Apple has updated its website today, adding new 'Tips and Tricks' sections to its iPhone pages. The new sections offer iPhone users a handy guide to various features in iOS 7, and on late-model iPhones.
It looks like Apple has added a guide to its iPhone 4s, 5c and 5s marketing pages, showing users how to use apps like FaceTime, Maps, Siri, Find My iPhone, Music, Mail, Safari, AirPlay and Settings...
One of the features of Touch ID is the ability to capture and save up to 5 different fingerprints. This not only allows you to unlock your iPhone with both of your hands, but it also allows you to give multiple users access.
Try to save a sixth fingerprint, however, and you'll find you're unable to—the option to add a new fingerprint gets disabled after 5 saves. That is, unless you use this little workaround to register multiple prints to each save...
Apple has not only made Siri more intelligent and capable in iOS 7, but it's also stopped referring to it as being in 'beta.' We've noted a number of the digital assistant's improvements over the past few months, but here's a cool little trick that was just pointed out to us...
Last week we showed you how to delete individual digits from the iOS Calculator app by swiping. It wasn't a major revelation, by any means, but a lot of folks seem to have found it useful.
In the same fashion, we have another trick to show you today. And if you've ever thought to yourself that it takes too long to navigate through the iOS Calendar app, you'll want to see this...
One of the biggest new features of iOS 6 is the new reinvigorated Maps app, which no longer relies on data from Google. The new Maps app also features turn-by-turn directions, and 3D capabilities.
Sadly, for owners of older devices like the iPhone 4 or the iPhone 3GS, you'll get the new Maps app sans 3D capabilities or turn-by-turn directions. As usual, the jailbreak community has come through with a solution to at least one of the omissions — 3D maps.
Check inside as we walk you through adding 3D maps to your officially unsupported older device...
It has been brought to our attention that Absinthe 2.0 doesn't work normally on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. When you click on the app icon to open it, nothing happens, and the Absinthe interface doesn't load. That's not entirely a surprise considering that Mountain Lion is still in beta, but more than a few of you have expressed troubles with the issue.
Likely, this was just an oversight by the hard working folks behind the Chronic Dev Team, and it will probably be fixed in an updated version of Absinthe. Until then, it's incredibly easy to work around this problem and run Absinthe 2.0 successfully to untether jailbreak your iOS 5.1.1 device. We show you how inside...
Last month we showed you a way to fix your iDevice's white app icons after jailbreaking, but did you know that you can perform a similar fix with Springtomize 2?
Since most jailbreakers probably already have Springtomize 2 running on their device's, this is a very convenient method for cleaning up those annoying white app icons that rear their ugly heads post jailbreak.
Check inside for the full how-to...
Clear, the minimalistic, yet insanely stylish todo app is all the rage right now. Perhaps you've been enjoying it?
To maintain its simplistic look and feel, the developers imposed a 30 character limit for tasks, which is completely understandable — especially after you see what more than 30 characters looks like.
You can use Siri Dictation to outright bypass the 30 character limitation for a seemingly infinitely long task entry. Obviously this trick isn't amongst the most practical tricks in the book, but it's cool because, well, it can be done.
Verizon discontinued its unlimited data plan last July, thereby joining the ranks of AT&T with tiered data offerings for smartphone users. Thankfully, a nifty trick has surfaced for getting unlimited data on Verizon, despite the CDMA carrier technically not offering its all-you-can-eat plan anymore.
While we can't verify the legitimacy of this method, many Verizon customers have reported that performing this workaround has indeed unlocked unlimited data...
Sometimes the Home button on the iPhone just starts getting a little funky, a little laggy, a bit unresponsive.
Most of the time, those issues are software based, unless of course you've dropped your iPhone in water while feeding your pet fish.
For us non-fish owners, we've confirmed that a simple recalibration is usually all that's needed to fix most issues with the iPhone's Home button. Take a look at our video tutorial inside...
We have decided to remove this post. We posted warnings about the usefulness and possible issues that could stem from its usage, but after further discussion and talks with developers, we decided it was in the best interest of everyone involved to remove the tutorial.
We apologize about any confusion that may have resulted from this, and we will more deeply consider any similar posts in the future, even if they contain the necessary warnings that this post contained. Ultimately, we don't want to confuse anyone, hence we felt that the post would be better off removed.
Google has been known for quite a few pranks (no, Android is not one), and their latest joke took nearly five days to uncover.
When you use your mobile device to search Google for the term "tilt" or "askew," as pictured above, the search will return with the results tilted ever so slightly to the right. The trick works on both iOS and Android devices.
