| Let’s Talk Jailbreak 27: The calm before the storm Posted: 09 Sep 2013 05:44 PM PDT
Tomorrow is a huge day, so for that reason, we thought it would be appropriate to post this episode of Let’s Talk Jailbreak a day early. Inside, Sebastien and Jeff talk about the anticipation surrounding tomorrow’s iPhone event in which the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C should be revealed to the public. The duo also talks about this past week’s tweaks, which include TapTapFolder, the Samsung Galaxy inspired WaveOff, and Sentry’s new quick reply tweak called Anemo. Of course, that’s not all. Listen to episode 27 for all of the jailbreak goodness, which includes our thoughts about the iOS 6.1.4 jailbreak for the iPhone 5. (...)

| Sumhold minimizes your iPhone calculations and looks great too Posted: 09 Sep 2013 04:30 PM PDT
I've always wondered why anyone makes a calculator app for the iPhone when the native one works just fine and includes so many features. Sure an advanced scientific calculator would be a real benefit, but for the most part, a calculator is a calculator. Right? Sumhold is a simple calculator app that actually benefits the user because of its minimalistic nature. You can't do much with it, but what you can do is fast, convenient, and very good looking…(...)

| Make sure to stay away from these fake unlock and jailbreak sites Posted: 09 Sep 2013 03:32 PM PDT
Perhaps one of the biggest problems in the jailbreak community today, apart from piracy, is the growing amount of scammers. These are sites or services that promise to provide users with jailbreak and unlock solutions, in return for money or other malicious intent. And what’s worse is, often times these services are very misleading, claiming to do things such as “jailbreak iOS 6.1.4″ or “downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5″—which we all know aren’t possible yet. So we’re highlighting some of these sites in order to warn users to avoid them…(...) "Make sure to stay away from these fake unlock and jailbreak sites" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Apple said to double ad and marketing teams Posted: 09 Sep 2013 02:16 PM PDT
A new report Monday by AdAge asserts Apple is doubling headcount across its internal marketing and advertising teams, ostensibly in a bid to tighten the message and produce even more marketing and advertising in-house. Saying the timing of the hiring spree is telling would be an understatement. Apple’s Fall was recently called “blockbuster” and we have every reason to believe 2014 will be a landmark year as the firm readies the rumored iWatch, iTV, iPhablet, 13-inch iPad Pro and other gizmos unbeknown to us yet. With that in mind, Apple is going to need some of the world’s top creatives to get its message across, retain the narrative and talk its non-gullible customers into purchasing new-category products…(...)

| Car-maker Nissan unveils new Nismo smartwatch, and it’s actually pretty awesome Posted: 09 Sep 2013 01:51 PM PDT
To say the smartwatch industry is on the verge of exploding would be an understatement. In addition to the Pebbles and the i’m watches, both Samsung and Sony just made major plays in the space. And rumor has it that Apple is also working on a wearable. But out of all of the smartwatches we’ve seen thus far, this new one from Nissan might just be the best-looking. That’s right, believe it or not, the auto-maker just introduced a connected watch of its own called the ‘Nismo.’ And it’s actually pretty awesome…(...)

| Apple dresses up Cupertino campus ahead of tomorrow’s iPhone keynote Posted: 09 Sep 2013 12:54 PM PDT
Ahead of tomorrow’s iPhone keynote, which starts at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern, colorful banners have now gone up the facade of Apple’s Town Hall auditorium building in Cupertino, California. Watchful folks could point out that Apple typically holds its high-profile product unveilings at major venues like San Francisco’s Moscone West or Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. This time around, they’ve opted for a more intimate (and more controllable) setting at its own campus. The last time Town Hall was used was for the iPhone 4S introduction in October 2011. As yo can see yourself, the media event livery pictures the same colorful dots we first saw on Apple’s event invitation. I’ve included more shots right after the break…(...)

