When downloading apps on iOS, the only information you get to see on the home screen is a miserly little progress bar, which doesn't really tell you much at all. Sure, the system for downloading and installing apps and games is both seamless and efficient, so one cannot complain from that aspect, but a little more by way of information certainly wouldn't go amiss. AppETA not only delivers a bunch of useful info ranging from an app's publisher, to download speed, to percentage complete, but offers a broad range of great customization options.

With over one billion active users, Facebook is the world's largest social network by quite a margin. But while the Menlo Park-based company has spent quite a lot of time implementing features like Facebook Home and system-wide Chat Heads to Google's Android, the restrictive nature of iOS has meant that Facebooking on an iPhone or iPad remains a squarely in-app affair. Thanks to the jailbreak scene, though, iOS users can enjoy a much more integrated experience when using Facebook, and a new tweak, which brings a neat RSS feed of your Wall right to your iOS home screen, has just been released via Cydia. Check it out after the break!
With smartphone screens getting larger and larger, most manufacturers are beginning to focus on trying to make sure that the ever-increasing screen size isn't going to automatically mean that our handsets are going to grow proportionately. Thinner bezels are the order of the day for all smartphone makers at the moment, which is why a new chart is particularly pertinent.
Titanfall is one of the most highly-anticipated début games we've seen in a long time, and with the exception of last year's monumental release of Grand Theft Auto 5 from Rockstar Games, it's probably the most-hyped title of the past four or five years.

So, if you're in ownership of Microsoft's latest and greatest console, and would like to test the waters of Titanfall before its release, then check out the details after the break!
Getting a discount on a current-gen Apple device is an almost impossible task wherever you care to look, and although you can often save a couple of bucks if you buy, say, a gift voucher of equal value to the amount off the usual retail price, Best Buy will be offering a no-strings $50 off all Apple iPhones from Sunday.

Tim Cook recently hinted that Apple had a few new and exciting products up its sleeve for release later on this year, and although, when he talked of the "new product category," he was probably referring to the likes of the rumored iWatch, there's also been a great deal of speculation pertaining to an much larger iPad Pro. We've seen and heard plenty regarding the device, which many believe will pack a mammoth 12.9-inch display, and given that such a machine would be stepping into territory currently occupied by the MacBook range, one savvy design team has dreamed up a concept of the iPad Pro running Apple's desktop OS X operating system.
Apple may have gotten its act together in improving the general performance of its home-baked Maps app, but well over a year on from the disastrous launch of Cupertino's first navigation app for iOS, many users still swear by the third-party Google offering that used to take pride of place as a native feature. Despite the obvious limitation of being developed as an App Store entity, Google Maps remains the real deal, and if you were wondering how to go about saving map segments and routes for offline use, here's a little step-by-step guide on how you can achieve your goals.
It's a tile-matching puzzle based video game. It's immediately recognizable as one the most iconic games of all time. It was the first piece of entertainment software to make its way onto United States soil from the old Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and it can trace its history back nearly thirty years. Yes, we are indeed talking about the wonderful TETRIS game, which Apple is now offering for free as part of a limited time promotion that links directly to the iOS App Store.
Apple's latest and greatest smartphone, the iPhone 5s, has brought with it a host of new and exciting features. The A7 processor is backed up by 64-bit architecture, and with a dual-LED True Tone flash to accompany the improved rear-facing camera, the handset has been the subject of much acclaim. But aside from the gold model, which prompted an incredible response, the main talking point has been that mysterious Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Beefing up security, it has slotted into the iPhone repertoire rather nicely, but with the recent work of Evad3rs, what could the jailbreak community do with this new technology? Here, we survey some of the best Touch ID-related tweaks for the iPhone 5s.
