The world of fitness accessories that talk to smartphones is starting to get interesting, and not just because Apple's upcoming Apple Watch is going to have the sensors required to make HealthKit truly useful. Fitbit is one company that already has skin in the wearable game, and it's not about to stand still while the competition eats its lunch.

Now that there is an iOS 8 jailbreak out for iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and other devices, it's a case of sitting back and waiting for all of your favorite tweaks to be updated to take advantage of what the new mobile operating system has to offer.

Here's a complete step by step guide on how to record video of iPhone and iPad screen on iOS 8 using OS X Yosemite.
Apple's big event from last week may universally be known as 'the iPad event,' but it certainly wasn't the only new product to be announced by Tim Cook and his bevy of vice presidents.
