WinterBoard, the jailbreak application that allows you to customize virtually every design aspect of your iPhone, has been updated with support for iOS 5.
After a week or so of beta testing, saurik has finally worked out all the kinks and made sure that WinterBoard is fully compatible and stable when running on iOS 5...
Siri is obviously the breakout feature in Apple's latest handset. Love it or hate it, you can't deny that it's a crowd pleaser (when the servers are up). Even the critics that say that the system is too limited right now, but we all have to agree that Siri has some great potential.
The potential lies with third party developers. Currently Siri can't launch apps or perform tasks inside third party applications, but it's coming. And the folks behind the popular task manager Remember The Milk are leading the way...
MacRumors has made an interesting find in iOS 5. Apple has enabled a toggle for iTunes Match in the Music section of the Settings app.
Also, an iTunes Match page has been added to the iTunes Store on the desktop. Apple has said that it plans to launch iTunes Match in the US by the end of the month...
Facebook Messenger has quickly become one of my favorite apps for the iPhone. Before Apple released iOS 5 and iMessage to the public, Facebook Messenger was my client of choice to communicate with my friends scattered around the world.
The problem was that most of my friends overseas couldn't use the application. It seems that this is not an issue anymore, as Facebook has brought support for 12 additional languages, and is releasing the app in many more countries...
Right before Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S on October 4th, The Next Web published a story where they claimed the new iPhone would have "more definitive GPS features." Turns out they were right, even though it hasn't been officially confirmed.
I don't know if you've noticed, but location services on the iPhone 4S are sharper than ever. That's because Apple added support for some Russian technology to the mix...
Yesterday we reported that Apple had released iOS 4.4.1 for the Apple TV. Unfortunately, minutes after pushing the update, many users reported that the new software was actually "bricking" their device, which let Apple to pull the plug and stop the release of 4.4.1.
It seems that Apple has fixed the issue and has started pushing iOS 4.4.1 for Apple TV again late last night...
It's just been announced that the iPhone 4S will be available on a fourth US carrier, and no, it's not T-Mobile. Oddly enough, C Spire Wireless, formerly known as Cellular South, will be launching Apple's next smartphone soon.
C Spire will join AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint as an iPhone partner in the US. T-Mobile remains left out in the cold...
Apple held a conference call yesterday, shortly after announcing its Q4 financial results.
The results made interesting reading, with Apple falling just short of the expected revenue figure of $29.41 billion, making a not-inconsiderable $28.3 billion instead.
The iPhone sold just 17.1 million units against the expected 22 million. But why such a difference between the two numbers, when the iPhone usually sells so strongly? According to Apple Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer, the rumor mill is to blame...
Ever since the passing of Steve Jobs on October 5, Apple has been asking people to email their personal memories and favorite quotes of the Apple co-founder to rememberingsteve@apple.com. We didn't really know at the time what Apple intended to do with the emails once they received them, but the company has now launched a "Remembering Steve" tribute page, containing the messages they received.
Housed at apple.com/SteveJobs, the webpage features a scrolling list of the messages sent in by Apple fans and customers, along with a short introduction urging people to continue adding to the messages already received...
Caught up in all of the hoopla about the iPhone 4S and iOS 5 was the release of an updated iWork suite for iOS.
The new iWork features iCloud syncing compatibility, a feature that has been in beta for months, but was finally released to the public last week.
Inside, we showcase iWork's new cloud syncing functionality, which allows you to sync documents on your iPod touch, iPad, iPhone, and even your Mac in limited fashion...
The iPhone is easily the most recognized smartphone in the world. As most of you know, the iPhone 4S is well on its way to becoming the fastest selling consumer device in history. Not bad for only being in the business for 4 years.
With that in mind, MacRumors points to an interesting video by the folks over at CNET UK. The clip takes a look at Apple's popular handset, and all of the people and technology that have been involved in making it what it is today...
Normally, I don't like to combine coverage of multiple jailbreak tweaks in a single post, but this go 'round, it was definitely appropriate.
BatteryCenter is a free iOS 5 Notification Center widget, which brings battery stats directly to iOS 5's convenient pull down menu. PowerCenter Pro is the upgraded version of BatteryCenter, and it features additional options not found in its free version.
Both widgets are created by the same developer, and can be downloaded from Cydia. How do they stack up? Check inside for the video lowdown of each tweak...
