The App Store is just about to hit 25 billion downloads, and to celebrate the event, Apple is having a massive giveaway where one lucky user will receive a $10,000 gift card to spend on apps and games.
Entering to win is pretty simple: just go to the App Store and download your favorite app (or any app for that matter). No purchase is necessary, but if you really don't want to download an app, you can always use this form to enter the giveaway...
Whenever I hear of a jailbreak app that somehow alters the iTunes syncing experience, a red flag goes up. I guess it was one bad experience I had when I was new to jailbreaking a few years ago that keeps me on guard whenever anything wants to touch my music.
Needless to say, I downloaded MultiTunes and decided to give it a try anyway. What I found was an awesome tweak that works just as advertised. With MultiTunes, you can sync multiple iTunes libraries on your iPhone with ease...
We don't really need more proof that the iPhone and iPad are a success, but every now and then we still like to be reminded of it. This time, it's Horace Dediu from Asymco that shares some incredible stats about the success of iOS.
To put things into perspective, Dediu created a graph that shows the cumulative sales of Apple computing products over the years since their launch. The conclusion is just breathtaking. More iOS devices were sold in 2011 than all the Macs ever sold...
It's sure to be a battery drainer, but for those looking for sound effects while swiping between screens, Screen Swipe Sounds is an interesting solution.
For $0.99, the developer has provided over a dozen sounds and the ability to enable vibration when swiping between pages on your iDevice.
The only downside (besides the obvious battery issue) is that the sound selection is quite abysmal. Listen in on our hands-on video inside...
The oddly named OpenURL NCWidget is yet another way to go about performing Google searches from Notification Center.
As you may already be aware of, there are already a couple of tweaks in the Cydia store to make searching from Notification Center a reality, but this one adds a few new features not found elsewhere...
Since just about everything else can be launched or accessed from Notification Center, wouldn't it be nice if you could invoke Siri directly from there as well?
With the help of a jailbreak tweak entitled SiriLaunch, now that's possible. SiriLaunch places a little Siri icon shortcut in the bottom left-hand corner of your Notification Center panel for easy access to your personal assistant...
User privacy has been a hot button issue over the past few months thanks to high profile scandals like the CarrierIQ fallout, and the more recent Path debacle. And now it looks like we can add Google to the list of violators.
In a recent investigative report, The Wall Street Journal claims that the search giant has been intentionally overriding the privacy settings of both desktop and iOS Safari users to better track their web browsing activity...
The Apple TV is in an interesting spot right now. Apple introduced the media hub, in its current form, all the way back in September of 2010. So in comparison to the company's other iOS products, the ATV is long overdue for a refresh.
But given all of the rumors that we've heard that Apple is building a full blown TV set, you have to wonder if we'll see another iteration of the set-top-box. Well whatever the next 'Apple TV' product is, we could see it very soon...
So I finally got some time to take OS X Mountain Lion's new AirPlay Mirroring functionality for a spin, and what I found was just what you would expect.
AirPlay Mirroring is a fairly seamless affair for Apple TV owners, and it works remarkably well — even in its current beta form.
Check out our hands-on experience with OS X Mountain Lion's AirPlay Mirroring on video inside...
By now, most of you have probably heard about Apple's ongoing trademark dispute with Proview. The monitor-maker believes that Apple is infringing on its iPad trademark, and has recently won an injunction against the company and its tablet in China.
Apple has responded to the allegations, claiming that it acquired the rights to use the iPad trademark from Proview years ago. It believes the company is trying to exploit loopholes in their agreement for monetary purposes. And judge Hon Poon agrees...
Apple has been seeding beta versions of iOS 5.1 to developers for almost three months now. And the most recent version, beta 3, was released more than a month ago. Apple is expected to unveil the new software alongside its iPad 3 next month.
That being said, the folks over at BlogdoiPhone are claiming that they've managed to acquire a Pre-GM version of iOS 5.1. And among the new features they've discovered, is a new Lock Screen camera icon (pictured above)...
Every college basketball fan's favorite time of the year is coming up, also known as March Madness. For those of you out of the loop, March Madness is the division I tournament for NCAA basketball, where college basketball's best teams duke it out to become the champion.
Like last year, there will be a March Madness app available to watch every game played. March Madness for iOS will be available March 7th, for only $3.99...
