When it comes to testing the speed of one's internet connection, few do it better than Speedtest.net for obvious reasons. The site has long since been a portal for providing accurate speed tests, and in more recent times, its mobile app has helped those on-the-fly to detect the speed of their cellular data or connected hotspot. Today, the iOS Speedtest.net app has been given a significant update, and as well as belated support and optimization for Apple's iPhone 5, there's now the option to remove the ads by means of a 99 cent in-app purchase. Details, as well as the download link, are coming up right after the break.
Ever wanted an iPhone that's also a satellite phone? We hadn't either, but bear with us and you may change your mind for a while.
Whether you like a nice, small smartphone or a tablet-like behemoth is very much a personal decision.

We are getting close to that time of the year again when speculation surrounding the next-generation iPhone hardware starts to intensify. We've recently seen Samsung announce the Galaxy S4 smartphone, which may not offer much in terms of visual innovation, but definitely packs a punch when it comes to internal hardware and specifications. Those who are coming to the end of their current minimum-term contracts will be debating whether or not to snap up the latest flagship Android device from Samsung, or wait to see what Apple has in store for us with the new iPhone, or the iPhone 5S.
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.
An early morning alarm is by far the worst thing that can happen to a person during their day. Unfortunately, most of us have to attend work, school or some other pressing engagement which means that they are one of life's necessary evils to wake us from our overnight slumber. Still, just because the majority of us hate the morning alarm, it doesn't mean that those of us who are jailbroken can't add a little extra pizazz to that wake-up call, does it? Thankfully, Cydia has our back once again with the relatively new Wake Info package.
Mobile users, even many of those with an affinity to Apple's iOS, seem in agreement that the look and feel of the fruit company's flagship operating system is in severe need of updating. With a new leader at the helm of iOS in the form of Jony Ive, there's fresh optimism that iOS 7 will break the mold and bring the radical changes and implementations so many users seem to crave. As such, we've also seen many iOS 7 concepts since iOS SVP Scott Forstall was given his marching orders toward the end of last year, and this latest one from designer Mohamed Kerroudj is one of the best to date.
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.