| User files class-action lawsuit against Apple over ‘Breaking Bad’ iTunes confusion Posted: 09 Sep 2013 12:48 PM PDT
Last month, Apple upset tens of thousands of Breaking Bad fans when it posted on iTunes that those who had already purchased what they thought to be the entire final season of the popular series would have to pay again for the final 8 episodes. It was the TV network’s fault— it was AMC’s decision to split the fifth (final) season into two parts. But iTunes user Noam Lazebnik, of Ohio, feels that Apple deserves some of the blame too, and he’s filed a class-action lawsuit against the company…(...)

| 1 out of each 4 US smartphones users has an iPhone Posted: 09 Sep 2013 12:15 PM PDT
America is now a smartphone nation and the iPhone is increasingly becoming the favored device. Smartphones now account for 56 percent of cell phones in the United States. That’s up nearly ten points from a year ago, according to a new Pew Research poll. Additionally, the iPhone is used by 25 percent of US smartphone owners – or one out of each four smartphone owners in the country. That’s a notable six-point increase from nineteen percent a year ago. The rise in US smartphones mirrors a drop in feature phones, which fell to 35 percent. Just nine percent of US adults do not own a cellphone…(...) "1 out of each 4 US smartphones users has an iPhone" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Yahoo’s new Screen iOS app is a remote control for web video Posted: 09 Sep 2013 11:55 AM PDT
The struggling Internet giant – once synonymous for anything remotely dealing with online content – on Monday issued a brand new app called Yahoo Screen. The company is billing the app as a remote control for web video of sorts. More appropriately, Yahoo Screen is your one-stop shop for both Yahoo’s original and licensed video content. You can instantly stream news, sports, food, and entertainment videos from MLB, UFC, The Onion, Martha Stewart and lots more, free of charge (no strings attached). But that’s just scratching the surface as Yahoo’s licensed video library includes such TV shows as Saturday Night Live, along with Yahoo Originals featuring Jack Black, Ed Helms, Zachary Levi, Cheryl Hines, Rachael Harris and more…(...)

| A quick look at the Apple stock price before and after an iPhone announcement Posted: 09 Sep 2013 11:42 AM PDT
Here is an interesting graph to look at, a day before Apple is set to announce not one, but two new iPhones, which we’ll call the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C, at least until Apple proves us wrong. This chart, created by Deutsche Bank’s Chris Whitmore takes a look at the Apple stock price during the months before and after an iPhone announcement…(...)

| Sony introduces the PS Vita TV, an Apple TV competitor that plays games Posted: 09 Sep 2013 11:29 AM PDT
It appears that the PlayStation 4 isn’t the only new gaming hardware we’ll be seeing from Sony this year. The Tokyo-based company has just announced PlayStation Vita TV, a 6 x 10 cm console and set-top box that can connect to your TV. The device is based on PS Vita hardware, and besides playing Vita, PSP and PS1 games, it also offers access to a range of entertainment services and PS4-specific features. And, priced at $100, it’s aimed squarely at Apple’s set-top box…(...) "Sony introduces the PS Vita TV, an Apple TV competitor that plays games" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |

| Microsoft invites press to September 23 Surface 2 unveiling in New York City Posted: 09 Sep 2013 10:38 AM PDT
Taking another crack at tablets, Windows giant Microsoft on Monday sent out invites asking select members of the press to attend its media event on Monday, September 23, in New York City. Unfazed by slow sales of its own Surface RT and Surface Pro tablet lineup after taking the $900 million charge over unsold inventory, the company is adamant to launch a second-generation Surface tablet, the Surface 2. The high-profile press conference will take place in New York City’s Chelsea, where Microsoft is expected to formally announce the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets as refreshed versions of its existing Surface RT and Surface Pro models…(...)

| NFC/fingerprint sensor patent tips off exciting iPhone 5S Home button potential Posted: 09 Sep 2013 09:34 AM PDT
Much has been made about the highly-expected iPhone 5S containing a fingerprint sensor within the Home button. Other talk has surrounded the promise of Near Field Communications (NFC) and Apple’s off-and-on interest in the technology. It appears both a fingerprint sensor and NFC may join together to turn the next iPhone into an electronic wallet and more. According to a new Apple patent that’s surfaced in Europe, the iPhone 5S may include an updated Home button encircled by a ring which detects your finger. But this super-charged Home button also adds NFC, potentially replacing passwords and enabling secure wireless e-commerce, next-generation docks and other exciting opportunities…(...)

