These gadgets are created with a simple user interface so that they can be used by different people in the community to fulfill different tasks.

Create App Folders on iPhones or iPads

IPhones act as a storage device for various files and apps that may be of great importance to the user. Learning how to create app folders on iPhones or iPads gives you the chance to organize your programs for easy access whenever you need them.

Before you even start learning how to perform this task, the device should be operating on iOS 4.0 or later. This functionality makes it possible for iPads to store approximately 4,400 apps in its folders while on the other hand, iPhones can store over 2000 apps. Proper storage means that you can categorize the apps depending on the functionality, importance and how frequently you need them. Listed below are tips on how to create app folders on iPhones or iPads.

Step 1: Holding the App

You need to identify the exact app that should be transferred into the folder. Hold your finger on the app for some seconds until it shakes. This is also the same way to arrange different apps on your device.

Step 2: Dragging the App

After the selected app starts to shake, drag it on top of another. This will automatically create a new folder that contains both apps. You will also notice that a new folder has appeared during this process.

Step 3: Dragging More Apps

This stage is all about dragging the selected apps into the new folder that has just been created in the previous step. Such devices support thousands of apps and you do not have to worry about the possibility of the folder being filled up quickly. It is also good to arrange the apps by prioritizing the most important ones.

Step 4: Naming the Folder

After dragging all the necessary apps, it is now time to give the folder a suitable name. Also bear in mind that these folders are automatically given a name depending on the App Store category of the apps included in them. Feel free to select your desired name as you rename the new folders that have been created in your device.

What to do if You Experience Problems When Creating App Folders

Some users experience various difficulties when creating new folders for apps. This might even lead to serious mistakes that need specialized attention within the shortest time possible. But thanks to the presence of tech-savvy companies such as www.ifixyouri.com, you do not have to worry about the possibility of your device failing to operate again.

The Most Unbelievable iPhone Stories

Leave a comment

The introduction of the iPhone is one of the greatest technological inventions in the 21st century. It has created a buzz the world over thanks to its smart features and programs that are aimed at simplifying human tasks. However, there are some unbelievable iPhone stories that you never heard of. These stories happened in real life where the iPhone was involved directly or indirectly.

The story of the Australian businessman

As expensive as it sounds, an anonymous Australian businessman ordered a diamond iPhone worth £ 1.92 million. Its casing was made of 271 grams of gold, the front part had 136 diamonds and the back consisted of 53 other precious metals. The navigation button at the front was made of a single diamond of not less than seven carat thus making it the most expensive phone in the whole world.

The Story of the Thumb Surgery

A man from North Denver reportedly underwent thumb surgery because he could not use the iPhone properly due to the wide surface at the tip of his finger. Finger whittling is a surgical procedure that involves the creation of a small incision along the fingers while trimming the bones. Reports indicate that journalists did not have the chance to cover more details about the story since the doctor and the writer could not be traced. Whether it is true or false, it still remains a popular story among iPhone users.

The Story of The Man Who Escaped Death Thanks to The iPhone

Dan Woolley, a famous U.S. filmmaker was on a video shoot about the high levels of poverty in Haiti when a terrible earthquake struck. He almost died but thanks to the help of an iPhone first aid app known as Pocket First Aid and CPR, he survived. This app gave him step by step instructions on how to take care of his wounds. It even warned him against falling asleep whenever he felt weak and drowsy. He decided to set his alarm to ring after every 20 minutes just to keep him awake and this definitely worked when a rescue team from France discovered where he had been staying in an elevator shaft thus saving him from the jaws of death.

The Story of The Woman Who Got Pregnant Thanks to The iPhone

Lena Bryce had not known the joy of having a baby for more than four years but things changed when she downloaded The Menstrual Calendar iPhone app that is designed to alert women when their fertility is at the highest point. Lena Bryce became pregnant when she gave it yet another optimistic attempt after being alerted by the iPhone app. These are the most unbelievable iPhone stories in the world but due to the growing number of users, you are bound to hear more.

The Public’s Problem With Apple: iPhone 5, iPad Mini and iPad

Leave a comment
Problems with Apple

Much like the Apple stock prices, the company has had a year of ups and downs. While Apple has made great strides in the creation of the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini, the spotlight shines on every stumble the company makes.

