iPhone peripherals are certainly not hard to come by in today's market, and this is perhaps not all that surprising given that the Cupertino smartphone is by far the most popular model available. But finding good quality accessories is a different ball game completely, with many cheap pretenders swamping the industry among the rare, noteworthy gems. Twelve South is a US-based company dedicated to bringing Apple-centric items of the highest order, and the new HiRise for iPhone 5 and iPad mini makes for a very practical, eye-catching stand.

Photography is a big thing for many iPhone users. Thanks to its ability to take some of the best photos possible with a smartphone, the iPhone 5 is perhaps the world's most popular photo-taking device, and with good reason. It also means that the App Store is full of interesting photography apps, and was also the reason that Instagram took off so quickly, leading to a huge buyout by Facebook.

Of all the uses a smartphone can bring to the table, universal remote facilities are utilized by many a consumer. While some devices come equipped with an infrared sensor right out of the box for this very purpose (among others), the vast majority, including Apple's iPhone, do not offer such a feature as standard. Luckily, renowned peripheral expert Logitech has come through with its nifty Harmony Ultimate Hub, which allows you to turn virtually any smartphone into an all-singing, all-dancing universal remote control for just about any piece of kit you may have lying around.

Having all singing, all dancing smartphones is all well and good, but if all we're going to do with them is send messages, make calls and take photos of our food then we can't help but think they're being somewhat wasted. What happened to the imagined future that saw us living our lives through those phones, replacing other devices and outdated equipment as we go?

As my colleague recently pointed out, decent battery retention in a mobile device is perhaps at more of a premium than ever before. We love all the new and exciting features arriving with each and every updated revision, but keeping the thing running for more than a few hours at a time can be something of an uphill battle. The Infinity Cell kinetic charger is an iPhone battery pack with a twist, as it uses your body’s natural movements to generate the power, meaning you don't need to be repeatedly hooking your handset to the mains in order to keep it juiced up.

The jury may still be out on whether 3D viewing is to be a significant part of the technology industry moving forward, or whether in fact it's just a novelty feature to be enjoyed from time to time. If you're of the opinion that yes, 3D viewing is a key part of digital viewing in future, then you may be interested by the creation of a Singapore-based bunch of researchers, who've developed a special type of film that can help mobile displays output in three dimensions.

iPlifier Is An Ultra-Portable Sound Amplifier Accessory For iPhone 5 [VIDEO]

Paul Morris·April 2, 2013

Over the last few years, we have seen a number of companies release accessories for the iPhone that have the sole aim of providing a better sound output experience. Be it listening to music on the phone, watching movies downloaded from iTunes or just flicking through what's available on YouTube, the outputted sound quality and volume is one of the most important parts of the device's media capabilities. We've seen large dock based devices, smaller portable accessories and plug-in headphone attachments, and now thanks to Kickstarter, we are seeing what could possibly be the smallest amplification device in the form of the iPlifier. And to be quite honest, the accessory is not exactly rocket science either. More details after the break.

Aatif·March 23, 2013

In my general experience, the iPhone lineup of smartphones has much better battery life as compared to most Android phones out there as of today. Partially, it’s due to how you use your device, but it’s also the fact that iOS’ battery utilization and resource management is far superior to what Google’s smartphone operating system has on offer. I know I would’ve irked a lot of Android fans here, but hey, I already said that’s my personal assessment. However, as of late, iOS has been struggling with batter woes really severely, and the rapid releases of iOS 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 are testament to that fact. Fast battery drains are frequent, and while the Cupertino company is really making all the efforts to fix these, they’re having a hard time.

Many of us, when out and about, use more than one digital device at a time, and whether we're necessarily aware of it or not, there's an invisible pecking order. The smartphone is usually the most important, and the tablet, invariably, the least crucial to the running of our digital errands. It stands to reason, then, that the smartphone would run out of battery a lot quicker than the tablet, and one IndieGoGo group has created a product which allows you to transfer battery to your priority iOS device(s) from another, less important device. If your iPad is sitting in your bag, fully charged, and yourself (and perhaps your friend) are running out of iPhone battery, the ChargeBite ensures that dormant battery doesn't go to waste. Sounds awesome? Read on for more details.
