Although Cydia is packed full of great tweaks and packages, developers are still managing to find ways to innovate and produce tweaks which offer small but extremely useful functionality to jailbroken iOS users. With so many areas of iOS already having been amended and certain functionality already introduced through existing packages, the window for change is becoming smaller. But the Turn 2 Hangup package is bringing a very handy and useful little feature set to jailbroken iPhone users.
The next-generation iPhone, which the tech world has presumptuously dubbed the "iPhone 5" is purported to be releasing in the next couple of months, and although there has been plenty of speculation with regards to new features, one that has always seemed a certainty is the implementation of 4G LTE.
Apple has been dealing Samsung a barrage of complaints in its court case against Samsung, claiming the South Korean company has infringed on many of its iPhone and iPad design patents in creating the Galaxy series. As well as the talk of hardware, Apple has, to a lesser degree, had a question or two to ask of various UI elements, but to head off its defense, Samsung has countered by claiming Apple has infringed on a number of its own software-based patents.
The London 2012 Olympics have officially been brought to an end, and after fifteen days of non-stop games and athletes from all over the world competing against each other in various sports, we all have our own favorite memory from the games. Even though the Olympics contain a wide range of sports - historically speaking - it is always the short athletic events that manage to raise the pulses of those who are sitting in the stadium or watching the event from the outside on the television. Over the years, we have seen some phenomenal athletes competing in the 100 and 200m sprints including Linford Christie, Maurice Greene, Donovan Bailey, Tyson Gay and the current fastest man on the planet Usain Bolt.
With every day passing by, we get a step closer to next-generation iPhone. With so much attention being lavished on the new iPhone over the last few months, interest in the device seems to be at unprecedented levels with consumers and technology enthusiasts all over the globe waiting with bated breath to see what Apple will bring to the table with their latest creation. The various leaked photographs that have surfaced have given us a pretty decent insight into what to expect aesthetically, but the internal specifications remain largely a mystery, with only a few educated guesses being made about what we should be expecting. With that said, we shouldn't be entirely focusing our attention on new hardware when we still have current-generation devices in circulation.
We all know how huge the gaming industry has become over the last few years with gaming giants like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo managing to command most of the hardware attention with their next-generation consoles such as the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo's Wii. Getting involved and playing video games is sometimes way more than a hobby to some people, and with the advancements in technology, gaming titles are becoming more and more synonymous with real life.
The iPhone has been around since 2007 and is about to be presented to the world in its sixth-generation form in the next month or so. In five years that has followed the iPhone’s introduction to the world, there has been a huge rise in mobile devices and their everyday use in our day-to-day lives, with a number of important points being raised about mobile technology along the way. As you would imagine, one of those important points that gets raised time and time again is just how secure mobile devices and their respective operating systems are.
As much as we are all looking forward to seeing what Apple has produced with the aesthetics of the next-generation iPhone, as well as finding out exactly what they have in store for us regarding device technical specifications, the already-committed amongst us are just waiting to find out when we can get our hands on the new piece of kit. As an iPhone owner from day one, my mind is already made up about the sixth-generation iteration and I will most certainly be adding it to my growing collection of Apple hardware. The only question remaining is; when?
Prior to the release of any new device, the current batch always get its prices slashed so as to shift as many as possible as a kind of last hurrah, and it appears the iPhone 4S is entering its twilight phase. The iPhone 4, which has been around for over two years now, has seen price cuts here and there for a while, but the current flagship device, which released back in October of last year, has remained pretty much the same price hitherto.
As we move closer to the middle of August, and approximately four weeks away from the date that is said to hold the Apple media event which will introduce the world to the next-generation iPhone, we still haven't had any official word from the Cupertino giants that the event is taking place. Regardless of the lack of public interaction over the event, we stand firm in our belief that September 12th will be the day when we find out the official specifications and visuals of the new iPhone, with possible public availability being around September 21st.
