My iPhone is my utility weapon, acting as my phone, messenger, alarm clock, portable gaming system, and my camera. Smartphones and tablets have all but relegated real cameras to niche items for professional photographers and people who like to spend a lot of money on things.  Taking pictures with the iPhone or iPad is extremely easy, but owning one doesn’t mean that you’ll take  good  pictures. Luckily, pictures that are misaligned and off-center can be straightened using the Camera apps built-in editing tools. How to straighten and realign photos on iPhone and iPad Step 1.  Open the Photos application and select a photo that you wish to straighten. Step 2.  With the image open, tap Edit in the top-right corner. Step 3. This will bring up the editing options below the selected image. Tap on the Crop icon to bring up the cropping options. Step 4.  You should notice a dial beneath your image. Using the dial we can adjus...

The HTC One M9 comes in a variety of colors already, but apparently HTC wasn’t content with not having a phone that wasn’t 24-karat gold. On Friday, June 5, HTC officially unveiled a brand new variant of the One M9, but this one’s a limited edition model. This particular handset is a hallmark to the end of the UEFA Champions League season, as well as the final for the Champions League. It’ll be handed out to a few lucky winners beginning tomorrow, with the UEFA Champions League title on the back. There’s also seating information below that, interestingly enough.

We’ve some great news for jailbreakers eagerly waiting for the iOS 8.3 jailbreak. Pangu team, the Chinese hackers who have released jailbreak tools for iOS 8 – iOS 8.1, and iOS 7 – iOS 7.1.2, have successfully demoed the iOS 8.3 jailbreak at the Mobile Security Conference (MOSEC) in Shanghai. This was confirmed by Pangu team member Daniel_k4 on Chinese social networking site Weibo . However, it looks like we will have to wait a little longer. They plan to release the jailbreak after iOS 8.4 is released to the public, which makes sense. We were expecting Apple to release iOS 8.4 just after the WWDC 2015 keynote on Monday, but the latest rumors suggest that Apple will release iOS 8.4 in late June. It is not clear if Pangu’s iOS 8.3 jailbreak will be compatible with iOS 8.4. Apple has been making it difficult to jailbreak iOS devices by patching vulnerabilities with every iOS update. Apple is expected to make it even more diffic...
