When it comes to the iPhone, Apple does not usually divulge all of the device’s features off the bat and it seems that one of the more interesting features found in iOS 7would be the implementation of “multipath TCP” (or MCTCP for short). Basically what this does, for those unfamiliar with the term, is that it allows your iPhone device to connect to WiFi, 3G, or LTE connections simultaneously, basically allowing each connection to act as a fallback in case one connection decides to drop, presumably with WiFi acting as the priority and preferred connection at all times.

So if you were at home and your device is connected via WiFi, and you decide to head out but you are streaming a song/video halfway, instead of the connection dropping while you wait for the phone to hook onto a 3G/LTE connection, the video/song should continue playing without any interruptions. Given that this feature does not require new hardware, technically all iOS devices that can install iOS 7 should be able to make use of this function. If you’re still unclear of what MCTCP does, you can check out the video above in which researchers demonstrate the technology in action where a session is uninterrupted despite one of the connections being turned off.

With just a few hours left before the whole world has transitioned into the awaited date, Apple‘s online store goes down. This is nothing entirely new if you’ve been watching the company’s behavior in the past, which could mean Cupertino is knee-deep in preparations for the availability of the much-awaited iPhone 5s. The first of […]

With iOS 7 having been released to the public not too long ago, it is expected that the software would have some teething problems at the start, and it has since been discovered that users will be able to bypass the passcode lock screen on an iOS 7 device through a series of gestures and button presses. A video of the bug and the way to bypass the passcode has been uploaded onto YouTube by Jose Rodriguez, and according to Forbes who tried it out for themselves, it worked.

“I tested the technique on an iPhone 5 running iOS 7, and it worked. Rodriguez’s video shows it working on an iPad, too. It’s not yet clear if the same exploit can bypass the lockscreen of an iPhone 5s or 5c, but Rodriguez tells me he believes it will.” Apple has since issued a statement claiming that they are aware of the security flaw and are expected to deliver and fix in a future software update. This vulnerability can be avoided if one were to disable Command Center from appearing on the lock screen, but we guess that would kind of defeat the purpose, wouldn’t it? In any case you can check out the bug in action in the video above.

iOS 7 Lock Screen Vulnerability Discovered original content from Ubergizmo.

While the iPad and iPhone have great games, there are certain games such as driving simulation games or arcade fighting games where the touchscreen controls are not as intuitive compared to a physical controller. Well if you’re in the market for a physical gaming controller for your iOS device, the GameCase controller might be one worth checking out. The controller has yet to go up for sale and is expected to be released later this year or early 2014, with pricing having yet to be announced.

The GameCase is the first gaming controller that has been created in support of iOS 7. Apple has confirmed that there are peripherals from Logitech and MOGA in the works, but it looks like the GameCase has beaten them to the punch. Unlike certain controllers in the past where a game has to be developed specifically for said controller, this is no longer the case thanks to iOS 7’s unified controller APIs. As long as the game itself supports gamepads, plugging in the GameCase should not be an issue. For more info about the controller you can hit up its website for the details.

Apple told AllThingsD that it’s working on a fix for the bug that lets anyone bypass the iOS 7 lock screen to access pictures and share them through e-mail, Twitter and more. The bug will be fixed in a "future software update".
