| Gameloft teases Asphalt 8: Airborne Posted: 11 Jun 2013 03:40 PM PDT
French games maker Gameloft is on a roll lately. Hot on the heels of teasing its upcoming Modern Combat 5 for iOS and Android and releasing Gangstar Vegas on the App Store, just a few hours ago it posted the first Asphalt 8: Airborne teaser. Yup, the next installment in the Asphalt franchise promises to up the ante with high-octane action. This usually entails smashing vehicles into each other and taking control of crazy fast racing cars that defy gravity and fly all over the place, almost as if someone’s watched a tad too many Fast and Furious movies. We’re not complaining, though. Asphalt 8: Airborne looks business and we can’t wait to get our hands on it. Your action-packed trailer is right after the break…(...)

| AT&T brings push-to-talk to the iPhone 4S and 5 Posted: 11 Jun 2013 03:25 PM PDT
AT&T’s big announcement got lost somewhere in the cracks of the onslaught of WWDC news yesterday. The carrier launched a new iPhone app this weekend that brings enhanced push-to-talk (EPTT) to the popular handset. The app, which is aptly named AT&T Enhanced Push-To-Talk, allows iPhone 4S and 5 users to communicate quickly using next-generation VoIP technology to deliver one-to-one or group calls over AT&T’s 3G and 4G networks…(...)

| New in iOS 7: dynamic and panoramic wallpapers Posted: 11 Jun 2013 03:01 PM PDT
Good news for those who love to personalize their iPhone with the photos depicting their significant other, kids, dogs, kittens and what have you: with iOS 7 Apple has gone beyond adding a bunch of new wallpapers, having implemented cool new enhancements to really bring those wallpapers to life. Taking a page from Google’s Android (obviously), iOS 7 includes dynamically animated wallpapers created by Apple’s design team. Not only that, the operating system lets you set any panoramic image from your Camera Roll as your Lock/Home screen background for a jaw-dropping effect. But wait, there’s more…(...)

| WWDC 2013 keynote now available for download through iTunes Posted: 11 Jun 2013 02:31 PM PDT
Shortly following its live-streamed WWDC keynote talk yesterday, Apple has posted a streamable replay to their home page. I like to keep those keynotes handy for offline viewing, but saving a video stream to a computer is unfortunately a mess which involves too much trickery without guarantees for success. Luckily, Apple has catered to the archivist in us by making the entire presentation available for download through iTunes…(...)

| How to downgrade iOS 7 to iOS 6.1.3 Posted: 11 Jun 2013 02:00 PM PDT
Apple makes it sound like a life or death scenario when developers decide to install iOS 7 beta on a test device. In fact, it’s always done so with its beta releases. In the notes for iOS 7, Apple states that “Devices updated to iOS beta can not be restored to earlier versions of iOS.” The thing is, that simply isn’t true. I’ve always been able to successfully downgrade my firmware in the past for a beta test device, and I’ve confirmed that the process still works perfectly fine on iOS 7. In fact, it’s extremely easy to downgrade your firmware from iOS 7 to iOS 6.1.3; it doesn’t even require any special tricks or techniques like some downgrades do. Check inside as I walk you through the extremely simple step-by-step process for downgrading iOS 7 back to iOS 6.1.3.(...) "How to downgrade iOS 7 to iOS 6.1.3" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| New in iOS 7: support for third party game controllers Posted: 11 Jun 2013 01:23 PM PDT
As with any major Apple event, where numerous announcements are made, I feel like some of what was talked about yesterday flew under the radar. Specifically, there were several cool features in iOS 7 that didn’t get enough attention. One of those features is support for third party gamepads. Physical controllers for iPhones and iPads have long been left to the ThinkGeeks and the Kickstarter projects, due to the lack of support. But that’s going to change with iOS 7…(...)

| Ten iOS 7 features that were borrowed from the jailbreak community Posted: 11 Jun 2013 12:10 PM PDT
Let’s state the obvious; iOS 7 borrows heavily from many of our favorite jailbreak tweaks. Without even really trying, I came up with a list of ten different jailbreak tweaks that may have inspired the iOS 7 development team. Yes, the obvious ones are here, like SBSettings and LiveClock, but some not so obvious ones have made the cut as well. Check inside, as I walkthrough all 10 jailbreak tweak inspirations on video, and compare them with their iOS 7 counterparts.(...)

