iOS Accessories Recomended for This Week

1. PocketPlug from Prong
Making a quick jump from Kickstarter to general availability, the PocketPlug from Prong combines an iPhone 5 case with a wall charger. The flat-folding plugs on the back of the case can be deployed and retracted with just one finger. And if you’re not near a wall outlet, use a micro-USB cable to charge the phone.
The case is also designed to enhance both the iPhone’s speakers and microphone by redirecting sound to the front of PocketPlug for louder and clearer audio.
Available in black or white, you can order the PocketPlug on Prong’s site for $69.99.
2. Heart Rate Watch Company
The $90 Topeak RideCase Powerpack attaches to your bicycle and triples the battery life of your iPhone, making it perfect for long rides using the GPS feature. The Powerpack attaches to the stem of your bike and weighs just six ounces—so you won’t even notice it on uphill climbs.
3. Kero
The $25 Nomad Cable Lighting is a very portable Lightning-to-USB cable that fits right on your keyring, which means it’s always within reach—assuming your car hasn’t been stolen.
4. Qmadix
The USB Tri-Pack Charging Kit with Lightning Connector includes three components: the USBTravel Charging Hub with collapsible prongs, for plugging in and recharging from a wall outlet; the USB Mobile Max Charging Hub for doing the same thing in your vehicle; and the six-foot USB Charging-Data Sync Cable, for use with either of the first two items.
5. USBFever
This week USBFever brings two new products from this accessory provider: The $9 Shutter Release Grip with External Battery, which lets you grip your iPhone more like a handheld camera—buttons on the accessory let you snap photos—or mount your iPhone to a tripod.
The $19 Cordless/Remote Shutter Release Button lets you remotely trigger iPhone snapshots.
 6. Poppy - turns iPhone into a stereoscopic 3D camera


Poppy contains a bunch of lenses and mirrors which turn the handset into both a 3D display and a 3D camera. It lets you view any side-by-side 3D content (including YouTube) by simply looking into the device's viewfinder. Capture mode is enabled by rotating the front part of the casing 180 degrees -- this lines up the optics with the iPhone's camera. The device includes thumb cutouts to access the screen while you're holding it and exposes the phone's volume buttons. It also comes with a matching app that makes it easy to view and capture content using the handset's volume buttons -- it's pretty simple, really. We recorded a video (see above) and snapped a few pictures (in the gallery below). The results were quite convincing and, best of all, Poppy was a lot of fun to play with.



Foxconn Debuts iPhone-Compatible SmartWatch

We're all talking iWatch for too long, still nothing is leaked from Apple, but Foxconn is showcasing a smartwatch that can be wirelessly connected to the iPhone, reports WantChinaTimes.
The watch can be used to measure a user's vital signs such as respiration and heartbeat, as well as check phone calls and Facebook posts. If your vital signs aren't within the optimal range the device will make suggestions on how to improve them.
"With such a device, you can keep your phone in your pocket and simply check all kinds of messages on your watch," Hon Hai chairman Terry Gou told shareholders.
The company plans to add new features to the device in the future, such as fingerprint detection.
Apple has also been rumored to be making a smartwatch, already dubbed the 'iWatch'.

Requirements

  • 5-10 minutes of your time!
  • A computer running Windows or Mac OS X


Important! Read this or you may regret it!

  • SemiRestore supports Windows XP SP3 or higher, OS X 10.6 or higher, and Ubuntu 12.10 or higher (or the equivalent Linux).
  • There may be a better way to fix your current problem. For example, to fix "Safe Mode" issues, you can just uninstall Mobile Substrate from Cydia.
  • Like any other restore, make sure you backup your data if you want it later.
  • Avoid using your iOS device or anything related to iTunes or XCode during the Semi-Restore. Why not actually go outside?
  • This process can not and does not repair broken system files! Avoid all Siri Ports, as they are not only illegal (except for Spire on 5.0.1) but they also create problems and may potentially break system files (even Spire can cause this).
  • Your device will respring or reboot several times during the Semi-Restore. This is perfectly normal, so don't panic.

