Easily Pair Your iPhone With Your Mac’s Keyboard

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated July 10, 2017

If you are the kind of person who likes to use a real keyboard with your iPhone or iPod touch every once in a while, you'll probably be acutely aware just how much of a pain it can be to have to manually pair your device with the keyboard every time you use it.

Obviously, that situation only crops up if you use your keyboard with a computer as well. But what if you could just plug your iPhone in and have it connect with one keystroke. No pairing, no messing.

A new keyboard from Matias offers just that...

Last week we told you about designer Antonio De Rosa's next-generation iPhone concept/tribute to Steve Jobs. The iPhone SJ looks like something Jony Ive could have cooked up himself in the basements of Cupertino, and now there's a video of the concept for our viewing enjoyment.

Verizon to Require LTE-Compatibility in All Future Smartphones

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 9, 2018

If there's one thing Apple's mobile products have taken a lot of criticism for recently, it's their lack of LTE support. The company released a new tablet and handset last year — neither of which contained the popular 4G technology.

While nearly every Android partner has implemented LTE into their products, Apple has continued to ignore the tech in favor of battery life and reliability. But they may not have a choice in the matter in future Verizon-bound products...

Mole Kart is a Mario Kart Clone That Won’t Last Long in the App Store

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated May 30, 2017

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. We love Mario Kart as much as anyone, we grew up with it in various incarnations across all manner of devices, which is why this is even more maddening.

Mole Kart, available for download from Apple's App Store right now, is what can best be described as a Mario Kart clone. That is, it's basically Mario Kart, but without the buttery smooth animations and Nintendo charm. We are not talking about Mole Kart being similar in that it's karts racing around a track, either. Mole Kart is so similar to Mario Kart that if you have played the Wii version of the game then you'll already know the tracks involved in this iOS clone.

It's that much of a rip-off...

Today the long awaited iPhone 4S was supposed to go on sale in China. A lot of people crowded Apple Stores hoping to get an iPhone.

Cody Lee ∙ Updated November 19, 2018

While some of us have had the iPhone 4S for nearly three months, folks in China are just now seeing the handset in the flesh. And if you thought the hype for Apple's new smartphone was starting to die out, you're very much mistaken.

Several news outlets are reporting today on the massive lines that have formed outside of Apple Stores in both Beijing and Shanghai, China, for the iPhone 4S launch. Apple's latest handset is expected to go on sale in less than one hour.

Jeff Benjamin ∙ January 12, 2012

The image selection menu in Safari and Mail just got a lot more interesting. iEagleEye is a jailbreak tweak that adds a numerous amount of new options to image selection — options such as Google Images, opening in new tab, copying the image URL, and more.

If you're looking to make your iOS experience more like a desktop experience when it comes to images, then you might want to give iEagleEye a look.

RadioShack Still Has 16GB iPhone 4 Models In Stock for $99

Cody Lee ∙ January 12, 2012

Those looking to score an iPhone on the cheap might be happy to hear that RadioShack is still offering up 16GB iPhone 4 models for just $99 — the same price that carriers are asking for the 8GB version of the handset.

It appears that the nationwide retailer still has some stock left of the old entry-level iPhone 4. And if you're okay with not having the latest and greatest, you can pickup a 16GB iPhone for the lowest price we've seen to date.

Awesome NES Game Controller Concept for the iPhone

Cody Lee ∙ January 12, 2012

If the current batch of iPhone gaming accessories just aren't doing it for you, perhaps this one will. This two-piece iPhone attachment essentially morphs your handset into a game controller that'll remind you of the good old days.

But there's more than nostalgia here. The NES-inspired controller actually looks like it could be the gaming add-on we've been waiting for. And although it's still in the concept stage, the creator is working on bringing this thing to life...

Cody Lee ∙ January 12, 2012

It's been more than two weeks since the iOS 5.0.1 untether was released. Both the Dev Team and Chronic Dev Team released untether solutions using pod2g's handy work, but it doesn't stop there.

Word has it that pod2g has been in contact with members of the Pwn Dev Team, the creators of the Ac1dsn0w jailbreak tool. And it looks like he has agreed to give them his exploit for their new software...

pod2g Says A5 Jailbreak is Just a Matter of Days Away

Cody Lee ∙ Updated October 10, 2018

If you haven't figured it out by now, this whole A5 jailbreak thing is kind of a big deal. The entire jailbreak community has its eyes on pod2g and the rest of the "Dream Team" as they finish up their work on the highly anticipated exploit.

iPhone 4S users are now going on three months without a jailbreak, and iPad 2 owners who upgraded to iOS 5 last summer are going on 7. But it looks like we won't have to wait much longer, as pod2g says the A5 jailbreak is just days away...

iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Jailbreak One Step Closer to Completion

IDB Staff ∙ January 11, 2012

We know, we know, the wait is killing us, but all we have to relieve the tension is a few tweets from the "Dream Team" of iOS hackers working on the jailbreak for A5 devices, namely the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2.

The latest update is a tweet from planetbeing revealing that the A5 jailbreak is out of the sandbox, which means we should see the jailbreak released very soon...
