The iPhone has improved in a variety of ways over the last few years, and like most other smartphones on offer, the rear-facing camera has been treated to regular enhancement. A camera is a complex being, with many elements combining to offer the very best snap-shooting experience, and one of the areas OEMs have sought to crack is the camera's ability to shoot in low lighting conditions. The iPhone 5 and subsequent 5s are far superior to any of their predecessors when there's not much light around, but the Lightstrap Kickstarter project, which, to offer an analogy, is almost the lovechild of an iPhone case and a torch.
A number of companies are currently working on MFi (Made for iPhone) controllers for a better all-round gaming experience on the fruit company's flagship smartphone, and it looks like renowned peripheral maker Razer is getting on the act courtesy of an image leaked via the Twitter handle Evleaks.

The emergence of social networks and sharing services like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Flickr has only accelerated the popularity of mobile photography and means we can share our creations with a few taps. But what about those who want to go beyond the native capabilities of mobile cameras with an added accessory? Well, the extremely popular Easy-Macro is one of the more popular options, and it just got even better.
Crowdfunding sites like Indiegogo and Kickstarter are a great way for individuals and groups to take an idea to the masses, and in the past few years, we've seen some truly weird, wonderful and genuinely innovative products and services grow from a simple video and description to items used by millions. As impressed as we've been, a new iPhone/Android-controlled paper Airplane proves once again that we can be surprised and inspired all at one, and when you've seen the clip of it in action, you'll see why it has already smashed its funding goal several times over with over eight weeks still to run.
If you've splashed out the big bucks on a new iPhone then the chances are you're going to want to protect it. For most of us that means putting it into a case that at least claims to offer some sort of protection against bumps and scrapes, as well as possibly the odd fall here and there. But that's about it.
After a duo of leaks and speculation, MOGA’s Ace Power iOS 7 game controller has now been officially announced, making it the first game controller for iOS 7 to be officially available for purchase. We’ve got more details right after the jump.
A few years ago, it would have been unthinkable for Apple to be preparing official support for gaming controllers on iOS, but the Tim Cook era of the Cupertino company seems a lot more open to new ideas. For quite a while, it's been of public knowledge that iOS would be allowing third parties to create gaming controllers for iPhones and iPads to take full advantage of the App Store's increasing gaming prowess, and MOGA's Ace Power effort looks to have been inadvertently showcased thanks to a YouTube clip.
We all thought that writing down notes was dying off, especially with services like Evernote fast becoming the place where we put just about everything. Note-taking has become a much more digital experience these days, and jotting things down on an iPhone or iPad is just a way of life for many of us. But that doesn't mean that there isn't still a place for the humble pen, especially if there's a good way to combine the traditional act of handwriting notes with the highly organized, highly digital way that Evernote users would keep track of their notes. That's where Livescribe comes in.
We've known for quite a while that along with all of the other bells and whistles, Apple would finally be bringing official support for game controllers with iOS 7. As such, we've also seen a number of leaks from a plethora of well respected third-party vendors, and not for the first time, Logitech's inaugural gamepad for the iPhone has been leaked. Catch the snap of the peripheral as spilled by Evleaks, as well as all of the information, right after the break.
iOS 7 is being touted at the biggest innovation in the history of iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices, and rightly so, because the kind of feature and visual overhaul that this version of the OS brings to Apple’s fantastic hardware is unparalleled. However, it isn’t all sunshine and butterflies, because such a major update means a lot of pre-existing content either needs to be updated, or has simply become redundant. Such is the case with a special genre of iHardware cases, whereby known as the gaming cases. Since they interact with software at a very integral level, such an update was bound to have an effect. And now, GameCase appears to have emerged as the first-ever official iOS 7 gaming case for devices running iOS.
