I cannot recall seeing a wider variety of concept ideas for a piece of software than I have recently for iOS 7, and with the tech community anticipating some big changes thanks to the increased influence of one Jony Ive, it's hardly surprising to see designers tripping over themselves to bring forth their ideas and coming up with all sorts of iOS 7 concepts. One in particular from YouTuber iamthe6ixth offers a somewhat alternative take on the vast majority of those we've looked at hitherto, and instead of playing on the idea of a dramatically altered user interface, this concept presents changes pertaining to the functionality and behavior of iOS.
Like many jailbreakers, one of the very first tweaks I install upon jailbreaking a device for the first time is SBSettings. Its effortless toggling of any and every major setting within iOS is a commodity that cannot be enjoyed at stock level, but it's certainly something quite a few of us would love to see right off the bat. Designer Ran Avni certainly seems to concur, and has dared to dream with a very elegant design bringing toggles for alarm, orientation, Wi-Fi and others right to the home / lock screen.
A couple of days back, we showed you how Espier Screen Locker could make your Android smartphone's lock screen look just like an iPhone's, and following on from this, Espier has just released a beta version of an app to bring the iOS Notification Center to Google handsets. Not to everybody's taste, I might add, but from the company that also has a launcher offering the iOS home screen to those on Android, it seems Espier studios is on a mission to bring as much of iOS's UI over to Android as it possibly can.
Those iPhone users who make use of a VPN connection will find that their phone gets a little less smart later this month after Apple announced that it is removing a feature from its VPN settings.
New releases of Apple’s iOS always cause a stir, but with the removal of Scott Forstall and addition of Jonny Ive to the iOS fold, the next big release of the iPhone and iPad operating system is eagerly anticipated by many. Will iOS 7 look and feel very much like the current release, or will Apple take the opportunity to shake things up a little?
Like many, I have used iOS for a number of years, but every now and then, a YouTube clip or Reddit post from somebody out there with way too much time on their hands reveals a feature unbeknown to the vast majority of users. Seeing as Google offers a pretty functional calculator after a simple search for "calc," it stands to reason that the iOS Calculator app may not get as much use as it once did. But for those who still consult the largely unchanged app for simple sums and equations may be surprised to know that a little hidden feature allows you to quickly and effectively amend your mistakes.
Facebook is already the biggest social network on the planet, but that doesn't mean it has everything its own way. For every user that actively updates their feeds with new content for their friends to read, there must be many, many more that simply visit Facebook in order to keep up with what their old school pals are doing.
A new potential security flaw has been found in a newly released version of the software that powers the iPhone, according to a new video that has cropped up on YouTube.
Let's be honest, we're all friends here. If you're reading this on a weekday morning then it's safe to say you're a bit of a geek. It's OK, we are too, and it's nothing to be ashamed of.
The final build of iOS 6.1.3 has made its way to the end-users, with bug fixes and improvements over the prior release. Those who are more interested on customizing their devices by jailbreaking, then there’s both good and bad news. Apple has patched Evasi0n untethered jailbreak exploits for iPhone 5 and other newer devices, as confirmed by the company here. So if you accidently updated to 6.1.3, there is no way for you to untether-jailbreak your device. For never devices, there is no option to downgrade to older firmware either. But if you happen to have A4 powered iOS device, you can tether jailbreak iOS 6.1.3, full details after the jump.
