Foursquare users will notice that the social network has recently pushed out a significant update to its iOS app. Foursquare 5.0, as it's called, features a complete redesign, with a much cleaner-looking UI, and several navigation-related changes.
In an intelligent move, the location-based service has brought all of its most-used features to the forefront of its mobile app. I especially like how the Explore tab has been redesigned to make it easier to find nearby deals and areas of interests...
Last week, metal-laden back covers, reportedly belonging to the next-generation iPhone, started popping up online. The components were intriguing, because with their elongated bodies and redesigned charging ports, they lined up perfectly with previous speculation.
Well today, we've come across a video showing off the part. The folks at CydiaBlog point to a new YouTube video from ETradeSupply, a third-party parts dealer, who appears to have gotten its hands on one of these "iPhone 5" back covers. Full clip after the break...
In late 2011, OnLive announced that it would be bringing its over-the-air console gaming platform to iOS. It promised that users, wielding its dedicated controller, would have access to a library of tens of thousands of popular games on their iOS devices.
But as cool as it sounded, the magic soon wore off as the app's ETA went from "imminent" to "your guess is as good as ours." It's now been 6 months since the OnLive team submitted its iOS client to the App Store. And it's still awaiting Apple's approval...
Not too long ago we told you about a new Kickstarter project that caught our eye. Called the Touchtype, the project offered up a new type of iPad case that really piqued our interest.
More than just an iPad case, the Touchtype promised to offer a safe home for not just your tablet, but also an accompanying Apple wireless keyboard. If you've ever wanted to leave your hefty MacBook Pro at home when popping down to the coffee shop to do a little work, then the Touchtype aimed to make using your iPad for work a real possibility.
The thing is, and as we have all witnessed before, Kickstarter projects all look great when asking for money, but what about the finished article? We have been lucky enough to spend some time with a shipping version of the Touchtype, and we don't think you'll be disappointed...
Last month, the folks of Rogue Amoeba made headlines when they announced that their app, Airfoil Speakers Touch, was removed from the App Store. Apple pulled the app, after more than a month of support, without giving the team much of an explanation.
Speculation flew about regarding the mysterious removal, eventually settling on the idea that maybe Apple was looking to implement a major feature from the title in its upcoming iOS 6 release. But, as Rogue Amoeba tells it, that wasn't the case at all...
Are you looking for a theme that makes ample good use of your iPhone's Retina Display? If so, then look no further than the upcoming release of ayecon.
ayecon is the latest jailbreak theme from legendary iOS themer and graphic designer, Surenix. Scheduled to hit Cydia on June 8th, it's a theme that has to be witnessed to be able to appreciate the amount of effort that went into putting together such an incredibly detailed project.
Even coming from someone who's no longer overly fond of themes, I have to give credit where credit is due — ayecon looks spectacular — hardcore iOS themers will likely love it. Don't believe me? Then take a look at our hands on video...
With the LinkedIn privacy scare and Google's 3D maps taking over news today, we've seen little updates concerning Apple's upcoming iPhone. Enter KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who argues in today's note to clients that the next iPhone will use back and front cameras re-engineered with thinness in mind.
And if you're new to iPhoneography, you're probably thinking that a higher-resolution CMOS sensor is also in the cards. Not so fast...
Perhaps not unsurprisingly, Apple has asked the court for permission to add Samsung's latest smartphone to its list of devices eligible for a preliminary injunction.
The company is leveraging its two patents to enforce the ban, one already successfully used to stop imports of HTC devices and the other covering unified search and Siri capabilities that Samsung's device replicates with its S-Voice feature that Cupertino feels shamelessly rips off Siri's user interface.
Looks like Samsung may want to re-think its stance that the S III wasn't designed by lawyers...
As we noted in our liveblog, today's Google Maps presser has brought out the much-anticipated 3D imagery that we're being told is coming to both Android and iOS platforms via the Google Earth mobile app.
And as Apple reportedly gears up to preview its own 3D mapping solution at WWDC next Monday, it's time to take a closer look at what Google's technology can do.
Well, the search giant just posted an awesome video that shows off 3D cityscapes, complete with buildings, terrain and even landscaping, from the new 45-degree aerial imagery in Google Earth. It's pretty awesome and I for sure am liking a lot where they're taking maps (apparently, I'm not the only one)...
As noted by MacRumors, UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) has just released its official app for Euro 2012. The 14th annual European Football Championship starts Friday, June 8th, and will continue on for the rest of the month.
Surprisingly, football (known as soccer here in the States) is slowly starting to catch on here in the States. It's by no means near as popular as it is in the rest of the world, but major TV networks are starting to bid for broadcasting rights...
Apple's little ATV update, which started rolling out yesterday afternoon, is quickly making the rounds in the jailbreak community today. Earlier we saw FireCore's Seas0nPass tool updated to support the new software. And now it's Sn0wBreeze's turn.
A few moments ago, iH8sn0w announced that he has released a new version of Sn0wBreeze: v2.9.6. The utility now includes support for the 5.0.2 Apple TV software, as well as a new feature that will allow users to resize their ATV's root partition...
Fans of the popular MobileTerminal utility for jailbroken iOS devices will be happy to hear that the frustration is finally over. After a several-month absence, an iOS 5-compatible version of the tool is now available in Cydia.
This means that you can forget about going through the tedious 5 step process of manually installing the app's .deb file every time you want to get MobileTerminal on your device. The package is now just a tap away...
