia community has been working tirelessly to find a jailbreak for the brand new, Retina-displaying iPad running the latest firmware, Esser has been ahead of the game since day one, and no sooner did he get his new device home, than he released pictures on Twitter of his achieved jailbreak.

In every walk of life, everyone loves to get a bargain and receive something for free, with smartphone users being no different. Although we think about nothing before spending hundreds of dollars on buying the latest gadgetry, we tend to be hesitant when it comes to spending the odd few pennies on apps and software to compliment that device.

When the internet discovered last week that Apple’s Siri provided a rather interesting response to the question “what is the best smartphone ever,” much hilarity ensued. For those who were asleep for the entire week or somehow managed to miss all the fun, Siri responded to the question by entrusting Wolfram Alpha to do the donkey work. The result, rather unfortunately for Apple, was the Lumia 900 4G.

While Apple’s iCloud has enjoyed a good start to its life as a fully-fledged cloud service, the Cupertino company recognizes the importance of constantly updating and improving it – particularly given Microsoft and Google’s recently introduced cloud-based efforts SkyDrive and Google Drive.

New iPhone 5 concept images, created by the owner of a Kickstarter project, show what we suspect would be many people’s choice for the design of the unannounced smartphone, even if we can’t see Apple ever going for it.

Popular jailbreak tool Redsn0w – compiled by the iPhone Dev Team – has just been updated with full support for iOS 5.1.1. You may have caught our tutorial, which detailed how one could jailbreak their device tethered using Redsn0w, although since it was a pre-iOS 5.1.1 release, users needed to “point” the tool to the older firmware.

Given the ability to add a level of security to our gadgets is something which provides users subtle peace of mind, after all, with things like tablets and smartphones playing such a prominent role in our everyday lives, the chances are high that they contain a lot of sensitive and private information such as emails and photographs.
