Zayed Rehman·November 27, 2014

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are packed with an array of different sensors; some of which we take for granted cause hey, you paid over $600 for this beauty. But given the range of sensors they carry, both the devices offer possibilities to developers that maybe, just maybe Apple didn't realize either. Ivo Leko has just posted a video on YouTube which capitalizes on the iPhone's magnetometer, accelerometer and microphone to demonstrate how programs can be written to track a magnet’s position straight from your iPhone.

Bing And Yahoo Vying For iOS Mobile Safari’s Default Search Provider Spot

Aatif·November 26, 2014

Google and Apple's partnership has been a shaky one at best, especially when it comes to iOS devices. Earlier on, Apple dropped Google Maps integration from iOS as the default maps and navigation app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch in favor of its own Maps app, and YouTube was pulled from the list of stock apps as well, forcing Google to make both of these apps user-downloadable ones from the App Store. Now, it seems, that the default search provider for iOS Safari browser is up for grabs as well, as Google's contract is close to termination, and sources say that Bing and Yahoo! are both vying for the top spot.

Ben Reid·November 26, 2014

Apple Watch may remain a few months away, with speculation suggesting that the wearable mightn't manifest itself until April at the earliest, but the fascination with the device doesn't seem to be dying out. Since being announced in September alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, horophiles and techies alike have heaped praise on the design as well as the user-interface, and the circular, fluid home screen icon layout looks a master stroke as Apple seeks to offer interactive experiences on the smaller display. Having seen a bunch of tweaks seek to bring this look and feel to the current fleet of iOS devices - such as Aeternum and WatchSpring - a long-serving member of the jailbreak scene has just come through with the most complete tweak yet, and if you're looking to replicate the Apple Watch UI on your iPhone, look no further.

Popular Touch ID Tweak VirtualHome 8 Released For iOS 8, Supports iPhone 6 / 6 Plus

Ben Reid·November 26, 2014

With last year's iPhone 5s, one of the main new additions to the fold was the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, but as is typical of an early new Apple implementation, it was rather limited in terms of functionality. This has been relaxed somewhat in 2014, with third-party support as well as integration with the iPad line-up, but as ever, it has been left up to the jailbreak community to broaden its horizons. moeseth, the guy who brought us Virtual Home at the turn of the new year, is back with a new and improved VirtualHome 8 (iOS 8) tweak for the more recent software, and having earlier offered an insight as to some of its features, it's now available to download via Cydia.
