Want to order an Apple product from the convenience of your couch or home and pick it up in-store? Well, there will be an app for that sooner than you think.
Rumors of an iOS-powered Apple TV Displays have existed for a long, long time now. Each year, we hear the story: “Apple HDTVs in the making; to be announced later this year!” but it just never happens. This year, though, it’s a pretty different story.
I’m sure readers of Redmond Pie already know about Find My Friends. It’s a location tracking app developed by Apple which was released on October 12th alongside iOS 5. I don’t know if it is fair to say this, but Find My Friends is definitely Apple’s version of Google Latitude - an imitation, essentially, of a similar service which all Android smartphones have been offering since 2009. It feels rather odd seeing an innovative company like Apple doing the copying (especially after calling 2011 “Year of the Copycats” in March). The copying done here, though, is not your regular half-hearted stuff: Apple has added some nifty features which sets their location-tracking tool apart from Google Latitude.
A new Cydia package called “SemiTether” jailbreak for iOS 5 is now available on BigBoss repository which basically helps reboot tethered-jailbroken iPhone and iPod touch without having to plug in your device into PC or Mac. This is second best thing to having an untethered jailbreak. The only one downside to it is that it doesn’t allow you to use Safari, Mail, Cydia, and jailbreak apps installed on your device.
Hello there, everyone! It’s time to do another post in our series of comparison posts in which, well, we compare stuff. In this comparison post, ‘stuff’ is the three major mobile operating systems - iOS 5, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Windows Phone 7.5 Mango - and it is their feature-list which is compared.
One of the most exciting and interesting aspects of iOS 5 is no doubt the addition of a new way of handling notifications, called Notification Center.
When Apple unveiled the new iPhone 4S, one of the new features they took the time to flaunt was the newly improved camera.
When Apple announced the iPhone 4S a couple of weeks ago, they announced that a select few countries were set to get the new handset as early as the following week. While some were lucky enough to only have a week or so to wait in order to get their hands on the next iPhone, some were left to wait just a little bit longer.
If there were any doubts as to whether the iPhone 4S was going to match the incredible success of the iPhone 4, the various milestones reached by Apple since last Friday's launch have certainly answered the skeptics with aplomb.
Apple has, in years gone by, held various 'Tech Talk World Tours' aimed at giving its developers a more in-depth view on new technologies. iOS 5, the company's latest mobile operating system, will be the next taken on an education spree from Berlin to Beijing, Seoul to Seattle.
