We’re getting closer and closer to the sixth anniversary of the iPhone’s first announcement, and recent rumors suggest that Apple is planning something of a party for the device, by releasing its seventh incarnation along with the fifth of its tablet brother. Apparently, the unveiling of the iPhone 5S and iPad 5 will take place at a special event called…
The clip on iPhone lens is by no means a new accessory, they’ve been around for longer than the iPhone’s camera has even had a flash, but none have been quite as simple or feature-rich as the latest.

Samsung recently unveiled its long-awaited fourth addition to the ‘Galaxy S’ family, predictably named the Galaxy S4.

When it comes to what people want in iOS 7, it seems that one of the most desired features is a revised Notification Center, which would be speedier and less intrusive than it currently is. BadgerTweak is a jailbreak tweak currently in development that promises to do just that. Essentially, the tweak allows the user to click the notification icon of an app…

But that doesn’t mean that animals can’t use the tablet, as we’ve seen monkeys, lizards and even a white tiger playing games on the device.
