Sebastien grilled Mr. Ulanoff over his last article on the proposition of Apple selling unlocked iPhones in the United States. This time, we’re going to take a look at Mr. PCMag’s idea that Apple needs to make “drastic improvements” to the iPhone to “maintain market share and mindshare.” Read More

by Alex Heath on Jun 24, 2011

Evidence Surfaces in iOS 5 that Apple is Still Working on Maps App

by Cody on Jun 23, 2011

I have to admit, after all the evidence we’ve seen over the last several months, I was a little surprised that we didn’t see any kind of major improvements to the Map app in iOS 5. Apple has purchased multiple GPS software companies in the last few years, including PlaceBase and Poly9.
