| iOS 6 beta 4 adds Wi-Fi Plus Cellular data switching option Posted: 09 Aug 2012 03:56 PM PDT
The latest beta of iOS 6 was released this week with a handful of changes. We’ve already mentioned a few of these differences like the new Bluetooth Sharing menu, and the missing YouTube app. But another one has been discovered. In beta 4, a new option can be found deep in the Settings application, under the Cellular tab, called Wi-Fi Plus Cellular. When enabled, it allows apps that are having trouble with Wi-Fi to automatically switch over to cellular data…(...)

| This is what apps will look like on rumored 4-inch iPhone Posted: 09 Aug 2012 01:27 PM PDT
For months, rumors have been bouncing around that Apple was finally going to give its iPhone a larger display this fall. And these rumors have been all-but-confirmed by industry insiders and claimed leaked components. Then earlier this week, it was reaffirmed when it was discovered that iOS 6 is capable of running on such a display, at a resolution of 640 x 1136. And we’ve got some images of what apps will look like if the speculation holds true…(...) "This is what apps will look like on rumored 4-inch iPhone" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| More proof that a new iPhone is on the way Posted: 09 Aug 2012 12:25 PM PDT
You’ve seen the leaked components, in fact, you’ve seen tons of them. You’ve seen the third-party cases and you’ve seen the tell-tale discounts popping up. It’s pretty obvious that a new iPhone is on the way. But just in case you needed more proof, a new report is out this morning claiming that component-makers in Apple’s Taiwanese supply chain just posted record sales for the month of July…(...)

| Apple’s 3D maps look much better than Google’s Posted: 09 Aug 2012 12:00 PM PDT
Google, in an attempt to outshine one of the worst kept secrets in the industry at the time — Apple’s 3D Maps announcement at WWDC 2012 — hastily put together its own presser 5 days in advance, to announce their entry into the “next dimension” of maps. That’s all water under the bridge now (see what I did there?), and both companies have 3D technology incorporated in their apps — Google, with Google Earth, and Apple, with Maps for iOS 6. Obviously Apple’s maps update is still in beta, and Google just recently released their Google Earth upgrade, but which 3D building implementation looks better up to this point? The answer might surprise you…(...) "Apple’s 3D maps look much better than Google’s" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Apple now matching iPhone discounts from other retailers Posted: 09 Aug 2012 11:22 AM PDT
Last weekend we reported that Sprint, a large wireless carrier here in the US, had started discounting the iPhone 4S by $50. The move wasn’t surprising, as we’ve seen similar discounts from other carriers and retailers. But word is getting around today that Apple has finally joined the party, and has given its retail stores the authorization to match the discounted prices from approved major retailers and carriers up to $50 dollars…(...)

| iOS is one of the top gaming platforms of all time Posted: 09 Aug 2012 10:48 AM PDT
When Apple added the App Store to iOS, the iPhone and iPod touch became about as disruptive to the handheld video game market as the iPhone was to the smartphone industry. All of a sudden, users had easy access to thousands of low-cost video games. But not only has Apple since sold more iOS devices than handheld systems from Nintendo and Sony put together, it’s actually sold more than all major console systems. This, among other factors, makes iOS one of the most popular gaming platforms of all time…(...) "iOS is one of the top gaming platforms of all time" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| iOS 6 Passbook shopping gets simulated in real-world Posted: 09 Aug 2012 09:23 AM PDT
iOS 6 brings a new app called Passbook that Apple argues isn’t a direct payment product (yet). Instead, the program lets you collect and organize discount coupons, gift cards and some such. Patents, however, reveal that Apple is actively thinking about leveraging NFC technology to turn Passbook into a comprehensive mobile shopping solution, referred to as the iWallet. You could create fake coupons to play around with in the Passbook app, but I’d bet my shirt that you’d still be scratching your head as to how exactly Passbook is supposed to work in real-life. A nice two-minute clip embedded below will help clear up the confusion by showing some interesting possibilities for Passbook through real-life examples…(...)

| In case you were wondering, no one is working on an Apple TV 3 jailbreak Posted: 09 Aug 2012 09:10 AM PDT
A quick note for our readers that have been patiently waiting for a jailbreak for the Apple TV third generation. According to a recent tweet by my fellow countryman and iOS hacker extraordinaire Pod2g, no one is currently working on a jailbreak for the Apple TV 3. This doesn’t really come as a surprise. The Apple TV has always been the iOS device with the least amount of attention from jailbreak hackers, likely because it is much less exciting than the iPhone or iPad…(...)

| New jailbreak tweak lets you watch restricted premium videos via AirPlay Posted: 09 Aug 2012 08:56 AM PDT
Doesn’t it get under your skin when you try to watch a video on the big screen via AirPlay, and at the most, all you get is sound? Sometimes companies decide to restrict users from using AirPlay or HDMI output, which results in the frustrating scenario just mentioned. This prevents certain apps like Amazon Instant Video, HBOGO, and DirectTV from being enjoyed on your television set via AirPlay using an Apple TV. It’s actually surprising that it took this long for a Cydia developer to come up with a fix for this, but it’s finally here. UnrestrictPremium is a tweak that allows you to watch video via AirPlay mirroring or HDMI output, even if the developer of the app restricts users from doing so. Want to see how it works? Then step inside and watch our hands-on video walkthrough…(...) "New jailbreak tweak lets you watch restricted premium videos via AirPlay" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Official: Google to pay $22.5M fine in Safari privacy breach scandal Posted: 09 Aug 2012 08:43 AM PDT
As hinted last month, Google has reached a deal with The United States Government and has agreed to pay a $22.5 million fine for overriding iOS Safari users' privacy settings in order to better track their web browsing activity. The unusually high fine is meant to set an example for other companies who may be thinking about violating users’ privacy in sneaky ways…(...)
