Awesome Apple

The Flux+Flap is a case, cover and stand combo for the iPad 2 and later. It has a magnetic track that lets you get the viewing angle you want. It also lets you stick the iPad to magnetic surfaces. The cover can also be easily removed.

An iPad case that also has room for other personal items – headphones, charger, iPad stand etc. Like the other BookBook cases, the Travel Journal has a durable exterior that looks like a leather bound book cover.

Now that we’ve been using iOS 7 for a while, we’re used to it. But its new icons have been criticized for being too primitive. Now we know why. Though if you can create Pac-Man in Excel, we guess anything’s possible. (Thanks Flex!)

It may look the same as last year’s model, but the new iPad Mini is a beast, because it has the same specs as the new iPad Air. It now has a 2048 x 1536 7.9″ screen, 64-bit A7 CPU, M7 motion processor and MIMO Wi-Fi antennas.

The new iPad Air weighs 28% less and is 20% thinner than the current-gen 9.7-inch tablet. It’s also got the new 64-bit A7 CPU, M7 motion processor, improved cameras, MIMO Wi-Fi antennas, and still offers 10-hour battery life.

The iPhone 5C has a glossy polycarbonate case that comes in five colors: green, blue, yellow, pink and white. It has the same specs as the iPhone 5, except it has a slightly larger battery, an improved LTE antenna and Facetime camera.

The 5S comes in slate, silver or champagne tinged aluminum, bests the iPhone 5 with a 64-bit A7 processor, 2x CPU/GPU speed, 15% larger image sensor, multi-hue LED flash, 120fps slow-mo video, and fingerprint authentication.

Apple’s App Store turned five this year. To celebrate, they’re giving away five apps and five games for free this week, including Infinity Blade II, Traktor DJ and Badland. Click the link to open the App Store. List of freebies here.

Coming this fall, iOS 7 completely overhauls the user interface, opting for a more minimal and layered design. It also – finally! – has a shortcut to oft-toggled settings as well as a better app-switching interface. More at Apple.

Thanks to Intel’s new “Haswell” CPUs, the 2013 Air has better performance and battery life. The 11″ Air lasts up to 9h while the 13″ lasts up to 12h. Their storage capacities also increased, while their price got slashed by $100.

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.
