UnityRemote gives your iPhone infra red capabilities
If you’ve been using an iPhone for awhile now, I’m sure you would’ve made use of its Bluetooth/WiFi capabilities to act as a multipurpose remote control. But what about those old devices that you still have around the house and are in perfect working condition but don’t support Bluetooth or WiFi? Those DVD players and TVs that come with Infra Red remote controls for you to use, what do you do about them? UnityRemote helps you communicate with them using your iOS device. All you do is set up the UnityRemote box in the center of your living room (where your IR devices are) and configure the app that comes along with the box. Using Bluetooth, your iPhone communicates with the box, which then sends out instructions in IR to your devices. You’ll never have to say goodbye to your beloved DVD player again! The UnityRemote app also has some additional functions to make your home theater experience better. You can program macro commands (called Actions) that will execute a few commands in a row with the press of a button. I.e. one press to turn on the TV and DVD player, and load whatever is inside the disk tray. Time saving? You bet. The UnityRemote is available on sale for $99 on gear4’s online store.
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
