We've been getting a lot of questions on whether it is possible to downgrade iOS 7.1 / 7.1.1 to 7.0.6 or earlier, and rather than try and respond to everybody, we thought it is better instead to consolidate everything we know about the state of downgrading into one, clarifying article. So if you're interested in reverting to an earlier firmware, please check the information below.
Often, we like to present you with reviews and coverage of protective cases for your mobile devices, and for the most part, our primary intention is to help you source the strongest shell for the lowest cost. But sometimes, we can't help but get suckered in by a case that's just too cool for school, and while this Sand Art Case may well be strong enough to repel those pesky scratches and scuffs, we're far too mesmerized by the glow in the dark sand art to pay much attention to its credentials!
By its very nature, Facebook has to be more vigilant than most when it comes to preserving user privacy and security. With well over one billion active users per month, we're talking about vast swathes of personal information, and to help users enjoy apps and services without having to submit large amounts of private info, the social network has just announced Anonymous Login.
Further to our report published yesterday of a dummy illustrating the potential form factor of the larger iPhone 6 and its supposed 5.5-inch display, we've now stumbled across a very promising snap of what appears to be the smaller of the two upcoming configurations of the rumor-besieged handset. The 4.7-inch model, which, unlike its larger cousin, isn't thought to be plagued by delays or production issues, has been snapped by an Italian blog, and since it's complete with the darker coloring and details, paints quite a vivid picture of what's allegedly next.
Thanks largely to the release of Titanfall and the affiliated Dashboard update for the Xbox One, news pertaining to the PlayStation 4 has been rather slow of late. However, the fledgling Sony console's heavily-anticipated software update - PS4 1.70 - is now upon us, finally putting an end to the issues with pre-loading games as well as introducing the SHAREfactory video editing utility.
The productivity apps market is fiercely contested as far as mobile devices are concerned, and while it has taken a while for Microsoft to port its iconic Office suite over to Apple's iOS, there exists a sizeable batch of useful alternatives. Along with Apple's own iWork and the aforementioned Office from Microsoft, Google has now sought to get in on the act by releasing an official Google Docs app for the Cupertino's mobile platform and its very own Android OS, alongside a further 'Google Sheets' app for all of your spreadsheet needs. Details and download links can be found below.
With the recent releases of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC's One M8, Korean company LG is about to take the wraps off its new flagship handset. Unsurprisingly, it's set to be called the LG G3, succeeding last year's release of the LG G2, and although we haven't been treated to many leaked details as yet, we're expecting yet another powerhouse device with a couple of unique quirks to boot. The invitations for special cross-continental launch events in late May have just been dished out, and we've got the important details right here.
A newly-released, free tweak over at the BigBoss repo has sought to bridge the gap between the rather lackluster iOS keyboard and that of the desktop rig by bringing a couple of the traditional keyboard shortcuts to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
We're already getting a little overly giddy at the idea of Apple finally bringing a larger iPhone to market, and the increasing number of leaks that appear to corroborate that notion isn't making it any easier for us. While it's very true that the iPhone 5 was indeed larger than all the iPhones that came before it, there's no arguing against the fact that most would gladly buy a phone from Apple that narrowed the size gap between Apple's smartphone and all those Android phones we see everyone lugging around.
As a company, Facebook has been open-sourcing a number of development libraries that will greatly improve other third-party apps going forward. Now, thanks to the jailbreak world, those who have liberated their iOS devices from Apple's walled garden can benefit from Facebook's mobile power by revealing a number of hidden settings within the native iOS app.
