When Apple launched the iPhone 5s, it came with a unique feature called Touch ID. It was basically a way for users to unlock their smartphones and make iTunes purchases using their fingerprint. Based on our review of the phone and other reviews on the internet, the general consensus was that Touch ID was refreshingly responsive.
However in a recent report, it was suggested that Touch ID would “degrade” over time, due to the fact that the initial fingerprint data could eventually become polluted due to additional scans made over time. Well according to AppleInsider, they claim that a fix for this issue is being worked on as we speak. (more…)

We have been hearing a lot about Apple’s plans for sapphire lately. Rumored plans, to be exact. While Apple has not denied their involvement in GT Advanced Technology’s sapphire plant in Arizona, the exact use of the material is still being speculated on.
According to the rumors, some claim that the sapphire will be used in Apple’s upcoming iPhone 6 where it will be applied to the display of the phone. Others claim that it will be used in the company’s upcoming iWatch, but in a recent report by The Wall Street Journal, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook was quoted as saying that the Arizona facility was being used for a “secret project” that he couldn’t talk about.

We have heard our fair share of bill shock stories in the past, and it seems that this particular (albeit unwanted) phenomenon has yet to be stamped out. Most of the time, “bill shock”, which is the term used to describe a situation where one goes roaming overseas without knowing any better and return home only to be greeted by an insane phone bill at the end of the month. Well, this Japanese tourist who had his iPhone pickpocketed from him on December 29 last year while he was riding the Barcelona subway, had the shock of his life when he was billed for $9,800 (after conversion from yen, of course) at the end of the month.

In under a year Apple has been able to fill a void in the mobile browser market that apparently few other devices can live up to. The iPhone is often criticized for having the slow Edge network wireless chipset in it, but regardless there are new reports that it has become the most used mobile browser for Internet access in the United States. Second place goes to Nokia’s Symbian OS, who also holds the number one spot on a global basis (iPhone is number 2 globally).
This really leaves you wondering how the iPhone will come out globally as it expands its reach. Not only that but there has also been a lot of buzz about the 3G iPhone being released in the next few months. Just today more news was found in regards to the 3G chipset being used in the next iPhone, and faster Internet access would likely mean even more mobile browsing.
Being an iPhone owner myself I can say that it’s one of the only mobile devices that make browsing the Internet easy. Most of the time I’m within reach of a Wi-Fi network so it’s not often that I’m plagued with using the painfully slow Edge network. I used to be a faithful Pocket PC user, but I can easily say that the iPhone’s Safari browser is way better than Pocket Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile!

While phones will full touchscreen displays have been around before the launch of the first-generation iPhone, they weren’t particularly nice to use, partly due to the fact that these touchscreen devices still relied on resistive touchscreen displays, versus capacitive which was used by the iPhone.
What this meant is that the touch wasn’t as smooth, fluid, or intuitive. If you’ve used one of those phones before, you know what we’re talking about. That being said, it’s safe to say that the launch of the first iPhone really shook up the mobile industry and it is something that Apple should be proud of, but it seems that not everyone feels that way.
Ex-Apple senior direct of product marketing, Bob Borchers, was recently quoted as saying, “If you had the original iPhone, I apologize; it was not a great phone, it was an OK phone.” (more…)

As you may have noticed, there are a million activity trackers out there right now. Most of them are glorified pedometers. The upper tier add altimeters, heart rate monitors, and sleep-tracking to the equation. But what if you don’t just want to be reminded to work out—you want to work out better, safer, and more efficiently? Moov might just be the AI coach you’ve been hoping for.
