The iPhone is a beautifully designed product. It’s thin, lightweight, and a joy to hold in the hand.
With all the effort placed into the fit and finish of this product, it seems almost insulting to then cover it with a plastic or rubber shell to preserve its beauty. A case not only hides the natural elegance of the iPhone, it typically alters the iPhone’s look and feel entirely. However, a drop and a scuff later, I can tell you that I wish I kept a case on from the start.
Pictures are worth a thousand words. So, it’s no wonder that photo sharing applications like Instagram have become the preferred medium for sharing thoughts, ideas, and inspiration.
With the advancements in smartphone camera quality, and the versatility of having an internet connection through that device virtually everywhere, applications such as these have made sharing those photos an effortless and almost instantaneous exercise. There is however, an older app that can do just about everything Instagram can do and more.
Recently, as I watched someone struggling to navigate to the camera application on their iPhone, I realized that many iPhone features still remain unknown to most users. Do you know that a quick camera access feature exists on your lock screen? If not, read on!
To-Do lists keep tasks focused, on schedule, and ideally on the path to completion. However, for many, the focus and dedication required to maintain an effective To-Do list can be a task unto itself.
One look at many of the To-Do list apps in the iOS App store, and one can see that many developers are keenly aware of this. So, each tries to set their To-Do list App apart from all the rest by either beautifying it to make chores pleasant to look at, or adding gimmicky gestures to make adding tasks less tedious.
If you’ve been looking for an alternative streaming service to Netflix, there’s one service that many, including myself, have probably overlooked until now – Amazon Prime Instant Video.
iPhones are gorgeous and expensive devices. So, it’s natural to want to protect that investment and preserve its elegant design. While most cases effectively safeguard the beauty of the iPhone, they tend to make it less than beautiful in the process.
There are cases however, like the Incase Leather Snap Case that offer protection and rugged good looks, in a thin, premium leather covered hardshell, that doesn’t compromise the elegant design of the iPhone.
If you own an iPhone, you’ve discovered it does a lot. If you’ve visited the App Store lately, you’ve discovered with apps, it can do even more. While the iPhone comes bundled with already useful software features, imaginative developers are continually finding new and clever ways to augment your iPhone experience through Apps.
Weather apps are among the most downloaded because they offer more useful information than the built-in app. I’ve found however, many of these apps are typically harder to use than they need to be.
Battery runtime on mobile phones isn’t what it used to be. I used to charge my cellphone and expect it to run for days before my next charge. But let’s face it, mobile phones aren’t just phones anymore.
Today’s mobile phones, particularly smartphones, have more in common with laptops than they do with cellphones. If you’re like me, you’ve come to this realization long ago and use your iPhone as you would your laptop. And, because it does practically everything that a laptop can do, minus the bulk and weight, it’s probably become your only mobile computing device.
However, this level of performance also draws power too, giving me the same mediocre battery life I would get from my laptop. If you’re looking for a way to keep your iPhone 5 running all day, while leaving all the charging accessories at home, I’ve found an integrated battery case to be the best solution.
For people like myself who have a horrible sense of direction, or simply hate to ask for directions, driving to a desired location has never been easier. GPS navigation has, for the most part, taken the planning and guess work out of finding a route to where I need to go. However, one area of turn-by-turn direction that In-Dash and Mountable GPS systems continue to fumble with, is building routes around the unpredictability of traffic and conditions on the road.
If you’re buying a car or just shopping for a Mountable GPS Device, consider the following before you plunk down that small fortune to add that fancy navigational system to your dashboard: There are far better and less expensive solutions available. One in particular I’ve found to be fantastic…
After Apple’s recent change from the nearly decade old 30 pin dock connector to the new and more adaptable Lightning connector, much demand for new Speaker Docks have been on the rise.
While an integrated speaker and charging station has its utility value, I’ve found “Speaker Docks” often to be accessories with limited versatility or packed with features redundant to the ones found on the iPhones themselves.
