Any regular reader of Redmond Pie will know that we cover a lot of different tweaks for jailbroken devices. Regardless of whether the package is intended for the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or even all three, if it's useful and could benefit our readers then we'll give it the once over. With that said, it's always great to find and test a tweak that makes us want to keep using it after the review, which is something we think we might have found with the RaiseToCall package.
Jay Freeman, better known throughout the jailbreak community as Cydia creator Saurik, rarely dabbles in the business of building tweaks himself. The WinterBoard jailbreak app has been around almost as long as Cydia itself, and since its release, tweaks from the founding member of the jailbreak scene have been fewer and farther between. But earlier today, a new tweak by the name of Cyueue entered his repository, and simply put, allows for a more flexible experience when using the native Music app.
The talk of a low-cost iPhone ranks alongside products such as the iWatch and Apple's connected TV effort in years-old rumors are yet to materialize into an actual product. Following the iPad mini, which, after a lot of similar speculation, is now very much a real device, claims of a similar, cheaper entry to the smartphone market seems to have claimed some legitimacy with time. Today, we're hearing that the device, which many have suggested will launch alongside the next flagship iPhone, will utilize the same 4-inch display of the iPhone 5, while also featuring plastic exterior casing, falling perfectly in line with previous reports.
Readers of a certain age will remember Duke Nukem from before it became the laughing stock of the gaming world. Following a huge delay of Duke Nukem Forever that saw it skip at least one console generation, the game finally made it onto shelves only to be universally panned by critics and gamers alike.
Those who are looking into the jailbreak community from the outside world wouldn't immediately believe that Cydia contains a number of extremely advanced packages that actually assist in securing devices. One of the latest packages to land in the jailbreak store comes in the form of the iPrivacy tweak, which is attempting to take a leaf out of the desktop OS book by introducing a usable guest mode onto jailbroken iOS devices.
For some, the natural progression from the standalone camera has been to utilize the ever-improving shooters of their smartphones. Tablets, while considered principally similar to their smaller counterparts, are seen as less ideal for taking pictures and shooting video, for obvious reasons (hint: awkwardness in public). This is understandable really, since they're less convenient to carry around, and vendors tend to favor smartphones when it comes to the quality of snapper. However, with its new YouTube Capture app for the iPad, Google is looking to buck this trend, instead seeking to encourage users to use their tablets in order to create videos.
The iPhone 5 is a beautifully svelte device, and when looking for cases, most owners of the Apple smartphone seek a product offering stellar protection without compromising on the slim line form factor at all costs. However, if you'd consider yourself as being an Avengers fan before an iPhone fan, you may want to check out the outrageous Iron Man Mark VII case for iPhone 5 which, whilst increasing your device's overall size considerably, is also one of greatest tributes to The Avenger's we've ever had the privilege of seeing. More details after the jump.
A leaked video uploaded to, and subsequently pulled from YouTube has the internet aflutter tonight with news that Google may be about to bring its latest crown jewel to iOS.
With Apple being the world’s most valuable company, it’s hardly surprising that bootleggers dedicate their time and efforts to creating fake versions of its revered product range. The term knockoff has even been coined to describe these devices and their makers, and watching these attempts slip through the net and into the market has become something of a spectator sport. With the Cupertino company rumored to be plotting the ‘iPhone 5S’ for release in the near future, resident rip-off merchant Goophone has come through with its ‘i5S’ handset, and although we wouldn’t be tempted by a copycat device perhaps ourselves, it’s not hard to see how the company stays in business.
Apple as a company is extremely meticulous and consistent when it comes to things like advertising and marketing. The company's television based ad campaigns have become famous all over the world in recent years for their simplicity and insistence of focusing purely on the products and removing anything else that simply isn't important to the user experience. The Cupertino based company has recently posted two new iPhone 5 based commercials on its website where that consistency is once again highlighted with the 'Discover' and 'Brilliant' ads.
