How To Disable Apps' Access to Mobile Data in The New iOS 7.

Recently, iOS 7 was launched by Apple Inc. and packed with the new and fancy features, is a new look given to the iOS 7.
The old shiny, sparkling and lively user interface of the previous iOS versions have been replaced by a simple, flat and somewhat colorful iOS 7. 
That being said, the new iOS 7 also includes a number of new hidden features that have been hidden from the average user, one of which is the background app refresh.
You can actually stop apps that you've allowed to refresh in the background from consuming your precious mobile data (MB). 
Reasons why you might want to stop these apps from accessing your mobile data include:
1) You don't have an active mobile data plan yet. 
2) Maybe you do have a mobile data plan, but it's not unlimited. 
If your apps are data-suckers (which is the case for many iOS apps that need an active internet connection), then it won't take long before you are out of your monthly allotment. Turning off access to mobile data would surely help you reduce costs.
To do turn off apps access to mobile data, simply:
1) Launch your Settings app. 
2) Navigate to Cellular 
3) Scroll down to where you see a section titled; Use Cellular Data For: (you should now see a list of apps with toggle switches next to each one.

4) Turn off any of the apps that you want to stop from using your mobile data. You can do this by clicking in the toggle switch beside the app. 
Additional Tip 
To find out how and which if your apps are suckling your data the most, go to the same app list in step 3 above. 
You'll  see “KB” or “MB” next to a number (under the app name) next to it. That is how much of your mobile data in Kilobytes (or Megabytes as the case may be) 
that app has used.

Chuzzy 0 Apple, iOS, iPad, iPhone, Mobile 6:53 am

With all the hype around the corner about the new <a href="http://apple.com">Apple</a> iOS update. I decided to publish this article to ease those who would want to know more about the update. 
Here, I have picked out five articles from around the web that might help you do just that-know more about the update :). 
Apple 
All the way from <a href="http://www.apple.com">Apple's website</a> comes a firsthand review on what's in it for you in the new iOS. Some of the features include, new Notification Center, Centralised Control Center, Improved Web Browsing, More Advanced Siri etc. 
See more of what's new on <a href="http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/">Apple's website</a>. 
The Verge 
Okay, maybe you are not at all satisfied with what's there on Apple's website, a trip to the Verge's <a href="http://www.theverge.com">website</a> where author, <a href="http://www.theverge.com/users/Aaron%20Souppouris">Aaron Souppouris</a>, exposes 15 best hidden features you can see on the new iOS update. Well, enough babbling and let's take a sneak peak at <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/18/4741412/the-best-hidden-features-in-ios-7">15 best hidden features in the new iOS 7.</a> 
Forbes 
While there's so much excitement about the all new iOS, there seems to be some things that Apple forgot to or didn't find necessary to put in place. <a href="http://www.forbes.com">Forbes'</a> contributing author, Mark Rogowsky has given us a rundown of those seven things Apple forgot to fix, or better still did not deem it necessary to fix, change or tweak a little. <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/markrogowsky/2013/09/18/7-misses-in-ios-7/">Here's the full list of seven </a><a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/markrogowsky/2013/09/18/7-misses-in-ios-7/">misses</a><a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/markrogowsky/2013/09/18/7-misses-in-ios-7/"> on the new iOS.</a> 
Zdnet 
Also, if you are skeptical about upgrading, you might as well be on track. A couple of reasons would be:
1)  the fact that it's impossible to downgrade to iOS 6.
2) that as of this very moment, there's no jailbreak in for the iOS 7 yet. 
3) some apps might not function as expected due to the OS change.  Which means iOS app developers might have to tweak their apps to suit Apple's iOS 7's demands. 
You want  to see more reasons? Then Zdnet's <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/why-you-should-not-immediately-upgrade-to-ios-7-7000020792/">six reasons to delay your iOS 7 upgrade</a> article might as well be helpful. 
Lifehacker 
Just like everything that has pretty good features, there might be one, two or three annoying features. Well, iOS 7 OS is no exception of that rule as Lifehacker's article  has exposed <a href="http://www.lifehacker.com/ios-7s-biggest-annoyances-and-how-to-fix-them-1334420963">six (6) annoying things on the new iOS 7 and how to fix them</a>. Some of the annoying things include:
1) reduced battery life thanks to the new background app refresh. 
2) control center popping up while in the middle of a game like Temple Run courtesy of the new gesture for control center! 
3) More at <a href="http://www.lifehacker.com/ios-7s-biggest-annoyances-and-how-to-fix-them-1334420963">Lifehacker</a> ;). 
That's about that for the things you need to know about the all new iOS 7. :) 
If you happen to have some other tips for our iOS users, a comment in the comment section would be very much appreciated!

iOS 7 Update For iPhone And iPad: How To Download and Install The Update!

Chuzzy 1 Apple, iOS, iPad, iPhone 9:48 pm

As we already know,  Apple launched iOS 7 for her esteemed users and customers sometime yesterday, Wednesday the 18th of September, 2013.
Folks over at <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com">Hongkiat</a> have given a detailed explanation on how to install the iOS 7 update with the necessary download links (for manual updates). 
There are two ways to carry out this update viz:
1) Automatic OTA (Over The Air) update from the device’s settings and 
2) Manual update by downloading the .ipsw and installing it via iTunes. 
The first method of update (OTA) seems to be more appealling if you ask me.
I've gotta warn you though, that this update would take a lot of time to finish as:
1) all the updates files for all the various versions of both iPhones and iPads are a little over 1GB in size... 
2) alot of iOS users would be wanting to access Apple's servers to have a feel of what the iOS has in store for them. 
Last year, when the iOS 6 was launched, <a href="http://bgr.com/2012/09/24/iphone-5-launch-sales-2012/">over 100  million users updated their devices within the space of 1 week</a>. 
A little patience would do you a lot of good. 
However, if you still choose to install the iOS 7 update right away, you can visit <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/ios-7-download-links-and-installation/">Hongkiat</a> to see the procedures involved. 
Note: 
1) Watch out for the explanation on how to identify your device type. 
2) Make sure you select the right download link for your device. 
If you adhere to the above notes, then you're pretty much out of harm's way. 
So, enjoy your new iOS 7 and don't forget to take a look at features of the new iOS 7.
