Peekly For iPhone Gives The iOS Lock Screen A Much-Needed Overhaul, Here’s How To Install It [VIDEO]

Ben Reid·March 12, 2013

With the omni-present iOS Vice President Scott Forstall having been given his marching orders following the disastrous iOS 6 Maps app (among other things), there's a real feeling that iOS 7 will - with Jony Ive at the helm - actually address some of the long-standing issues with Apple's mobile software. Thus, designers have been doubly busy over the past few months in lending their skills and creativity to dreaming up news ways iOS 7 can offer a significantly enhanced user experience, and following the revamped Weather app concept from a couple of days back, a new jailbreak tweak / theme by the name of Peekly adds a beautiful, slide-to-reveal element to the inherently dull iOS lock screen.

We've been using and adoring the iPhone for six years now, and in that time, we've seen Apple iterate the device through a number of aesthetic designs to get to where it is today. It's naive of us to assume that when Steve Jobs and his company first decided to get serious about the iPhone, we believed that the design of the original device was the only one that they considered. During the last six years, we've seen a number of iPhone prototypes popping up all over the web after having been leaked through various sources, but have we ever stopped to consider what the original iPhone looked like?

For years now, many have been attempting to figure out new ways of bringing 3D displays to mobile devices, although none of them has reached mass market. While a widely marketable solution is likely still ways away, the Palm Top Theater is an affordable way for 3D content to be played on the iPhone.

How To Set Important iOS Banner Notifications As Sticky On iPhone

Paul Morris·March 11, 2013

Whenever Apple introduces a new feature in iOS, there is always mixed reaction from consumers. Some will make extensive use of whatever Apple adds, whereas others will have no need for it and will ultimately berate or belittle the feature. Thankfully the introduction of banner based alerts in iOS 5.x was definitely met with positive reaction, but Cydia wouldn't be so popular if new features couldn't be enhanced by the jailbreaking community. The Sticky Icky package released today is one developers attempt at making Apple's banner alerts that little bit better.

How To Disable Vibration Mode On iPhone When It Is Placed On Flat Surface Or Upside Down

Paul Morris·March 10, 2013

I think it's pretty fair to say that almost every single iPhone owner has experienced the shock of sitting in silence only for an alert to come through to the device causing it to vibrate. That vibration is amplified when the phone is on a hard flat surface and can be difficult to get used to if it happens repeatedly. The developer of the MyVibe Cydia tweak for jailbroken devices has clearly suffered at the hands of amplified vibration and has produced this installation to allow other users to prevent it from happening in certain circumstances.

The iPhone App Which Allows You To Quickly Launch In-App Actions Receives Its First Major Update

Paul Morris·March 10, 2013

The guys over at App Cubby have been riding on the back of quite a large amount of praise since they released the Launch Center Pro iOS app last year. Although it may not be to everyone's taste, the handy productivity based app takes what can be boring, tedious and repetitive tasks and manages to cut them down into manageable two-tap chunks. That alone probably makes the app worth the purchase for a lot of users, but things in the Launch Center Pro world have improved of late with the release of version 1.1 of the app.

New Reports Again Point To Snapdragon SoC Processors To Be Used In Upcoming Low-Cost iPhone

Goncalo Ribeiro·March 9, 2013

For the last several months, the rumor mill has been chock full of reports about what Apple may have in store for the iPhone this year, especially a brand-new low-end iPhone model to satisfy customers with lower budgets. According to a new report straight out of China, Apple plans on to ship the new low-end smartphones with a Snapdragon chipset, as opposed to the A6 and A6X devices currently used on all of the Cupertino company’s recent iOS devices. This is not new though, as previously a report in January also pointed to a Snapdragon SoC for the low-cost iPhone.

It makes for a great reading when Cydia is refreshed and the list of available packages is populated with new and interesting offerings. It's even better to see that a number of developers are now starting to take an interest in enhancing Apple's native iMessaging service.

Apple Unlikely To Introduce Wireless Charging On iPhone This Year

Ben Reid·March 8, 2013

As always tends to be the case a few months prior to a purported iPhone launch, the rumor mill has been awash with speculation that Apple could follow in the footsteps of Nokia et al and bring wireless charging to its prized smartphone this year. A report surfacing from the famously hit-and-miss Digitimes suggests the Cupertino company will indeed be introducing the technology as a built-in feature to the so-called "iPhone 5S", but 9to5Mac's notion to the contrary would seem more correct.

This Concept Shows How iOS 7 Weather App Would Look If Android-ified

Ben Reid·March 8, 2013

German designer Philipp Tusch has come up with an interesting concept idea for iOS 7's weather app, which takes the look and feel of Android's offering and brings it straight to the iPhone. Not only does it look clean and crisp, but it is a vast improvement on the dull, monotonous, dated-looking native Weather app which currently graces every iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
