iPhone 4S Only Has 512MB of RAM, Just Like iPhone 4 and iPad 2

When Apple announced the iPhone 4S on Tuesday, there was no mention of just how much RAM the new handset was packing. This didn't seem too odd at the time, after all, Apple doesn't usually for the Android approach of listing specifications in a hope to garner sales.

What is interesting is the revelation from Chair Entertainment’s creative director Donald Mustard, who claims that the iPhone 4S only sports 512MB of RAM, not the presumed 1GB...

JailbreakMe.com is Dead

JailbreakMe, the wildly popular web-based jailbreak tool created by comex, is no more. Comex recently announced that he had been hired by Apple, and the JailbreakMe.com domain has been owned by a third party for quite some time.

MuscleNerd, frontman for the Dev Team, has warned jailbreakers to stay clear of JailbreakMe.com from now on...

Apple Now Taking Pre-Orders for iPhone 4S

Originally scheduled for 12:01am, the iPhone 4S pre-ordering process seems to have encountered a few problems, but it is now working.

After repeatedly hitting the CMD+R keys on my MacBook Air keyboard for 44 minutes, I was finally able to get in. In just a few minutes, I was able to place my order for an AT&T 64GB black iPhone 4S...

How Angry Birds Can Undermine the US Economy

AT&T Extends Return Policy Due to 4S Announcement

Good news for folks who pulled the trigger a little too early on buying an iPhone with AT&T in the last 60 days. ModMyi announced this morning that the carrier will be extending its 30-day return policy for recent iPhone purchasers.

While the initial report was based on a purported internal carrier document, iDB was able to confirm the news with AT&T via a customer service representative. Hit the jump for a full rundown of the limited-time return program...

10 Reasons to Buy the iPhone 4S

After introducing the iPhone 4S on Tuesday, Apple was met with an onslaught of harsh criticism for essentially "not living up to the hype." Several rumors regarding a completely redesigned handset seemed to set the wrong expectations.

But level-headed folks saw this coming a mile away. The Cupertino company pulled the same thing with the 3GS. Why recreate something brand new every year, when the cell phone business generally revolves around two-year contracts?

To The Crazy One

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

About this Whole iPhone “4S” Thing

My neighbor Scott told me yesterday he was disappointed because Apple was releasing an iPhone 4S and not an iPhone 5. I asked him if he would have been happier if Apple's new device was called iPhone 5. He said yes, then he thought about it, and realized how stupid his original comment had been.

My friend Felipe told yesterday that he was disappointed because Apple had not updated the design of the iPhone 4S. I asked him if he would have been happier if Apple had unveiled a brand new design. He said yes. I asked him if he thought that the current iPhone 4 was a beautiful device. He agreed. So I asked him what the problem was...

The details of the pre-ordering process aren't known yet, but we can fairly assume the process will be the same as the last couple of years...
