The contact list in iOS pales in comparison to its counterpart on other mobile platforms. There's no embedded photos, no integration with social networks profiles, and no quick way to send emails or texts.
Luckily, if you're jailbroken, you can resolve most of these problems by installing tweaks. Copic or ChatPic can add photos to your contacts, and CallTap will give you a way to quickly message them...
It seems like a gross oversight, on Apple's part, that there's no external indicator for notifications on the iPhone. This means that unless you happen to see a push notification come through, you have to unlock your handset to see if you have any missed calls or text messages.
Apple tried to remedy this issue with a new feature in iOS 5 called LED Flash for Alerts. It uses the iPhone's camera flash to alert users that they have new notifications, but for a number of reasons, this solution is far from perfect. Enter the new FLASHr case by Phaze5...
Now that it's been all but confirmed that Apple will be hosting a media event in September, the spotlight turns to the focus of the meeting. Obviously, a new iPhone is a given. But what else will Apple be unveiling that day?
One report suggests that we could see the rumored iPad mini at the event, although there is still no actual evidence that such a product exists. But that's not stopping case-makers from ramping up production...
Last night, iMore published a report claiming that Apple was going to unveil its new iPhone, and other products, at a media event on September 12th. The note also said that the handset would be released the following week.
While a September launch seems a bit early, considering last year's timeframe, evidence is really piling up in its favor. In fact, a new report is out this afternoon reaffirming the date...
When you get the sudden urge to look up something on Google or heck, iDB, what do you do? If you're iPhone is locked, you have to unlock it, locate Safari, or whatever your browser of choice is, and launch it.
The process isn't by any means tedious, but it could be cut significantly shorter if you installed a tweak like AnyBrowser. AnyBrowser allows you to access the internet from practically anywhere on your iPhone...
The tech world was set on fire yesterday with images of what appeared to be a nearly-assembled next-generation iPhone. While we've seen similar parts, separately, over the past few months, put together they seemed to carry a lot more weight.
But if you're still having a hard time with the proposed two-tone design, or feel like it doesn't differ enough from its predecessor, you may want to check out this video. It shows the claimed partially assembled next-gen iPhone in all of its glory...
Thanks to leaked components and industry sources, it feels like we know just about everything there is to know about Apple's new smartphone. We [think we] know what it looks like, and what new features it will have. But we haven't heard much about its release date, until now.
A new report is out this evening claiming that Apple is planning to unveil the sixth-generation iPhone at a "special event" on Wednesday, September 12, and it's expected to release the handset the following week. But that's not all the Cupertino company has in store...
The highly-anticpiated patent trial between Apple and Samsung is set to kick off tomorrow in a US District court in northern California. And even if you're not interested in all of the patent-talk, there are still several reasons to look forward to the litigation.
The court-ordered revelation of early iPhone and iPad prototype designs, for example, is particularly exciting. Apple has kept information regarding the development of its two most popular products extremely close to the vest over the past ten years. And this trial will force the company to finally reveal at least some of those secrets...
We've seen several leaked components over the past few months that are believed to belong to the Apple's next smartphone. We've seen home buttons, front plates, back plates, and more.
This morning, images surfaced of all of these parts put together, depicting what appears to be a fully-assembled, next-generation iPhone. Keep reading for more details and photos...
As the Pebble showed us, consumers are very interested in iPhone-connected smartwatches. The KickStarter project smashed all previous funding records, garnering over $10 million in pledges.
As you might have guessed, the success has drawn others into the smartwatch space. And today, we're going to take a look at the latest entry, the Strata...
As we've said before, wearable computing is coming. We know it's on Google's mind — last month the company showed off its Project Glass eyewear. And we've seen evidence that Apple's interested as well.
The Cupertino company filed for another wearable computing patent this week. The application covers an invention that, as you can see in the above image, has to do with a head-mounted digital display...
It hasn't been 24 hours since the news broke that Apple acquired AuthenTec, and there's already talk of foul play. It seems that two law firms are investigating the acquisition to see if AuthenTec's Board intentionally undervalued the company to reach a deal with Apple.
Although the investigation appears to only involve AuthenTec at the moment, a resulting lawsuit could have a major impact on, or even block, Apple's latest tech purchase...
