When Microsoft bought Nokia, many understandably thought that the latter's brief flirtation with Android would come to an end. After all, Microsoft makes its own mobile operating system and having its own hardware to run it on made perfect sense. Why compete with yourself by letting Nokia make Android phones? Right?
Microsoft's OneDrive, formerly SkyDrive, is one of a large number of services vying for your attention in the battle of the cloud services, and in order entice customers into signing up, the software company has announced its intention to more than double the amount of storage space offered as standard. At the present moment, those signing up to a free OneDrive account can enjoy 7GB of cloud-based storage for photos, videos, documents and other such files, but soon, this will be bumped to 15GB of free storage.
The iPhone 6 is, according to reports, primed and ready to go into mass production from next month, with Foxconn once again having been tasked with assembling the vast majority of those initial units. As far as we know, the handset will take on a curved form factor akin to the iPad Air, and although we can never be 100 percent certain given Apple's stringent veil of secrecy over the entire design and production progress, the sheer volume of leaks draw an almost irrefutable conclusion. Today, a new leak has surfaced that ties in nicely with everything we've heard, and notably, offers the best look at the forthcoming iPhone that we've clapped eyes on to date.
The Pangu team might just have delighted the jailbreak scene with the release of an untethered jailbreak for iOS 7.1 - 7.1.1, but it's not without its share of early issues. Bundled within the package is an app called PPSync, which is known to cause certain stock apps to crash, and make the system feel generally unstable, and basically subject iOS to no-end of nuisance. The obvious solution, then, would be to remove this package post-haste, and below, we'll show you just how to do this.
Pangu iOS 7.1.1 and iOS 7.1 untethered jailbreak was released moments ago, and as promised, here are instructions on how to use said tool to jailbreak your iOS device untethered.
There is a new iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak out in the wild. Released by Chinese developers, and dubbed as Pangu, the new untethered jailbreak is said to be working on the latest iOS 7.1.1 firmware and supports all the latest devices including the likes of iPhone 5S and iPad Air.
Apple's iPhone 5s offered many new features and perks over the preceding iPhone 5, and the most obvious - aside from the gold color option - was the introduction of the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Like many marquee features before it, Touch ID has been exclusive to the iPhone 5s for the duration of its tenure as Apple's flagship, but with the iPhone 6 now looming, it seems almost certain that the fingerprint sensor will also be added to the Cupertino's iPad roster. As well as bringing Touch ID to the iPad Air 2 and Retina iPad mini 3 later this year, it is also being reported that Apple is making some design changes for a more durable, reliable experience moving forward.
According to a report out of Thailand, two of Apple's main iPhone manufacturers have been hiring new staff en masse in preparation for the launch of the new iPhone 6. Foxconn has apparently beefed up personnel to the tune of over 100,000 workers, while Pegatron - a more recent addition to Apple's list of manufacturing partners - has also upped its numbers by almost one-third.
One area where Apple’s otherwise wonderful product, the iPhone, falls short in is the file management department. iOS natively does not offer any form of file management solution, owing to the restricted nature of the OS anyway. Then, from the several third-party solutions available over at the iTunes App Store, the good ones are mostly paid. And we’re not talking just $0.99 either; some capable file managers for iPhone and iPad can even touch a solid $10 before you can make them yours. There are free options available, but it’s a pain to find good ones out of the thousands available.
We may not be into the whole selfie craze quite as much as the kids seem to be, but we do know a good app when we see one. If you do insist on taking photos of yourself along with what will probably be the top half of your arm because you're holding the phone out to take the picture, then there are plenty of apps to use. We're pretty sure there is nothing quite like to.be Camera though.
