Apple has made a concerned effort to try and improve most parts of its iOS platform in recent years. The release of iOS 8 represented a significant technological advancement for the platform, and although some may disagree due to the amount of bugs still present, it actually feels like the best version of the iPhone and iPad OS to date. One area that Apple has concentrated on, albeit extremely silently, is the native Phone app. With that in mind, if the Phone app doesn't live up to your requirements, or you're looking for something a little additional and you happen to be jailbroken, then the Area Code Display Pro package could potentially be the solution you've been seeking.

CES, which is held annually in Las Vegas, represents a chance for the world's most recognizable and innovative brands to descend on the Vegas Strip to showcase their latest and greatest wares to the world. LifeProof, the maker of waterproof cases for smartphone devices, has just used the trade show as a platform to introduce its latest waterproof offering, the fre Power, which not only offers the expected water resistance but also a large battery boost to the connected iPhone 6.
CES is always a great way to kick off the new year in technology laden style, with 2015 being no different. We've already witnessed a number of new and unique accessories for smartphones, and now, thanks to Hyper, we can also add the iStick Pro to that growing list of exciting products that will be available to consumers during 2015.
Samsung's Galaxy S series of smartphones may be sitting up there at the top of the food chain as some of the most popular devices in the world, but there's always something a little "off" about them. Many consumers who were once staunch Samsung advocates and lovers of the Galaxy S series have abandoned ship in recent years in favor of a smartphone that can offer a more solid, robust experience built upon strong engineering expertise. Sadly for Samsung, its devices have never been what you could call ‘premium quality,’ which is something that could change if this purported body of the Galaxy S6 turns out to be a genuine article.
2015 promises to carry on where the previous calendar year left off, which will hopefully see some of the world's biggest companies introduce a range of technologically innovative hardware that will not only delight us as consumers, but also make our day-to-day lives easier. 2014 was all about the introduction of intelligent wearable devices, as well as blending biometric detection with existing consumer tech, which looks to not only continue but also dramatically move forward this year if this promotional video for the ViewSonic V55 smartphone is anything to go by.
Smartphones have evolved dramatically over the last five years to become a necessity in our day-to-day existence, but what happens if you're the forgetful type who happens to misplace belongings quite a lot? An iPhone is just another piece of mobile equipment, therefore making it small enough to be misplaced with relative ease. Thankfully, if this has ever happened to you there is now a solution in the form of a new jailbreak tweak called Clap.
If you happen to be in the market for a new smartphone for yourself, a family member or a loved one then you can do a lot worse than grabbing one of HTC's creations. Devices like the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S5 seem to attract most of the mainstream praise for Apple and Samsung when people are discussing the best smartphone on the market, but let's not forget about the likes of HTC who silently goes about its business by making quality, powerful and innovative hardware. As a gesture of goodwill to all men and women, HTC is running a limited time festive sale that allows anyone to receive 20% off any device when purchasing directly through the HTC website. How's that for an early Christmas present?
Consumers purchase smartphones based on a number of different factors. Some individuals are looking for a device with a powerful camera to capture high-quality photos. Some purchases are made purely on the aesthetics of the device, while others may look for a smartphone with a crisp, high-resolution display such as Apple's Retina HD screen or Samsung's 4.7-inch Super AMOLED. One thing we're pretty sure consumers aren't looking for with their next smartphone purchase is a powerful handheld device that spontaneously bursts into flames and burns right through the mattress on a bed, which is exactly what happened to this LG G3.

Over the last few years the App Store has become such a crowded marketplace that it's often extremely difficult to filter out the dreary mundane apps and find ones that really offer something unique and tangible.
