iTunes Radio, which launched alongside iOS 7 late last year, touts itself as a great service for music lovers to explore and discover new artists. However, unlike standard iTunes music tracks, users don't have the freedom of being able to move songs across different devices, for listening to at any time, anywhere. However, thanks to a little app called AirPlay Recorder, users can record the streaming audio for offline enjoyment, and for a one-off price of $9.99, you can create your very own, finely-tuned, all-weathers iTunes Radio.
Our regular readers will remember that just over a week ago we brought a beautiful iOS 8 concept video to your attention. The Mission Control concept was designed to build on the work that has already been implemented in iOS 7 by taking things a little further to mix the Control Center and multitasking facilities together. The implementation of the concept definitely managed to strike a chord with us, and as you know, the jailbreak community never seems to waste any time in snapping up a good idea and making it a reality. It looks like Mission Control has been rebranded as Vertex and will be heading to a Cydia based repository near you in the near future.
The jailbreak scene is awash with great tweaks, but even though we see, on a daily basis, just what can happen when creative minds are given a license to dig deeper into the iOS firmware, there remains a small, exclusive group of Cydia entries that stand head-and-shoulders above the rest. Along with BiteSMS, which only recently made its début for iOS 7, IntelliScreenX is rightly considered by many to be among the very best in the business, and now, developer Intelliborn has begun teasing an iOS 7-ready version for iPhone, which is IntelliScreenX 7. The beta is almost ready for prime time, but for the moment, we have a video and some screenshots to salivate over, which you can check out after the break!
The Touch ID feature of the iPhone 5s has proved hugely successful so far. Sure, the introduction of the gold model of Apple's latest and greatest probably upstaged the new fingerprint sensor, but in offering better security while also adding to the perceived "cool" factor of the iconic handset, Touch ID has certainly gone down well. According to the guys over at AppleInsider, the Cupertino company is set to step up the feature's functionality by means of a forthcoming software update, which will render Touch ID better able to recognize fingerprints whilst also taking care of a "fade" issue that has hit some users.
The official Google Hangouts app for iOS has been around for quite a while, and has received a ton of changes since its very inception. And today sees the app being updated to version 2.0, bringing with it a bunch of new cool features and changes.
iOS has been designed by Apple to be as visually appealing as possible to the widest audience. Granted, not everyone is going to agree with the overall look and feel of a piece of software, but the challenge for a company like Apple is to come up with a visual layout that captures the imagination of as many users as possible. For those who don't agree with that artistic vision, and who are jailbroken, there is always the option to theme the device and change the firmware's appearance. And now there is an option for iOS 7 users to change the color of the displayed keyboard on a jailbroken device, thanks to the ColorY0urBoard tweak.
The maker of the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV has updated its iOS Security document to include intricate, detailed information pertaining to the Touch ID sensor that is found on the iPhone 5s. The launch of the iPhone 5s, along with the ability to authenticate and access the device using biometric detection, brought with it a myriad of questions and concerns from the security conscious. Apple hopes that the updated PDF document will answer a few of those outstanding concerns.
Even in the midst of Mobile World Congress, Apple has managed to end up grabbing headlines after an analyst claimed that the company's iPhone 6 will be available sooner than expected. In fact, according to Mizuho Securities analyst Abhey Lamba, the highly anticipated new iPhone could be on stores as early as July, months before the usual September release timeframe that Apple has used in the past.
There are parts of my childhood that I will always cherish, and Disney animated movies is definitely on the top of the list. The best part about them is the fact that they’re ageless - you still enjoy those titles as much today as you used to earlier.
Cydia is populated with tweaks and extensions that enhance the overall experience of iOS. One of the latest packages to have a stab at improving iOS goes by the name of TouchBar and is a small utility that lets users quickly toggle system settings on and off directly from the status bar of the installed device.
