Apple's change in release cycle this year has resulted in the speculation that there will not be an iPod touch refresh this Fall. Because of the iPhone 5's postponed announcement, it was believed that Apple's typical music event in September would take a backseat to new iPhone hardware.
An iFans forum member has done some snooping in the iOS 5 beta and found references to a future generation iPod touch. Will we see an iPod touch 5G after all this Fall?
When you put your iPhone on silent, there are certain notifications that can go unnoticed if your iPhone is in your pocket or purse. Sure, your iPhone will vibrate for missed calls and messages, but that's about the extent of the option.
As part of the ongoing TweakWeek daily challenge, jailbreak developer Dan Zimmerman has released a utility to remedy this problem. VibLert enables the vibrating notification option for all applications...
The popular iPhone photography app, Camera+, recently had its one year App Store anniversary. The folks at tap tap tap are no strangers to success in the App Store, and the development company is known for its smart marketing tactics and quality applications.
The developers of Camera+ have released an infographic detailing the success of their app, including an accumulative $2.7 million in revenue. The infographic shows what types of photos people are sharing the most with Camera+ as well. The winners include dinner, beer and cats...
Still wondering why Apple COO Tim Cook was wandering around China Mobile HQ earlier this week? Well, it may have something to do with the company's upcoming iPhone 5.
A worker for China Mobile allegedly revealed on Weibo.com (China's substitute to Twitter) that Apple's fifth-generation iPhone will indeed launch in September like previous speculation has suggested — possibly even earlier in the U.S. and other key markets.
It's no secret that Twitter has become incredibly successful as a social network and publication tool. A large part of the site's success is thanks to the mobile implementation we've seen in an array of third party clients over the years.
Particularly, on the iPhone, Twitter apps are a dime a dozen. You've got the official client, TweetDeck, Echofon, Tweetbot, etc. all clamoring for attention in the App Store.
The folks at Onavo Insights have put together a nice infographic detailing Twitter's statistics on the iPhone. Check it out after the break...
I have to admit, after all the evidence we've seen over the last several months, I was a little surprised that we didn't see any kind of major improvements to the Map app in iOS 5. Apple has purchased multiple GPS software companies in the last few years, including PlaceBase and Poly9.
But even though there were no significant Map announcements at WWDC, there's still hope. Apple's developer's conference only gave us a "sneak peak" at 10 items from a list of over 200 improvements, so it's very possible that we may still see Maps get a revamp this fall...
Using a Bumper is so 2010! If you want to really protect your iPhone - and if you have an extra $300 to spare - this new titanium iPhone case might be perfect for you.
"Machined from a single piece of titanium, the premium case provides immense strength and a sleek, handcrafted look. Titanium, most often used in aircraft engines and luxury automobiles, adds high-power durability. A laser etched logo detailing completes the modern style."
Distimo has released a new study that focuses on the iPhone's App Store development in Asia. The analytics company examined data from 14 different countries, including China, to determine the App Store's influence in the Eastern hemisphere.
The report's findings placed China as the second largest market for Apple's App Store, next to the United States. Interestingly, while many European countries are seeing decreases in App Store activity, countries like China are seeing exponential growth in App Store download volume.
Have you ever noticed on a BlackBerry that when there is a missed call or text, a tiny LED flashes to alert the user? That's certainly one feature I wish Apple would implement in future smartphone designs, as a missed call can go unnoticed for hours on the iPhone if it's not in use.
Apple halfway makes up for the missing feature in iOS 5 with the addition of LED Flash Alerts. The new option triggers the iPhone 4's camera flash to alert users of missed calls or text messages. For folks that can't wait until the fall to take advantage of the Flash Alert feature, here's MissedReminder...
We've heard some staggering statistics for the jailbreak community recently. Saurik, the mastermind behind Cydia, estimates that there are anywhere between 10 to 15 million jailbroken iDevices in the world.
The number of unlocked iPhone users is also perplexing. We did a story last month about China Mobile that suggested there were close to 4 million unlocked iPhones running on their network. How many unlocked iPhones do you think are in the U.S.?
This has been quite a year for the man The Financial Times named Person of the Year in 2010. Steve Jobs started out 2011 by taking a medical leave of absence due to health problems.
But the co-founder of Apple still managed several achievements, like unveiling the iPad 2 in March and receiving multiple awards. He's even set to be featured in his own comic book...
This is one of those stories that makes you scratch your head. How does a stolen iPhone end up finally phoning home after moving almost 8,000 miles away from its owner?
In a testament to Apple's genius Find My iPhone service, Cabel Sasser uncovered his stolen iPhone two weeks after it was stolen and transported 7,830 miles away. That's some good detective work.
