With Apple having brought Control Center - a toggle system à la SBSettings - as well as the Notification Center to the lock screen with iOS 7 beta, many have indicated that they will perhaps not be jailbreaking when the forthcoming version of Apple's iconic mobile OS hits the end user this fall. Apple has worked hard to bring in quite a few features that jailbreak fans have long since craved for, but despite this, the closed nature of iOS will mean the jailbreak system continues to thrive, and one designer has come up with a screenshot of what Cydia may look like if it ever did grace iOS 7. It’s awesome, and we want you to definitely check it out!
Since the launch of iOS 7 beta 1 last Monday following its announcement at WWDC, it's fair to say that not everybody has been won over. The Cupertino's decision to make some, quite frankly, dramatic changes has left even long-time iOS users bemused, and one in particular, jailbreak legend Pod2g, has taken to Twitter to voice his displeasure.
One of the angles of iOS 7 that seems to be forgotten amongst all the noise about icons and translucency is the renewed focus on Game Center and official support for third party game controller under ‘Made for iPhone’ branding. After what felt like a half-hearted attempt in the recent past, Apple now appears to be on the verge of embracing the huge number of games in the App Store.
Designer Antonio De Rosa regularly churns out some fantastic concepts pertaining to numerous Apple products. Adding to his growing list of great designs comes an all-new iPhone 6 mockup, which looks simply stunning with its large, edge-to-edge display and touch-based home button, and it runs Apple’s iOS 7 beta. Check it out after the break, you’ll definitely love it!
iOS 7 beta has spent the past five days firmly in the public eye, and although opinion is divided as to whether the changes are for better or in fact for worse, the consensus seems to be that the icons are a tad on the bright side. However, it now looks as though the Cupertino company has been tweaking things behind the scenes, with the official iOS 7 beta page on Apple.com showing altered, altogether more subtly toned icons. Details after the break.
After numerous rumors and intense speculation, Microsoft's fantastic and extremely popular Office package has managed to find its way onto the iPhone. The package, which landed on Apple's App Store today, is a mobile optimized companion app that has been built from the ground up to provide access to the loved Office suite of applications directly from an iPhone. This is a fairly notable release by the Redmond company and has been expected for some time, but for some reason has managed to come with minimal fuss and a distinct lack of celebration.
The iOS 7 beta has only been out for two days, and already, the first major bug has been revealed. Jose Rodriguez, a 36 year old iPhone owner from Tenerife, has found a rather easy way to bypass the lock screen on iOS 7 beta 1 and meddle with the photos. Although bugs are expected in such an early and apparently unstable release, this revelation will no doubt send a chill down the spine of those in Cupertino, to whom this kind of issue is all too familiar.
Apple has stuck resolutely by its long standing philosophy with its iPhone range hitherto, and the iPhone 5's slightly increased display size is about as radical as it has been thus far. But according to multiple sources of Reuters, the Cupertino company is exploring the possibility pushing display diameters up to 4.7 inches, with suggestions that an iPhone with a 5.7 inch screen is also part of the thought process. Should Apple decide to press on with the project, said devices would manifest themselves at some point next year, and with the same report also hinting at multiple color configurations and $99 starting price points for future iPhones, is Apple about to break away from old habits?
The official Man of Steel game has just arrived for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices, and as any big fans of the superhero flick will vouch, this is quite a big deal. There have been several apps and games already released for both Android and iOS in anticipation for the movie, which hits cinemas worldwide today, but nothing beats the official game. Details and download link can be found right after the break!
If you cast your minds back, you may remember Apple adding a little feature to iTunes 11 allowing you to scan your iTunes cards using the camera on the front of your Mac’s camera. Now, the exact same feature is coming to iOS 7, and although it's not new in a sense that barcode and QR reading apps have been around for a good while now, the fact that it's baked into the operating system means that developers can also make use of it, should they wish to.
