Since late last year, rumors of an upcoming iPhone have begun to take hold, with speculation only intensifying over the last few weeks and months. New pictures of the iPhone 5S motherboard have found their way onto the World Wide Web, leaving us to speculate whether these are real or just a quick Photoshop job.
Whenever you pop into a library, IT center, or coffee shop, it's not particularly hard to spot a MacBook. The glowing Apple logo on the back of the machine is unmistakable, and while it does make for a nice aesthetic footnote, it also has an air of the generic about it. There are various stickers one can place over the top of the logo to offer a touch of uniqueness, but considering the cost of an Apple notebook is fairly high in the first place, it's not surprising consumers are reluctant to begin sticking things to the body of their treasured gadget. Recognizing many would like to customize without defacing, entrepreneurs Tony Kern and Jeremiah Johnson have come up with the Iconic Disc: a highly customizable aluminum contraption which allows you to overlay the Apple logo with your very own design.
The wonders of technology seemingly know few bounds, but while we frequently see stories of how cool tech can be when traditions are broken and new benchmarks are set, it's always nice to appreciate that, in many cases, technology can be a truly inspiring, even life-changing commodity. This is certainly the case for 34-year-old Jason Koger who, having lost the vast majority of both of his arms in an accident, had a bionic limb fitted which is controlled, in part, by an iPhone app. What makes this story even more heart warming though, is that the limb has also allowed Koger, for the very first time, to hold his daughter's hand.
YouTube's never shy about changing its products in order to celebrate an anniversary of something it deems important, and today is no different.
We've been witness to a number of changes in the past that have been introduced by Apple as part of their plan to enhance iOS and make it a more usable mobile operating system for its millions of users around the world. One of those changes that well and truly split opinion at the time was the introduction of the 'Camera Grabber' on the iOS lock screen that essentially allows users to launch the Camera app without having to unlock the device. Some feel that Apple should natively allow users to change the function of that particular button, but as we know where there is a will, there's a generally a jailbreak based way.
It's as much of a yearly tradition as the iPhone release itself, and some would say it's even more fun. That's right folks, it's that time of year when we all start guessing what Apple will do with the next big release of iOS. This year's version number of choice is 7.0, and plenty of people are taking the opportunity to lay out just what they want out of Apple's next big release of iOS.
We are fast approaching that time of the year again when the general public starts to wonder when Apple will release the new iPhone, and the industry analysts begin sharing their predictions on what the new iOS based hardware will actually look like when it is released. Over the last few months, we've heard murmurings about the potential of an iPhone 5S being announced during this year's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco. We have also heard speculation suggesting that the new iPhone could come in two different screen sizes to appease those consumers looking to get their hands on a 4.5-inch device.
Waiting for an important event in your life is never fun – in fact, it’s simply waiting that isn’t much fun anyway. Nevertheless, when something exciting is going to happen, you do tend to count down the months, days, hours and even minutes down to the exact moment that it comes to your life. Counting down to an event is something that has been around for a long time, with a time where people used to mark off important dates on their wall calendars and then crossing off the remaining days as they approached closer. Where technology has made so many improvements to other areas of our lives, it has also impacted this area, and if you own a smartphone, you’re bound to have some sort of a countdown app that will help you keep track of exactly when something of worth to you is going to happen. In its most basic form, these apps are usually countdown timers embedded within the stock clock app on your device.
If you're already scared of Facebook, then get ready to don your tin hats once more, because it would appear that the social network can now track what apps you use on your mobile phone. At least, that's if you happen to use an Android phone.