Boom!!! iPhone 5S Revealed in New Photos

The images, obtained by MacRumors, appear to show a near fully assembled next-generation iPhone, minus the display assembly. However, a closer inspection seems to yield more questions than answers.
It should be noted that we cannot confirm the veracity of the photos, and offers the following analysis for purposes of discussion only.
Colored boxes added to original photo. Green: in line with previous "leaks;" Red: questionable content. | Original image source: MacRumors
At first glance, the image of the supposed iPhone 5S internals looks to be in line with rumored parts leaks, which include the handset's logic board, loudspeaker, SIM card tray, vibration motor, and other smaller components. Taken part by part and compared with recent rumored parts leaks, the photos appear to show either an early prototype, or a hybrid of the current iPhone 5 with components from an as yet unreleased version of Apple's smartphone.
From the top left: the vibration motor is clearly visible and has a single weight. This is counter to a recent photo that suggests the next-gen iPhone will use a dual-weight system. There is also a slight crimp in the attachment arm, which on the iPhone 5 is at a perfect 90-degree angle. This, along with the off-center contact plate, shows the motor has been previously removed, replaced, or damaged.
The logic board looks to be the same part revealed earlier this week, as seen by the display connectors, which are in a different layout compared to the iPhone 5. Photos of the alleged iPhone 5S display assembly and attached flex cables matched up with the board's connections almost perfectly, suggesting the two parts may be legitimate.
Below the display plugs is an unlabeled processor with a small Apple logo. Here, the capacitor arrangement appears to line up with the CPU, but as MacRumors notes, the screen-printed numbering suggests this chip was made in late October of 2012, a very early run for a next-gen handset. This could be evidence that the components pictured, or at least the logic board and processor, are early prototypes and not reflective of a near-final production version.
At the bottom of the picture is the speaker sitting atop flex cables belonging to the microphone and Lightning dock connector. These parts are identical to supposedly leaked components pictured earlier this month.
Finally, the battery carries markings that, if legitimate, point to a capacity of 5.92 Watt-hours. In comparison, the iPhone 5 has a 5.45 Whr unit.
The second image allegedly shows the handset's back casing, though this photo contains details that are somewhat incongruent with a next-gen handset. For example, the model number appears to read "A1214," a designation never before seen on an iPhone. The original iPhone and iPhone 3G bore "A12XX" model numbers, while the iPhone 3GS to 4S carried numbers in the "A13XX" range. Apple's GSM version of the iPhone 4S moved into the "A14XX" tier, which continues with the current iPhone 5.
It is possible that the number seen on this particular casing reads "A1234," signifying a probable prototype, but the fourth digit is not curved and looks to be either a "1" or a "7" when enhanced.
Despite being quite blurry, the image clearly shows the much-rumored dual-flash positioned near the rear-facing camera. Interestingly, the chamfered edge on the left side of the phone is in crisp focus while the rest of the photo is not.
Taking the above into consideration, along with the visible wear and tear to the chassis, it can be speculated that the image shows an early prototype. If indeed legitimate, the part demonstrates that Apple changed very little in the way of design, and is only looking to upgrade the device's internals.

The Next iOS 7 Beta Could Arrive On Monday

We have handed on iOS 7 for days, and still these are some bugs we've found, so we're expecting the iOS 7 beta 2, If you’re wondering when the next beta version of iOS 7 will be released, go ahead and circle next Monday, June 24. Thanks to Cult of Mac, who has whipped out its calculator to give some rough estimates of when to expect each beta of the next-generation operating system.
Thanks to information from Will Hains, here is what the site came up with:
Using this data, we calculated the average time it took for an iOS x.0 beta release to move on to the next beta. Here’s what we found:
• Beta 1 – lasts 14.75 days
• Beta 2 – lasts 15.4 days
• Beta 3 – lasts 15 days
• Beta 4 – lasts 18.6 days
• Beta 5 – lasts 17.8 days
• Beta 6 – lasts 11 days
So if Apple keeps to this schedule with iOS 7, here are the iOS 7 release dates we’re looking at:
• Beta 2 – Monday, June 24th
• Beta 3 – Wednesday, July 10th
• Beta 4 – Thursday, July 25th
• Beta 5 – Monday, August 12th
• Beta 6 – Friday, August 30th
• Gold Master – Tuesday, September 10th
• iOS 7 Final – Friday, September 20th
If Apple does indeed release the second beta of iOS 7 on Monday, hopefully the version of the OS for the iPad will also be introduced.
The iOS 7 for iPad simulator shows us a good idea of what we might expect when the mobile OS hits the iPad. We already have an idea of what iOS 7 on the iPhone looks like, the beta is widely available to developers and we have it installed on our own devices, but Apple’s plans for the iPad still remain somewhat of a mystery. We published a handful of screenshots from the newtablet-bound operating system this morning, and now there’s even more to share, thanks to a developer named Sonny Dickson and 9to5Mac.
Thankfully the simulator gives us a glimpse of what we can expect when Apple does indeed release iOS 7 for the iPad. No, this isn’t the final version — it’s unofficial — and we bet that Apple will make a lot of tweaks to take advantage of the additional screen real estate that an iPad offers. We imagine Apple will walk us through all of the features when it introduces its next iPad, presumable sometime in the early fall.
