Instagram may now be owned by Facebook, but the purchase hasn't stopped the team behind the famed photo-sharing app from developing a series of spin-off utilities. As well as the recent release of the Snapchat-like Bolt, which launched late last month across a few select markets, the Instagram development team has now come through with Hyperlapse, a time-lapse app designed specifically for those in ownership of the Apple iPhone and iPad. Check out the screenshots, details and download link after the break.
The Apple iPhone 6 looks set to be announced on September 9th, and as this as-yet unconfirmed event draws ever closer, the leaks are continuing to pour in. Today, we've what is claimed to be a legitimate sighting of the iPhone 6's insert, but unfortunately, it instead appears to be a fake. Decide for yourself by checking out the shot below.
Theft of personal, digital devices is fairly rampant, but thanks to the introduction of kill-switches, those snatching the gadgets of others are now often left with a bricked product that cannot be used or sold at will. It's not much consolation to the victim, but it has made a noticeable difference to smartphone theft in that the numbers have dropped off significantly. Now, a new law has been passed in California that means by 2015, any handset sold in the state will need to be kitted up with its very own kill-switch, and although most top-end devices now ship with such measures right out of the box, this new move will ensure that all new smartphones include something similar.
Google has authored a whole range of great apps across a number of platforms, and today, has rolled out a brand-new one for iOS by the name of 'Slides'. Essentially a presentation app, it's very much a PowerPoint incarnate, and as well as the roll-out of Google Slides, the Mountain View outfit has also updated Docs and Sheets - the company's answer to Word and Excel.
The wearable tech market is currently amid something of a boom. From smartwatches to head-mounted gizmos like Oculus, Google Glass and Samsung's purported Gear VR headset, many major companies are looking for a slice of the pie. But as Nike has demonstrated countless times with the likes of the FuelBand, you don't have to be in the field of technology to dabble, and in a move that would seem rather unlikely, the iconic Ralph Lauren brand now has its first smart t-shirt.
Dong Nguyen, of Flappy Bird fame, returned to prominence last week with the release of Swing Copters, and having infuriated mobile users far and wide the first time around, the follow-up is even more challenging on whole new level. So much so, in fact, that the lone developer has released a swift update of iOS and Android which, thankfully, makes it a bit less cumbersome to play. More details and download link can be found right after the jump.
Yes, the iPhone 6's rumored announcement is only a couple of weeks away right now, and we've seen more leaks for this iPhone than most, but that doesn't mean that we know exactly what is on the cards for when Apple takes the covers off the next iPhone.
We’d like to think that most people who use Google’s services are fully aware that the technology giant is monitoring their every move. Literally. But it’s clear that the great unwashed masses have no idea that their Android phones are tracking their location as they go about their business and, if you have Google Now installed on an iPhone, that’s probably doing the same too.
We’ve come across plenty of leaks in the past few days related to a brand new Lightning cable from Apple with a reversible USB connector, which is bound to ship with the new iPhone 6. But, if today’s new leak is to be believed, then a new Lightning cable won’t be the only thing that would ship with the Cupertino’s new smartphone.
The concept of personal assistants has been around for a long, long time, and they indeed make one’s job a lot easier by sharing a hefty amount of your workload, maintaining schedules, prioritizing stuff, keeping track of projects and whatnot. With advancements in technology, a lot of that responsibility has shifted to our smartphones, further supported by the fact that not everyone can afford (or is entitled to) a personal assistant. Apple took the concept to the virtual world with its implementation of Siri, followed closely by Google Now and now, Microsoft’s Cortana for Windows Phone, with the latter being the highlight these days.
