Yesterday we reported on a memo from Russell Cellular, a third-party Verizon retailer that mentioned something about a 64GB iPhone. Most of us got very excited at the idea of more storage on the iPhone. "Finally, I'm going to be able to store all my music on my iPhone", I said to myself.
It seems that we got our hopes too high for this as Russell Cellular confirmed it was just a typo, as we kind of expected. Disappointed much?
Earlier this month we reported on the return of a Cydia alternative known as Icy to the jailbreak scene. The renewed package installer came out swinging with a quick and simple user interface, as well as the ability to add all of your favorite sources.
From the same folks that brought you Icy, comes Installer 4.0. The Infini-Dev team posted on their blog yesterday that they had successfully ported Installer to iOS 4.3.3, let the nostalgia and deja vu begin...
Do you remember the iPhone 3Gi that the Onion joked about a few months ago? The "i" stood for "invisible" as the Onion staff were mocking the iPhone which they thought would one day become invisible. Believe it or not but an invisible iPhone might be available one day, according to a research project carried out by a few German researchers.
The project, dubbed Imaginary iPhone, allows you to use your iPhone without even taking it out of your pocket. So how does this work exactly?
According to DigiTimes, Apple is looking into introducing curved glass screens in future iPhones. The technology isn't new, and Apple itself has been using this for their iPod Nano line for a while now, so they do have experience with the design and manufacturing process.
Because it is so expensive and risky to make curved glass screens, a lot of manufacturers simply don't do it. Instead of relying on manufacturers for that, Apple, who's sitting on a huge pile of cash, has been heavily investing in its own 200-300 glass cutting machines to be used by glass makers...
As the industry tries to reach some sort of consensus on when Apple will release the next generation iPhone 5, another report affirms the growing possibility of a September launch.
Famed analyst, Gene Munster, has offered the most logical explanation to date for an iPhone 5 announcement this fall. We've already heard analyst after analyst claim varying ship dates and reasons for a certain time frame, but Munster's reasoning seems the most legitimate...
Spam emails are circulating that pose as Apple trying to sell new products, including the rumored iPhone 5. According to MacRumors, several reports have come in that talk of an "iPhone 5GS" product launch in a very Apple-like email.
Apple's products have always been used in spam and advertising to get click-throughs, but this round of spam sets itself apart with its striking resemblance to Apple's own design. If you've ever received an email from Apple, you'll notice how similar these spam messages are to the legit ones from Cupertino...
If you've got a remote control car, helicopter or airplane, listen up. The iPhly allows you to ditch the bulky and expensive R/C equipment for something more portable, like your iPhone.
We've seen remote control accessories before, but they only work with accompanying vehicles. iPhly actually has the ability to control anything from airplanes to RC cars that you already own. How does it work?
Though it isn't a secret that Apple is planning on launching their rumored "iCloud" service at WWDC next month, it still is just speculation. The Cupertino company has been fairly silent regarding the upcoming project.
But if you look at the trail of petabyte purchases and music industry leaks, it's not hard to figure out what's going on. As more details emerge on Apple's quest to acquire licenses for their new service, evidence seems stronger than ever that iCloud is WWDC-bound...
When the iPhone's consolidated tracking file was first revealed last month, it took the jailbreak community 24 hours to respond. The day after the story broke, Ryan Petrich released a free Cydia tweak that would clear the iPhone's location history.
But if untrackerd and Apple's own iOS 4.3.3 update haven't dismissed your fears of big brother following your every move, Cydia once again has a solution for you. For all the folks wearing aluminum foil hats out there, here's Footprintz...
If you were a fan of the movie Training Day, you'll love Gameloft's upcoming iOS title. The aptly-named 9mm promises to set itself apart from other open-world shooters.
Instead of the typical protagonist that runs around doing evil deeds for underground thugs, the main character appears to be a street savvy cop. Sound interesting? Hit the jump for the 9mm teaser trailer...
As the suspected launch date for the next iPhone draws near, the rumors continue to pile up. Here is another one to add to the pile.
In several memos from Verizon, a rumor leaked of possible capacities for the next iPhone. The memo mentioned 32 and 64GB capacities. The 32GB version would obviously be the same size as the larger of the current models, but the 64 would be new...
Whenever we turn our phones sideways, the display changes orientation. This is common iPhone knowledge. These sensors track where we are, what direction we're moving in, and even which way we're holding our phone. But is this all they're capable of?
Benedetto Vigna, GM of the MEMS division of STMicroelectronics, recently said that we could expect the production of new types of sensors. Sensors will now not only be able to track location and direction, but also elevation.
Even better, there could possibly be sensors that monitor aspects of the human body. Heart rates, moods, and the like will now be monitored by sensors that could possibly be contained within our phones, or communicate with them...
