New in the shop today: The iPhone Shutter Grip!
It’s an ergonomic grip that gives you a hold on your iPhone and adds a shutter button right where you’re used to having one.
It even has a built-in tripod mount for long-exposures, self-portraits, and the like.
As anyone who watches Apple closely knows, analysts are absolutely fucktarded when it comes to Apple. If you bet directly against what they’ve said about the company over the years, you’d be a very rich person. They’re always wrong. And it’s clear that the vast majority of them do not understand the company.~ MG Siegler (via nikf)
Apple Sends Out Official Invites for iPhone 5 Event
Here we go!! It’s official! A special iPhone event will be held next Tuesday, October 4th at the company’s Town Hall auditorium at its headquarters in Cupertino, California.
A wacky range of iPhone cases has been designed to help disguise the fact you are chatting on your mobile. The £13 EARonic cases feature realistic images of ears so it doesn’t look as if you have a handset pressed to the side of your head. Designed by Daniela Gilsanz, a design student at RISD (The Rhode Island School of Design), they can be bought online from www.collabcubedshop.com. You can choose from a range of styles: Finley (plain white ear); Luna (female multi-pierced ear); Razor (male multi-pierced ear); Dylan (plain black ear); and Nick (blue-tooth on ear).

Neven Mrgan's tumbl: Labeling the Back button
Most “deep” apps require some amount of navigation, moving the user deeper into child views and then back out to the parent view. That navigational backtracking is typically done with a “Back” button, positioned in the top-left corner, and denoted by a pointed left side. You’ve all seen it:

New Instagram 2.0: The Worst Version Yet
Hey Instagram, I don’t care how many “hip new filters” you added or how “web 3.0” your interface looks when your damn app is riddled with more bugs than the day you released it!
I can’t believe this release made it out the door. I am not happy.
I tried three times to post a picture with a filter and tiltshift applied, and all it posts to my Tumblr feed is a giant blue square with no image. I think the culprit here is the new tiltshift mechanism. Because I just posted two other images to Tumblr fine with no issues, but they were not using tiltshift.
Not to mention, the app randomly crashed on me TWICE in 5 minutes while I was editing photos and all my work was completely lost.
Every time I try to post my picture, the post fails and I have to hit refresh like 5 times for it to register and post the picture.
And lastly, I love your new filter gallery but I HATE that entire bar at the top of the app. None of the icons make sense, I have no idea what they do, nothing is labeled, and I have no idea why you chose to flash things on the screen when making a selection.
Apple iOS Gripes #03
Apple needs to build a check into the App Store that tells you whether or not you are attempting to download an app that is not compatible with your device.
And if you still choose to ignore the warning and download the app, then your ability to review the app in the App Store should be revoked.
Too many morons, with too much free time on their hands have nothing better to do than to hurt the rankings and efforts of a hard working developers by complaining about an app that won’t launch when the description clearly stated it would not work on their device.
This has got to stop and Apple is the only one who can fix it.
An Apple employee has left another iPhone prototype at a bar in San Francisco, reports Cnet. Apparently the loss occurred in the Mission district in late July, according to their sources. The lost iPhone went missing at Cava 22, a ‘tequila lounge’, after which Apple contacted the San Francisco Police to get assistance in securing its return. Apple apparently told the police that the device was priceless and was ‘desperate’ to get it back.~ Apple loses another unreleased iPhone prototype at a bar - TNW Apple (via thenextweb)
