Read MoreRoundup: Apple’s Back to the Mac event brings iOS and OS X closer together
We weren’t going to post about Apple’s Back to the Mac event, assuming it would be irrelevant to iOS devices… we were wrong! Like never before, Apple are converging their two platforms to bring the user experiences and capabilities closer together. FaceTime for Mac launches today in beta form (yay!), iLife ’11 goes on sale today with a new version of iPhoto that very closely resembles the Photos app on iPad, and an App Store for Mac with the same one-click-install and home screen icons as iOS is coming within the next 90 days. Keep reading for the details.…

Read MoreHappy birthday to us: We’re one today!
It’s hard to believe that the site has been going for a whole year, but it’s true! This time last year, the iPhone 3GS had just been launched, the XT Network was all shiny and new, 2degrees were putting the final touches to their giant loggo, and we were explaining how to install our carrier bundles to a brand new audience. Indulge us, won’t you, as we take a trip down memory lane and pick out our highlights from the past year. If you’re feeling generous, you might even stop by in the comments! Read on!…

Announcement: iOS 4 and our Carrier Bundles
Well everyone, the time is nearly upon us for iOS 4 and it is with great sadness that we have to announce that our carrier bundles no longer work with the new iOS 4. We have a copy of the stock bundles from the first beta of iOS4 and upon opening them up we have found that Apple are signing them again. Unfortunately the stock bundles haven’t changed in the public release [of iOS 4].…

iOS 4 Wallpapers
After installing OS 4 beta 4 and having a look around I noticed Apple has added a number of new wallpapers for users to choose from, all of which are relatively clean so as not to distract from your app icons. I thought I would grab the new wallpapers and post them up in case anyone wants to install them on their pre-OS4 device.
To install them select your favourite and tap and hold to save it to your device. From there you can set it as your wallpaper.
Enjoy.…

Read MoreMerry Christmas to all our readers
To all our readers, we at iPhonewzealand would just like to extend our heart-felt wishes for a very Merry Christmas for you and all your families. 2009 has been a great first year for us and we really appreciate all the support you’ve given us. The positive feedback we’ve had throughout the year and the blinding work coming out of New Zealand’s development community is what keeps us going, and we’ve really enjoyed giving something back to the kiwi iPhone community with our Big Christmas Giveaway competition. We’ll be raising our glasses in your honour and are really looking forward to 2010! Posts to the site are likely to be a thin on the ground between now and the new year, but we hope you’ll be with us when we’re back in full swing in the new year.…