| Prosecutors cautiously optimistic Activation Lock in iOS 7 could curb urban iPhone theft Posted: 11 Jun 2013 11:29 AM PDT
Apple’s Monday announcement that its new iOS 7 would include an ‘Activation Lock’ comes just days before the iPhone maker is to attend a Smartphone Summit. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón say they await details of the new iPhone feature. After being stung by reports that it is not doing enough to prevent a rash of iPhone thefts, Apple argued Activation Lock would prevent thieves from using a stolen handset…(...)

| Google officially buys social mapping startup Waze Posted: 11 Jun 2013 09:22 AM PDT
It’s official: Google has just bought Waze, a social mapping and location startup, for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition strengthens Google’s already leading Maps solution and related location services on the web and mobile devices. The deal follows months of speculation, with stories earlier this year predicting Apple would acquire the Israeli startup in order to improve own data in iOS Maps…(...)

| Apple replaces Google with Yandex on Safari in iOS 7 in several countries Posted: 11 Jun 2013 08:59 AM PDT
When Apple's SVP of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue during yesterday’s keynote said that Siri in iOS 7 will integrate Bing web search results, everyone went silent. While Google is still the default search engine in Safari, Apple will pre-install the Yandex search engine in Russia and several other countries, a Russian newspaper reported Tuesday. The development could signal Apple’s intention to gradually distance itself from Google search…(...)

| Icon comparison: iOS 6 vs iOS 7 Posted: 11 Jun 2013 08:25 AM PDT
Apple’s new look and feel in iOS 7 is certainly polarizing, that much is clear. While approximately half of those who took part in our informal iOS 7 makeover poll said they loved the new design, nearly a third think the new interface will take some time getting used to. While the vast majority seem to support the facelift, a lot of people have taken issue with the new iOS 7 icons. Complaints range from the icons being too colourful and out of place to being completely different from each other to resembling a terrible Photoshop job by a 14-yer-old. We’ll let you be the judge: here’s a side-by-side comparison of iOS 6 vs iOS 7 icons…(...) "Icon comparison: iOS 6 vs iOS 7" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Outspoken Apple analyst calls iOS 7 changes most important in iPhone history Posted: 11 Jun 2013 07:35 AM PDT
Love it or hate it, Apple’s newly-unveiled iOS 7 will breathe new life into the aging iPhone, argued one analyst late Monday. Unlike hardware changes which have a short lifetime in terms of public curiosity, phone software updates are mesmerizing. In a note to investors, Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster writes that the changes within iOS 7 will spark renewed interest in the iPhone, which some felt was being overshadowed by its Android rivals, such as the Samsung Galaxy S4…(...)

iOS 7 is a fairly significant change from its predecessors looks wise, but many of the functional elements of the OS are still the same. For instance, the initial setup wizard looks different, but the basic premise and much of the options and settings are much the same as they were on previous iterations of iOS.

| Watch this now: Apple design philosophy Posted: 11 Jun 2013 06:53 AM PDT
Yesterday, we highlighted Apple’s mission-statement ad that deals with its famous signature, ‘Designed by Apple in California’. Today, the company has made WWDC commercials available on its YouTube page, among them a minute and 30 seconds long clip. The video is titled ‘Designed by Apple – Intention’ and Apple used it to open the WWDC keynote. In it, the company explains how it goes about designing its products so it’s definitely worth a watch from start to finish…(...)

Now that registered iOS developers have had a chance to install the first beta of iOS 7, lots of tidbits not covered during the keynote are trickling in now. Cody already told you about 24 iOS 7 features Apple didn’t talk about and Jeff explained how the new Clock app displays current time on its icon. Another way overdue but nonetheless very welcomed feature is the ability to block phone calls from a specific person…(...) "New in iOS 7: call blocking" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |

Shortly after Tim Cook wrapped up Apple’s big keynote yesterday, developers and other WWDC attendees made their way over to another popular event: the 2013 Apple Design Award show. Every year, Apple hands out awards to outstanding iOS and OS X apps based on a number of factors like design, and innovation. And the winners of this year’s prestigious Design Awards are…(...)

| New in iOS 7: Clock app icon now displays real time Posted: 11 Jun 2013 12:21 AM PDT
As we continue to dig through all of the new features and UI changes in iOS 7, we’ve come across a minor, yet interesting, detail. It looks like the Clock app icon now displays the correct time, and has an animated second hand. At least, in all of Apple’s screen shots it shows the correct time. Notice in the image above how the time on the Clock icon matches up with the time in the status bar. But I can’t for the life of me get it to work on my iPhone 4S…(...)
