Mac and PC users are incensed at news that a third-party software solution that enable them to use the iPhone’s 3G connection to get their computers online appears to have been withdrawn from sale. Nullriver (the cool people who developed Installer.app, to all you jailbreakers out there), had its NetShare application available for sale through the App Store yesterday, according to a forum post on MacRumors. The $9.99 software allowed users to share the iPhone’s EDGE or 3G internet connection with a PC, offering a SOCKS5 proxy for the PC to connect to....

For many people, using the stock iPhone with regular old iOS 11 is like living in a cage. For those who prefer the iOS platform, but despise the restrictions placed on you, there is a new hope. Our first demo of a jailbreak on a current iOS build has revealed itself. Today, Liang Chen of Tencent Keen Lab demonstrated the first working on iOS version 11.1.1 running on an iPhone X....

Shazam, which is owned by Apple, was fully integrated into the iPhone and iPad last year with iOS 14.2, which introduced a new toggle to identify songs right from the Control Center. Now with iOS 14.6, Apple has expanded that integration and turned it into an App Clip packed with information about the song. With the previous integration, the user was redirected to the Shazam website once they tapped the Control Center toggle to identify the song....

If you’re looking to buy a new iPhone in 2022, you have multiple options from which to choose. As has become the norm, the lineup is split into the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro.

Following the launch of the Apple Watch Ultra, some are suggesting that next year’s iPhone lineup might see an iPhone 15 Ultra instead of a Pro Max. The theory is that Apple will increase the differentiation between the Pro and Ultra model iPhones, with the twin aims of pushing up the price of the top-of-the-range model and persuading Pro buyers to switch to the Ultra … Background There have so far been inconsistencies in both the branding and strategy of the top-tier iPhone model....

However, this feature is not built in on any iPhone which calls for the need to use other means in recording phone calls.

“Hey, Tim! Our users have something to say. Looks like they are asking for a small phone.” “But we did the SE in 2016, right? Are there people in 2020 still asking for small phones?” “More than you would think.” “But, do we listen to our consumers? You know they have been asking for a Type-C port…” “Well, we have a stockpile of unsold iPhone 8 phones.” “Say no more....

Apple earlier this month announced that the iPod touch was officially discontinued, but it would remain available in stores “while supplies last” – which didn’t last long. In another step to put an end to the iPod, the company has now removed the iPod touch marketing page from its website. As noted by Heedo Abu Laban on Twitter, the official iPod touch webpage is gone on Apple’s website, at least in some regions....

Read receipts are great, however, sometimes it isn’t appropriate to have them enabled, for example when you have a business. Good thing Apple gives you the option to keep them on or off.

Apple is facing the prospect of iPhone import bans in multiple counties as Ericsson steps up the pressure in its patent infringement claims. Ericsson has already applied for injunctions in both Brazil and the Netherlands, and is expected to do so in additional European countries. One patent litigation expert says the UK is likely next in line … Background We previously explained the background to this dispute. Foss Patents noted that Apple made an “astounding” U-turn by trying to have everything resolved in the Eastern District of Texas – a jurisdiction that the company had previously gone to huge lengths to avoid because it is known to favor patent owners....

The good news is that analyst doesn’t seem a whole lot worried – Apple is a stock to buy with a $205 price target, Wu writes. And the recall is just a minor bump, a “non-event” he cautions clients. Take a look for yourself as we’ve repeated his assertions within this post. Oh – and Wu expects new Macs to take a bow at an Apple special event this autumn – in the next few weeks, perhaps?...

Like the new Apple Pay UI that was recently uncovered in this beta, the new assets were discovered by Hamza Sood and posted to Twitter:...

An iPad widgets concept perhaps provides the answer to why Apple didn’t do what many of us wanted: allow flexible positioning of widgets on the iPad, in the same way as on the iPhone. I raised the issue as soon as iPadOS 14 was announced … More than 95% of you agreed with me that iPad widgets should be as flexible as iPhone ones. I don’t think I’ve ever before written a feature request the moment a new operating system version has been announced, but one super-disappointing discovery prompts me to do so: iPad widgets in iPadOS 14 get less flexibility than iPhone ones […]...