| NSA slides: Steve Jobs is Big Brother, Apple users are ‘zombies’ Posted: 09 Sep 2013 08:42 AM PDT
In case you missed our Sunday coverage of the newly exposed NSA tactics, the snooping agency – thanks to its secret 10-year initiative code-named Bullrun which runs at $250 million a year – has been able to successfully crack much of the Internet’s widely-used encryption technologies to compromise everyone’s online communications, banking transactions and other sensitive data. And now, internal NSA slides from a 2010 report titled ‘Exploring Current Trends, Targets and Techniques’ and leaked by the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden shamefully depict iPhone customers as ‘zombies’. As if that weren’t enough, in a reference to the George Orwell book ’1984′ Steve Jobs himself is being portrayed as Big Brother…(...)

| VoiceChanger brings live voice effects to the Phone app Posted: 09 Sep 2013 08:11 AM PDT
VoiceChanger is a new jailbreak tweak from Elias Limneos — the same developer that brought us Call Recording, and CallBar for the iPhone. Needless to say, he’s a very experienced developer when it comes to getting more out of the average phone call on iOS. As you’ve probably already figured out, his latest tweak allows users to change the sound of their voices while on a phone call. VoiceChanger allows callers to select between 4 different voice effects (plus the normal voice), and you can do so while on a live phone call. Have a look inside for more info.(...)

| Apple’s budget-minded iPhone 5C will fit T-Mobile ‘like a glove’ Posted: 09 Sep 2013 07:55 AM PDT
Apple’s much-expected iPhone 5C, noted for its multi-colored plastic body and inexpensive price, could become known for something more: mortally wounding cellular contracts. The test could come this month as Apple unveils the less-expensive iPhone at around what analysts believe will be $400-$500, unsubsidized. For the first time, US carrier T-Mobile – which doesn’t require subscribers sign a two-year contract – will go head-to-head against traditional carriers AT&T and Verizon. Both carriers may lose customers to T-Mobile as all four domestic carriers offer the new iPhones simultaneously, analysts say. While both AT&T and Verizon provide a subsidy on the iPhone’s price in return for a two-year contract, T-Mobile lauds its absence of such a requirement. T-Mobile began selling the iPhone in April of 2013…(...) "Apple’s budget-minded iPhone 5C will fit T-Mobile ‘like a glove’" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Opera unveils new iPad-only browser, Coast Posted: 09 Sep 2013 07:22 AM PDT
Opera Software, a Norwegian developer primarily known for its Opera family of web browsers with over 350 million users worldwide, today unleashed a brand new iPad browser. It’s called Coast and they’re billing it as “the browser that should have come with the iPad.” If anything, Coast strives to answer the question, “What should a tablet browser be?" It’s packed with advanced features and features an unassumingly minimalistic user interface. Opera insists it’s not a mere mobile browser tweak, nor a scaled-down PC browser. “It is something new,” Opera teased Monday, although I’m not sure that’s the right choice of words as Coast is based on Safari’s WebKit engine, in accordance with App Store rules. Anyway, the new browser is based on intuitive swipe gestures and Opera claims to have invented a lot of technology that “works under the hood, keeping you safe and secure”.

The Chinese technology blog C Technology over the past week posted purported shots of the iPhone 5C packaging as well as an alleged video of the fully assembled and powered on red plastic iPhone 5C variant, running the stock iOS 7 Safari browser. Monday morning, the blog posted another video apparently depicting a light blue iPhone 5C in action, running iOS 7.

With the public release of iOS 7 on the horizon, users should expect to have to install a number of app updates over the next several weeks.

Amazon took the first step this weekend, issuing what it is calling a ‘required’ update for its Kindle app. The company says that users of the popular e-book service must download the new version prior to upgrading to iOS 7…(...)
