Along with its products, Apple is well known for its trendy accessories. With the original iPad, there were the foldable iPad cases. And with the iPhone 4, there were bumpers. Now, with the iPad 2, we have Smart Covers.
The Cupertino company seemingly hit a home run with its magnetic snap-on covers for its latest tablet. But 9to5Mac is reporting that the accessory that was designed to protect the iPad 2 might also be harming it as well...
The first commercial starring Apple's latest handset has just hit the airwaves. And as you might have guessed, the focus of the ad is the company's new Siri feature. For some folks, this may have been the first time they have seen it in action.

Comedian and talk show host Stephen Colbert is known for being an Apple fan. He regularly makes Apple-related jokes on his show, and a recent episode shows him having quite the conversation with Siri, the personal assistant in the iPhone 4S.
If you're the kind of iPhone user that reads blogs about, well, iPhones, then the chances are you also fall into the category some like to call "geek." It's no longer a derogatory term; being a geek means you tend to like things like smartphones, computers, and comics.
If all that sounds like you, then chances are you'll like this latest tidbit to come out of Hollywood. It turns out that the upcoming Avengers movie was partly filmed on one of Apple's little iPhones, instead of the rather expensive cameras movie studios usually use.
How cool is that? Very, very cool indeed...

First, let's take a quick look at the good parts of iCloud before moving onto the bad and the crazy...

The iPhone 4S has been a tremendous success for all three of the US carriers that currently sell the handset. But it seems that AT&T is getting a little more success compared to Apple's other two iPhone 4S partners.
AT&T today announced that it has activated more than one million iPhone 4S devices as of Tuesday, making the iPhone 4S launch the most successful launch in the carrier's history...
A couple of days ago, we highlighted FavoriteContacts — a new jailbreak widget that allows you to dial, text, and email your favorite contacts, right from Notification Center.
Today, we bring you a similar tweak, with a few noticeable differences. Like FavoriteContacts, WeeSpeeddial allows you to dial contacts from Notification Center, but it relies on a custom set of contacts configured in a dedicated settings panel.

When you ride in a luxury car, one of the first things you'll notice is an analog clock. It's a sign of grace, style, and precision.
Since the iPhone is arguably the "luxury car" of smart phones, it's only right that an analog clock graces iOS 5's new Notification Center.
