iOS 7 just hit the public yesterday and it already has a major security flaw. Today an eagle-eyed user out there was able to discover a way to bypass the passcode-protected lockscreen and get  access to the device’s photos app, which open the gate for entry into the phone’s email and social network accounts. The way you can bypass the passcode is by accessing the alarm clock feature through Control Center, head to multitasking menu and hit the camera app from there. This issue runs through all versions of iOS 7, including 7.0.1 on the 5S tech site  Engadget  tested the hack on. This isn’t the first time Apple had a major bug comprise lockscreen security on its iProducts. We’re hoping the company readies a fix to blast out to us very shortly. Apple will more than likely serve up a software patch to close this gaping security hole, as it preps a 7.0.2 update. However, for the time being, we’d recommend folks who are worried about this to disable access to Control Center (in the settin

T-Mobile really did shake up the entire U.S. wireless industry with its JUMP! early upgrade program. Verizon and AT&T followed pretty quickly with their own offerings that ended up being a total rip-off. According to a report from  CNET , Sprint is now preparing an early upgrade option of their own. Called One Up, Sprint has put together an early upgrade plan that is closer toT-Mobile’s JUMP! than Verizon’s Edge or AT&T’s NEXT options. We’ve confirmed through two sources that One Up is real. This may actually be a decent deal for Sprint customers that want a new phone every year. One Up is a payment plan that lets Sprint customers break up the cost of a new phone or tablet over 24 monthly installments, with the last installment being slightly higher or lower depending on the cost of the device. A new smartphone that sells for $649.99 at full retail price would end up being $27 a month, with the last payment being $28.99. Subscribers who sign up for One Up can then trade their d

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NEW APPLE A7 SYSTEM-ON-A-CHIP WITH 64-BIT ARMV8 ARCHITECTURE FOR TWICE THE SPEED, TWICE THE GRAPHICS, TWICE THE REGISTERS, AND OPENGL ES 3.0 FOR EVEN GREATER GAMING! At the heart of every iPhone 5s beats an Apple A7 system-on-a-chip (SOC). That's the term for a central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), and other components like random-access memory (RAM) spun together into a single, integrated chip. The big news is that the Apple A7 is twice as fast at both general purpose and graphics processing as its predecessor, the Apple A6, yet remains roughly the same size. The bigger news is that the Apple A7 is 64-bit, and the first 64-bit processor crafted for a consumer smartphone, and that it supports OpenGL ES 3.0, and comes with a companion chip, the M7 motion coprocessor. Note: There's not a lot of real information available on the Apple A7 yet. Apple hasn't released much and they probably never will. It's not the

With yesterday’s announcement from Apple of the new iPhone 5s sporting its latest iOS 7, it is inevitable that we compare it with the latest Android 4.3, announced on July 24 at “Breakfast with Pichai.” Currently the flagship OSs from both Apple and Google, we must look at how they are different, but also how they are similar to one another. Has Apple really shown us anything new in iOS 7 that we have not already experienced in Android 4.3, or even 4.2? There was a time when Android was scurrying to catch up to iOS, but this is no longer the case, as Apple’s critics clamored to add more Android-like features, like notifications and true multi-tasking. Let us look at how well Apple has answered those criticisms in iOS 7 and the new iPhone 5s. While Android 4.3 was more an iterative upgrade, iOS 7 is a total reworking of what was an aging operating system with a fresh looking icons and interface. Apple executive, Jony Ive, the designer of the iPhone and iPad, is a fan of translucent elem

iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are the same as iPhone 5S, Apple Representative says in video Apple representatives says in a video posted on Youtube that the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are the same as iPhone 5. They are just the minor changes in operating system i-e iOS 7 in iPhone 5S and 5C and a little change in the build quality. Rest all of the features are same as in iPhone 5. They are claiming that iPhone 5 is the best phone made by Apple and they are very proud to be the part of iPhone 5 production. With no change in iPhone 4S last year compared to iPhone 4, Apple mentioned that they had sold million of iPhone 4S units and its just becuase its Apple's iPhone.  The only change in terms of Hardware in iPhone 5S and 5C is the charging cable that has been  replaced by Lightening S (Its what they call it in the video).

“What we know so far” may be something of an exaggeration, since we really don’t know anything absolutely. Yet. That said, we’ve heard so many rumors and seen so many leaks that – with less than a week to go until launch – we decided it’d be a good thing to revisit everything we’ve read so far. Design Apple’s next flagship phone is almost certainly going to be the iPhone 5S. The company’s 7th new smartphone. On the design front, the name says it all. Going on previous ‘S’ versions of iPhones, it’s pretty clear that we shouldn’t expect anything other than a clone of the iPhone 5. Except with a few changes under the hood. On that note, we can expect the same combination of glass and aluminum, with the two-tone back. But it’s on the color options front that we find ourselves looking for change in 2013. Last year, the iPhone 5 debuted in two options: Black/Slate and White/Silver. This year there’s one almost certain addition and another highly doubtful one. The champagne gold and white lea

It's a holiday weekend in the U.S. and Canada, and that means it's time for iMore's editorial Oompa-Loompas to share with you a selection of our most used apps. Webcam Settings -  Richard Devine There are some great webcams out there in the world to use with your Mac, such as the Logitech C920, but the support software is less than great. By less than great I mean non-existent in many cases. Being able to plug in a webcam and have it just work is fine, but what if you want or need to adjust the sharpness, or the white balance, or many other settings? That's where Webcam Settings comes into play. It's nothing fancy, it's basically a settings panel that lets you adjust various different settings of your webcam on the fly. There's more simple stuff such as contrast, brightness and sharpness, as well as more advanced tools such as backlight compensation and anti-flicker. It would be nice to get such software from the manufacturers like Logitech, but in the absen

Apple  has applied for two patents that would help its products adjust itself to the specifications of a set user. This special technology will happen by way of a selective screen brightness control and auto camera switching during FaceTime video calls. Pursuing this further, the way the first patent works is it allows users to selectively adjust brightness and contrast of different user interface elements independently of one another. Without going crazy on explaining settings no one has tangible info on (because it doesn’t exist within an Apple product yet), it’s important to mention that the most important thing about it will be the battery settings it will garner. In the same way Android already offers this ability to control darker and brighter elements within the software. The second patent is more automated as it will let  Apple  devices switch automatically between front and rear-facing cameras at will thanks to learning how the device owner uses either lens. In order to exe

Buried in an  article about Apple's upcoming Tokyo retail store ,  Bloomberg  briefly mentions that Apple's September 10 media event will see the introduction of not only new iPhone models, but also new iPads. The Cupertino, California-based company plans to introduce new versions of its phone and tablet at a Sept. 10 event, a person familiar with the matter has said, and the company promised “several more game changers” in the product pipeline as it tries to fend off Samsung Electronics Co. and Chinese makers selling cheaper handsets.   The September 10 date for Apple's iPhone media event was  reported by  AllThingsD  earlier this month and  all but confirmed  over the following few days by a number of other sources, but the event had been thought to be focused solely on the iPhone and iOS 7.  Given the casual nature with which  Bloomberg  mentions that new iPads are expected at the event, it is possible that it is an error, as rumors have suggested that the new iPads
