Rumors of a future iPhone 5S release have been popping up on a daily basis over the last few months, with many wondering if there will be anything left to show off when Apple finally unveils the device later this year. The newest purported leak is a picture allegedly depicting the front-facing camera of the upcoming iPhone 5S, along with another unidentified part. More details and images can be found right after the break.
Having already given the NuCharge iPhone 5 battery case from London-based iKit the once-over, we’ve yet another exciting product with a similar aim – to offer your Apple-designed smartphone an extension on the quoted battery life. As previously explored in that NuCharge review, we smartphone users can never have too much battery, and although the 1,440 mAh offered by Apple is adequate for many, having a backup to call upon is always mindful practice. Thus, here we are again, mulling over another battery pack by popular manufacturer PowerSkin.
We all love a good and decent looking weather app on our phones here at Redmond Pie, and for that very reason we’ve decided to compile a list of our favorite ones which you can download and try on your iPhone right now.
The introduction of iMessage along with iOS 5 back in 2011 may have ensured Apple's Messages app didn't remain completely ignored, but despite the popularity of the powerful, versatile, cross-device featurette, there are still plenty of shortcomings therein. Jailbreak apps like BiteSMS always ensure the native offering pales by comparison, but even the powerful pink icon-bearing app misses a trick or two in its quest to bring a sense of completion to iOS Messages. For example, if you receive an attachment but don't deal with it instantly, it can quickly find itself hidden away among pages and pages of back-and-forth chit-chat. This can be rather annoying, particularly if you deal with attachments on a frequent basis; but leave it up to jailbreak dev DrComputerIT to come up with the remedy in the form of MediaExport.
For the last few months, the rumor mill has been churning out new reports of what Apple may have in store for the next iPhone. One of the great possibilities assumed by the tech scene has been a lower-cost iPhone aimed at the low-end of the market. Continuing to feed this speculation, an alleged picture of the shell of the upcoming device has been leaked onto the web this morning, by the same source who leaked an alleged case along with the iPad 5 release date. Could this be the new low-end iPhone? Find out after the jump.
Yahoo! drifted into relative anonymity for a considerable period during the 2010s, sitting on the sidelines as Google almost single-handedly dominated with its assortment of powerful Web-based apps. However, the company has been busy reinventing its image of late, and as part of that movement, the Sunnyvale outfit has just introduced a couple of new apps for iPhone, iPad and Android tablets. As well as Yahoo! Weather for iPhone, there's a new Mail app catering to the larger displays of the iPad and Android-running tablets.
As if we've been short of future-gen iPhone concept ideas of late, German designer Eric Huismann has once again explored the idea of a transparent display in his 'iPhone 6' design. The very slick looking device is 17% thinner than the already svelte iPhone 5, packs a 10-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, and an upgraded A7 processor. Feel free to drool over the images after the break!
We love a good concept idea here at Redmond Pie, and with all this incessant talk of an "iPhone 5S" hitting the scene at some point in the near future, the designers have been out in force putting forth their own takes on what kind of form factor the device may eventually employ. But while many are getting understandably carried away with the supposedly imminent seventh-gen handset, the guys over at Aatma Studio have been busy creating an iPhone concept of a different kind.
There is no doubt about the fact that battery is one of the most important aspects of any mobile device. A device can be the most beautiful, elegant creation in the world and contain some of the most advanced features that we have seen in the mobile game, but if the battery doesn't last five minutes then the whole design process has been in vein. Apple's iOS devices do a fairly good job of keeping the user informed of the current battery level through a tidy little icon and optional percentage indication, but for those jailbroken users who want to make a little aesthetic tweak then the Live Battery Indicator package could be the solution.
As well as offering an abundance of eternally useful tweaks which enhance functionality and general usability of an iOS device, the Cydia Store is also full of apps, tweaks and themes aimed at changing the way things look and behave. More often than not, these kinds of mods serve little purpose other than to make things appear a tidbit nicer, but since there's nothing wrong with the odd aesthetic touch-up, many jailbreakers seek to explore these avenues. If you're the kind of individual that likes to tinker about with themes and such, you may wish to try JellyLock, a highly customizable tweak which borrows much from the look of Android Jelly Bean's exterior interface.
