Folks, it looks like the 'iPhone 4s' naming designation is indeed the real deal. Just a few minutes ago, Chronic posted an image of new OtterBox packaging that includes the iPhone 4S naming designation printed on the box.
Given Chronic's (real name: Will Strafach) history of posting accurate rumors, we advise you all to start getting used to calling the next iPhone an iPhone 4S...
What's better than an expensive app going on sale? An expensive app going free. That's exactly what has happened with the popular photo editing app Snapseed. The utility is normally $4.99, but is now currently available for free.
The app, made by Nik Software, was named iTunes App of the Week last month, and has a rating of 4.5 stars out of nearly 700 ratings. Want to see what Snapseed can do? Hit the jump to find out more about the app...
Instagram, the service that describes itself as "a fast, beautiful, and fun way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures," is coming up on its one year anniversary. The service is also approaching the 10 million user mark.
Perhaps the even bigger news (at least for us as users) is that the 6-man team pushed out a major update for its popular iPhone app today. Instagram 2.0 offers a host of new features, including 4 new filters to help unleash your inner hipster...
Looking for a way to enhance your SMS experience, but apps and tweaks like biteSMS or SMSPlus fail to meet your needs? If so, perhaps it's time to go beyond SMS.
Indeed, BeyondSMS is a jailbreak tweak for the iPhone that integrates tightly with the stock SMS app, providing things like hidden message capability and live camera wallpaper. Take a look inside for a full video synopsis...
SBPhoto is a recently released jailbreak app, that lends you the convenience of adding a photo bookmark directly to your Home screen. Maybe there's one photo that you're always showing off, and you need to access it quickly? SBPhoto can hook you up.
By processing the snapshot through SBPhoto, you'll end up with an miniaturized representation of your photo on your Home screen as an app icon. Upon tapping that icon, it'll open a Safari instance, and then link you to that awesome photo of your cat doing the four legged splits, or whatever other bizarre behavior your cat likes to engage in...
Those folks over at 9to5Mac are at it again. After single handedly revealing the unannounced iOS 5 Nuance and Siri features, they have uncovered another secret project that Apple is working on.
Apparently, the Cupertino company is looking to release an application that would turn your iDevice into a digital scanner. Patent filings have suggested its interest in such an app, but 9to5Mac got the skinny from a source inside Apple...
Photographers are a finicky bunch. Always editing and always changing images until they get them just right.
Adobe's Photoshop is used for all the heavy lifting, but more and more people are just using an iPhone to take the shots in the first place. We already know just how popular a camera the iPhone 4 is, and that's only going to improve with the release of the iPhone 5.
A new app from FlyingCarLTD aims to help budding photographers and professionals alike, by making the importing of iDevice photos into Photoshop as easy as possible. It's so easy in fact, that you don't even need to think about it...
We know, you're getting sick of the iPhone rumors, too. However, bear with us for a second.
The above photo of delicious sushi was taken on an iPhone 5. Not only that, but the photo in question was taken from inside Apple's headquarters in Cupertino...
Every week, iDownloadBlog shows you a selection of app picks that we think are interesting. While we tend to choose apps from the App Store, we occasionally throw in a web or jailbreak app as well. This week, we've got three awesome App Store apps for you to check out. We hope you enjoy this week's picks!
We all love the iPhone 4's camera. The iPhone's success as a camera and HD video recorder has been widely observed, with the smartphone topping the chart of used cameras on Flickr.
The problem is that neither the iPad 2's front or rear-facing camera is very good. Yes, they both work for snapping a simple shot here and there, and the front-facing camera does a reasonable job for FaceTime, but that's about it. The iPad's shear size doesn't help its usefulness as a camera, either.
The iDevice accessory and app makers at Makayama have come up with an iPad 2 movie mount that, they claim, will improve the iPad's shot-taking prowess...
Robots might be set to take over the world, but if they're anything at all like LG's new robotic vacuum, we'll be able to control them using our iPhones.
The Roboking VR680VMNC, or "Rob" as his friends call him, is a robotic vacuum that packs three cameras and connects to your home's WiFi network, enabling iPhone users to control the device from the comfort of their handsets.
The on-board cameras stream video back to the iPhone app, too, turning the Roboking into an exceptionally mobile security camera...
Apple is expected to unveil its new iPhone (or phones) in the next few weeks, and as usual the rumor mill is on fire. Also right on schedule are the flurry of purported next-gen components we're seeing pop up all over the web.
But so far, the parts haven't really amounted to much. Although some differences have been noted, the pieces in general look very similar to those found in the iPhone 4. Finally, some parts have surfaced that actually matter...
