There are a couple of a reasons why someone would want to activate the hidden debug settings in iOS. Perhaps you're a budding hacker or developer, and are looking for more elements in iOS to tinker with.
Or maybe you don't know about any of that stuff and you just want to do it to further "hack" your device. Regardless of why you want want to do it, the real question is: how do you do it? Keep reading and we'll show you...
It's that time of the year again. We're all waiting on pins and needles until March 16th when the new iPad is officially available to the public.
As Cult of Mac's Killian Bell points out, Apple's own Apple Store app is a great way keep tabs on your new iPad and/or new Apple TV shipment.
It's not going to make your new iPad hit your doorstep any faster, but it's a nifty way to ease some of the anxiety of waiting...
I'll admit that I've never used a Gevey SIM interposer, or anything like it in the past, but I figured I'd give it a shot with the iPhone 4S.
The iPhone 4S has its own special SIM interposer called the R-SIM II Ultra S, which was recently released.
I'm happy to report that this is by far the easiest method for "unlocking" your iPhone 4S, and using it with T-Mobile or virtually any other GSM carrier. And guess what, no jailbreak is required.
Check out our review of the iPhone 4S R-SIM tool inside...
We've covered a number of great RSS reader apps on iDB over the past few years, but our favorites aren't hard to spot. Flipboard and Pulse News have both seen extra attention on our site due to their terrific user interfaces.
If you don't have at least one of these apps on your Spring board, you should reconsider. Their graphic-driven UIs make it extremely easy to follow your favorite tech sites while on the go, including iDB...
Before you think to yourself how obvious the answer to that question is, let me assure you that I receive this question many times a day, especially after doing a video where I receive a Tweetbot banner notification.
Setting up banner notifications in Tweetbot may seem like a no-brainer to most of us, but there still remains a fair amount of people who find it confusing — my email inbox is a testament to that fact.
With this in mind, I felt we were long overdue for a tutorial that shows how to enable notifications for Tweetbot.
Last year AT&T, along with several other carriers, decided to drop its unlimited data plan in favor of other options. And although it has allowed users to maintain their previously-owned unlimited plans, it isn't exactly winning customer service points.
A few months ago, the operator started throttling its subscribers after using only two gigabytes of their unlimited data. And if you happen to fall into that category, for once, there is something you can do about it...
Even though iOS has seemingly been turned inside out over the past few years, there are still a few easter eggs hidden in the software. Earlier this month we told you about the invisible buttons on the iPad's split keyboard, and now we've come across another little-known feature.
One of my favorite components of iCloud is Photo Stream. I love having instant access to all of my photos on both my iPhone and iPad. Having instant access to my photos on my laptop is awesome too, but there is one major caveat.
You see, to access your Photo Stream photos on your Mac computer, you have to go through iPhoto — which I hate. It takes forever to load and the UI is terrible. Luckily, I've just come across a software-free way to access my Photo Stream photos on my computer...
Have you ever wondered what files a specific jailbreak tweak places on your device? Have you ever wondered where the files are stored?
If so, you could always fire up iFile or use an FTP utility to go digging around in your file system. Or, you could just head to Cydia and utilize a provision that's available for every package you have installed on your device...
Plex is a simple way to access both local media stored on your PC or networked drives, along with online media on a variety of devices.
There are Plex apps for the Mac, PC, iOS, and even Android devices. Being the ubiquitous app that it is, it's not surprising that it runs on a jailbroken Apple TV.
Inside we'll show you how to install Plex on your jailbroken Apple TV for free...
Okay, so we've been debating running this story for quite some time now, but we figured since this involves Siri, that ultimately we should do so.
You're probably all aware of the so-called Siri port that runs on some Russian server hosted who-knows-where. Well, apparently it technically works, although many have had very mixed success in getting it to work.
Inside, we'll show you what you need to do to go about obtaining this "port" for yourself, although it's not without some disclaimers...
Ever since I jailbroke my iPhone 4S using Absinthe, it has been behaving a little weird, sometimes displaying white icons or even transparent icons for certain applications. It seems that this issue only affects Apple's stock applications such as the Phone app, Calendar, etc.
I can't really pinpoint the issue. Is it because of Absinthe? Or is it because of a package I have installed from Cydia? While I'm not really sure what causes this problem, I have found a simple trick to fix the blank or missing icon dilemma...
