Verizon seems to be really motivated to hit their goal of 175 markets using LTE technology by the end of this year. The carrier announced 19 new markets and 2 new cities a little over a week ago, and is now announcing even more coverage.
Verizon issued a press release yesterday stating that they plan to add another 13 markets by July 21 of this year. Though there are still plenty of bugs to be ironed out, Big Red's LTE network is without a doubt leading the 4G race in the United States...
Hot off the heels of yesterday's rumor from BGR that pegged an August announcement for the next iPhone, Bloomberg has decided to enter the rumor mill and back up previous reports that put the next gen iPhone's release at a September date.
Among a September release, Bloomberg corroborates other reports that Apple's next iPhone will not, in fact, be a "radical" redesign of the iPhone 4, but instead a mere hardware boost.
TrickSlide is yet another entry into the TweakWeek series of iPhone jailbreak tweaks. Although the name may sound cunning and cutting edge, at the end of the day, this is nothing more than a glorified WinterBoard theme, without actually having to use WinterBoard.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but this same functionality can, and has been easily accomplished in the past by use of clever WinterBoard theming.
All that TrickSlide aims to do is to hide your "Slide to Unlock" nub on your iPhone's lock screen; nothing more, nothing less...
Apple's new firmware won't be officially available for another few months, but that hasn't stopped the jailbreak community from experimenting with the beta release. We've seen several iOS 5 Notification Center widgets over the last few weeks, but there's always room for more.
The latest jailbreak tweak to surface for the new iOS is called QuickComposer. The widget allows you to access the composition screen of different applications with a single tap...
I have a friend who works at Radio Shack. He sells a lot of AT&T iPhones to customers and recently had a humorous story to share with me.
A woman entered the store and angrily asked for a sales associate. My friend responded to her, and asked her what the issue was. She held up her brand new iPhone 4 that she had purchased the week before, and proceeded to complain that she had been ripped off.
She explained that she had paid for an iPhone 4, but that's not what she was given. She demanded that since she paid for the newest iPhone, the store should exchange the one she had for a true iPhone 4...
Display Recorder is a wonderful jailbreak app by Ryan Petrich for creating a video recording of your iPhone's screen. Some users, however, have been having problems creating new recordings and have seen Error Code 0 or 2. As far as I can tell, the issue is related to the way that Display Recorder stores files in the file system to circumvent ASLR obstacles and the permissions that iTunes applies to them during backup restores.
It seems that the only users affected by these errors are those who recently restored from an iTunes backup or upgraded/downgraded their firmware. Luckily, the fix is pretty simple and can be done in under ten minutes...
The folks at Rovio are back with yet another Angry Birds title. Angry Birds Seasons "Summer Pignic" is the latest installment of the famed franchise that's set to drop very soon.
As you eagerly anticipate more addictive gameplay from Angry Birds, you can watch this teaser trailer!
Though the Apple TV2 is doing much better than its predecessor, ATV2 sales are anything but spectacular compared to Apple's other products. The device has been labeled by Apple as "just a hobby," but there is new evidence suggesting that the Cupertino company may be starting to get serious about taking over our living rooms.
Daily Tech is reporting that they have heard on good authority that Apple is looking to replace the Apple TV line this fall with an entirely new product. Their source, a former Apple executive, is claiming that soon we will be able to walk into an Apple store, and walk out with a TV set...
ASB or Always Show Battery, is a jailbreak tweak that aims at targeting a specific demographic of jailbreakers.
You know who you are; you're the same ones who ask me how each and every tweak that we review impacts battery life.
It never fails; no matter how small or insignificant the tweak is, I always have at least one person ask me how it impacts the lifespan of their battery.
This post is dedicated to you, battery watchmen. ASB is a jailbreak tweak made specifically with you in mind...
Apple's iTunes Match service could be a hit after one analyst claimed the service could be utilized by around 30% of iPhone users.
The study carried out by RBC Capital Markets' Mike Abramsky asked iPhone users how likely they were to fork out the $24.99 subscription required to use Apple's iTunes Match service. The results point to 10% 'very likely' to sign up with a further 20% 'somewhat likely'.
Things get interesting when Abramsky points out that 30% of all iOS devices sold could bring in an estimated $1.5 billion of extra revenue for Apple...
So we've already shown you how to charge your iPhone over a campfire with a cooking pot, now let's look at something a little less flammable (maybe). The Orange Sound Charge is a t-shirt that actually doubles as an iPhone charger.
The folks over at TiPb discovered this interesting Orange prototype that combines innovative technology in a wearable accessory. The Sound Charge actually uses ambient noise to give your iPhone battery life. Hit the jump for a video of it in action...
Apple's iPhone 4 has now overtaken the Nikon D90, Canon 5D Mark II, Canon Digital Rebel XSi and Canon REBEL T1i to become the most popular camera among Flickr users. While it may not necessarily produce the best photos, the overwhelming popularity of the device — coupled with its convenience — make it the most popular camera available right now.
The iPhone 4 has been rapidly climbing the Flickr graphs for some time, and back in April, it was predicted the device would nab the top spot from the Nikon D90 within a month. It took a little while longer, but now it has achieved what no other smartphone has...
