Apple started initially approving app compatibility updates for iOS 5 back in August. With iOS 5 set for a public release next week at the earliest, Apple is continuing to approve more iOS 5 compatibility updates for popular apps in the App Store.
Microsoft's Photosynth application received an update today that brings iOS 5 compatibility. What app will be next to receive a compatibility update for Apple's unreleased software?
If you go to Cydia today and visit the "Featured" section, you're going to see some nice changes. The page now lists some sponsored apps, and also Featured Extensions and Tweaks that are worth a look.
Bringing some much needed organization to Cydia, this Featured Extensions and Tweaks section is probably the most interesting part of this makeover...
If you haven't figured it out by now, there's more to iOS 5 than meets the eye. Since the new software was unveiled in June, Apple has been holding some of its best features close to the vest as it fine-tunes them to perfection.
One of those top secret features is a system-wide utility known as Assistant. The voice-activated digital concierge can do anything from sending text messages to performing internet searches. Want to see how it could work?
How do you plan on preparing for the next iPhone? Whether it's the iPhone 5, or the iPhone 4S, a lot of folks have different gameplans when it comes to acquiring the next iPhone.
What will you do with your current iPhone? Will you downgrade the firmware, jailbreak and unlock it, and try to pull in a premium? Or will you do like me, and keep your old iPhone and use it as a testing device?
These, and many, many more questions are answered in this week's episode of Ask Jeff...
Apple quietly removed its click wheel games category from the iTunes App Store this morning. Multiple sources have already said that Apple is getting ready to kill the iPod Classic and the iPod Shuffle, so this move doesn't come as a surprise.
With the Classic on its deathbed, it's obvious that the age of the click wheel is nearing an end. We'll miss you, little click wheel.
After scoring the lost iPhone 4 prototype last year, it was hard for Gizmodo to outdo themselves this year. Yet they still did, by publishing the world's first iPhone 5 review four days before the device is actually unveiled by Apple.
How could they possibly do this? The answer is rather simple: by creating a physical mockup based on the rumors we've heard, but also by focusing their review mainly on iOS 5. The result isn't as bad as you'd think...
Following the reset of iTunes March earlier this week, Apple just released iTunes 10.5 beta 9 for developers, a pre-release version of iTunes with iTunes Match beta. iTunes 10.5 beta 9 includes several performance enhancements and bug fixes, and is a required update for all iTunes Match beta subscribers.
If you use iTunes Match beta, remember that your iCloud libraries will be deleted at the end of this beta. This will require you to scan, match, and upload songs again. Also note that some of the features and optimizations of iTunes Match may not be available during this beta...
The ongoing legal battle between Apple and Samsung just took another turn this morning, with The Wall Street Journal reporting that Samsung offered a secret deal to put off Apple disputes over the sale of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia.
If the deal is accepted, Samsung could start selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia as soon as next week. The details of the deals remain secret, but I do have my ideas...
Adding more fuel to the fire, rumor ninja Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac reports that Apple's next iPhone will come in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities. This isn't the first time we've heard about a 64GB flavor of the iPhone 5, although there's reason to believe that Apple's focus on cloud storage with iCloud refutes such a claim.
With rumors of the iPhone 4S combating the idea of completely redesigned iPhone, Apple could choose to offer a cheaper iPhone with only 8GB of onboard storage. If iCloud is the future, how does more physical storage play into Apple's vision?
Even though the evidence keeps stacking in favor of an iPhone 4S-only event next Tuesday, we're still holding out hope for a second model. After 15 months of waiting, it'd be nice to see something that would completely blow us away.
But would an iPhone 4S really be that bad? I mean, it is supposed to have a faster processor (the A5) and a better camera. And there have been rumors of a larger, edge-to-edge display. But what would it all look like? Perhaps something like this...
We've all heard the stories of the kids who sat in their basements coding hit iOS games that go on to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. We've also heard about the likes of Rovio, a company that makes more money than it knows what to do with because some clever fellow decided that throwing birds at pigs would be fun.
There is money to be made in the App Store, so long as you're in the top 20% of iOS developers that are making a whopping 97% of the money that's out there...
On October 4th 10 am PST, Apple will finally unveil the next iPhone, putting an end to months of rumors and speculation. At this time, we don't know if the event will be streamed live, but you can always count on us to report every bit of information about the announcement.
If you're not in the US, do you know what time the keynote will start in your city and country? We make it easy for you...
