MacRumors points to a report from Reuters citing that AT&T is seeing extraordinary demand for Apple's new smartphone. As most of you know, Apple opened up iPhone 4S preorders just after midnight (PST) last night.
The company has been met with a lot of criticism over its latest handset, which it unveiled last Tuesday. But that doesn't seem to have affected consumer demand for the device. AT&T believes that they've already sold 200,000 of them...
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Steve Jobs' funeral is taking place today. The news puts a devastating period at the end of one of the saddest sentences in tech history. Steve Jobs has passed away.
The service will consist of a small "private gathering," and it doesn't appear that there will be any kind of public memorial held. But, as a quick look around the world will tell you, the public has already come up with its own way of honoring Steve...
While iPhone 4S pre-orders in the US seem to be working just fine, international demand for the 4S has caused Apple to push back the shipping estimate for the 4S to 1-2 weeks. Instead of the assured delivery date on October 14th that Apple originally promised, shipping estimates for the 4S have slipped to a more uncertain delivery date for international customers.
Apple stores in countries like Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Australia have all had shipping dates pushed back already. The iPhone 4S became available for pre-order after 12AM this morning...
What is 4G? Other than the fact that it's the wireless standard that comes after 3G, I'm not sure that a lot of people outside of the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) know the answer. It's supposed to be a lot faster, right?
For months, both AT&T and T-Mobile have been taking advantage of this grey area surrounding the marketing buzz term, touting their HSPA+ networks as "4G." Now it appears that Apple is going to be hopping on the bandwagon...
We've seen our fair share of reactions to Steve Jobs' death since the news broke on Wednesday. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak's video interview was probably the most moving of them all.
Yesterday, it was Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart's turn to pay respect to Jobs in their own way. Funny and touching at the same time...
The guys that brought us the banned iPhone 4 promo videos are back at it! They're even funnier than last year. I can't get enough of these videos.
My favorite part starts at about 35 seconds in, when the drunk VP of Siri talks about the assistant who "listens to you, and understands you, and doesn't judge you, it doesn't f***ng nag you about why you're so late coming home from work"...
Following the news earlier that the iPhone 4S won't be available as an unlocked device until November, it's also worth noting that only customers on GSM carriers will be able to unlock the 4S.
Apple touted the iPhone 4S as a "world phone" capable of running on both GSM and CDMA networks, but as usual there seems to be more involved when it comes to the fine print. Unfortunately, an unlocked iPhone 4S will only work on GSM networks...
You almost have to feel sorry for the little guy, don't you?
Apple's newest iPod nano, now into its seventh iteration (if you count Tuesday's software refresh as a "new model"), has been given the infamous iFixit treatment, and had its innards laid out for all to gawk at...
Great news for the two of you that want to run Android apps on your iPad!
Alien Dalvik, the software layer that allows all Android apps to run on the Android platform, is being ported to various different platforms, including BlackBerry's PlayBook. More importantly, and certainly more interestingly, Apple's iPad is also on the list of devices that will soon support Android apps...
Few careers from history can match the achievements that Steve Jobs amassed throughout his years at Apple.
The folks at iSmashPhone have put together an infographic called "Steve Jobs By the Numbers." Let's take a look at the incredible highlights from Steve Jobs' career...
Samsung and Google were supposed to take the stage next week at the CTIA convention in San Diego to announce the first phone based on Android's Ice Cream Sandwich OS, but the two companies canceled at the last minute.
It was originally unclear as to why the companies canceled, but it turns out that they did so out of respect for Steve Jobs...
Before Apple's iPhone 4S announcement this week, there were more than a few rumors going around that the next iPhone would be a radical redesign of the device. A new, tapered body was to be the main, eye-catching alteration to the form factor that has served Apple so well over the last year or so.
As we all know, that didn't happen. Instead, Apple launched the iPhone 4S, a slight speed-bump to the existing iPhone 4, with a new camera thrown in for good measure. Yes, Siri adds that little bit of sparkle to an otherwise dull release, but let's be frank, this is no iPhone 5.
So what about that tapered design we heard so much about? Well, we may still see it, even if that won't be until this time next year...
