Daniel Amitay has developed an iPhone security App known as Big Brother Camera Security, which relies on the simple concept of capturing a picture of anyone who enters the wrong passcode when unlocking the device. Weirdly enough, the app also tracks passcodes (on an anonymous basis of course) for statistical purposes, which led Amitay to write a rather amusing blog post with the top 10 most used passcodes. And yes, the most used one is 1234, how did you guess?
As we reported a few days back, there was clear indication that Apple would begin selling unlocked iPhones at its stores today. As expected, Apple has began selling unlocked GSM iPhone 4's at its stores and on its website, but is now the best time to get a brand-new iPhone?
With a software-only WWDC behind us, rumors of next-generation iPhone hardware are back at full speed. According to a credible source, the next iPhone has reached final testing stages, which suggests that a release might be imminent.
The wizards at InfiniteApple, a recently-established Apple-related blog have found out that Apple's iCloud online services actually use third-party services, namely Amazon Cloud Services and Windows Azure.
One thing US iPhone users have always wanted to do has been unlocking their phones, especially since unlocked phones have been available in other countries for a while. If a Twitter source is to be believed, the wait will soon be over, as US Apple Stores might be getting unlocked iPhone 4's in just 3 days.
If you've watched Microsoft concept videos over the years, you probably know how fond the company is of the idea of "Software Plus Services". Microsoft has always painted it as the ability to preserve local software, while still have it interact with online services in real time. While Microsoft has made quite a few achievements in that area in the past few years, isn't Apple about to nail it with iCloud?
Apple's iOS 5 might have stolen the show at the company's WWDC event in San Francisco last week, but the next version of Mac OS X - Lion - also saw a new beta release. According to reports, the latest seed features a new 'Reboot to Safari' feature, akin to Google's Chrome OS laptops.
With WWDC behind us, enthusiasts are starting to look at what's in store for the next-generation iPhone, which is rumored to be announced within the next few months. A spokesman at Etisalat, a United Arab Emirates-based carrier that currently carries the iPhone 4, mentioned a 4G-based "iPhone 5".
One of the most requested features for an upcoming version of iOS was always widgets. People with iPhones have always looked at their Android friends with all their various widgets and thought - 'why can't we have those?' - we've all done it.
iOS 5 is known for its system-wide Twitter integration, but according to a developer who's tested the Beta 1 out, the new iOS also integrates with other social networks, such as Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn and yes, even MySpace.
