I've said before that I felt like AirPlay Mirroring was one of the most underrated features of iOS 5. The ability to wirelessly stream content from the device to a TV seemed like an open invitation for iOS developers to create console-esque games.
We've seen a couple of big name titles take advantage of this, but perhaps none of them showcases the feature's potential better than Cerebral Gardens' recently-released Party Doodles...
It's pretty obvious that we love our iPhones here at iDB. But we understand the handset can be a bit pricey. So we do our best to try and pass along any deals we find regarding the device.
The latest sale we've come across belongs to Best Buy. The international retail chain is currently offering the iPhone 4, on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint, for just $49.99 with a contract...
This 7-inch iPad seems to be becoming more and more real by the week. Not only has the device been confirmed by industry insiders and other credible sources, but part suppliers are now receiving orders from Apple to build the thing.
Makotakara passes along a report from The Liberty Times, a publication that the site describes as "one of the top four major Taiwan news media," regarding the purported 'iPad Mini.' And it appears that Apple is moving forward with plans to produce the smaller tablet...
While iPhone 4S owners in the U.S. enjoy a host of location-based Siri functions, folks outside the country are out of luck. Try going to the UK and asking Siri where the nearest McDonalds is, and you're sure to get shot down.
But as usual, the jailbreak community has figured out a way to make up for Apple's shortcomings. A new AssistantExtensions plugin, International Locations for Siri, allows you to perform location-based searches abroad...
Until Apple gives the App Store a much-needed redesign, its lists of the top 25 most downloaded paid and free apps are going to remain the most popular ways users use to discover new titles.
Developers know that making these lists can substantially boost their app's popularity. But just how many downloads does it take for an app to get there? TechCrunch has the answer...
A few months ago, a New York man by the name of Frank M. Fazio filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple over its voice assistant, claiming that the company's Siri TV ads were misleading of its capabilities. A similar suit popped up a few weeks later.
Apple, obviously, doesn't agree. And it feels that if a customer isn't happy with Siri — which is still labeled as Beta, mind you — or the iPhone 4S itself, then he or she is more than welcome to return the handset within 30 days for a refund...
Bad news for folks with unlimited data plans on Verizon looking to buy Apple's new [purported] LTE-flavored iPhone later this year. It appears that the carrier won't be honoring grandfathered unlimited plans in the switch to LTE.
Fierce Wireless is reporting that customers on the Big Red network will be forced to choose from a data-share plan when moving from a 3G handset to an LTE one. The news comes straight from Verizon's CFO Fran Shammo...
Even though the Android platform sits on top of several major smartphone categories — marketshare, hardware specs, etc. — there's one list that it can't seem to climb: customer satisfaction. That particular stat belongs to iOS.
The iPhone has taken home more than 6 J.D. Power Satisfaction awards, and countless other smaller surveys. And it just added another notch to its belt, coming in first in the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index report...
To say that China is an important territory for Apple and its smartphone is an understatement. The country is home to more than a billion cell phone users, and the market is currently dominated by Android and other platforms.
That's because the iPhone has only been available in mainland China for a few months now, and the handset has yet to land on its largest carrier: China Mobile. But according to Reuters, that may not be the case for long...
Sony's biopic of late Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs is shaping up to be quite a film — much better than the indie flick that Ashton Kutcher is starring in.
Not only does the studio own the rights to Jobs' widely-popular biography, but Variety is reporting that it has just tapped Aaron Sorkin to write the script for the movie...
So this is pretty big news: The Verge is reporting that it has learned that shipments of HTC's One X and Evo 4G LTE handsets have been indefinitely delayed at US Customs due to an import ban order handed down by the ITC last year.
The International Trade Commission ruled last December that HTC was infringing upon an Apple patent regarding the auto-hyperlinking of phone numbers and other data in text, resulting in a country-wide ban of HTC's products...
There's no shortage of iPhone-controlled vehicles on the market these days. We've seen cars, helicopters, robots, and even tiny spheres that can be controlled with Apple's handset. But we've never seen anything look this good.
The folks over at iHelicopters.net, yes, the makers of the rocket-launching Cobra copter, just informed us that they've got a new lineup of iPhone-controlled RC cars out that we wouldn't want to miss. And they were right...
