iPhone 5S production reportedly already underway at Foxconn

Talk of Apple's next-generation iPhone has really begun to pick up over the past few days, with two reports coming within the last 24 hours claiming that the company is set to roll out its new handset this summer.

And that continues to be the consensus, as another report has surfaced this evening corroborating the theory. Japanese blog Macotakara is claiming Foxconn has begun ramping up production of the iPhone 5S...

Rumor: iPhone 5S in August, new iPads possibly as early as next month

If a new report from a fairly accurate source is to be believed, Apple could be gearing up to launch next-generation iPads as early as next month, with both a fifth-generation 9.7-inch model and a second-generation 7.9-inch iPad mini apparently being considered for April, and each rocking Apple's high-resolution Retina display.

As for the iPhone 5S - a seventh-generation iPhone and a specs upgrade over the current iPhone 5 - Apple is looking to release this phone in late-summer, approximately around August...

Readr integrates Pocket and other ‘read it later’ services into iOS

As a blogger, I use Pocket, my read-it-later app of choice, on a daily basis. Sure, Safari has its own Reading List feature. But I use Chrome quite often, and find Pocket's syncing to be much more reliable.

That said, you can understand my excitement when I got word of Readr. The recently-released jailbreak tweak integrates Pocket, and other 'read it later' services, into iOS' system-wide share sheet...

Analyst doubles down: iPhone 5S with fingerprint sensor coming this summer

Back in January, KGI Securities' Ming-Chi Kuo revealed, what he believed to be, Apple's product roadmap for 2013. Kuo is known to have well-placed sources in Apple's supply chain, and has been accurate in the past, so his predictions tend to carry more weight than others.

The report claimed, among other things, that Apple is planning to release an iPhone 5S—complete with faster processor, improved camera and built-in finger print sensor—alongside the long rumored budget iPhone, this summer. And today, Kuo doubled down on his claims...

Google Maps for iPhone updated with faster local search, Google Contacts integration and more

Google Tuesday morning pushed a new version of its native Google Maps application for the iPhone and iPod touch. It's the first update since the Internet giant released a standalone Maps software for Apple's platform in December 2012, racketing up ten million downloads in just two days and becoming the App Store's top free iPhone app in no time. New features in Google Maps version 1.1 for iOS include integration with Google Contacts, local search icons that make finding places of interest faster and easier and more...

Apple researching squeezable iPhones

Consumers are used to poking and swiping to interact with touch screen devices, such as Apple's iPhone and iPad. But a new patent could turn your entire future iDevice into a control surface - even for small gadgets such as the much-rumored iWatch.

Apple was granted a patent Tuesday on squeezable technology of sorts that might enable iPhone use while wearing gloves, permit screen bezels to shrink and theoretically enable the company to sell devices with much smaller screens...

Imangi Studios, the brains behind the popular endless-runner game Temple Run, is no stranger to movie tie-ins. Just last June, they released Temple Run: Brave which uses content from Disney's Pixar animated feature film, 'Brave'. A much-improved sequel to Temple Run hit the App Store in January 2013, quickly becoming the fastest downloaded mobile game in history.

Today Imangi's second Hollywood tie-in is available for download as a universal build for iPhones and iPads. As the name suggests, Temple Run: Oz ties nicely with 'Oz the Great and Powerful', an upcoming fantasy adventure film directed by Sam Raimi and due to hit theaters this coming Friday, March 8...

Tablets may consume one-third of mobile traffic in 2013

The tablet is taking an increasingly larger bite out of smartphones' share of mobile content. Devices such as the iPad consumed a respectable eighteen percent of mobile traffic in 2012. By the end of this year, tablets are expected to hit nearly one-third of all mobile device traffic, cutting into the dominant position now held by iPhones and similar smartphones.

According to mobile ad network Jumptap, tablets will consume 29 percent of mobile traffic this year, lowering the percentage of content delivered to smartphones to 70 percent, a drop from 2012's 78 percent...

Apple says iBooks has been downloaded over 130 million times

Following this morning's release of iBooks 3.1, which brought about expanded Japanese book support, Apple has posted a press release to make its move into the country's e-book game official.

The announcement includes further details about the Japan iBookstore launch, as well as quotes from Apple's SVP of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue and various publishing firm executives...

Former Apple ad man says iPhone could have been called the ‘Telepod’

Former Apple ad man and creator of the famous 'Think Different' campaign Ken Segall has been garnering a lot of headlines in the Cupertino blogosphere lately. Last week, he published a blog post on why Samsung's anti-Apple marketing has been so effective.

And this week he was spotted at an event for the University of Arizona’s Marketing Department, again talking about his former employer. Among other tidbits, Segall divulged that Apple considered some silly names for its smartphone before calling it iPhone...

Evasi0n 1.5.1 is out with updated Cydia package list

Last week, Saurik announced that Cydia has been installed on over 14 million unique devices running on iOS 6 or higher. And a large portion of those devices were likely jailbroken using the evasi0n jailbreak tool.

A couple days ago, the evad3rs posted a quiet update for that tool. The update brings the app to version 1.5.1, and includes an updated Cydia package list, which, correct me if I'm wrong, should improve its loading time...

Twitter killing off TweetDeck for iPhone and Android to focus on web client

Twitter has announced this evening that it will be discontinuing its mobile TweetDeck apps in favor of the web client. Both the Android and iPhone clients will soon be removed from their respective App Stores.

Interestingly enough, the desktop versions of the app will live on (except for TweetDeck AIR it seems). But it looks like they will do so without Facebook integration, as the feature will be completely removed...
