Several of what appear very much to be iPhone 5 hardware components have been leaked today by a photographer showing what they say will be near-final pieces of the next-generation smartphone. The iPhone 5, also known at this point as The New iPhone, has been shown here to be working with a 3.95-inch display and are apparently identical to what the next iPod touch will be working with as well. These photos are accompanied by several photos of the camera components that are said to be set for the interiors of both devices as well. Read The Full Story

Apple's new iOS 5.1.1 may only have been available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users for a few hours, but already there's a jailbreak solution for installing unofficial apps, as long as you have the right device.

Pop Video iPhone projector beams qHD for $99

Ben Kersey, May 3rd 2012 Discuss [0]

The idea of the pico projector is a novel one, but often the low resolution and poor light output makes them not entirely practical. That hasn’t stopped Samsung from creating a whole phone based around the idea, and now there’s an accessory for iPhone fans that should hopefully fare better than past offerings. The Pop Video projector attaches to the iPhone using the 30-pin dock connector, and can output at a qHD resolution. Read The Full Story

Element Case Vapor Dock for iPhone Review

Chris Burns, Apr 13th 2012 Discuss [0]

There’s no lack of iPhone docks in the world, but not all of them are as fabulously high quality as the Element Case Vapor Dock. This dock is made of heavy metal – CNC Machined aluminum, in fact, with precision drilled holes and a weight that’ll keep you grounded. The bulk of this device contains no technology at all, relying instead on a standard Apple iPhone/iPod cord to power your device up – that said, is it worth the cash?

Apple testing Nexus Tablet competitor in iPad mini

Chris Burns, Apr 6th 2012 Discuss [0]

This week there's been a bit of speculation surrounding the miniature, perhaps half-sized tablet Apple may or may not be working on behind the scenes. Earlier this week we heard Daring Fireball's John Gruber mention that a 7.85-inch model of the Apple tablet is currently in testing labs, though whether or not it would actually be considered for release seemed a different matter entirely. Now that Google Nexus Tablet rumors have caught fire again, is it time for Apple to get serious about tackling the mid-sized market? Read The Full Story

Chris Burns, Apr 2nd 2012 Discuss [0]

Designer Enrico Penello is known for his conceptual work in the industrial design world - and not least of all this week for his undeniably interesting Apple iPod Nano Touch design. What we're looking at here is a different direction entirely for the iPod, taking the height of one model and adding the touchscreen of another. Would such a design give Apple designers pause, or would they have a heart attack at the imperfect aspect ratio? Read The Full Story

Chris Burns, Mar 29th 2012 Discuss [0]

This month we’ve gotten the opportunity take a peek at the House of Marley Bag of Rhythm, a massive carry-along amplifier for your iPhone and/or any other device with a headphone jack. The idea here is that you carry this beast along with you wherever you want to go jamming, and turn the twin 1-inch tweeters and 4.5-inch high-definition woofers out on the world to bring sunshine and positivity to your friendly neighbors. What you’ll get is an aesthetically (and acoustically) lovely unique piece of equipment that’ll fit any one of your iPods just perfectly.
