Moga announced this morning that its first (and subsequently the first to market) iOS 7-compatible game controller is now available for purchase. It's called the 'Ace Power' and it works with the iPhone 5, 5c, 5s and the latest iPod touch.
The controller features an enclosed design, meaning it fits around your iPhone or iPod. It plugs into the Lightning port, and features a d-pad, dual analog sticks, 4 action buttons and triggers, a headphone jack, and can charge your device...
Do you have an old iPhone that has suffered light water damage, but still works just fine? Looking to trade it in towards the purchase of a newer model? Well up until now, you couldn't do that at an Apple Store. But that might be changing soon.
According to a new report from 9to5Mac, Apple will be relaxing its water damage restrictions for iPhone trade-ins this week. The site says that the trade-in value for handsets will no longer be affected by the device's Liquid Contact Indicators...
Apple is one of the of the largest [non-utility] clean energy generating companies in the country. According to a report from March of this year, it's achieved 100% renewable energy in all of its data centers, and 75% in corporate buildings.
Of course, its crown jewels are the solar panel and biogas fuel cell farms that run its Maiden, North Carolina data center—two of the largest of their kind in the US. And a recent report from GigaOM takes a closer look at these NC facilities...
This week's episode is all about the iPad mini with Retina display. We discuss the Retina iPad mini's launch, our order and pickup experiences, and our initial thoughts on the newest device to join the iOS family. We also talk about Apple's rumored PrimeSense acquisition, and a variety of other hot topics involving everyone's favorite fruit company.
The iPad mini may still be somewhat hard to come by depending on your configuration, but at least Apple's other flagship device is improving when it comes to availability. Last week, we reported that iPhone 5s availability had improved to 1-2 weeks, which was good in itself; but today's 3-5 day availability is the best we've seen thus far, and bodes well for anyone wishing to snag an iPhone 5s in the short term.
As you’ll hear me recount on the upcoming episode of Let’s Talk iOS, I had to go through quite a lot to get my hands on the iPad mini with Retina display that I desired. The model, a Space Grey 32GB Cellular version with a bundled T-Mobile sim, proved to be a pretty tough get.
But I finally did get my iPad mini, and I’ve been able to spend the last few days truly analyzing the device, and analyzing whether or not the time I invested into acquiring it was worth the hassle.
You’ve likely read plenty of other reviews that pretty much spout off the same thing. Yes, the mini now has an awesome screen, has the same guts as the iPad Air, and it did so by compromising some of its thinness. So what’s the end result? Is this a good product? Will it go down as the best iPad ever? I share my thoughts inside.

AlarmControl is a recently released jailbreak tweak that's perfect for those of you who use multiple alarm clocks. I use a few alarms when there's something extremely important that I have to wake up for, such as a new iPhone or iPad release. I know that sounds a bit ridiculous, but that's the truth of the matter.
At any rate, this new jailbreak tweak allows you to disable or enable all of the alarm clocks configured in the stock Clock app. Have a look inside at our video walkthrough to see how easy it is to use.
The iPhone 5c originally received a lot of attention due to the new form factor, lower price, and colorful addition to the otherwise black and white iPhone line up. Now, it seems the 5s is getting most of the attention as the new flagship handheld device.
Even iDB focuses primarily on the high end hardware, but today we recenter. Thanks to a few contacts in the right places, we are excited to announce an iPhone 5c specific giveaway to our readers. Take a look past the fold for the grab bag goodies going to one winner and enter for your chance to win...
Some people question Carl Icahn's motives and wonder what if the billionaire activist investor will stop at nothing in order to push Apple into burying itself in debt, just to fund his massive $150 billion stock buyback proposal so he could put a nice little profit into his pocket.
I'm not afraid of Icahn, but understand why some watchers are. And rightfully so, as Icahn is notorious for pushing for CEO and board room changes to have his way, often with little regard for a company's well being afterwards. So, what's the size of Icahn's investment in Apple, does he have a leverage over Tim Cook and what exactly is he up to?

As is the norm with new OS releases, while these things tend to address complaints and issues from the previous version they frequently introduce new ones as well.

This past Friday, the company supplied its registered Mac developers with the first beta release of what would become the OS X 10.9.1 software update. The software focuses on graphics enhancements and is said to squash the remaining Mail bugs...
