Amazon has updated its Instant Video app for iOS users, and hopes to reel viewers in with a feature allowing the first episode of a TV show to be watched for free. The episode will be ad-supported, and at this time subsequent episodes will not be, but it does perhaps foresight a business model that Amazon may seek to explore in the future.
As you might already have learned by now, Chinese group Pangu just took the jailbreaking world by storm with the release of its new, untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 7.1 and iOS 7.1.1. Although some tweaks should work right off the bat, others will require developer intervention before they can be deemed ready for prime time, and below, you'll find a list of currently-compatible tweaks for Pangu-jailbroken devices.
Pangu iOS 7.1.1 and iOS 7.1 untethered jailbreak was released moments ago, and as promised, here are instructions on how to use said tool to jailbreak your iOS device untethered.
There is a new iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak out in the wild. Released by Chinese developers, and dubbed as Pangu, the new untethered jailbreak is said to be working on the latest iOS 7.1.1 firmware and supports all the latest devices including the likes of iPhone 5S and iPad Air.
Apple's iPhone 5s offered many new features and perks over the preceding iPhone 5, and the most obvious - aside from the gold color option - was the introduction of the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Like many marquee features before it, Touch ID has been exclusive to the iPhone 5s for the duration of its tenure as Apple's flagship, but with the iPhone 6 now looming, it seems almost certain that the fingerprint sensor will also be added to the Cupertino's iPad roster. As well as bringing Touch ID to the iPad Air 2 and Retina iPad mini 3 later this year, it is also being reported that Apple is making some design changes for a more durable, reliable experience moving forward.
One area where Apple’s otherwise wonderful product, the iPhone, falls short in is the file management department. iOS natively does not offer any form of file management solution, owing to the restricted nature of the OS anyway. Then, from the several third-party solutions available over at the iTunes App Store, the good ones are mostly paid. And we’re not talking just $0.99 either; some capable file managers for iPhone and iPad can even touch a solid $10 before you can make them yours. There are free options available, but it’s a pain to find good ones out of the thousands available.
With so much iOS 8 excitement and noise in the way, we tend to forget at times that iOS 7 still exists for devices in our pockets. And today we’ve learned that iOS 7 is due for an incremental update, in the form of 7.1.2, which should drop in a mere few days, according to a new report that has just surfaced.
The most appealing thing about the iTunes App Store over all its competitors is the fact that a number of pretty great apps keep going completely free from time to time, something which is rather uncommon in almost every other platform. We mentioned this earlier as well, that it helps the developers take advantage of the sale boost to increase their app’s popularity and hopefully get better sales statistics when the price goes back to normal. However, on the flipside, for bargain hunters like us, that provides a wonderful opportunity to get great apps for the wonderful price of free. Since we’ve lately taken it upon us to share these great catches with you as well, continue past the break for our today’s pick of apps that are available to download absolutely free.
Never the ones to miss a good game and movie tie-in, Hasbro has released its latest iOS, Android game on the App Store and Play Store, respectively.
The App Store is great and all, and while we're happy to pay for good apps, you just can't beat the excellent price of FREE. That's why many developers take their paid-for apps and drop their price to absolutely nothing for a short time - it creates buzz and with a bit of luck, gets them to the top of the App Store charts. Then they just need that popularity to carry over once the price returns to normal. Sounds easy, doesn't it?
