Sony has just débuted a new image sensor for mobile devices that incorporates a "stacked" design, which offers a more compact form factor while still improving dramatically on overall performance. Given that Apple tends to subscribe to this ethos of scaling everything down with each new hardware release, allied to the fact that Sony is a manufacturing partner of the Cupertino's, and it's reasonable to speculate that the next-gen iPhone (and iPad) devices could reap the benefits of the 21-megapixel Exmor RS IMX230.
In order to achieve an iOS jailbreak of any kind, holes in the software must be found and exploited, and for the most part, there's a requirement of several exploits working in tandem. The Pangu8 jailbreak for iOS 8 / 8.1 utilized a multitude of security lapses in allowing us to reach the holy grail of Cydia once more, but while Apple just recently plugged three gaps in iOS 8.1.1 that had made Pangu8 possible, the Chinese hackers behind it have been given their due credits for discovering the flaws.
Battery life. iCloud Drive. Extension ordering. It's all here in the just released iOS 8.1.1. And it's lovely.
Popular instant messaging app - and relatively recent Facebook purchase - WhatsApp has finally received the app update that everyone has been waiting for. That's right, WhatsApp now properly supports the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus' increased screen size.
Apple's introduction of the slo-mo feature with the iPhone 5s has proven itself to be extremely popular amongst users, and not just when filming videos of dogs jumping to catch Frisbees for YouTube. The feature has subsequently made its way into devices like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, again to huge acclaim.
Apple made great strides with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus's speaker volume after years of speakers that either couldn't reach reasonable volumes or simply distorted so much that they were unusable at anything above a whisper. The two latest smartphones out of Cupertino pack quite a punch, and while they could still benefit from front-facing speakers like some other flagship phones, any improvement is worth having.
Having 4G LTE connectivity on a mobile device is great and all, but when its signal begins to weaken, iOS takes it upon itself to switch to 3G. This is perfectly reasonable, of course, since it conserves battery and makes practical sense to run only 3G where LTE coverage is not necessarily firing to its maximum capacity, but if you don't want to be mollycoddled by Apple in this regard, then there's no actual way to halt the auto-switch to 3G. As with so many limitations within the iOS software, though, there's a remedial tweak out to resolve the issue, and a new entry over at the BigBoss repository will lock your cellular data signal to 4G LTE even when it begins to fade out.
There is a lot of talk right now about Apple's decision not to throw multiple gigabytes of memory at the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, especially in light of how makers of Android smartphones tend to offer memory upwards of 2GB. Why, when some Android phones have up to three times as much memory, does the iPhone perform so well?
If you're an iOS enthusiast keen on getting the best app deals out there for your iPhone and iPad, then today is your lucky day, as we’ve come across some great titles amidst this 'cold November rain'. Freebies in the iTunes App Store are still flowing in as they were before, and there’s nothing like a few paid apps going free to keep you busy in the coming holiday season.
In the middle of all the jailbreak related madness are the developers with new ideas looking to penetrate Cydia by offering something simple and appealing to users. One such package, RecentFacebook, comes from developer Alexandru Laurus, and offers something appealing yet unbelievably simple.
