| Concept: how Jony Ive should redesign iOS alerts Posted: 24 Nov 2012 01:46 PM PST
With Scott Forstall’s departure, watchers and users alike are keeping their eyes peeled for Jony Ive-ification of Apple’s mobile operating system. It is no secret that iOS is showing its age in several key aspects, especially compared against Android. The concept of alerts, despite advancements such as Notification Center, is still too obtrusive and leaves a lot to be desired. That’s why I approve a new solution proposed by an Apple fan who has envisioned friendlier and actionable iOS alerts…(...)

| Musician Will.i.am launching a 14-megapixel iPhone camera attachment next week Posted: 24 Nov 2012 01:01 PM PST
This is gonna be every iPhoneographer's dream come true. Apparently, musician Will.i.am is set to launch an interesting iPhone accessory next week via his new consumer electronics venture. It basically replaces the device’s built-in iSight camera with a 14-megapixel sensor that clips onto the iPhone to provide dramatically enhanced clarity and definition of your snaps. The gizmo also has its own built-in flash better than the iPhone’s. “You dock you phone into our device and it turns you smartphone into a genius-phone”, he tells The Telegraph. “We take over the camera”…(...)

| Apple’s patent pact with HTC auto-terminates if either party is bought Posted: 24 Nov 2012 11:16 AM PST
Apple’s worldwide patent settlement with HTC is set to automatically expire should either firm get acquired by a third-party, patent blogger Florian Müeller discovered combing through court documents. Even more so, a so-called “change of control” clause is mostly beneficial to Apple given its $110+ billion cash pile making Silicon Valley’s most powerful company literally unlikely to be snapped up any time soon. But if HTC gets bought, Apple’s prized iPhone patents licensed to the Taiwanese handset maker remain encumbered. What’s more, in case of such an outcome Apple is theoretically free to reassert its claims. The settlement also involves HTC subsidiaries S3 Graphics and VIA technologies, both of which were asserting patents against Apple in the past…(...)

| The majority of iPad mini screens are made by LG Display, not Samsung Posted: 24 Nov 2012 09:45 AM PST
The vast majority of iPad mini units incorporate a 7.9-inch screen manufactured by LG Display, a report out of Asia claims. AU Optronics, another Apple supplier, is said to be responsible for a much smaller portion of orders as it reportedly continues to suffer from poor yields in the production of panels. The news is another indication of Apple distancing itself from Samsung. Remember, Samsung was originally the primary supplier of Retina screens for the third-generation iPad, until LG Display stole the Apple account in August. The Galaxy maker also lost out on the iPhone 5 front to rival panel makers, although the company still manufactures chips for Apple devices…(...)

| UK bank Barclays buys 8,500 iPads, calls Apple’s tablet ‘the best solution’ Posted: 24 Nov 2012 09:09 AM PST
Another significant win for Apple’s popular tablet brand: British multinational banking and financial services company Barclays has confirmed it’s purchased 8,500 iPads "to assist our branch colleagues to interact with customers, improving the customer experience". The announcement couldn’t have come at a worse time for Microsoft, whose Surface tablet hit store shelves on October 26 but so far has generated only “modest sales”, per CEO Steve Ballmer…(...)

| Apple on Black Friday added six Galaxy devices to its Samsung suit Posted: 24 Nov 2012 08:04 AM PST
Following Samsung’s motion asking Judge Paul S. Grewal for permission to amend its infringement contentions against Apple with the iPad mini, iPhone 5 and the latest iPod touch, Apple on Black Friday conveniently brought a motion seeking to add latest Galaxy devices to its California suit, including the Galaxy S III running Android Jelly Bean and the four-inch Galaxy S III Mini. The filing adds a total of six recently-released Galaxy gadgets to Apple’s ongoing patent lawsuit against Samsung…(...)

| iPhone photography: how to use Intentional Camera Movement to your advantage Posted: 24 Nov 2012 05:00 AM PST
I hope you have had a great couple of weeks making some HDR magic with your iPhone. Today we are going to explore a more abstract and fun approach to iPhone photography. If you remember a couple of lessons back we were using a slow shutter speed to create light trails. You probably remember having to hold your iPhone still and leave your camera shutter open for a long time. It was kind of complicated and gear intensive. This time around, we are going to leave our shutter open for a long time but careless about holding our iPhone still. This is a technique that we in the industry call “Intentional Camera Movement” or ICM. The goal is to intentionally use blur to create something unique and beautiful!(...)
