In another step toward killing the PC, Apple's iOS 5 now allows users to set up the company's own Time Capsule and Airport hardware, according to an AppleInsider reader.
Until now, setting up either of Apple's networking solutions required a PC, but once iOS 5 is released later this year, users will be able to get online with nothing more than an iPod touch...
BGR has reported that an unproven source has knowledge that Apple has had recent discussions of purchasing Barnes & Noble. This might seem odd at first, but it would be a good move. Apple would be able to use Barnes & Noble's expansive collection of eBooks for their iBooks store.
Back when Apple first announced AirPlay, we all got so excited about being able to throw audio and video from our various iDevices right onto a television or audio system using an Apple TV.
The problem is, not all apps support the technology, which is a crying shame indeed. Thankfully, there is one way to get around most iOS apps' lack of implementation and force these apps to use AirPlay...
Are you sick and tired of your iPhone's status bar? Perhaps you think it unfairly claims too many pixels on your iPhone's screen?
If you feel that way, then you might think that a jailbreak tweak like No Status would appeal to you. After all, it does allow you to completely remove the status bar from your iPhone.
But it's this functionality that raises an issue far more important than a few pixels lost. You see, No Status doesn't actually claim the lost space back; true it makes your status bar disappear, but you don't get those pixels back; even worse, it interferes with Activator status bar swipe actions...
More rumors are circulating today that Apple is getting ready to launch a new, cheaper iPad later this year, with three new hardware partners joining the manufacturing chain.
The ever sometimes reliable DigiTimes believes that the three new partners have been brought on board to help drop the manufacturing costs of the next iPad, with Apple aiming to compete with a lower price point than its current model....
The eagerly anticipated worldwide release of the BBC's iPlayer iPad app has arrived, but if you're outside a selection of 11 countries, you'll have to wait a little longer.
The app, which will need an accompanying subscription, is currently available in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland, with the United States being added later in the year.
As with so many things, licensing is being blamed for the delay in bringing Dr Who and co. to the States...
A new report from Nielsen says that Apple is the number one smartphone vendor in the US, while Android remains the most popular mobile operating system. This research follows Apple's last earnings call, in which it was announced that 20 million iPhones were sold in the last business quarter.
Following Apple's dominance in the US is, surprisingly, Motorola. Samsung actually placed third, with both Motorola and Samsung owning a huge percentage of the Android market. Essentially, Apple moves more hardware while Android gets installed on more handsets.
RomanBadge, a recently released tweak on Cydia's Big Boss repo, allows you to add some old school flavor to your iPhone's Home screen.
Though it's highly unlikely you've been searching for a way to change your app badge numbers into those of the first century superpower variety, it is an interesting alternative to the norm.
While admittedly, this tweak won't appeal to everyone, the following video might be enough to convince you to give it a shot...
Take this one with a huge grain of salt, but TechCrunch is reporting that it's received leaked shots of a "light version of the iPhone 4." These pictures of what looks very much like a jailbroken iPhone 4 come from Tinhte, and TechCrunch makes the point that Tinhte got a white iPhone 4 prototype right with a leaked video back in April.
This iPhone 4 prototype is made of a cheaper build quality, and it matches up pretty well with a couple iPhone 5 case leaks that we reported on yesterday. However, the device doesn't seem to be any smaller than the current iPhone 4...
It's a rare occurrence when a really good app with cloud sync comes out for the iPhone, iPad and Mac. Notefile, by Junecloud, is lightweight notebook that syncs your notes between your iPhone, iPad, and even your Mac.
The great thing about Notefile is that it's super minimal— there are literally no settings to customize. All you have to do is login with a free Junecloud ID to start syncing your notes across your devices. It just works!
Apple is no stranger to finding fakes of its products being sold around the globe. Hell, there's even been entire Apple stores cloned.
Thankfully, the latest iPhone look-a-like isn't actually trying to be an iPhone at all, but we're fairly sure you couldn't guess what it actually is, at least from the front. This overly-thick iPhone-wannabe is actually a personal cooling device, or fan to you and me...
Yesterday Apple was granted 14 new US patents. Four of them covered the designs for the MacBook Air, Apple TV Remote, iPhone 3G/3GS models, and their battery charger.
The first patent was for the newly refreshed MacBook Air, which could mean bad news for Asus their newly-released UX21 laptop that strongly resembled Apple's thinnest notebook...
