Deus Ex: Human revolution was arguably one of the most eagerly anticipated titles of the current generation, and it arrived to much fanfare including rave reviews from both gamers and the press alike. We loved Deus Ex ourselves, which is why we're suitably giddy to hear that the game’s creators, Square Enix has today announced that it is bringing a new game to the iPhone and iPad - a game based on the Deus Ex franchise.
British Airways, the UK's biggest airline, has just added boarding pass support to Apple's native Passbook app for iOS. Considering Passbook first arrived back in September along with iOS 6, it has been a long time in coming, and you can catch all of the details after the break along with the download link to the app!
The notion of Apple bringing out a low-cost iPhone has always been suggested. With such a popular brand at a sky-high price, perhaps it was always going to be an idea teased by the masses. But this year, there's a really strong consensus that there will indeed be a cheaper model to help corner markets like India and China, as well as allowing those with less disposable cash to still rock an iPhone. Today, images purporting to depict the device have been discovered on Weibo, the 'Chinese Twitter,' and although the bumper case, lack of a snap of the front of the device and a lot of blurriness make for a rather suspect leak, we have to check out all possible avenues in our quest to discover this elusive budget iPhone.
The next-gen iPhone has been a hot topic ever since the release of the iPhone 5, and although Apple is famously good at keeping things under wraps until the 11th hour, many have suggested the next-gen device will come with a fingerprint sensor. Today, designer Frederico Ciccarese shows how this implementation could manifest itself on the next-gen device with a concept which also includes a curved display.
It's generally accepted that iOS powered devices are amongst the most secure devices that are currently available in the consumer mobile market. This isn't to say that Apple has built an impenetrable device that isn't susceptible to any kind of attack, but it has been proven time and time again that hardware running Android and other available operating systems are an easier nut to crack for more malicious minded amongst us.
‘Platinum’ for iPhone allows you to place predicted search queries into the search bar of Mobile Safari without actually going ahead and processing them. It's a feature borrowed from Google's Chrome browser, and means that you can skip unnecessary typing while also only pushing the search through once you've fully entered your subject into the field.
There's undoubtedly some aspects of an iOS device which no other mobile platform comes close to match, but the same can be said for top-end Android handsets like the Galaxy S4. One of the beautiful things about being able to liberate Apple devices through jailbreaking is being able to implement new features that can mimic other operating systems, which is something that shines through in the QuickGestures tweak that is now available on Cydia. More details can be found right after the jump.
Ever imagined what would be the result of combining every display from every iPhone ever sold? Not exactly the latest scoop on the next hardware release to come out of Cupertino, but it's still pretty interesting to know that one single combined iPhone made out of the displays of every iPhone ever sold since the original launch in 2007 would stand over 5,000 feet tall. Sounds epic doesn't it? Read for more!
iOS, as we know, is an inherently restricted operating system, and one instance where this is perhaps most apparent is when using the keyboard. Of course, the predictive text system has been massively improved from those early generations, but with other mobile OSes allowing users to switch keyboard as easily as changing socks, the lack of customization can make using the iOS keyboard a cumbersome experience. For those jailbroken, all is not lost, and if you regularly use special characters and don't like having to jump between different pages to find them, help is at hand thanks to a jailbreak tweak called AltKeyboard.
Having all singing, all dancing smartphones is all well and good, but if all we're going to do with them is send messages, make calls and take photos of our food then we can't help but think they're being somewhat wasted. What happened to the imagined future that saw us living our lives through those phones, replacing other devices and outdated equipment as we go?
