Imagine all the things that our phones get to see. I mean, they’re pretty much with us every step of the way. It can be a camera for concerts, a music player for parties, a distraction on dates, the only light source for the lonely nights at home, and everything in between. To see things from our phone’s perspective…
Because dropping the iPhone 6 on the sidewalk is not enough and because soaking it in liquid nitrogen to shatter it and shooting it with a .50 cal is a little too unfair, RatedRR decided to do the ultimate drop test for the new iPhone: dropping it while skydiving in a wingsuit thousands of feet in the air.
Though the new iPhone is called the iPhone 6, we're actually on the 8th generation of iPhone that has existed. But who cares about that. Let's just see how much the camera—maybe the most important feature on the iPhone after messaging—has improved over those 8 generations. Hint: a lot.
The Oscars 2014 feel like (are?) a commercial for Samsung, with Ellen DeGeneres flashing a Galaxy Note and taking selfies left right and center. It's ridiculous. Backstage? She actually used her iPhone, of course. PR people will never learn.
The first iPhone was a true breakthrough that shaped the multitouch-dominated world we live in. It took its clues from everyday objects to create a familiar experience that was instantly understood (and copied.) Years later it got stuck in those successful metaphors but, instead of working in another breakthrough,…
SkyGuide's creator Nick Risinger had to travel more than 60,000 miles by airplane and car to collect 37,000 individual photos to create this single image, the largest true-color image of the entire sky ever made: 100,000 by 50,000 pixels.
Dear Lifehacker,
I'm about to sell my phone, and I want to erase my data. Are the built-in methods secure? Could someone with data recovery software still uncover my private information?
You know the feeling. You and a friend are having a conversation via text and the little bubble with the blinking dots shows up indicating that she's typing. So much anticipation! You'd stare at those dots for hours waiting for a text, wouldn't you? Wouldn't it be funny if the dots just kept blinking?
Attention, Mac people who just bought or are about to receive a new iPhone. If your old iPhone is still fairly new, you don’t have any kids yammering for an iPod Touch (that you want to give them), and you have no other reason to keep it, you should probably sell it.
Saturday is the second anniversary of Steve Jobs's death, and a lot of remembrances are making their way around the web. One of the most revealing comes from the New York Times Magazine who just published a sprawling report on the original iPhone. Long story short, that thing was a mess.
Since the iPhone 5S landed in the hands of new owners a few weeks ago, there have been reports that on-board sensors like the gyroscope, compass, and accelerometer haven't been working properly on some devices. We've confirmed the new iPhone's failings on our own. It's not just off. It's embarrassing.
You know what's better than meat? The smell of meat. That is, should you be a carnivore. And if you are and can't afford proper meat, there's a Japanese gadget for you.
While your iPhone's new operating system comes with plenty of advantages, iOS 7's not without its drawbacks. Battery life just ain't quite what you'd want it to be, but we've got some tips to squeeze the most out of that sucker and stay juiced all day long.
Why do these people still wait in line to buy a new iPhone? Or a new console? Or a new game? What's the point? Do they think they're going to be more special than the rest of the world for 24 hours? A week perhaps? This video tries to get some answers.
If true, this is really weird. This video shows a Japanese iPhone 5S user using his nipples to lock and unlock the new iPhone 5S, which has a fingerprint sensor built-in. Apparently, the sensor works on nipples and toes!
You can upgrade your iPhone and iPad now with iOS 7. You probably have a lot of questions about it—here are all the answers you need.
Gizmodo's Kyle Wagner makes a great argument for an easy feature that should be implemented by every phone manufacturer: require a passcode to turn it off. That alone could stop thieves from stealing your phone, because the phone will stay on to be tracked.

Apple is announcing new iThings today, including a gold iPhone that's going to be all the rage among Chinese people and ABBA fans. Check out the live coverage at Gizmodo.
In the early 1980s Apple had a sign in its offices: "Loose Lips Sink Ships." The British World War II slogan was a reminder that extreme secrecy—Steve Jobs' obsession—was needed to succeed. Now, the secrecy—and all the excitement—is gone. But does anyone, except the diehard fans, really care?
