| Consumer Reports gives iPhone 5 a thumbs-up Posted: 24 Sep 2012 02:55 PM PDT
Consumer Reports is an 80+ year-old American magazine that publishes reviews and opinions on new consumer products and services. It’s physical publication has more than 7 million monthly subscribers and is highly regarded among shoppers. The magazine has quite a history with Apple, once giving the iPhone 4 a “cannot recommend status,” back in 2010, and then sensationalizing the iPad 3′s overheating issue earlier this year. But as it turns out, it actually really likes the iPhone 5…(...) "Consumer Reports gives iPhone 5 a thumbs-up" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Messages app now automatically switches to the last international keyboard used in a conversation Posted: 24 Sep 2012 01:27 PM PDT
If like me you use two or more international keyboards when typing Messages on your iPhone, you know it can sometimes be a bit frustrating to have to switch between them. As a matter of fact, I’ve wished iOS could automatically figure out what keyboard to use for a while. And I’m hardly the only one. A few months ago, MacStories’ Federico Viticci tweeted that iMessage should be able to automatically switch international keyboards based on the recipient’s language. It seems that someone at Apple heard him, as this is now a feature in iOS 6…(...)

| AuthenTec tells clients to buy fingerprint sensors elsewhere in 2013 Posted: 24 Sep 2012 01:09 PM PDT
Earlier in the summer, smart sensor maker AuthenTec agreed to be bought by Apple for $356 million. Still pending approval, the transactions left even the seasoned watchers scratching their head. People began wondering whether Cupertino might leverage AuthenTec’s fingerprint sensors to bolster enterprise security in iOS devices. Or, perhaps, Apple was keen on tapping AuthenTec’s sensors to add consumer features to iPhones, iPods and iPads, the stuff like finger-based unlock or a secure e-wallet service. The deal remains shrouded in a veil of secrecy because Apple isn’t talking much and neither is AuthenTec. A report out this morning claims that AuthenTec’s current clients are “in a state of panic” as the company is telling them it will stop offering its technology and NFC/fingerprint sensors as of next year…(...)

| Verizon iPhone 5 to stay unlocked due to FCC agreements Posted: 24 Sep 2012 12:43 PM PDT
Last week, we discovered that the Verizon version of the iPhone 5 comes with an unlocked SIM slot. Our very own Jeff confirmed the theory by using his VZW handset to connect to AT&T’s GSM network. While this was obviously great news, we were worried that things wouldn’t stay this way because carriers don’t generally like unlocked phones. But according to a new report, Verizon may not have a choice…(...) "Verizon iPhone 5 to stay unlocked due to FCC agreements" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

My favorite iOS browser, Google Chrome, has been updated to support the larger screen size of the iPhone 5.

| iPhone 5 personal pickup live after 10pm tonight Posted: 24 Sep 2012 11:39 AM PDT
Strong demand and five million sales (perhaps even more) during the opening weekend continue to put a strain on the initial iPhone 5 supply. If you’re in the market for an iPhone 5 and are an avid Apple fan, there’s a reasonable chance you’ll want to waltz inside one of Cupertino’s shiny retail shrines. After all, a new iPhone is a once-in-a-year event so why not treat yourself to that talked-about buying and ownership experience, right? The problem is, the iPhone 5 is hard to come by at the moment, even as Apple is regularly stocking stores. Luckily, there’s now a better way of buying the sought-after device involving a simple online pre-reservation for in-store pickup the following day…(...)

| Apple TV gets Shared Photo Streams, new screen savers, iTunes account switching and more Posted: 24 Sep 2012 11:06 AM PDT
Apple today pushed out an update for its Apple TV set-top box. The update is focused on iOS 5.1 build 10A406e and a slew of enhancements and a few new features. Among the things we like in the new Apple TV software (in addition to the obligatory stability and performance fixes) is the ability to easily save multiple iTunes accounts and switch between them, support for Shared Photo Streams and AirPlay broadcasting from Apple TV to other devices…(...)

| iPhone 5 support is “coming soon” to Sparrow Posted: 24 Sep 2012 10:37 AM PDT
According to co-founder and developer Dominique Leca, the Sparrow team (now part of Google’s Gmail team) is working on a minor update that will enable support for the iPhone 5 and its taller screen. “iPhone 5 support is coming soon to Sparrow”, Dominique wrote on Twitter. Still a big fan and regular user of Sparrow on both the Mac and iOS platform, I sure am pleased that they are continuing to provide at least basic level of support to ensure the program runs smoothly on refreshed devices…(...)

| Keyboard shortcuts not working on iOS 6? Here is a quick fix Posted: 24 Sep 2012 10:19 AM PDT
If there is one jailbreak tweak I particularly miss since using iOS 6 on my iPhone, it’s Xpandr, a tweak that let’s you create keyboard shortcuts, just like TextExpander does on your Mac. To me, it’s an invaluable tool that has saved be hours of typing. Keyboard shortcuts aren’t a jailbreak-only feature though, as they were introduced with iOS 5 last year. Though not as powerful as Xpandr, they’re my fallback solution when there is no jailbreak available for my device. So one of the first thing I did when I got my iPhone 5 last Friday was setting up a bunch of shortcuts that I use on a daily basis. Everything worked fine for a day, and then, they magically stopped working. Though I was worried I’d have to restore my iPhone to fix the issue, it turns out the solution was much simpler than I thought…(...) "Keyboard shortcuts not working on iOS 6?
