Having had something of an unconvincing launch, Passbook is slowly becoming much more useful. At least, it is in the States. Skycore announced today that it will be making cross-carrier MMS delivery of Passbook passes available to Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile customers. This means that you’ll no longer be restricted to just accepting passes via…

As we’ve heard plenty of times already, with Jony Ive at the helm the user interface and design is set to take on a new…
As most of you will know – either through experience or reading online reports – Apple’s Maps has hardly had the smoothest of starts. When it emerged that the program wasn’t as great as Cook&Co would have liked, iOS users the world over started looking for alternatives. Until Google Maps arrived, the first choice was popular social mapping app,…
It’s not often you get the chance to pick up an iPhone on with any form of discount applied. Prices are normally set, and the iPhone 5 – for example – is $199 everywhere (except T-Mobile who’s UNcarrier plans are attempting to shake up the industry). Best Buy, for 4 weeks starting this Sunday, May 26th, will be offering $50 off every iPhone on…
Ever since its launch last year, Apple’s Maps service has come under heavy criticism, but Cupertino is doing what Cupertino does best: steadily improving and trying to win more fans. One of the apps’ unique features is the 3D Flyover imagery. Instead of using data-intensive satellite images to build real views, Apple went for a more efficient vector-based…
Apple’s advertising tactics have changed incredibly over the past few years. Gone are the days where it compares itself directly with the biggest competitors (unlike Windows) instead, the ads almost always focus solely on the product and its features. The latest iPhone 5 ad named ‘music every day’ shows the advantages of using the iPhone as a media…
1. Budget iPhone and iPhone 5S I resisted the budget iPhone rumors for a long time because I really couldn’t see Apple putting out such a device.

So, here’s me typing on the Belkin competitor to the Logitech and ZAGG keyboard cases that we’ve all come to know and love over the past couple of years. And, I’m delighted to say, it’s every bit as good as those two and has a few tricks up its sleeve too. Kindly, the folks over at Belkin sent me over a pre-release unit* to try out before the official…

It’s been a quiet week on the rumor front. While the whole world has had its head turned by Apple’s tax hearing and the Xbox One reveal, it seems no one has been interested in checking with serial tipsters. Thankfully, one has turned up, from a familiar Japanese Apple blog. Macotakara reports that it has had discussions with its sources, in fact,…
Verizon has just launched its cloud service that it announced back in April to the iOS App Store. Simply named “Verizon Cloud”, the application comes as version 13.2.8 and finally brings the service to iOS devices, as well as expanding it to other Android devices: UPDATE – Thursday, May 23: Verizon Cloud is now available for iOS devices and additional…
Smule is a very well known creative music company when it comes to iOS software. It has released apps that imagine new ways to make music, and this new app is no different.
