New iPhone 6 concepts are a daily occurrence just now, and even though we think we know that Apple will be going bigger with its next flagship, pinning down a specific design or form factor is proving difficult. As Apple continues to keep its plans under wraps, this gives designers and fans a license to dream, and Sahanan Yogarasa, maker of today's concept, has done exactly that.
Even though our smartphones are getting 'smarter' with each and every new release, we, as users, still have to some thinking for ourselves. But even though it's largely down to us to keep tabs on things like battery and data use, there are still plenty of apps out there that can help, and one of the better ones for iOS has just gone free for a limited time.
BlackBerry has just released a rather substantial update to the iOS and Android versions of its famed BBM app, bringing stickers, group photo sharing, and other such niceties. A full run-down of the enhancements, as well as the all-important download link to both the iOS and Android editions of BBM 2.1, can be seen below.
There's been plenty of conjecture and speculation surrounding Apple's next-generation iPhone over the last few months. We're fast approaching this year's Worldwide Developer Conference, a date which inevitably brings with it intensified scrutiny of the company's future product roadmap as well as a renewed sense of hope that the company will fall back to its traditional June iPhone announcement dates. It looks highly unlikely that we will get an official introduction to the iPhone 6 during WWDC, but if the latest reports are to be believed then we could be set to welcome in a new device with a 4.7-inch screen.
Renowned developer Winocm recently gave users hope that he would allow others to bear the fruits of his work on iOS dual and triple-booting. Today, he has released a tool-set enabling interested parties to try their hand at booting different firmware versions on the same device, although judging by the accompanying release notes, these utilities are probably reserved for those with at least some knowledge in hacking.
A neat new thermometer, which plugs directly into a mobile device's headphone jack, can provide immediate and accurate readings of the temperature in your specific location - a marked improvement upon the GPS-based estimates that most of us are accustomed to. The Thermodo, brainchild of Robocat (of Haze fame), is compatible with both iOS and Android, and although certain handsets are already equipped with such facilities as standard, this compact package is both reasonably-priced and practical for those that aren't.
It's not something we've ever done ourselves, but we've got a sneak suspicion that it's happened to more people than are willing to let on. We are, of course, talking about people walking into things while they're sending text or instant messages. Granted, we've done it when inebriated, but never when trying to use our phones!
Even though the iPhone 6 isn't expected to arrive until September time, there's been a notable spike in the frequency of new details relating to the Cupertino's next big thing. From what we've heard, 'big' is the operative word here, with a 4.7-inch model apparently allied to a larger configuration packing a 5.5-inch display, and thanks to a leaked image via Chinese social network Weibo, we may have our first legitimate look at the device's rear shell.
Everyone is an expert these days. With smartphones getting better and better cameras, there really is no good reason for anyone to take a bad photo on an iPhone, Galaxy S or HTC One device anymore. The same goes for video.
You may remember that not too long ago now we told you about Winocm and how he had managed to dual boot his iPad 2 with iOS 6 and iOS 5. In fact, he was so sure that people probably wouldn't believe that he'd done it, he released a video on YouTube showcasing the feat. He even went so far as to release a further video showing that the same iPad 2 could also be forced to triple boot, with iOS 7 thrown into the mix. We're not really sure that the word 'impressive' does any of that justice.
