It may not be news that will appease disgruntled iPhone 5 owners immediately, but it looks like Apple could be working hard on a solution that could potentially lay to rest the issues surrounding accessory compatibility with iOS devices that are built with the company's new Lightning port embedded within. The launch of the iPhone 5 didn't throw up any surprises in relation to the smaller dock connector port, mainly due to the fact that we had already seen multiple reports of the change but that didn't mean it was any less controversial.
A few weeks ago, Samsung sent a note to U.S. Courts stating that they believed that the iPhone 5 infringed upon multiple patents and that they expected to take Apple to the court over it after carefully analyzing the device. We discussed this in detail in an earlier post. Today, as expected, Samsung has filed a lawsuit against Apple.
The iPhone 5 has been in the public domain for over a week now, and during that period it has managed to shift over five million units, showing just how popular the device is going to be. The initial popularity doesn't detract from the fact that a number of users have been experiencing issues with the sixth-generation device, one of which is centered entirely around a purple glare appearing on images taken with the 8-megapixel rear-facing camera on the handset. In a rather surprising email response, an AppleCare customer support agent has issued a response to one disgruntled photography fan.
JailbreakCon 2012, which not only offered jailbreak enthusiasts the chance to learn from the best by means of various workshops, but once again displayed to the world what a thriving and talented community the scene has forged over the past few years, and with the likes of Saurik, Pod2g and iH8sn0w all giving speeches, it was always going to be an event to remember.

Although mobile devices are renowned for their endless benefits in many fields, one category emerging with emphasis is that of photography. The end of last year saw Apple vote image-editing app Snapseed as its favorite, and a few months into 2012, Facebook purchased the rampant social image-sharing app Instagram, in hindsight, was a lot easier for Zuck and Co. than trying to compete with it.
Launched just over a week ago, the iPhone 5 is currently the most highly demanded smartphone in the market. With supplies running low and availability being limited to a specific set of countries, prices on the streets are at an all time high, as unofficial vendors are charging as much $300-$400 over the official price.
iOS 6 Maps has received its fair share of criticism from the customers and the press, prompting Apple to publish an apologetic letter on their official website’s landing page, and even suggesting users to use third-party alternatives until iOS 6 Maps improve.
There is no shortage of photography apps on the App Store. From end-to-end solutions like Camera+ and Snapseed, to focused ones like DMD Panorama, and IncrediBooth; there is something for everyone!

Every now and then, a jailbreak package comes along that seems like it should have been a part of Apple's own implementation of iOS. The new Merge tweak that has been unveiled by Joshua Tucker and Andrew Richardson during the JailbreakCon event in San Francisco is one of those creations and it wouldn't be surprising if Apple actually adopted it going forward. Merge greatly improves the iMessage feature on compatible iOS devices by merging conversations into one on a per contact basis.
