Apple has just released an updated version of its nearly month-old iOS 5, for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. There was a lot of toil and moil involved in creating iOS 5, and with several pre-release betas being thrown out to developers in the months leading up to release, it was almost inevitable that there would be a swift update after the public finally got their greasy paws on iOS 5.0.
Deceased Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has been nominated for TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year award, Redmond Pie has learned.
Ever since Apple dropped its exciting system-wide voice activation Siri along with the release of the iPhone 4S, many have questioned as to why it is exclusive to the company's latest and greatest smartphone offering.
A recent report from reputable number-counting outfit Flurry has highlighted to us what we essentially already know - smartphones and tablets now make up the majority of the U.S. handheld gaming market in a near 60/40 split; which by our reckoning, will only continue to divide as specs are increased and bulkier dedicated portable consoles become less and less relevant.
According to a report published earlier today, Adobe will be pulling support for Flash on browsers for mobile devices.
Yesterday, we published a post in which we talked about a Chronic Dev Team member claiming that he had found a bug which would help in untethered jailbreak for iOS 5. Today, the same member has let jailbreaking enthusiasts know that if they wish to jailbreak their iOS device untethered, they should stay away from iOS 5.0.1.
It's hard not to be a little excited with each and every new discovery of what the seemingly limitless Siri can do. Having already been ported throughout the iDevice range (even as far back as the iPhone 3GS), it's of little surprise Eric Schmidt is reportedly running a tad scared.
You may have caught our earlier report regarding the Firebreak jailbreak tweak, which allows those with jailbroken devices to access a hidden panoramic camera feature which didn't quite make the final cut of iOS 5.0.
Smartphones have terrible, terrible battery life. From truly horrifyingly terrible like the HTC Thunderbolt, to the somewhat tolerable iPhone 4, no mainstream smartphone can last more than two days with moderately heavy usage. My own smartphone - a Samsung Galaxy S II - doesn’t last more than 14-15 hours on a single charge and I have to invariably charge it overnight to make it through the next day. I love it to pieces, and the short battery life is a compromise I have to take in order to enjoy its great features, but yes, a longer battery life would be highly appreciated.
Consumer Reports - a nonprofit consumer protection organization - today published their thoughts on the iPhone 4S, which you can check in detail after the jump!
