Having a smartphone who's battery won't last a day is the kind of thing that drives most of us mad. If you're carrying around a large Android phone that's got a battery larger than most notebooks inside it, then you're probably fine but if you're using an iPhone, we're willing to bet that you're charging that bad boy at least once a day. Sometimes twice.
Phones and tablets now routinely come with built-in gyroscopes, and our watches are well on their way to becoming sensor laden as well, so it's worth knowing what all these little sensors are capable of. That gyroscope for instance, did you know that it could also be used to steal credit card numbers?
Apple's iPhone 6 is set to be announced early on next month, and although we've seen much of the 4.7-inch model, the supposedly delayed, 5.5-inch variant has continued to elude us. While not offering any direct evidence of the larger edition, a new leak does offer some clues as to how the larger form factor of the iPhone 6 will still be comfortable to use with one hand.
With the iPhone 6 launch just around the corner, leaks have definitely sped up, and we’ve had plenty of evidence for that during the last couple of months. A number of alleged parts for the upcoming iPhone models have surfaced around the Web, most of them falling in line with earlier reports regarding the iPhone 6 and iPhone Air (if that’s what they end up being called). Today, however, we have another leak that supposedly shows the new iPhone’s Lightning cable, with the highlight being a reversible USB connector.
As ever, we're back with another list of five great apps for your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Not only are they worth downloading at their usual price, but for a very limited time, they're absolutely free, so pop on your downloading hat, fire up the App Store app, and join us after the break!
Amid the abundance of iPhone 6-related coverage, we've been unable to dispel the on-off rumor that the device's display will be laden in the tougher, albeit more expensive sapphire glass material. Not only would it be more robust, but also clearer, and with better scratch resistance than the current Gorilla Glass formula, would render the device much more rugged overall.
Samsung's long tradition of using Apple's own advertising campaigns against it shows no sign of abating with the recently introduced 'Wall Hugger' line of TV ads, but now the Korean firm has gone a step further by moving its campaign to a new battleground - the airport power outlet.
As popular as Instagram has been since its arrival and despite its buyout by Facebook, the app and service's biggest feature is also its biggest limitation. Offering a way for people to post square, relatively low resolution photos, Instagram is never going to be home to large, high quality photographs.
Further to our tutorial earlier this week, which outlined the steps on how you could continue sending Facebook messages on mobile without having to download the specific app created by the social company for this very purpose, a few of you got back to us via the comments and tips with another method for those on iOS and Android. Below, once again, you can learn how to send Facebook messages using nothing but the official app, and unlike the previous solution, no jailbreak is required on iOS.
Every day, we bring you the very best App Store deals, helping you to stock up on great iPhone, iPad and iPod touch apps without the small matter of cost. Sure, Apple's iOS hub is packed to the rafters with free content, but it's often 'lite' versions of the main thing, pending purchase for the full-on experience. The list of five apps you'll find below are usually paid, and with this small selection racking up a usual cost of around $40, there are some major savings to be had here.
