One of the consistent gripes from iPhone users is that their favorite device offers puny battery life compared to offerings from Samsung, LG and other big smartphone manufacturers. In an interview with The Financial Times , Apple design boss Jony Ive offers what seems like a really strange explanation for why Apple won't build a thicker phone with a bigger battery.
If there's one good thing to come from the New England Patriots' deflated footballs scandal, it's that it might just be enough to bring NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's disastrous reign to an end.
We've had two great lists of paid iPhone and iPad apps that have gone on sale for free so far this week, and now Wednesday's list might be the best one yet. There were definitely some gems to be found on Tuesday — a few of which are still free if you hurry over to this post — and now we have eight more iOS apps that would typically cost a combined $59 to download, but they're all free right now for a limited time.
Is it warm in here, or is it just us? The debate surrounding climate change, and specifically global warming, will rage on for years to come. There are certainly plenty of arguments on both sides of the fence, and neither side wants to concede any of its key talking points. The simple truth, however, is that numbers don't lie... and these are some pretty horrifying numbers.
This has been a terrific week for paid iPhone and iPad apps that have gone on sale for free. We've shared great apps with you all week long, and there are even a few gems from yesterday's list that are still on sale for free if you hurry. Today, we've got one last list for you to enjoy this week and it features eight iPhone and iPad apps that normally each cost money to buy, but they're all free for a limited time.
Typing on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is now a much better experience than it has been in the past, thanks largely to two main points. First, the screens on Apple's latest iPhones are larger, which means the tap targets on the keyboard are bigger and easier to hit while typing quickly. Also, the software keyboard itself is much better in iOS 8 than it has ever been before.
But the simple fact of the matter is that typing on glass with no tactile response will never be as good an experience as typing on a real physical keyboard, but size and portability will always be an issue. That's exactly why the new TextBlade keyboard from WayTools is so intriguing.
T-Mobile wasn't just the first major carrier in 2014 to announce groundbreaking new initiatives such as rollover data plans and paying off rivals' early termination fees. It also posted insanely high net customer additions for a carrier that some had written off after years of decline.
Schlage, a division of technology-focused safety and security company Allegion, has announced at CES this year the Schlage Sense, a touch-pad enabled smart lock for homeowners that most notably allows users to command Siri to unlock their doors thanks to integration with Apple's HomeKit.The Schlage Sense system has the ability to manage and schedule up to 30 codes at the same time through a dedicated, easy-to-use app, which offers an additional layer of key-free convenience. The Schlage Sense app allows individuals to create and delete access codes, check on lock status and view activity, as well as update settings and check battery life without requiring residents to connect to an existing home automation system or pay a monthly subscription charge.
What's every incumbent ISP's worst nightmare? If we had to guess, it looks something like the filing that Google just made with the Federal Communications Commission. As The Wall Street Journal reports, Google this week told the FCC that reclassifying broadband providers under Title II of the Telecommunications Act would have a big side benefit for Google Fiber because it would give Google Fiber the same access to utility poles and other key infrastructure currently enjoyed by Comcast, AT&T and other big-name ISPs.
