It's extremely simple in both its purpose and execution, and includes no options to configure. After installing Redire your Lock screen camera will function almost exactly like it does on iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1.

An indie Steve Jobs biopic starring Ashton Kutcher is reportedly being rushed through production, with principal photography scheduled to start next month so that the project could hopefully be ready for a fourth-quarter release.
They are actually hoping to get it out ahead of Sony's upcoming flix about Steve Jobs and Apple, according to the movie's producer.
But does an independent movie starring a comedic actor in a serious role have what it takes to beat a multi-million dollar project, based on Walter Isaacson's authorized biography of Apple's co-founder and backed by one of Hollywood's most powerful studios?

9to5Mac is reporting this weekend that Apple is experiencing "atypical inventory shortages" of white 16GB iPhone 4 replacement units. As a result, it seems like [at least] some iPhone 4 users seeking hardware replacements could be in for a nice surprise.

The App Store has seen its fair share of drama since its creation, and while Apple never publicly acknowledged any of it, there have been ample amounts of evidence showing that iTunes accounts have previously been hacked to steal money from store credit, or to buy applications without the account's owner's consent. Last year, some hackers went as far as selling iTunes accounts login information on ToaBoa.com, a Chinese site similar to eBay.
Today we received tips from two independent sources claiming they had received a suspicious email from Apple, urging them to download an application from the App Store. The email happens to be a fake, but the application is real...
Remember those 1st generation iPod nanos that Apple recalled recently? You know, the ones that were prone to overheating and, in extreme cases, catching fire? It turns out Apple didn't quite get them exchanged quickly enough.
A Japanese judge has ruled in favor of a couple from Tokyo who were unfortunate enough to own an original iPod nano, purchased in 2005. Five years later, the device was found to be getting unusually warm during charging and, once in the hands of a poor Japanese lady, burst into flames.
The result was badly burned hands which took a month to heal, and a court case which resulted in Apple being asked to cough up some cash by way of compensation...

We all like to protect our iPhones and iPads as much as possible, which explains why the case making business is such a lucrative one. If you look anywhere online, then you'll be able to find an iPhone or iPad case to suit your mood and price range. Choice is clearly king.
Even with all that choice though, we are willing to say that it is a safe bet that you haven't come across one of these cases before. For starters, it isn't the best looking case around there, and it certainly isn't the thinnest at one-inch thick. It ain't the cheapest either, at $648 per unit.
It does have one thing going for it,though. Namely, this particular case is bulletproof...
LTE coverage is becoming an increasingly hot topic for Apple users here in the US. After waiting more than a year to utilize the high-speed 4G technology, Apple made its latest iPad LTE-capable. And it's likely that its next handset will be as well.
So which carrier has the best LTE coverage in the US? Verizon — by a long shot. And it's not showing any signs of slowing down. PhoneArena is reporting that Verizon has just lit up LTE in several areas in California, and in Reno, Nevada...
