After years of being rather cagey in adopting new technologies, Apple really seems to be making much more of an effort to drag its products up to speed, offering consumers a better inventory of hardware for their day-to-day digital errands.
WinterBoard is the most favored companion of anybody wanting to modify colors, shapes, or themes of their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. It has just been updated, offering a series of bug fixes for every compatible version of iOS.
While many of us have owned (or at least, had the option to purchase) our new iPads for a month now, a handful of countries have yet to see an official release of the Apple's Retina-shining, LTE-compliant third tablet installment.
We take a lot of iOS screenshots here at Redmond Pie. Whether we are reviewing an app or we just want a unique image to accompany a post, we are constantly taking screenshots.
If you're increasingly bored with the engine noise of your car (smart car owners, I'm looking at you), a new app has been released that hopes to partially solve this problem. Available for both iOS and Android at the low cost of $0.99, XLR8 simulates the audio of various sports cars by utilizing your phone's accelerometer to play engine sounds that kind of matches the way you're driving. When you rev your real car, the audio revs up as well. When you slow down and approach a stop light, the audio also matches this as well.
LogMeIn is a remote desktop app of high critical acclaim, and is often regarded as the best RD apps available for mobile devices. While the service costs $39.99 per year, its reliability and features have seen it garner a sizable user base, and off the back of its success, creator LogMeIn Inc. has launched a brand new cloud-based storage service aimed at both iOS and Android users.
When it was released in 2010, the iPad was labeled as “a large iPod touch” and predicted to be a market failure by many (including a younger, more naïve version of myself). As it turns out, the fact that it is a large iPod touch is precisely what makes it so darn awesome, especially for non-tech-savvy people like my mother.
A new iPhone and iPad app shuns the bight for more megapixels in photos in favor of a 1-bit aesthetic that, we have to say, takes us right back to the early days of graphical computing. 1-Bit Camera takes us back to our childhood, and in the process makes us feel incredibly old!
If you're a fan of console and PC games being ported to iOS, then today seems like a pretty good day to be you. Just as Rockstar Games has dropped Max Payne over at Apple's App Store, fellow mighty publisher Electronic Arts has also released Burnout CRASH! to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch device owners.
For the most part, Apple has the media and general public swooning over them. From iconic product releases, memorable ad campaigns, and, in many cases, secrecy, Apple is talked about a lot, and mainly positive things are said. However, a more negative cloud looming over Apple's press parade are the allegations of terrible working conditions in China. Foxconn, the company which is tasked with manufacturing Apple products has been making plenty of headlines over the past few years due to reports of bad working conditions, and even employee suicides.
