If for some odd reason you were wondering if your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus is snow proof, that question seems to be have been answered in what can be best described as another crazy experiment posted on YouTube. More on that, right after the jump!
The war between iOS and Android is never-ending, with fanboys on each side seemingly willing to battle to the death in the ongoing back and forth. While we're accustomed to seeing these two platforms showdown on software and hardware features, though, today the two titans lock horns in a fight of a different kind - a sci-fi battle that pits iPhone users against their Android-wielding counterparts. But who wins? Find out after the fold!
When writing emails, responding to WhatsApp or even just making shopping lists, you may find that you're tapping in the same phrases every time. Recognizing this, one app developer has decided to help you save time, creating a keyboard through which you can store and conveniently prepare and access such phrases while bypassing the tedium of keying in the same stuff over and over.
Here's how you can use iPhone or iPad as an external wireless drive for your PC or Mac. Complete details and download link can be found here.
The perfect game-meets-art title called Icycle: On Thin Ice is this week's iOS ‘App of the Week’ and is up for grabs absolutely free for a limited time (usually $2.99). This physics based, one of a kind game is one of the best titles to have hit the iTunes App Store, and if you want to know why, read on after the jump.
One of the major features of the iOS 8 update, or specifically, iOS 8.1, was that of Apple Pay. Apple is really pushing banks and retailers to support its new contactless infrastructure, which operates seamlessly with its array of devices, and now, it appears that the United Kingdom will be joining the party very shortly. As per a new report from a reputable British newspaper publication, Apple Pay should be ready for prime time throughout the UK in the first half of next year, with a number of major banks already making the necessary preparations.
One of the bigger quirks of iOS 8 running on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is the Reachability feature in these devices, which essentially allows for a convenient one-handed operation despite the large display size of both these phones. In reality, Apple's implementation of one-handed UI for iOS 8 is better than what any other manufacturer has been able to achieve. Still, when you look at Reachability, it's evident that there's so much more that can be done with this feature, especially if it’s opened up to developers. Well, that's what we have jailbreaking for, and thanks to a new tweak released just recently in Cydia, your Reachability space becomes a new multi-tasking interface, providing a mix of the app switcher and Safari's 3D tabs.
ReachApp, now in beta and available to download via Cydia, is a split-screen multitasking tweak that we’ve had our eyes on for a little while and we’re pleased to see it come to fruition.
At this time of year, when we're all spent up and waiting for the credit card bills to arrive, nothing's more welcome than the possibility of getting something for nothing. Our regular readers will know that we have a bit of a tradition of telling our dear ones of paid apps that have gone free, whether for a limited time or for good.
Christmas is always a good time to shift goods online, whether that be as part of something like Black Friday madness or just the good old fashioned gift shopping. Christmas day itself is also a big shopping event with people getting gift cards or, our personal favorites, generic gift tokens in the form of cold hard cash.
