1. Universal Music agreement This is one of the first concretely positive things we’ve heard about Apple’s iRadio service in a while. It’s definitely great news to hear that such a major record label is getting on board with Apple. It took some serious convincing back when iTunes was first launching, and obviously that turned out pretty well, so…
So, Apple was sued again. Big surprise, right? This time it was by a small New York publishing company called Black Tower Press. Apparently the sci-fi and fantasy book publisher obtained the “ibooks” mark in 2006 after purchasing another publishing company that had been using the name. It’s worth noting that Black Tower never actually obtained…
We’ve been talking about the iRadio for months but in case you missed it, this rumored music streaming service would be Apple’s answer to Pandora and Spotify. With the enormous customer base of iTunes built right in and Apple’s experience when it comes to online music, it would seem like iRadio couldn’t fail. Of course, all that is assuming that the…
1. MiniPlayer tweak This cool little tweak brings the iTunes mini player right to your iOS device. This isn’t really groundbreaking or anything, but it’s the customization like this that makes jailbreaking so great. Apple would never allow a customer to choose between the standard music controls and something like this, but jailbreaking gives iOS users…

1. Facebook Messenger updated Facebook has updated its dedicated messenger application to include a few much needed features. Most notable among the changes are the addition of the swipe to delete function and stickers, which are emojis but enormous and much more funny looking. I don’t personally use this app, but it’s definitely nice to see Facebook…
Every now and then, we like to highlight Kickstarter projects that relate to iOS that seem to have potential. With that in mind, I’d like to introduce to you to Keyprop. The idea is super simple: make an iPhone stand shaped and sized to resemble a key that you can hook onto your keyring and always have with you. The idea of clipping an iPhone stand…
Ben A. Reitzes, an analyst over at Barclays, made waves today when he increased his Apple (APPL) stock price target from $465 to $525. As far as reasons for the jump, Reitzes believes Apple will secure a ton of investors and customers by talking about new products again, starting with the annual WWDC conference in June. Apple is expected to demo iOS…
We’ve all heard about how strict Apple is when it comes to App Store guidelines, customization, and jailbreaking, so you may not be surprised to hear that it’s just as strict with the carriers it deals with. In order to carry the iPhone, a wireless provider must purchase a certain number of devices from Apple, which poses some problems for smaller…
