With newer, more powerful dual and quad-core processors being introduced, these processors require more and more energy to operate. Apple realizes this and is looking into possible resolutions for better battery life while maintaining the same slim and sleek profile the iPhone 4 currently has.
Cupertino has filed a new patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office titled “Increasing Energy Density in Rechargeable Lithium Battery Cells,” which does just that...
Even though I love my Apple TV, I sometimes wonder what an actual Apple Television would be. Am I going to find out sooner than later? It appears so with this job position posted on Apple's website.

I'm sure we're still a few years away from seeing an Apple Television but this is still very good news.
As many of you know, with the release of iOS 4.0 Apple discontinued support for the iPhone 2G as well as the iPod Touch 1G. This left iPhone 2G and iPod Touch 1G stuck on iOS 3.1.3 for life. Furthermore, while Apple did end up upgrading the iPhone 3G (which has the same amount of RAM/processor as the iPhone 2G), 3G owners experienced a great deal of problems after updating to 4.0. The OS was incredibly slow and was barely usable.
After various reports and angry iPhone 3G users, Apple began to look into the issue and stated the issues would be resolved in iOS 4.2.1. When iOS 4.2.1 came around, performance had been improved on the iPhone 3G, but it was still quite slow. Most users decided to downgrade/remain on iOS 3.1.3.
There are all sorts of rumors that Apple is working on an iPhone nano. Ellen found out it's true, and got her hands on the new device, which has some surprising features.
Ok guys, I'm not fan of Ellen at all but I wanted to give her props for coming up with this short, yet funny segment on her show about the rumored iPhone Nano...
The cover of the March 2011 edition of the popular WIRED magazine addresses the looming problem with Foxconn's employee treatment. If you didn't know, Foxconn is the manufacturer that makes the iPhones we buy.
Although the headline may appear a little melodramatic, the numbers are true and the issue is very real. We have gotten glimpses into the life of the Foxconn employees, and their working conditions are less than ideal...
As you may have heard, Apple is beginning to get petty with their fight against the jailbreak community.
The latest strategy taken on by Apple is to prevent you from reading the books you purchased on iBooks if it detects a jailbroken iPhone.
@Comex responded first with his hilariously named "Hunnypot" solution, and now the Chronic Dev team has followed suit with the release of GreenPois0n RC 6.1...
The fine folks at AppsFire have launched a new service called "AppDeals." AppsFire is a popular app recommendation service that already has a successful app in the App Store.

Here comes another tweak! Although this tweak has been available for jailbroken iPhones for quite some time now, I seemed to stumble upon it earlier this week and found it pretty cool!
With this tweak you'll be able to use unicode symbols to spice up your social life. How does it work? Simply hold down the 1-5 number keys and you will have access to universally viewable symbols that can be added to your text messages, tweets, and more.
The best part is, unlike emoji which are only viewable on some devices, the unicode symbols in Vmoji will display correctly on any mobile device or computer. The tweak is also free of charge, so that's another thumbs up...
When will the white iPhone 4 be available? That's the eternal question that hopefully will get an answer sooner rather than later. Maybe even sooner than we thought. If you go to Vodafone UK's website right now, you can see an iPhone 4 in white color labeled as "coming soon".
So what is this? A marketing stunt from Vodafone to get a little attention, or a clear sign that the unicorn white iPhone 4 is right around the corner? Your guess is as good as mine...
In itself, the iPhone's email works fairly well. It's simple, and reliable. In fact it's almost too simple, being devoid of many customization options that you think would be a no-brainer.
Mail Enhancer is a jailbreak tweak that aims to provide your iPhone's email with some much needed depth in the way of customization.
As you'll see inside, it more than lives up to its name...
What an extraordinary flip-flop. Now AT&T has bad things to say about Apple's App Store? Where was this public bemoaning over the past few years? Where was the outcry while AT&T was reaping the financial benefits of an exclusive relationship with Apple in the US?
Now that Apple has diversified its portfolio with the advent of the Verizon iPhone 4, AT&T's CEO is caught waffling on his love...
Twitter has integrated App Store previews into its website for tweets containing links to iOS apps. If you tweet a link to the App Store, Twitter.com will automatically show a preview of the app with a description and screenshots.
This new feature allows for easy viewing of apps in tweets before being redirected to iTunes. The previews are only available on Twitter's website...
