Happy iPhone 5 and iOS 6, everyone! When I haven’t been drooling over my new screen or LTE I’ve been hard at work rolling out a bunch of new, cool features on the site, like the new iPhone and iPad-compatible UI. Check it out and let us know if you have any feedback!

Cheers,

Hello, and welcome to our slightly (diagonally) longer, faster, shinier new reality! Have you ordered an iPhone 5? Are you holding out until the reviews come in? Are you going to skip it altogether and hold out until next year when Apple introduces NFC/more RAM/a free pony with every order? ;-) Sound off with us, we’d love to know! I had been intending to switch from AT&T to Verizon, but that didn’t quite work out. Still, I...

Happy iPhone Week, everyone! On Wednesday, we’ll undoubtedly get our first look at the upcoming iPhone/The New iPhone/iPhone 5, and learn exactly when iOS 6 will be shipping.

Are you ready? Do you have a cool new app, or update to an existing one coming out that takes advantage of new iOS 6 features? Are you using any components from Cocoa Controls? We’d love to hear from you, either in the comments or directly to us at [email protected].

We’d especially li...

We’ve been periodically highlighting multiple controls of the week over the past few weeks. This week is no different, except for a small twist. This week we’re highlighting the three components from the absolutely incredible-looking app, Kodiak PHP, that the team graciously open-sourced.

I’m not a PHP developer (I’m more of a Rubyist, and Cocoa Controls is built on Rail...

Hello, welcome to another Cocoa Controls roundup, and—for all of you here in the United States—happy Labor Day! I hope you get to take the day off, do some barbecuing, and relax. Or at least hack on fun projects. I’ll probably be doing more of the latter :)

I posted a question on Twitter the other day that I wanted to ask here, too. We’re looking at doing some pretty nifty CocoaPods integration into Co...
