Building an iPhone Photo Filter Is a Lot Harder Than Using One

I think some law was passed in the last year that requires all photo apps to come with filters that function as aesthetic time machines, passing your perfectly fine photograph through a wormhole of analog nostalgia. It turns out that creating such a rift in photographic spacetime is not as easy as sending your photo…

How to Customize Your Jailbroken iOS Lockscreen

The default iOS lockscreen is little more than a glorified wristwatch; functional, but not very useful for much else than checking the date. Having a jailbroken iOS device opens up a Pandora’s box of possibilities, allowing you to add more info and a personal touch to the most basic of your phone’s functions: the lockscreen.…

Waldok Is the Only iPhone Dock I Really Want

I want the Waldok. I have wanted one forever, ever since I first saw a dock for the old school iPod. Why don’t make a cool dock speaker that I can plug onto my bathroom power socket or any other room? Thankfully, the people at HERNstudio got the same idea and created the Waldok, which…

There Won’t Be a Tiny iPhone This Summer

Tiny iPhones! That’s the biggest rumor about the next generation of iPhone. The Wall Street Journal’s source even saw a prototype that’s “about half the size of the iPhone 4” and “intended for sale alongside Apple’s existing line.” Cue the New York Times: https://gizmodo.com/could-the-next-iphone-really-be-a-third-smaller-than-ip-5757328 Apple’s engineers are currently focused on finishing the next version of…

Bubble Wrap That iPad

This is the Ozaki iCoat Bubble. It is basically like wrapping your iPad in bubble wrap, only a very nice piece of bubble wrap that’s been cut to the right size and fashioned into a protective slip case. There’s also one that’s been cut a little smaller for iPhone, plus the maker notes that the…

Rdio’s Revamped iPhone App Has a New, Squeaky Clean Homescreen

Rdio’s iPhone App is getting a bit of a makeover to celebrate its 1.0 release. Now it has a springboard-style homescreen and a player bar that is always visible along the bottom of the screen (Both of which are similar to what MOG has on their app). They also added enhancements for search, playlists, and…

A Few More Differences Between the Verizon and AT&T iPhones

Okay, so the Verizon iPhone 4 and the AT&T iPhone 4 have pretty much the same hardware, aside from Verizon’s CDMA network not being able to handle simultaneous voice and data and a few internal tweaks. But there are some less-publicized user experience differences, too. Specifically: while A&T’s version can handle up to five calls…

Verizon iPhone Sales Supposedly Disappointing, But It’s Hard to Draw Conclusions Now

Boy Genius has exclusive numbers on Verizon iPhone sales for the first five days of availability. They’re good, but they’re not that good, and supposedly Apple and Verizon expected more. • Thursday: Verizon = 909, AT&T = 539 • Friday: Verizon = 916, AT&T = 680 • Saturday: Verizon = 660, AT&T = 471 •…

Will Apple’s New Content Subscriptions Punish You? (Updated)

Apple is now offering the same subscription service used by The Daily to all publishers. Despite all the predicted gloom and doom for the magazine industry, Apple’s terms seem fair: publishers would be able to keep using whatever subscription methods they want. Here’s how it works, in Steve Jobs’ own words: Our philosophy is simple—when…

Answer Calls While Keeping Your iPhone Totally Encased

Ever wish you could keep your iPhone 4 totally protected while answering calls? The revo4 case has a ViSOR which snaps on your phone, and keeps everything covered except for the earpiece and the slider. When you’re using your apps regularly, the ViSOR can be taken off and secured to the back of the case.…

One of Apple’s iPhone 5 Prototypes Has A Hardware Keyboard?

Apple.pro (which Macrumors and Appleinsider claim is a decent source for Apple leaks) says there are three different prototypes being tested for the next iPhone. The weirdest one seems to be one that looks like an iPhone 4, but has a case that slides out to reveal a hardware keyboard. The slide-out mechanism sounds similar…

Why a War Photographer Shot an Award-Winning Photo With a $2 iPhone App

It’s incredible how, years after computers have landed every desk and so much of the media we consume has been converted to digital bits, people remain so deeply uneasy about the inauthenticity of things produced with digital tools. Like NYT photographer Damon Winter’s award-winning photograph, shot with iPhone app Hipstamatic. That’s the point I was…

Why Apple Will Not Release a Cloud-Based iPhone Nano This Year

I like the idea of an iPhone nano. One with a small screen with the same resolution of an iPhone 3GS, powered by an A4 processor. I’d buy one. But a cloud-based iPhone doesn’t make any sense. Not right now. A source at Cult of Mac claims that this is exactly what is going to…

Apple May Finally Be Cleaning Up the iOS Notification System

I’ve ranted and raved about how much the iOS notification system annoys me in the past, so rumors that Apple is buying a small company and having it revamp that whole mess are making me drool. Could it be that I’ll finally get a proper, logical, and neat notification system on my iPhone? According to…
