Next Generation iPhone Enclosure Measured at 7.6 mm Thick

Apple.pro posts scans of a story that first appeared in Chinese-language newspaper Apple Daily. That publication obtained one of the many “iPhone 5″ enclosures that have been available over the past few weeks and took measurements of them. The thickness of the next generation enclosure was measured at 7.6 mm. The rest of the dimensions appear to be equivalent to circulating specifications leaked by case manufacturers in June:One manufacturer we spoke to said that he was sure that the leaked images were accurate – so sure that he was already preparing to construct iPhone 5 cases and he’d be willing to ship replacements for free if they turned out not to be perfect. He enumerated three big changes from the old iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5: 1

Big updates for Fairway Solitaire and Junk Jack

Two of my favorite iOS games from the last few years have gotten big updates today. Fairway Solitaire is a really brilliant puzzle/card game that combines golf and solitaire in a fun way, and it’s gotten a big update that adds a whole bunch of ongoing content. The game now has a “Daily Mode” where you can play a brand new challenge every single day, and earn new Challenge Cups to unlock even more courses. There’s also a new card back and push notifications — Fairway Solitaire is completely free, and that makes it one of the best cost-to-fun ratio games I’ve ever seen on any platform.

IRIScan Book 2 mobile scanner: Review and giveaway

Although I tend to use my iPhone 4S and Readdle’s Scanner Pro (US$6.99) or JotNot Scanner Pro ($1.99) apps to do most of my scanning, there are still documents that need a regular scanner of some sort. For that, I have an old Epson 4490 Photo scanner, but it has issues handling anything that isn’t flat. For example, I’ve been trying to scan some sections of some really old books into a digital format, but due to the thickness of the book the section nearest the spine of the book is unreadable on a scan. The new IRIScan Book 2 (US$129.00) mobile scanner is a lightweight scanner that can handle a number of document types easily. Design When it comes to portability, the IRIScan Book 2 is almost as easy to carry as an iPhone.
