People have been customizing how their iPhones look for a long time now, but if you want to really get your hands dirty and change just about everything you see on-screen then you'll need to be jailbroken, and even then you might need a few different apps and tweaks to get the desired outcome.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Apple's iOS 8.4 beta 1 adds new audiobook chapter scrubbing and skipping to iOS while also moving audiobooks themselves from the Music app to the iBooks app.
Plenty of people who were unable to get to the Apple Store website quick enough on Apple Watch pre-order day have found that their orders have an expected dispatch time of somewhere around June, which is quite frankly, ridiculous. We knew that Apple’s first wearable is proving popular, but that’s just madness.
The cheap 4K television market is an interesting one to observe, and Vizio is arguably the king of the makers of sets that have a huge number of pixels, look great and cost little. Keen to not stand still Vizio has today announced a new line of televisions, the 2015 M-Series Ultra HD Full-Array LED Smart TV collection.
If you were a little late to the Apple Watch pre-order party then you are likely to have joined the back of a lengthy queue. Not long after pre-orders started, shipping times soon stretched into June.
As we get closer to the Apple Watch going on sale and people start to spend time with one either in-store or during a review, we are finding out more and more about the device that we didn't already know. We already found out that despite Apple saying the Sport model came with two bands, it actually comes with three parts that make up two different sizes of the same strap, for example.
Now that the dust is starting to settle on the Apple Watch pre-order madness that we encountered yesterday and buyers wonder just when their watches will arrive based on Apple's somewhat vague dates, one of the more interesting things to happen was the start of try-on sessions in stores. As people started to fill into stores around the globe, we started to get our first reports on the Apple Watch from normal buyers rather than reviewers.
We've all seen countless unboxing videos of anything from top of the range smartphones and tablets to children's toys. Some people have made quite a pretty penny from doing high quality unboxing videos on YouTube, but with the release of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, Samsung has done something a little different.
Smartwatches are all the rage right now, and with Apple entering the fray with its Apple Watch in the next couple of weeks, all eyes are where the market will take us. Google has already been playing in the space for a while now, and Android Wear has proven mildly popular while not quite reaching the heights that many may have hoped.
Facebook Messenger is hugely popular and even manages to get people to use Facebook even when they don't use the main features of the site. With everyone seemingly having a Facebook account, being able to instantly send messages between your friends is a big deal, and Facebook knows that.
