Jailbreak tweaks and apps provide an easy (and usually safe) way to enhance your experience with an iOS device. There are two types of jailbreak apps: ones that add something on top of an included feature or others that bring all new features that improve user experience in a way never imagined before. The awesome tweak we’ll be talking in this post belongs to the former category. Check it out after the jump.
Weather is much like paying tax. You may not like it, but it's an unavoidable fact of life. As a cynical Briton used to torrential downpours and cold weather, maybe I'm just a little bitter, but nevertheless, like most people I like to keep track of what the elements have in store from one day to the next, even if it's an almost predictable, gloomy foregone conclusion.
Our smartphone devices ensure we're a productive as can be at all times, and although Apple packs a decent array of such apps natively on its iPhone, it's by no means a complete package. The stock offering of any device or ecosystem can always be improved upon with a little digging, and if you're constantly trying to log timings for certain events, Timesquare for iPhone might just be your perfect companion.
We’ve seen plenty of rumors and reports of Apple introducing an iPhone with a physical keyboard over the years. The latest of such rumors came in February last year when a Taiwanese blog claimed that an iPhone 5 (now known as the iPhone 4S) with a slide-out physical keyboard was being tested.
After many years of living in the wilderness, Apple Inc. is now sitting at the top of the technology food chain after becoming the embodiment of everything which the phoenix from the flames metaphor represents. After suffering in silence for numerous years, the insane popularity of the iPhone, iPad and iPod range of mobile devices as well as the resurgence of OS X-powered Macs has seen the Cupertino giants rise to the top of the pecking order.
If you've been longing for the immensely cool and "futuristic" ability to charge your iPhone wirelessly, you may be waiting a while for an official solution from Apple. However, a tinkerer who goes by the name of Tanveer took apart a wireless charging case for the iPhone and installed its components into the iPhone 4S chassis itself. If you have a bit of patience, a lot of soldering skills, sufficient knowledge of the iPhone's internals to disassemble, modify, and reassemble, and you don't fear breaking your iPhone by mistake, then this would be a fun project of you. The entire process is briefly touched on in a three minute video released by Tanveer.
Remember last month's comparison between mobile OSes, where we compared iOS 6 with the existing Android 4.x ICS and Windows Phone 7.5 Mango platforms? Well, in the time that has passed since then, we've since learned some newer official information about iOS 6, along with the upcoming versions of the other two mobile OSes. So now, a new chart has been concocted which compares and contrasts iOS 6 with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and Windows Phone 8.
If it's not the new iPad, it's rife rumor regarding the upcoming next-gen iPhone that's keeping Apple in the news just now. The device, which is thought to be receiving a longer screen, will also be getting a mighty quad-core processor, if a report originating from DigiTimes is to be taken as Gospel.
You don't need to be an expert to know that relations between both Samsung and Apple are at an all-time low. With the blocking of Galaxy Nexus sales in the United States and a collection of other legal battles between the two, it is clear that the two companies both believe that the other has copied ideas in order to make their own smartphones better. Whether you believe that or not is almost as complicated as asking you about religion or politics. Needless to say, we'll leave it there.
If you are the smart and sophisticated kind of person who carries around an iPhone or iPod touch with you, then it is immediately evident that you appreciate the finer side of technology. Regardless of the iOS/Android divide, users of Google's mobile operating system will have to concede that Apple's iOS devices are of premium quality.
