In the months and years leading up to Steve Jobs' resignation, most of Wall Street seemed pretty nervous about Apple's fate, post-Jobs. His ongoing health issues garnered constant speculation on whether the company could keep pace without him.
Last month, everyone was forced to confront their fears. Jobs sent out a somber resignation letter, admitting he could no longer carry out his CEO duties. But as the last few weeks have shown, Apple seemingly hasn't skipped a beat...
What ever happened to those rumors that claimed Apple would be releasing an iPad 3 (or iPad HD/Pro) this year? For a while there, pundits were claiming that the company was going to unveil a new tablet this Fall, alongside the iPhone 5.
But as with most tech gossip, the new iPad theory eventually lost traction. And then out of no where, TiPb kickstarted the debate again this morning by reporting that Target has been marking the iPad 2 as end of life...
Men lie, women lie, numbers don't. Research in Motion once again reported dismal quarterly earnings yesterday that failed to meet Wall Street's, and even the company's own expectations.
Among the disappointing statistics RIM offered up were the number of BlackBerry PlayBooks it shipped (not sold) last quarter. Missing projections by 500,000 units, the company unloaded a mere 200,000 tablets...
If you ask me, the iPhone 4's design is the epitome of phone designs. It's why we're going on a year and a half since it was released, and there still isn't a device that truly rivals its beauty or function.
I wasn't really worried about Apple straying too far from this design, because in general, they tend to stick with what works for a decent length of time, e.g. the iMac, Mac Pro, etc. All of those products have basically remained the same over the past few years, sans a few minor tweaks here and there.
But then, Case-MateGate happened; purported iPhone 5 mockups along with them, and stuff just got real...
It's that time of year again. Although it's a few months later than previous years, all of the pre-iPhone launch festivities have begun. We've seen blurry spy shots, several glimpses of leaked parts and cases, and heard countless rumors.
Now, all that is left is for Apple to announce the media event. But as we get closer to the iPhone 5 unveiling, folks are pondering what do with their soon-to-be-old iPhones. Well, if you plan on selling your iPhone 4 online, you may want to do that in the near future...
We originally told you about MyGreatFest, the world's first jailbreak convention, earlier this year. We watched the convention progress from a dream to reality, with speakers like Saurik, P0sixninja, and other great minds from the jailbreak community slated to give presentations.
MyGreatFest starts tomorrow in London, UK at The Old Truman Brewery. Some of you have already told us that you will be attending, but if you're not going to be able to make it across the pond to attend in person, we've got good news: the convention will be streamed online for free!
Looking for a way to enhance your SMS experience, but apps and tweaks like biteSMS or SMSPlus fail to meet your needs? If so, perhaps it's time to go beyond SMS.
Indeed, BeyondSMS is a jailbreak tweak for the iPhone that integrates tightly with the stock SMS app, providing things like hidden message capability and live camera wallpaper. Take a look inside for a full video synopsis...
Apple wants to let you merge multiple Apple IDs, according to an Apple executive relations employee. Users have voiced complaints about Apple's confusing policy relating to logins and accessing purchased content through multiple Apple IDs. A remedy for the situation is in the works.
Customers have emailed Apple CEO Tim Cook about the issue, and Apple has confirmed that customers will soon be able to consolidate multiple logins into one unified account.
After several months of talking about it, AT&T finally seems ready to put up or shut up. On Sunday, the carrier plans on lighting up its new 4G LTE service in 5 major U.S. cities. The news does come with several asterisks though.
One, it's about a year late to the party. Verizon's had a live LTE network since last December. Two, the launch is tiny compared to Verizon's 39-city rollout. And three, there's not even a compatible smartphone available (yet)...
Last night we told you about a report from The New York Times quoting multiple Apple employees that a "fairly different" iPhone 5 was only "just weeks away." The report didn't specifically mention the rumor of Apple announcing two new iPhone models at once, and now 9to5Mac is claiming that there are some interesting developments in the iPhone 5 department.
According to 9to5Mac, Apple is indeed working on two iPhone models, but the iPhone 5 design has seen production delays. While a re-tooled iPhone 4 will be available this Fall, a completely redesigning iPhone 5 won't be seen until early 2012...
The iPad's attempt to single-handedly revolutionise, well, everything, took another step to completion after Australia's crown jewel airline, Qantas, announced that it will use iPads as in-flight entertainment systems.
Beginning in October, according to The Register, selected Qantas flights will sport the tablets as entertainment for passengers, with movies and television shows and music pre-loaded by the airline...
We know. You've heard this already. In fact, it would be downright crazy for Apple to not hold an iPhone announcement in the next few weeks.
The difference this time around is that two Apple employees in Cupertino have told The New York Times that a "fairly different" iPhone 5 is "just weeks away" from launch. Now we're getting somewhere...
