But the latest iOS 7 beta 1 has got to be the easiest to bypass. Earlier lockscreen bypassntechniques involved pressing the physical buttons of the device within a small time frame. This was complicated and was not easily reproducible.

Larger Screened iPhone!

The iPhone 5 was the first in the iPhone series to get a bigger screen from Apple and there are now rumours out there that Next Gen iPhones may even face larger screens still.

Both Technobuffalo and Reuters are reporting that Apple are testing out larger displays on their device despite what Tim Cook has said.

Report suggest that for Apple to keep up with other manufactures that are pushing out displays around the 5″ mark then Apple seriously need to do something. Screen sizes for new iPhone models are being suggested as 4.7 & 5.7 inches.

Personally  I have not yet used a device that has felt more comfortable in the hand with a screen size larger than the iPhone 5.

WWDC 13 Keynote now Available to Download in iTunes

wwdc-large-1-620x365

So you missed the live stream, haven’t had time to sit in front of your computer to watch the keynote and have had your head under a rock for the last day or so and you know nothing about what happened at Apple’s WWDC 13 Event! Well you’re in luck, Apple has made the Keynote available as a download from iTunes.

The keynote can be found on iTunes by searching for Apple WWDC 13 Keynote (or you can just click the link).

The Keynote can also be downloaded straight onto your iOS device using the Apple Podcast App.

WWDC 13 Keynote is around 2 hours long and is nearly 3GB, so you may want to grab a beer and get some snacks ready while it downloads.

It’s worth downloading the keynote again in my opinion and giving it a watch even if you have seen it once or know what happened just in case you missed something.
