Just like we reported a couple weeks ago, AT&T has started offering 2 extra GB of data to anyone with the tethering plan, which is tied to AT&T's DataPro plan.
The tethering plan will remain at $20/month and DataPro will also keep the same pricing of $25/month. In short, you get more for the same price...
tw.Apple.pro, a Taiwanese website that has a pretty good track record of publishing leaked information about Apple products, claims today that Cupertino has been evaluating 3 different hardware prototypes of the iPhone 5, one of them including a slideout keyboard.
A second prototype apparently would be what the iPhone 3GS was to the iPhone 3G: a similar-looking but improved model. This version of the iPhone 5 would be the same as the iPhone 4, but would have a bigger battery and an improved camera lens...
If you've been patiently waiting for iOS 4.3, this might come as a good or bad news, depending on how you look at it. If that's any indication of the future iOS 4.3 release, the fine folks of this German website came across information that suggests Apple's latest iOS might be available to the general public on February 28.
This speculation is based on the fact that The Daily iPad app which was having a free trial until today, extended their trial period to February 28. Because The Daily is supposed to come on a subscription model which will be only available on iOS 4.3, it is safe to believe this firmware will come out on or around 2/28/11...
Another day, another reason to jailbreak your iPhone if you haven't already. The latest tweak is called PhoneHint. PhoneHint lets you do a quick contact search right inside the iPhone dialer.
Here's how it works. Simply, swipe left to right over the dialer’s number display to select the right contact, then double tap to select the number. I can see this tweak saving me lots of time, especially when I'm rummaging through my Recent Calls list trying to find the right contact. PhoneHint does not add any new icons to your homescreen and can be configured from the Settings app.
I don't believe there's one feature on the iPhone that angers me as much as auto correct. It's always misinterpreting what I'm trying to type, usually with ridiculous results.
Auto correct on the iPhone will turn a phrase like "Let's go have lunch" into "Keep on step eagle." I know, that makes no sense whatsoever, and that's my point.
Fortunately for us, the jailbreak community has had enough of this utter nonsense as well, as evident by the release of ManualCorrect...
Rumors regarding the mysterious "iPhone Nano" have been surfacing everywhere lately. Speculation started gaining some traction last week, with a report from Bloomberg saying that Apple has been working on a smaller and cheaper version of the iPhone.
The Wall Street Journal recently corroborated and added some details to Bloomberg's report. According to the WSJ, the "iPhone Nano" will be considerably smaller than the current iPhone and heavily rely on Apple's MobileMe service.
More rumors have emerged regarding the iPhone Nano...
When it was released a little over a week ago, the GreenPois0n jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 came with a nice surprise: animated boot logos. We already saw how to add an animated boot logo to your iPhone, and today, we're going to see how to remove this custom logo.
This is a fairly easy process which will require about a minute of your time, depending on how fast Cydia loads for you at the moment...
Did you know that the iPhone had a "Safe Mode?" Safe Mode on the iPhone has been apart of jailbreaking for years now, but many people still don't understand it. If your iPhone is jailbroken, Safe Mode will be invoked when MobileSubstrate (the Cydia support framework) crashes.
Desktop operating systems, like Windows and Mac OS X, have had a "Safe Mode" for a long time. On the desktop, safe mode is used for removing corrupted processes that may be causing the operating system to not function properly.
The iPhone has a "Safe Mode" for that exact same reason. A simple Cydia app called "Safe Mode Launcher" allows you to invoke the iPhone's Safe Mode with one tap. Let's take a look...
Last week, we reported on a new rumor that Apple was working on a smaller and cheaper version of the iPhone (aka iPhone Nano) to increase market share against Google's Android handsets. Today, the Wall Street Journal confirms that according to their sources, Apple is indeed working on a less pricey version of the iPhone.
The Wall Street Journal claims that the new, smaller iPhone will be available “at about half the price of Apple’s main line of iPhones.” The smaller iPhone is said to be sold alongside Apple’s main line of phones, which will provide consumers with more options.
The report also mentions that this new iPhone will be significantly lighter and will have an “edge-to-edge” screen, along with voice-based navigation for Maps. WSJ's source also claims that Apple plans to upgrade the iPhone 4 as well.
It's happened to all of us, we're in a store, we see something, or some piece of information that we'd like to use later, and so we take a picture of it with our phone.
That's okay and all, but the problem starts to appear when you have more random note-taking pictures than actual pictures that you plan on keeping in your Camera Roll.
I know I've found myself having to perform a search and rescue mission for my real pictures amongst the massive amounts of random litter on plenty of occasions, maybe you suffer from this syndrome as well?
That's why a jailbreak app like QuickSnap seemed so appealing to me; it's described as "simple photo taking without saving." Does it live up to its claims?
Creating a good task manager app is not an easy feat. I'm fascinated by innovative productivity apps (check out our roundup of 5 awesome task managers for the iPhone), and I get excited when I hear about a new, unique task management app.
99% of task managers serve the purpose of either the present or the future. Some apps go super minimal and only let you create tasks for a single, non-time specific list. Other more robust apps allow you to queue and delegate your tasks into time frames such as due dates.
But what about the past? When a task is done, it is usually archived into a logbook, never to be seen again. "Time Flies," by Absent Design, demonstrates that there is value to be gleamed from our completed tasks...
I've always believed that the iPhone's most frustrating issues surrounded around composing long messages or filling out exceptionally long forms. Not only is the auto correct particularly troublesome, but I find myself from time to time typing uppercase letters when I meant to type lowercase, and lowercase letters when I meant to type upper case.
It's a particularly frustrating affair culminated by the fact that Apple has decided to keep uppercase letters on their keyboard's keys regardless of your actual case. That's where a tweak like ShowCase comes in handy...
