1. iWatch concept with Maps This concept looks incredible! Personally, I think it’s the only iWatch concept I’ve seen that I believe could actually be a product Apple releases. At this point, most people agree that Apple is working on some sort of wearable tech, and this is the first thing that got me excited for it. As far as the software concept,…
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. However, with each new rumor about an entry-level iPhone aimed at emerging markets, I find it harder and harder to write it off. I was pretty sure that Apple was not going to release a smaller iPad, and I was…
1. Badger jailbreak tweak My favorite types of tweaks aren’t the ones that look to drastically change iOS and make it something unrecognizable. I like the tweaks that aim to build on the platform Apple’s created and make it better in line with the “it just works” mantra that Apple’s products revolve around. This tweak definitely does that. It’s such a…
1. iOS 7 concept iOS 7 is the thing I’m most looking forward to on Apple’s horizon – even more than the iPhone 5S. Having to wait until WWDC is tough, but looking at iOS 7 concepts is a great way to pass the time. This latest concept incorporates the “flat” design that Johny Ive is rumored to be embracing, but takes it one step further by offering the…
1. App Store hits 50 billion downloads Apple’s been counting down to the 50 billion download mark for a few weeks now, and it finally reached it. We don’t yet know who the lucky downloader is, but we probably will soon – he or she has won a $10,000 App Store gift card! Could you imagine winning 10 grand for downloading an app!? So awesome. 2. New Google…
1. iPhone 5S fingerprint scanner A new rumor suggests that Apple’s next iPhone will feature a capacitive home button instead of a physical one, a sapphire crystal display instead of glass, and a fingerprint scanner built right in. These are some interesting rumors, and it’s definitely not the first time we’ve heard them (and none of them are true yet) so…
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…
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…
