Apple's first smartwatch, the Apple Watch, which was announced alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus back last month, has been the subject of rave reviews by most of those who've encountered it, and it seems that both techies and watch aficionados have fallen for the charms of the device's design, software, and general feature set. The UI, in particular, has garnered a fair bit of praise so far, and although we'll personally reserve judgment until we've had a chance to use it in "early 2015," one designer has already dreamt up an interesting concept that imagines the wearable's circular interface on the iPhone.
Despite its purchase of image-sharing app Instagram a couple of years ago, Facebook remains dedicated to the task of encouraging users to upload their snaps onto the world's foremost social network, and as per an official blog post, the company is now adding a couple of useful new features for this very purpose. Notably, the update is dedicated to making it easier and quicker to upload multiple photos on mobile, and with users also able to select the order of the album in swift fashion, should prove a very useful enhancement for rampant photo sharers on both iOS and Android.
Alpine has finally launched an aftermarket in-dash receiver for cars that supports Apple's CarPlay for iPhone users. It was Pioneer that first offered an aftermarket receiver that was able to support CarPlay in any car. The Alpine iLX-007 is the company's first such venture, and we take a look at what it has to offer.
Looks like Apple may be looking beyond Apple Pay for its iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices. The NFC chip in the two devices open up quite a few possibilities where Apple is reportedly in talks for partnerships, in a bid to expand the chip’s utility, thereby expanding the phone's utility in everyday life.
Carriers in South Korea have put Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-order estimates at 100,000 and above, which is almost three times more than the pre-orders collected for Samsung's Galaxy Note 4. With this happening on Samsung's own turf, is Apple all set to increase its smartphone market share?
To say the smartwatch market is amid something of a boom would be a great understatement. But while Apple Watch and Google's Android Wear are both looking to take a considerable chunk of this new wearable category, it's worth considering the strong fitness-related features that vendors are packing into these gadgets. Fitbit is a company that has been churning out fitness-tracking apps for a while now, but with the big companies likely to crowd the smaller names out, is in something of a battle to remain relevant. As such, Fitbit has introduced two new devices today; one fitness tracker, and further device resembling a smartwatch.
Now that there is an iOS 8 jailbreak out for iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and other devices, it's a case of sitting back and waiting for all of your favorite tweaks to be updated to take advantage of what the new mobile operating system has to offer. In the worst cases those tweaks might even need updates to make them work at all.
Console quality games on mobile devices has long been the holy grail for game developers, but making those games as good as is humanly possible on smartphones and tablets takes that challenge one step further. Rockstar Games is already pretty damned good at turning its AAA titles into mobile wonders, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is no exception.
Here's a complete and detailed visual comparison of Apple iOS 8 versus Google Android 5.0 Lollipop. Check out the screenshots after the jump.
The Pangu8 jailbreak for iOS 8 / 8.1 came as a big surprise for the jailbreak community, but with a lot of complexities as well. One of those complexities was missing Cydia after jailbreaking our devices. Even though Saurik updated Cydia to work with iOS 8 / 8.1, the installation method was completely manual, and still remains so at least as of this writing.
