Apple is now airing two new iPhone 4 commercials as part of the "If you don't have an iPhone..." series, which shows off iPhone features that aren't, according to Apple, available on any other device. The two new ads feature two well-known technologies: FaceTime and AirPlay.
Those who have been lucky enough to get their hands on a Google+ invite may now be wondering how to get the most out of the service from their iOS devices until the official Google+ app for the system becomes available. The same app has been available on the Android Market ever since Google+ was first announced, yet it's still undergoing Apple's strict approval process. Thanks to a Picasa client, however, you can now upload pictures from your device to Google+ unofficially.
AutoPlay is a new iOS app that lets user create playlists with YouTube videos, play them continuously and even output them to a large screen via AirPlay or plain old HDMI. Could this replace the default iOS YouTube client?
Apple’s App Store was launched exactly three years ago on 10th July, 2008 with an update to iTunes. The very next day, Apple launched the iPhone 3G which, besides having subtle hardware/design tweaks over its predecessor, came with the App Store built-in on iOS 2.0. Apple expanded the Store’s scope last year when the company introduced its tablet iPad.
Earlier this week, we showcased Swype for iOS, a new jailbreak that greatly increases typing speed on iOS devices. Back when we first previewed the tweak, it had several caveats, such as low accuracy and other bugs. Swype has now been updated to address those issues and make the port feel more like the original Android version.
Those who've spent some time on the Android platform are probably aware of Swype, a tweak that lets users type on their virtual keyboards without ever lifting their fingers, by simply quickly swiping their finger across the keyboard over any letter in order to form a word, and only then releasing it. Fans of this tool should now be happy to know that Swype has now been unofficially ported to iOS.
Despite being the world’s most popular smartphone, the iPhone is yet to make an appearance in the Chinese wireless carrier market. Today, an iPhone (5?) apparently running on China Mobile’s TD-SCDMA network has been caught in the wild, which is sure to give hope to those in China desirous of an iPhone.
According to sources familiar with Apple's supply chain, the company has ordered parts for a next-generation iPhone, alleged by this source to come in a thinner and lighter enclosure.
Analysts are reporting that Apple’s iPhone will be coming to another American wireless carrier this year - Sprint-Nextel - in Christmas.
If you've been keeping a close eye to the news over the last few days, you're probably aware of JailbreakMe 3.0, a simple untethered jailbreak that takes advantage of a PDF exploit in Mobile Safari. The wizards in the jailbreak community have engineered a fix that manages to preserve the jailbreak, at the same time as it stops unsuspecting users from launching a harmful PDF and having their devices taken over.
