4.7-inch iPhone 6 To Feature Larger 2,100mAh Battery

Ben Reid·August 6, 2014

Like most of the changes that have been made to the iPhone through the generations, the improvement in the battery capacity of Apple's smartphone has been meager at best. Sure, tweaks to the processor and other optimizations have allowed the battery retention to improve, but given that the next-gen handset looks set to include a larger display, NFC and other improvements, there's no doubt that the battery's capacity must also increase to cope with the workload. We've heard reports that the 4.7-inch model will include a battery of around the 1,900mAh mark, with that number changing dependent on the source, but with around one month to go until the purported announcement, it would appear that the figure may be as high as 2,100mAh.

Oliver Haslam·August 6, 2014

It may not have all the fancy whizz-bang features of some of the new crop of high-end smartwatches from the likes of LG and Motorola, but the Pebble smartwatch is still very much loved by those that own one. Granted it may be a little on the monochrome side when it comes to its screen, but we can't have everything now can we, especially considering the device's rather accessible asking price.

One of the reasons why Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and several other infotainment-based services are currently emerging is due to the issue of road safety. Sure, our smartphones offer a wealth of information at our fingertips, but when we're driving, we can no longer use them. Of course, some folks like to flout the law and put the lives of themselves and others at risk, but for the most part, the tech industry is looking for a middle-ground whereby folks and digitally engage without compromising safety. An interesting new dashboard-ready gadget attempts to achieve exactly this, beaming notifications and other useful info to drivers who can still maintain focus on the road.

The touch-based environment has risen to prominence over the past few years, with many skeptics and naysayers having been won over in the process. As well as the increase in the number of smartphones, tablets and other touch-enabled gadgets sold every year, we've also seen efforts to bring gestures to our regular computers and notebooks. Some have focused on air gestures, allowing users to swipe using simple hand signals, while others, like the $75 offering seen below, have sought to turn everyday surfaces into touch panels.

Evasi0n and Pangu Jailbreaks Nominated For 2014 Pwnie Award, Which One Should Win? [POLL]

Ben Reid·August 5, 2014

To get one untethered jailbreak per major iOS release is a blessing in itself, but even though the job of the jailbreaking scene gets more difficult with each year that passes by, the fact that Evad3rs and Pangu both dropped untethered jailbreaks for iOS 7 was nothing short of heroic. Evad3rs' Evasi0n tool took care of iOS 7.0.x, and when this was eventually plugged, the self-titled tool from the Pangu team took care of iOS 7.1.x. Now, both are up for a Pwnie award in the ‘Best Privilege Escalation Bug’ category, a gathering that highlights the work of those in the field of security research, and although we've no personal affinity to one over the other, we'd certainly love to see a jailbreak team yield such acclaim.

Being the source of most iPhone 6 hardware leaks, there's a very good case to be made for Chins being the best place to pick up a fake iPhone 6 too. Turns out that's exactly true after Apple's next iPhone was once again beaten to market by a knockoff, and one that actually looks pretty good.

You Can Now Unlock Your iPhone By Simply Blowing At It

Paul Morris·August 4, 2014

If you find Apple's default method of unlocking your iOS device a little cumbersome and overused then one of the latest tweaks to land in Cydia could provide some comfort. BlowToUnlock is a new tweak for jailbroken iOS devices that allows the hardware to be unlocked and accessed when a "blow" of air is detected on the device's microphone aperture. In short, you can hold the device up to your mouth, blow into it and expect to get immediate access to the device without going through the traditional Slide to Unlock process.
