Like every Sunday, we get to take a look at some of the most popular posts that were published on iDB during the week that just ended. Whether it is a news item, a new jailbreak tweak, a tutorial, or an app review, we sum it all up in one convenient place for you.
This week's edition of our Apps of the Week roundup features an easy-to-use photo editor, a social news app and a habit-tracker. And as always, we've selected two great new games for you to check out.
One of the best things about electronic books and textbooks is that you can mark them up. Rather than a physical book that you rent or buy and want to sell later, with books on your iPad, you can make notes and highlight important points. Plus, you can read wherever you go with your device.
Here are the best apps to read and annotate PDF books on iPad.
Apple Watch is a great fitness tracker that, with the right app, can even track your sleep patterns so it's a bit unusual that Apple doesn't offer its own sleep-tracking functionality in the watchOS software. But as indicated by a new patent application published yesterday, it looks like the Cupertino company could be researching sleep monitoring hardware of its own.
In this tutorial, we’ll go over three easy ways to record your iPhone or iPad screen, with either just the internal audio or both internal and external sounds captured by the microphone.
The Steve Jobs Theater pavilion—an underground, 1,000-seat auditorium located on the Apple Park campus and intended for product launches and press meets, has won the prestigious award for Structural Artistry from the Institute of Structural Engineers.
CNN’s Christiane Amanpour talks to Apple’s CEO Tim Cook about his decision to come out as gay, something that isn't just quite brave for CEOs but doesn't happen much in Silicon Valley.
Brian May, the lead guitarist of the British rock band Queen that was fronted by late singer Freddie Mercury, has expressed his disdain for Apple's choice of the USB-C standard over the previous connectors. In his rant, May complained about the USB-C connectors bending too easily. He wrote that we’re now “forced into using these damn USB-C connectors for everything” in yesterday's Instagram post accompanied by a picture of a bent USB-C cable.
Older iPads had Smart Covers, but they don't fit the new iPad Pro models introduced in 2018 so Apple has decided to come up with all-new slim covers for the pro tablet, called Smart Folios.
If you have two HomePods that are paired to create a stereo setup, only one of these HomePods will be used to listen to your voice queries. When saying a command such as "Hey Siri, what time is it in London?", only that HomePod will be listening to you although the other HomePod might be physically closer to you.
As far as I can tell, there is no way to manually select what HomePod is the dominant one during the initial pairing process, but there is a way to swap which one will actively listen to you once the stereo pair has been created.
If you work with people in different time zones, scheduling remote meetings can get difficult. You may be in the eastern time zone, with others in the Pacific, European, or Asian time zones. To make this a bit easier, the Calendar app gives you a way to plan for various locations. Here’s how to add and use time zone support for Calendar events.
At first glance, it might seem like your iPhone has just one volume control that you can change with the volume buttons at the side of the handset, but there are actually nine different volume controls present on your handset.
It can be challenging to discern which volume control you’re adjusting when you press your device’s volume buttons, and so iOS developer midkin just launched a new jailbreak tweak called SmartVolumeMixer to make life a bit easier in this department.
