With so many companies as well as individuals now beginning to count the cost of the recent riots across the UK, it's impossible to overlook the one product that seemed to be most popular amongst those looting — smartphones.
Apple's iPhone was one of those to see huge numbers begin appearing on Cragislist and other online marketplaces. Macworld UK went to the major carriers and asked just what would become of the stolen handsets.
The answer? They're worthless...
"Soon we'll need a lockscreen for our lockscreen," states a comment on our YouTube video for LockGestures. Frankly, I couldn't have said it better myself.
LockGestures is a jailbreak tweak for the iPhone and/or iPad that takes the "lock" out of the lockscreen. It's a tweak that adds a plethora of multi-touch gestures right on the area that used to be solely reserved for unlocking your device.
Now, you can do everything on the lockscreen — launch apps, adjust power options, even make a sandwich. Okay, so I'm just kidding about the sandwich part, but you get the idea. Check inside to see the full scope of LockGestures in high definition video glory...
I have to admit, the first episode of Ask Jeff was a much bigger success than I thought it would be, but apparently you guys have a lot of questions that you want answered!
In this second episode of what I intend to develop into an ongoing weekly series, I tackle all sorts of questions, and I do mean, all sorts.
If you guys are interested in my favorite jailbreak tweaks, or even my favorite cereal, yes, I said cereal, then check inside for episode 02...
You've likely already heard of Cablevision's Optimum app for the iPad. The software garnered a lot of attention when it first launched, allowing Cablevision customers to stream their entire channel lineups to their tablets.
A few days ago, the company released the popular cable-client for the iPhone and iPod touch, with the addition of a major feature. Not only can you watch live TV on your iDevice, you can now control the content on the big screen as well...
When Facebook took the unusual step of launching a completely new app for its messaging service, many raised eyebrows. Why not just use the Facebook app? Facebook Messenger is just another way to get to your Facebook Inbox, isn't it?
Now, just a day after its release, that same pointless app is sitting comfortably at the number one position of the App Store's Top Free chart. Maybe it isn't such a silly idea after all, and here's why...
The iTunes directory is a great way to browse, discover, and download podcasts. But, as of now, there is no way to subscribe to the podcast's feed directly from your iDevice. However, as always, there is an app for that.
iCatcher! by Joeisanerd, is a magnificent solution for downloading, streaming, subscribing to, and managing podcasts on iOS. If there is a specific feature that you are looking for in a podcast app, there is a good chance that it is already in iCatcher...
Facebook Messenger was not the only Facebook iPhone app released this week, with it came the MyPad for Facebook app.
MyPad was released for the iPad over a year ago and has been a huge success ever since, with reports claiming it has been installed on over 5 million iPads, with over 2 million active users a week. One of the main reasons for its success is it's both unique and beautiful user interface.
With MyPad's migration to the iPhone, do users finally have an above average Facebook app? Unfortunately, the answer is still no...
Are you itching to get rid of your old iPhone to make room for the iPhone 5 this Fall? What about an extra iPad, iPod, or even computer lying around the house? Apple wants to buy back your old tech!
Apple's electronics recycling program allows you to mail in old Apple products in exchange for a gift card. If the device is in good enough shape, you'll get pretty decent compensation for that old iPhone that would have probably just sat on your desk otherwise.
With the rumored iPhone 5 launch nearing, as expected, there's quite a few rumors floating around. These rumors include anything from a major to minor hardware overhaul, improved camera, larger screen size, storage capacities, and much more.
The folks over at Nowhereelse.fr have created a video outlining all of the rumors that have been floating around, and the video provide an estimated percentage of the likelihood those rumors will come true...
Apple has always limited users to a certain number of devices for authorization with a specific Apple ID. The rules and terms of multiple device syncing with an Apple ID have always been a little confusing, with the introduction of iCloud posing an even bigger problem for how purchased content can be distributed and synced across multiple devices.
Apparently, the system of Apple ID authorization isn't as smooth as we all thought it was. You're actually limited to 10 total devices for one Apple ID...
With a statement that only proves how thick Apple's iron curtain of secrecy really is, Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo made a comment today at the Oppenheimer Technology & Communications Conference that Verizon expected Apple to release the iPhone 5 this Summer.
Fran Shammo isn't exactly known for keeping a lid on Apple-related news, as he also said earlier this year that Apple's next smartphone would be a "global device."
UPDATE: Readers are pointing out that Facebook Messenger is actually not available in many countries outside the US, including the UK. We apologize for any misleading information.
It's well known that the UK is under threat by its own people right now; but who'd think that it would affect an iPhone app's arrival in the App Store.
The Facebook Messenger app was released in the US App Store yesterday, and great speculation has been raised as to why it has not yet had its UK App Store release. The answer is simple: to prevent further planning of rioting via instant messaging...
