Have you ever wanted to shoot video or take pictures with your iPhone, while the screen appeared to be off? Me neither, but if you have, then Stealth Cam is the jailbreak tweak for you.
This almost reminds me of those little "spy" toys they used to sell back in the day; you know, things like periscopes, binoculars, etc. But, an iPhone equipped with Stealth Cam is on a whole 'nother level.
Not convinced? Check inside for the video that breaks down Stealth Cam in action...
Hot off the news of Steve Job's 2nd medical leave in as many years, Apple has released its first quarter results, and unsurprisingly, the numbers are quite gaudy.
“We had a phenomenal holiday quarter with record Mac, iPhone and iPad sales,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We are firing on all cylinders and we’ve got some exciting things in the pipeline for this year including iPhone 4 on Verizon which customers can’t wait to get their hands on.”
At 16.24 million sold, the iPhone's numbers represent an 86% growth over the same period last year. The numbers for Apple's other products, were just as impressive...
There's an old saying that goes like this: "There's more than one way to skin a cat." Maybe we should update that saying, and change it to: "There's more than one way to stream video with an iPhone."
The iPhone features no shortage of methods, workarounds, tweaks, and hacks, both official and unofficial, to stream media content from your computer to your iPhone. AirView is the latest such app that allows you to accomplish this ubiquitous task, but this time, Apple's very own AirPlay is the means by which it is accomplished.
Think of AirView as the exact opposite of what AirPlay was intended for. Instead of streaming content from your iPhone to your television, you can now stream content from your computer to your iPhone...
Take the following information with a nice dose of salt. We've all heard these rumors before, but MacRumors is reporting that the mythical white iPhone 4 could see a release as early as next month.
Originally scheduled to launch alongside the black iPhone 4 last summer, the white version has hit stumbling block, upon stumbling block, with still no clear-cut reason for the length of the delay.
Apple has reportedly experienced manufacturing issues with the all white iPhone 4, but it looks like those issues may have been ironed out. That's right, Best Buy's computers are showing the white iPhone 4 SKU, with a release date of February 27th, 2011...
If an Apple TV happens to be among your possessions, then chances are you're a big proponent of AirPlay -- Apple's highly pushed streaming technology.
AirPlay allows you to stream audio or video from your iPhone directly to your Apple TV device. For example, if you're watching a movie on your iPhone and you get tired of the eyestrain from staring at the 3.5 inch screen, you can instantly stream that video directly to your TV if it's hooked up to an Apple TV.
A big problem with AirPlay in its current form is that the streaming is halted when you lock your iPhone. VideoLock is a jailbreak tweak that sets out to eliminate this pesky problem...
Big news coming out of Cupertino today, Steve Jobs has requested, and has been granted a medical leave of absence. Apple's website posted an email that Steve sent out to all Apple employees earlier today. His reasons stated for taking the leave is so that he can "focus on [his] health."
As you may remember, it wasn't too long ago that Steve took a similar leave when he experienced health issues related to his liver, that being almost two years ago to the day...
I admit, I'm not a big fan of custom themes and all that jazz. In my opinion most of the themes that come out look a little on the generic side, but I can understand why some users would be fond of the custom element that it adds to the iPhone.
WinterBoard is the de-facto standard when it comes to adding custom themes to your iPhone, and it's a prerequisite for quite a few of the tweaks that are available on Cydia as well.
One of my main gripes with WinterBoard is the fact that it can interfere with the text on your Home screen. The text for the app names turns into a grey, shadowless, illegible mess as seen in the screenshot above.
To try to remedy this issue, WinterBoard comes with a "White Text Labels" option in its 'Select Themes' section. This helps alleviate the issues surrounding the color of the text, but unfortunately still lacks the shadows that the stock look is known for...
If you're rocking an unlocked phone, it would behoove you to stick to the tried and true suggestions from the Dev Team to stay away from official updates. AT&T has recently started sending out mass text messages urging customers to update to iOS 4.2.
Why would they do this? Since AT&T is already on the cusp of losing quite a few users to Verizon's iPhone once it is released, the company is in a frenzy trying to convince customers to stick with them...
More information is trickling in regarding the new features packed into iOS 4.3 beta, and for fans of AirPlay, it looks like we have a winner.
As you're likely already aware of, Apple significantly gimped the functionality of AirPlay in their iOS 4.2.1 release, only allowing streaming from the iPod and YouTube apps. This led jailbreak developers to release tweaks like AllPlay and AirVideoEnabler to circumvent the lack of 3rd party app support.
The good news is that with iOS 4.3, these tweaks should no longer be necessary...
One of the things that concerns me about the release of the Verizon iPhone 4, is how this anomaly in the iPhone release schedule will change Apple's strategy. Will it change it at all? Will it be business as usual come June 2011? The main group of people that are potentially impacted from this change are current iPhone owners, AT&T customers.
Are we still likely to see the next iteration of the iPhone released this summer, or does this bring significant change to what we've all grown accustomed to over the years?
Now that the Verizon iPhone 4 has been officially unveiled, it was only a matter of time before someone tried to replicate the infamous "death grip" which causes signal degradation to the point of dropped calls. Those issues stemmed from the way the iPhone 4's antenna was designed, which resulted in attenuation issues when holding the device a certain way.
After a few flat out denials and a misguided PR campaign, the situation was dubbed antennagate, after the famous Watergate political scandal of the 70's. Now that Apple has released a revised version of the iPhone 4 in order to meet the compatibility standards of Verizon's CDMA network, were they able to address the antenna issues along the way?
Spotlight is a search technology that you've no doubt become intimately acquainted with if you're a Mac OS X user. For those of you new to the world of Apple, it would be a good idea to become familiar with this extremely handy search tool.
Not only can you search Wikipedia and the rest of the web natively from your iPhone's Home screen, you can also search all of your mail, music, apps, SMS messages, and more.
Take a look inside as we go over the basics of Spotlight search in this latest iPhone Basics tutorial...
