Since the jailbreak community formed sometime in late 2007, we've seen a number of "App Store alternatives." I can think of Icy, Cydia, Rock Your iPhone, and Installer just off the top of my head.
Now it looks like we could soon be adding another option into the mix: iTweak. The new store describes itself as a 'Cydia alternative' where jailbreakers will be available to find all of their favorite tweaks, themes and utilities...
As noted by 9to5Mac, Apple has started airing a new commercial this weekend starring its new iCloud service.
The advert, which does not include any spoken words, does a great job of demonstrating iCloud's capabilities to the not-so-tech-saavy general public...
How many times has this happened to you? You're running late for school, work or another appointment. And about 5 minutes after you've left your house, you realize you've left your iPhone behind. Noooo!
Now for the rest of the day you'll be disconnected from the world. No text messaging, no Facebook, and worst of all — no iDB. But you know, none of this would have happened if you would've had the Wireless Leash Plus...
Apple's handset has been seemingly unstoppable as of late. The company sold more than 37 million iPhones last quarter, making it the top smartphone manufacturer in the world over the three month period.
But what is it about the iPhone that makes it so popular? What sets it apart from the competition? Is it the sleek hardware? Is it the polished operating system? Sure. These are both big factors. But a lot of folks will tell you that it's all about the apps...
We've been talking about Foxconn's new Brazilian factory for several months now. The plant is not only expected to help the manufacturer meet overwhelming demand for iPads and iPhones, but also make the devices cheaper for Latin American customers.
Due to outrageous import taxes, the two-year old iPhone 4 costs a staggering $1000 in Brazil. And the iPhone 4S is nearly $1500. Apple fans in the country are hoping that those prices will drop substantially, now that Foxconn is making them in Brazil...
Have you been looking for a quirky photography accessory for your iPhone? Perhaps a case that looks like an old-school analog camera and has interchangeable lenses?
Well if you answered yes to either of the above questions, then you're going to want to check out Photojojo's new Rangefinder. The accessory gives your iPhone the look and feel of a retro-style camera, while utilizing its cutting-edge picture-taking technology...
So this is pretty interesting. A MobileRead forum poster is claiming that Apple's "FairPlay" iBooks DRM has finally been cracked. The Digital Rights Management has previously kept users from reading purchased iBooks content on non-iOS devices.
This means that, with the appropriate software, users will now be able to essentially "unlock" their iBooks to make them compatible with other devices that recognize the ePub eBook format...
I've heard the expression, "fake it 'til you make it" but this is a bit ridiculous. The Financial Times is reporting that a new trend is starting to catch among China's mobile users — fake iPhone signatures.
I know, an Apple-related knock off in China, big surprise. But this might actually be taking things too far. Apparently users are willing to pay money for services to auto-add 'sent from my iPhone' to all of their messages...
Apple hosted its annual shareholder's meeting yesterday in Cupertino, California. This marked the first time that Tim Cook addressed the company's board and its investors as Apple's CEO.
Topics of the meeting ranged anywhere from Apple's record-breaking quarter last year, to its relationship with Facebook. Those who attended the affair described Cook as witty, knowledgeable, and passionate as he talked about Apple's future...
It looks like Motorola has won another major victory in Germany against Apple today, as reports are coming in that the Cupertino company has been forced to suspend its iCloud push services due to a court injunction.
The two handset-makers have been involved in an ongoing patent war in the country over the last few months, and so far, Motorola has clearly had the upper hand..
For years, the 30-pin charging ports on Apple's mobile devices have gone largely unchanged. This has allowed consumers to use power cables and accessories purchased years ago with newer devices — a rare feature in the mobile industry.
But it looks like Apple might finally be looking to shake things up. iMore is reporting that it has learned that Apple may be getting ready to ditch its old charging/accessory port in favor of a new, smaller micro one...
Even though iOS has seemingly been turned inside out over the past few years, there are still a few easter eggs hidden in the software. Earlier this month we told you about the invisible buttons on the iPad's split keyboard, and now we've come across another little-known feature.
