The Apple story is now more about Services revenue and less about iPhone sales that are continuing to decline. In recognition of that trend, Apple today issued a press release announcing that 2019 was the biggest year for the Services segment in its history. The company provided other numbers that paint the Services business in favorable light.
It never ceases to amaze me when enthusiasts like iDB reader Niles Mitchell manage to get some outdated, ancient technology running with a modern day iPhone. In the latest installment to his "Will it Work?" series, Mitchell connects his iPhone to Iomega's SCSI Jaz Drive.
The iPhone’s advanced photography capabilities make it incredibly easy to fill your Photo Library with images. On the other hand, iOS’ Photos app doesn’t do as great of a job of communicating file attributes as we’d like.
Given the circumstances described above, we’re particularly excited to show you a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called PhotoInfo by iOS developer shepgoba.
We recently saw how the new features that Apple introduced in the iOS 13 and iPadOS softwares permit your iPhone and iPad to connect to not only external storage, web servers and USB thumb drives but also access files on forgotten peripherals like Iomega’s Zip drive.
You can determine the amount of storage space that any of your iPhone’s apps are occupying by visiting General > iPhone Storage in the Settings app. Fortunately for those with jailbreaks, there’s an easier way.
Enter Taille, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer MTAC that permits users to ascertain the storage occupancy of any installed app by using a simple 3D Touch (or Haptic Touch where applicable) gesture on its respective Home screen icon.
Every so often, I happen upon new jailbreak tweak releases that incorporate ‘no-brainer’ functionality into iOS, and this prompts me to wonder why the software design team at Apple hasn’t implemented similar features into their platform out of the box.
Storage3D by iOS developer Wh0ba is one such release, and as you can discern for yourself in the screenshot example above, this tweak lets you view your handset’s remaining storage space in the 3D Touch menu that appears when you use a 3D or Haptic Touch gesture on the Settings app icon via the Home screen.
Canadian Mac specialists Other World Computing (OWC), which has its headquartered in Illinois, today launched what they're calling their fastest USB-C SSD yet, a new version of its standalone Envoy Pro EX with USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 compatibility, up to two terabytes of flash storage and an anodized aluminum housing for the drive featuring IP67-rated water and dust resistance.
iOS 13 and iPadOS's enhanced Files app packs in a bunch of improvements, with support for external storage devices arguably the biggest new feature that opens up new possibilities.
Every app you use on your iPhone or iPad sports a base file size, but you may notice that their storage footprint increases with time as you use them; this is because they build a cache file, an accumulation of data that gets used by the app to help it load more quickly.
If you find it challenging to live within your handset’s soldered storage constraints, then clearing your apps’ caches could help you cope. Fortunately, a free jailbreak tweak called CacheClearer (iOS 11) by iOS developers Julio Verne and Ryan Petrich lets you clear those caches on demand.
Apple’s MacBook Pro has been my personal computer of choice for almost a decade now, and while I’ve loved every upgrade along the way, I can’t help but feel like Apple could do better.
Given just how expensive a MacBook Pro becomes as you start pegging out the specs on Apple’s website, it seems like Apple could do more to help me justify the price point. With that in mind, I’ll discuss at least ten ways Apple could improve their flagship notebook in this piece.
While most of the jailbreak community migrated to iOS 11 several months ago, those still rocking the iOS 10 jailbreak will be excited to learn of a new free jailbreak tweak in town called NCFancy by iOS developer Wh0ba.
NCFancy was explicitly designed for iOS 10 users, and as depicted in the screenshot example above, it replaces Notification Center’s useless ‘No Notifications’ text with something you might appreciate more – a pair of widgets that display your handset’s storage capacity usage.
In this piece, we’ll discuss at least 10 ways that Apple could improve the iPhone to make it even better than how it currently is.
