If you told me that you had an app that would improve the battery life of my iPhone, or other device, I'd probably laugh. How could third-party software, especially in Apple's walled garden, substantially affect battery life?
Well Carat, a new application by AMP Lab, is promising to do just that...
With more than 50 million users, Dropbox is in a league of its own when it comes to third party cloud services. Its drag-and-drop storage platform allows users to keep their content synced across all of their devices.
Well the service just got a little bit better for iOS users. Dropbox 1.5 popped up in the App Store last night, bringing with it new features like automatic photo and video uploads, and an all-new content gallery view...
Apple debuted Find My Friends last fall during their iPhone 4S event. Similar to Google's Latitude service, Find My Friends uses GPS and Wi-Fi triangulation to track the locations of its members.
While the platform certainly has potential, it's failed to garner much user-traction thus far. But it appears that Apple is looking to change that in iOS 6, with a new geofencing notification system...
Looking back at it, there was no shortage of announcements during Apple's WWDC keynote on Monday. An all-new MacBook model, major updates to its desktop and mobile operating systems, and a new Maps app — not bad for an afternoon.
But amongst all of the oohs and ahhs of the new products and updates, there was one particular announcement that sort of flew under the radar. According to Apple, it now has more than 400 million active credit card-linked iTunes accounts...
No matter how long you've been an iOS user, chances are you've come across Temple Run at one point or another. The game, known for its addictive gameplay, is currently ranked #47 on the App Store's list of top grossing apps.
Well, it seems like Disney is looking to cash in on that popularity. Temple Run: Brave was released in the App Store last night. And as the name suggests, it's a remake of the popular title using content from Pixar's new film...
After nearly 9 months of waiting, the highly-anticipated update to Reeder, arguably the most popular Google Reader client around, is finally here. The update brings the application to version 3.0.
The major revision includes a subtle UI redesign and a laundry list of new, and much-needed, features like feed management and multi-account support. Keep reading for a full list of the changes...
Forget the announcements regarding the new Retina display MacBook Pro, OSX Mountain Lion and other non-mobile related products. According to Twitter, iOS 6 was the hottest topic of Apple's WWDC keynote.
Simply Measured, a social media research firm, analyzed more than 150,000 tweets on Monday with the #WWDC hashtag. And it found that out of all of Apple's big announcements, iOS 6 was the most popular...
Instacast is by far and wide considered to be the best podcast client for iOS. It allows you to download and organize your favorite podcasts and video podcasts, without ever having to open iTunes.
Well it looks like the best just got better today. Instacast version 2.1 is out in the App Store, and the update includes a fresh coat of paint, and several other nice enhancements and bug fixes...
Microsoft has rolled out an update for its My Xbox LIVE application today, bringing the software to version 1.5. The update brings high-resolution images to Retina iPad users, and some cool new features to the iPhone.
The most notable addition is the ability for iPhone owners to use the app to control their Xbox 360 consoles. The functionality will allow them to control on-screen content (play, stop, etc.) right from their handsets...
Contrary to popular belief (in certain circles), Apple isn't perfect. Among its many hit products like the iPhone or the iPad, and popular software releases like iOS, there has been a few failures.
Ping, the company's music-focused social networking service, certainly falls into that category. It's just never really gained much user-traction. And rumor has it, it's on its way out...
Brace yourselves, another gem has been discovered among the changes in iOS 6. It seems that after two years of neglect, the operating system's shutdown spinner has finally received the Retina treatment.
Now, in most cases, the resolution of a shutdown graphic isn't anything to fuss about. But for a company like Apple, who is known for its attention to detail, the upgraded icon is somewhat noteworthy...
T-Mobile may be the only major carrier in the U.S. that doesn't officially offer the iPhone, but you wouldn't know that by watching its PR departement. The company continues to find its way into Apple news.
Earlier this year, the operator announced that it was going to be launching an iPhone-friendly network by the end of 2012. Last week it confirmed it would be showing off that network at WWDC. And now...
