Awesome Apple

Federico Bianco suggests features for the next Apple iOS. Some are borrowed from jailbreak apps – shortcuts to settings, SMS quick reply, downloading files in Safari – but the half-open mode for apps is a novel idea.

Breaking news! Apple is reportedly working to fix its Maps snafu with a global effort that will soon make their app very useful, if not necessary, to get around. We hope Google Planet is finished soon.

A great gift for owners of the iPad Mini. It has the same hardbound covers and dual zippers found in Twelve South’s other BookBook cases, plus a built-in kickstand. Available in black, brown and red.

Make your phone look busted while you’re actually protecting it with this iPhone 5 case that looks like it’s been shattered into hundreds of pieces. Created by ArtizanWork created using 3D printing tech.

The 2012 13-inch MacBook Pro gets a 2560×1600 display, weighs just 3.5 pounds, and is just .75″ thick. Powered by dual-core i5 or i7 “Ivy Bridge” CPU, dual Thunderbolts, 802.11n, and 8GB RAM.

It’s deliciously thin, measuring only 5mm at the edges (fatter in the middle). 21.5″ or 27″ models offer Core i5/i7 CPU, NVIDIA Kepler graphics, up to 32GB RAM and an optional hybrid HDD/SSD.

The tablet Steve Jobs said he never wanted to make is here. With a 7.9″ 1024×768 screen, A5 dual-core processor, and available 4G LTE, it’s just just the thing if you want a one-handed iPad.

Uncover is auctioning off 3 custom Retina MacBook Pros. It has Jonathan Mak’s famous logo and a quote by Jobs on the bottom. Proceeds will be split between a charity and a fundraiser.

The AirBridge lets you mirror your iOS device’s screen to any device with an HDMI or VGA input and even to other iOS devices without the need for a Wi-Fi connection, a power supply or wires.

The new iPod Nano trades its wristwatch form to make room for more features: a bigger (2.5″) multi-touch screen, Bluetooth support, live-pause radio and integrated Nike+ fitness apps.

Has the same 4″ screen as the iPhone 5, the same A5 chip that powers the iPad 2 & 3 and the iPhone 4S, plus a 5mp camera with flash, all fitted into a very slim aluminum body that comes in 5 colors.

With a 4″ 1136×640 Retina display, 4G LTE wireless, 2x faster A6 CPU, iOS 6, upgraded cameras, and a sexy aluminum back, the iPhone 5 is 18% thinner and 20% lighter than the 4S.

Stand out from the Apple sea of white with Eastern Collective’s Collective Cables for iOS devices. The woven braided cords come in 4 different designs. Available this September for $14.

A Bluetooth remote control for Apple computers and mobile devices. Play songs or videos, take pictures or even activate Siri from a distance. Android support is possible but still unspecified.

A 13.3″ MacBook Pro modified into a tablet with a Wacom digitizer interface. It retains all of the laptop’s internal hardware and runs OS X (and Windows by way of Boot Camp).

The top-end laptop for power-users is ridiculously thin at 0.71″ closed, weighs just 4.46 lbs., has a high-res retina display, with a 15.4-inch, 2880×1800 resolution, and solid state storage.

Apple fans looking to upgrade the looks of their Magic Mouse can have it covered in a durable carbon fiber vinyl in black, graphite, silver or white. Mail in your current mouse or get a brand new one.

Dropping Apple’s numeric naming convention, the new iPad gets a crazy 2048×1536 retina display, 5mp iSight camera w/1080p video, a fast quad-core A5X chip, and 4G LTE wireless. Out 3/16.

Apple is set to announce something this week, but we’re not sure a TV is a certainty. Here’s just a few reasons that Siri on a TV might not be the brightest idea. And yes, the misspelling is intentional.

(NSFW: Language) You’ve probably already seen news coverage on Siri’s troubles with Scottish accents. Gavin McInnes provides a little insight to the problem with his own Apple commercial.

From the guys who came up with the iWatch before the iPod Nano 6G, comes a concept camera with interchangeable lenses, an aluminum body, subject-facing screen, and a built-in projector.

The Curly Cable is a charge and sync cable for Apple’s portable devices. Invented by Dev Design, the cable is coiled like a telephone cord, making it tangle-proof and stretchable up to 70″.

With all the buzz about Apple’s Siri, Microsoft didn’t want us to forget that they have a similar technology in Windows Phone called “TellMe”. Here techAU puts the two to the test – with hilarious results.