Apple’s Biggest Blunders

Now, it should be stated that a ground breaking company such as Apple that has introduced the world to so many devices we now wonder how we ever lived without, is allowed the occasional hurdle. The bottom line is that much of the criticism stems out of comparison to previous models and short of any unexpected accidents that may result in a device requiring professional repair, they are all quality products. That being said, here are some of the issues.

The Lost Maps of Apple

The disaster of Apple’s Maps app caused something that is rare from the company, a public apology by Tim Crook, CEO. Not only was this app bad, it was godawful, what with it giving users the wrong directions and the lack of public transportation information. Things just got worse when late night talk show hosts began to make the app the butt of their jokes.

This app is the biggest blunder for Apple this year for many reasons. Arguably the most vital app on iPhone as well as other devices, it is imperative that the app is right. Because Apple decided to make Google Maps unavailable it its app store, the company looks petty.

Apple has always been concerned about holding the experience of the user above all else. However, because Steve Jobs passed away a year before Maps came onto the scene does not fare well for those people who are newly in charge of the company.

The Not So New, New iPad

In the past, two things always held true with a new version of iPad: the marketing team at Apple built hype before the release date, and the product lived up to the hype.

With the creation of the original iPad came the creations of the touch-tablet. The second- generation brought forth a lighter and faster version. The third-generation improved on the graphics.

However, the marketing team dropped the ball with the announcement of the fourth-generation when it was introduced at the time the iPad Mini was being announced.

With the fourth-generation comes very little newness. While Apple touts that this iPad has retina display, the third-generation iPad was actually the first to have this feature. The only things new about this particular iPad is that it contains a faster chip and a Lightning connector.

Is This The New iPhone 5s (in Gold)?

Leave a comment
Gold iPhone 5s
Notice the difference in color from both the black and white versions.

Over at Buzzfeed, new photos have leaked showing what looks like it could be the new gold iPhone 5s we mentioned the other day. No word on whether these photos are legit, but it does seem to be the same size as the other two. Buzzfeed goes on to write:

“The blog that posted the images said the new “champagne gold” colored shell was provided by mobile phone parts supplierMoumontai. BuzzFeed could not verify the authenticity of the images.”

According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is slated to announce its new device on September 10. Looks like we’ll find out in a couple weeks! Head over to Buzzfeed to see the other photos.

New iPhone Going Gold

Leave a comment

Gold iPhone?Looks like the iPhone is getting a new color – first black, then white, and now gold? The folks over at Techcrunch say so:

Yes, there will be a gold iPhone.

That’s the latest I’m hearing from multiple sources after several weeks of rumors and possible component leaks suggesting the same thing. At first, I couldn’t believe Apple would break from the tradition of offering the simple choice: black and white (or “slate” and “silver” if you prefer for the iPhone 5) for their flagship device. Gold simply seemed too gaudy, perhaps even tacky. But a few compelling arguments countered my disbelief. And now, upon checking, sure enough, there will be gold.

On Friday, Rene Ritchie of iMore, made the most compelling argument for the golden iPhone yet. After hearing from his own sources that the gold iPhone seemed to be real, Ritchie checked with his colleague Ally Kazmucha, who noted that gold would be one of the “easiest colors to anodize onto an iPhone”. Much easier than say, black (which is likely why the current black iPhone 5 has more of a “slate” back color).

It will be interesting to see if this trend of new colors continues as the iPhone evolves. The article goes on to talk about the rumored iPhone 5C and iPhone 5s:

Finally, I think one more reason why we’re seeing this golden iPhone now may be related to the rumored “iPhone 5C” device — that is, the lower-cost iPhone. While I have no concrete information about that device, there seems to be way too much smoke around it both existing and launching in several colors, for there not to be fire.

(I also wonder if the recent push by Apple to sell more iPhones from their own Apple Stores has to do with the strategy for the iPhone 5C roll-out.)

On his The Talk Show podcast this past week, John Gruber and I talked a bit about how Apple might differentiate the rumored iPhone 5S from the rumored iPhone 5C. Beyond speed and price, color seems likely to be a key differentiator. It’s entirely possible that Apple decided to keep the focus on white and black (again, silver and slate) for the high-end model, while choosing more playful colors for the lower end. But some people, bored of black and white, may have opted for the 5C simply to add some color to their iLives. So the gold iPhone 5S (with a white front plate, one would assume) would seem to be a decent compromise in that scenario.

We’ll keep you posted as we learn more stuff. We’re always excited when new Apple products are concerned . . .
