It's been a while since we had a good Apple patent that got our juices flowing, but this latest one somehow manages to get us excited and rather dismayed both at the same time. The patent in question is called 'Projected display shared workspaces' and while the name may be particularly uninteresting, the technology it promises is actually far more interesting than it sounds. See, it would appear that Apple is working on the idea of incorporating a projector right into its range of devices, specifically those running iOS. Interested in knowing more? You might want to head past the jump.
Every once in a while a new app pops up in the App Store that piques our interest, which is no mean feat considering the number of apps we see. The latest app to get our juices flowing is xRec, and at less than two dollars we're going to go ahead and recommend everyone gets it downloaded now - before Apple pulls it.
Not a day goes by right now where we don't receive a new concept video or image into our inboxes, and most of the time that concept revolves around the iPhone. Be it the rumored iPhone 5S, or the budget and so-called iPhone Lite, concept videos in particular are cropping up more and more often. Throw in those showing what people think next year's iPhone 6 may look like, and that's quite a few concept videos hitting our inbox on a weekly basis.
If you've ever held off buying an iPhone because it was just too darned expensive, then it's looking increasingly likely that you'll be good to go some time later this year. Rumors of a new, budget iPhone have been doing the rounds for a good while now, and even the most skeptical amongst us has to surely admit that a cheaper iPhone is more of an inevitability than a possibility at this point.
Changing how iOS handles notifications is one of the biggest reasons to jailbreak, at least in the pre-iOS 7 beta days. There are countless tweaks in Cydia for doing just that, and as many again that change the way the iOS lock screen looks and functions. It's arguable that the lock screen is the area of our iPhones that we see the most, so having it work just the way you like it can be of high importance to many - that's probably why there are so many tweaks, really.
It has long since been rumored that the next-gen iPhone may include a fingerprint sensor on the Home button, but a new Apple patent published today suggests it could in fact be integrated into the device's display. Every new iPhone must have its marquee feature, and with the fingerprint sensor set to take this weight upon its shoulders this time around, it would seem Apple has been hard at work preparing the implementation for prime time.
As a long-time user of the iOS operating system through a number of devices, I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with the autocorrect feature, which can often decontextualize or otherwise make nonsense of my hurriedly typed messages. It can be of immense annoyance at times, but hey, it’s there to help us type in an efficient manner, so we begrudgingly persevere. However, while the system also tries to learn certain utterances we tap in on a regular basis, there appears to be a list of controversial, edgy, or potentially inflammatory phrases and words that autocorrect simply won’t autocorrect.
As a continuing sign that Google means business when it comes to getting the best experience for its products onto iOS, the search giant and social network has today offered up a sizeable update to one of its most popular apps for the iPhone and iPad; Google Chrome.
Apple may be keeping quiet on what it has planned for the next iPhone, and indeed when that next iPhone will be made available to us mere mortals, but that isn't stopping anyone and everyone claiming to have the inside scoop. The latest line out of Taiwan comes courtesy of the Commercial Times, who are suggesting that Apple's next iPhone - the iPhone 5S, they call it as opposed to iPhone 6 - will not be going into production until later this year. The delay, the publication claims, is being caused by Apple's late decision to jump from the expected 4-inch display to a new, larger 4.3-inch part.
It was just a few days back when Google Maps 7.0 APK for Android was released, and the same day, the Big G also promised that the iPad version of their famed Maps offering was on its way. Having stayed true to their word, version 2.0 of Google Maps for iOS has been released. We have all the details and the download link right after the jump.
