More iPhone 5S Fingerprint Sensor Rumors Surface

I don't know if it's due to a lack of interest, or lack of information, but next generation iPhone rumors have been scarce this year. However, one rumor that has been consistent is that the next generation iPhone will feature a fingerprint sensor. Apple is purportedly working with Chipbond Science and Technology to make the fingerprint sensor a reality, according to the China Times.

The Home button will be transformed into a fingerprint scanner, which will allow users to easily enter passwords or authorize purchases with just the push of a button. This will be a lot easier than having to enter a password every time you want to access your phone, or buy an app, but I doubt Big Brother conspiracy theorists will be big fans.

Sonic Dash Now Available for the iPhone and iPad

SEGA has released another Sonic the Hedgehog game for iOS devices while Mario fans are stuck with cheap ripoffs (see below), or no games at all. Sonic Dash for the iPod, iPhone and iPad was released to the App Store earlier this week. The game is an platform jumper (think Temple Run) featuring Sonic, Tails and Knuckles.

In Sonic Dash users can complete 48 different levels to stop the evil Dr. Eggman in Story Mode, or they can choose to go the endless runner route in Arcade Mode. There is also a Challenge Friends mode where players can compete head-to-head for the highest score. The game includes plenty of power ups, boss battles and the promise of "future free updates".

Speed up iPhone Photo Messaging with QuickPhoto

Ever use emoji when composing a new MMS or iMessage? Even if you haven’t, the concept is simple. Switch keyboards using the globe key and you’re presented with a bunch of little pictures instead of the letters you normally see. Pressing one of the emoji icons will embed the picture right into your outgoing message.

QuickPhoto tweak Cydia iOS

The QuickPhoto tweak does the same thing for actual photos stored on your iPhone. This makes the process of adding pictures or videos from your camera roll and albums faster than the default procedure. Once installed from Cydia on your jailbroken device, simply tap the globe key to bring up the camera roll “keyboard”.

Give the iPhone Desktop File Power with iFile

Normally iOS limits the interaction users can have with the filesystem. This has its pros and cons, but if you’re trying to download and unzip a file it’s definitely a con. The iFile package from Cydia provides desktop-style file system access on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

iFile tweak Cydia iOS

iFile opens up your jailbroken iOS device’s files, so you can manage and customize everything much like the Finder does on a Mac. Several file types can be quickly viewed, and zip archives can be created and decompressed.
