The App Store may already be choc-full of top games that are designed for the large touch screens that adorn iPads and iPhones, but that doesn't stop some of us from yearning for the games of yesteryear. If you're carrying a jailbroken iOS device then there is no shortage of ways to get your nostalgic fix, but it's not always quite so simple if you're not.
A number of new photos have recently emerged that claim to show some important information pertaining to the production and development of Apple's next-generation iPhone. The collection of photos have risen to prominence thanks to Chinese social networking site Weibo, claiming to show a number of in-depth schematics for the iPhone 6 as well as the production molds that are used to manufacture the exterior of the smartphone.
Before the iPhone made its grand entry into our lives, mobile gaming was mainly done on standalone, dedicated devices like Sony's PlayStation Portable, or PSP. Even though the App Store, along with Google Play and the Windows Phone Store now offer graphically-intensive that at times, exceed what the PSP is capable of, it's still fun to dust the old consoles down now and again for a bit of nostalgia-induced fun. Thanks to a feature-rich PSP emulator, though, you can now relive those much-loved PSP games on your iOS device, and below, you'll see exactly how it's done.
You mightn't even know of Activator's existence, but the chances are - if you're jailbroken and running a series of tweaks - that you have the famed tweak installed on your iOS device. It enables certain actions and events to be triggered by gestures or button presses, and as a long-time jailbreaker myself, it's certainly the cornerstone of my Cydia diet. Today its inventor, Ryan Petrich, has offered a glimpse of an updated version, which offers some neat battery-triggered functions.
At the tail-end of last year, we presented a guide that showed jailbroken iOS 7 users how to utilize the Cydia Store for the purpose of speeding up their devices. But if you don't, for whatever reason, happen to have introduced your device to the wonders of Evasi0n, we've outlined a few tips that could help you speed up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running stock firmware, specifically for hardware that is old, like the iPhone 4, 4s, etc.
I always find it amusing that, even though evidence pertaining to a forthcoming smartphone may change from report to report, the case makers always feel as though they've got the scoop. It hasn't even been established whether or not Apple has pinned down a final design for the so-called "iPhone 6," yet a snap of a case has just leaked into the wild, although naturally, we're more than skeptical as to whether it actually tells us anything.
If iOS is your gaming platform of choice and old school desktop classics are your thing, then it looks like Atari has come good once again for you. The famous publishing company has filled a lot of gamers' hearts with joy with ports of classics like Breakout and Centipede to the small screen. The Atari Greatest Hits app also managed to bring back feelings of excitement and nostalgia when it landed many moons ago. Not content with previous releases, Atari has done it again by bringing RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 to the App Store for iPhone and iPad devices.
It's fair to say that majority of the users jailbreak their iOS device with the intention of installing one or two essential packages to improve the overall experience which Apple provides out of the box. For those individuals, Cydia is thought of purely as a third-party app store and interacted with as such. However, there are also a number of power users who are passionate about jailbreaking and occasionally want to peek inside the executable files that make up the tweaks that they're installing. If you happen to be one of those, and want to gain access to a .DEB file through your device then carry on reading.
The tech community seemingly cannot get enough of the so-called 'iPhone 6' just now, even on the eve of the Samsung Galaxy S5's long-awaited release. The Apple handset is not touted for release until the fall, but the notion of the device packing a notably larger display seems to grow stronger with each new report. Following on from a recent influx of schematics leaks and other info relating to the iPhone 6's form factor, a new mock-up of an iPhone case seems to indicate that the display will indeed increase in diameter, while also backing up a few other iPhone 6-related murmurings, including thinner design.
Reports pertaining to the iPhone 6 seem to change course on an almost daily basis, but there underlying theme is that Apple's next smartphone will be significantly larger than anything the Cupertino firm has released hitherto. Following on from a report by ISI analyst Brian Marshall that a bigger iPhone would prompt a spike in upgrades as well as the number of consumers switching from Android, a new report published on Thursday has somewhat echoed these sentiments.
