This Third-Party Emoji Keyboard For iOS 8 Makes Apple’s Offering Look Outdated

Uzair Ghani·October 3, 2014

Posting an update to any social network - or sending out a plain old IM - without an emoji is considered a minor sin these days. And while iOS does feature a brilliant built-in emoji keyboard to get things done, but Apple’s implementation does lack a few things which this new third-party iOS 8 keyboard swiftly fulfills.

iPhone 6 Vs Galaxy S5 Vs HTC One M8 – The Ultimate Flagship Speed Test [Video]

Ben Reid·October 3, 2014

Apple's iPhone 6 may have enjoyed a blistering start during its first few weeks on sale, but it still faces stiff competition from other high-end handsets available across the industry, and if you're still on the fence with regards to which device best suits you, then you've probably been reading a lot of specs sheets. But while a big, beefy processor should keep things running smoothly and with great fluidity, the real-world speed can only be determined by using a device to perform a multitude of day-to-day tasks, and in the most comprehensive speed comparison to date, we get to see how the iPhone 6 stands up against both the HTC One M8 and Samsung's flagship Galaxy S5.

How To Add Facebook, Twitter Share Widget In iOS 8 Notification Center

Ben Reid·October 3, 2014

iOS 5 and iOS 6 introduced some social integration features which, among other things, allowed users to quickly post tweets and Facebook status updates right from the Notification Center using a simple tap. It was a convenient, effective way for users to get their 2 cents in without too much hassle, but with iOS 8, it's not longer a feature. But with Apple having given third-party developers a license to develop third-party Notification Center widgets - something only previously available via jailbreak - the NC can now be filled up with useful shortcuts and functions, and one dev has naturally seized the opportunity to re-introduced those sorely-missed functions.

iPhone 6 And iPhone 6 Plus Exceeds 2 Million Reservations In China In Just 6 Hours

Ben Reid·October 2, 2014

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus may have launched across some 30 markets over the past couple of weeks, but the grand roll-out of Apple's latest smartphone is far from complete. The company has, over the past few years, increased retail and promotional efforts in China, with the nation's three major carriers all now supported and able to offer top-level cellular speeds, and although the October 17th retail date for Chinese iPhone 6 fans amounts to a delay of one month compared with the UK, US and several others, fans of the handset remain undeterred. Apple and its carrier partners won't be taking pre-orders for at least a week, but with reservations having begun across various outlets, some 2 million devices have already been secured in just six hours.

Apple’s Activation Lock Status Tool Lets You Check If An iPhone Is Stolen Or Not

Paul Morris·October 2, 2014

Apple has added a section to the existing iCloud.com domain that will allow users to easily check and determine whether or not an iOS device is currently protected via the Find my iPhone Activation Lock initiative, or in other words, whether the device being sold is stolen or not. The new section is a simple Web page that allows anyone with the IMEI or serial number of an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to check the Activation Lock status of that individual device in an effort to protect themselves against purchasing a piece of hardware that cannot be used without the original owner’s iCloud credentials.

iOS 8.1 Gets A Release Date, Will Feature Apple Pay

Ben Reid·October 2, 2014

Although iOS 8 was first showcased at this year's WWDC developer gathering back in June, it wasn't until September's iPhone 6 event that we first caught a glimpse of the new integrated, contactless payment system dubbed Apple Pay. The Cupertino company's new infrastructure would not, we were told, be a part of iOS 8.0 on day one, but would follow in a subsequent October software update. According to a new report, the Mac maker is right on schedule to roll Apple Pay out with iOS 8.1, with the same source also offering a firm date on the release.

The Ultimate iPhone 6 Plus Bend Test [Video]

Ben Reid·October 2, 2014

Apple's early iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sales figures suggest that everything in the Cupertino's walled garden is rosy, and having shifted ten million units in the first weekend alone, the launch in China later on this month is only going to add to the impressive start that the handsets have made. But there have been some issues, notably "Bendgate", which spawned from some much-publicized complaints that the larger of the two new devices was unduly susceptible to bending when placed in a user's pocket. Apple has since dispelled the rumor, suggesting that it had received only 9 Bendgate-related quibbles from customers the last we heard, and one particular owner has sought to pay heed to Bendgate once and for all in a rather entertaining video.

As mobile users, most of us follow the standard precautions in the ongoing fight against malicious software, but as the defenses become more adept to dealing with such intrusions, attackers also dream up more advanced, cunning ways of sneaking into our devices and extracting data. A new type of spyware, which appears to have originated from Hong Kong, is said to affect iOS users who've opted to jailbreak their devices, and according to experts on the matter, may also be connected to a similar piece of unwanted software lurking on Google's Android.
