Here are a few workarounds to fix iMessage not working issue in Apple’s iOS 7 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Emoji emoticons can, so long as they're not used to excess, be an enhancing feature of a text-based conversation, and although Android's open-source nature means it's rather easy to add third-party emoji packs at the drop of a hat, things aren't so straightforward on iOS. Luckily, as with previous iterations, there's a hidden emoji feature within iOS 7, and while most obscured treasures tend to require a jailbreak before they can be used by the masses, this one takes seconds to uncover on a stock device.
Today's modern smartphones wear so many hats that it's often hard to truly compare them against each other. While it's true that at their core they are all indeed mobile phones, some are more like point and shoot cameras with built-in smartphone capabilities and others are powerhouse computers with a camera attached. When you're making your buying decision, many things have to be taken into account, but it's a fact of smartphone life that we are all taking photos on a daily basis, especially if you happen to be hooked on Instagram-ing everything you go near.
The iPhone 5s was yet another launch in the company's history that almost immediately became unavailable, with consumers seeing October as the next available shipping date. This year's introduction of offering iPhone 5s at a local Apple Retail Store pickup proved extremely popular with iPhone fans but stock levels - or the lack thereof - meant that the new option was almost instantly removed from Apple's site. It now seems that some consumers are reporting that the local pickup option is now available again through the official Apple Online Store.
The iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c are still hot off Apple's manufacture line, and we've already done a lot of coverage here on Redmond Pie on both of them. I need a little more time to consolidate my opinion regarding the iPhone 5s, but as the iPhone 5c mainly consists of the iPhone 5 components, I felt ready to bring you my full video review. You may also have missed some of our other coverage regarding each of the two handsets, so you'll be able to find all of it within this post.
Everyone loves a good speed test video, and whenever a new flagship smartphone is released, YouTube is flooded with new videos showing how the latest and greatest device compares with the one that it just replaced. What we don't usually get to see though is a video showing the new hotness compared with every device that came before it.
One of Apple's biggest selling points for the iPhone 5s, or at least the one that is easiest to demo in-store, is the addition of the Touch ID system. Hidden below the Home button, Touch ID allows iPhone owners to unlock their device securely, without having to enter a passcode. Instead, the clever technology reads the fingerprint of the person pressing the Home button, and if it matches what it's looking for, then the phone unlocks. Magic.
Here's our full video comparison of Apple iPhone 5S vs Samsung Galaxy S4. It seems fit to put iPhone 5s and Galaxy S4 through a rigorous comparison to see which one actually comes out on top.
After what has seemed like a good couple of years of waiting by the sidelines and hoping consumers would buy into its Windows Phone ecosystem, Microsoft appears to be taking a much more proactive role in helping draft in new users. Having recently launched an iPad trade-in promotion offering two hundred bucks for your old iPad, the Redmond outfit has decided to run something similar for those wielding an iPhone. By heading over to your local Microsoft Store, the company will give you $200 credit towards a new device if you decide to get rid of your old iPhone 4s or 5, and with quite a few new entries to the Windows Phone range during the past few months, it could be an attractive proposition to a potential upgrader.
With iOS 7.0.2 just released, many of our jailbreak users have been in contact asking whether updating the device would hinder any chances of a future jailbreak.
