About an hour ago, Apple announced its biggest quarter in company history. Tim Cook's team sold more iPhones and made more money than Apple ever has in a three month period.
Also on today's list of Apple's broken records is the amount of Apple TVs it sold during the holiday quarter. Apparently, the little $99 media box is a $100 million dollar product for the company...
Earlier today we told you that iPhones made up over half of Verizon's smartphone sales last quarter, making Apple the top smartphone manufacturer on one of the world's largest wireless carriers.
But given Apple's record-breaking financial report today, it's achievements go far beyond that. With nearly 40 million iPhone's sold last quarter, Apple just became the top smartphone-maker in the world...
Even though the stock was slightly down at the end of today trading session, it has now reached incredible new heights in after-hours trading.
AAPL is currently trading at about $450. That's a $30 jump from the previous trading record. Of course, this is all fueled by Apple's amazing financial results for last quarter. It's good to be an Apple shareholder right now...
After missing expectations during the third quarter last year, all eyes were on Apple in 2011's Q4. Tim Cook and company made seemingly impossible projections for the three month period, and everyone has been watching to see if Apple could deliver.
Well the results are in today, and not only did Apple meet its own lofty expectations, but it blew every metric out of the water. For example, it predicted it would sell 30 million iPhones. And it actually sold 37 million. Keep reading for the full report...
One of the biggest benefits of using Apple's Safari web browser on your computer to compliment Mobile Safari on your iOS device is sync-ability. Safari will sync your bookmarks and history, and even has that cool new Reading List feature.
So what about the folks that use Google Chrome? We get the benefit of a much better browser, but get gypped on device-syncing. Well now we can have our cake, and eat it too, with VoyagerApps.com's Chrome Sync Pro...
It finally feels like we're beginning to get into the swing of things as far as jailbreak content goes. We're starting to see a flood of content dedicated to iOS 5, the iPhone 4S, and to a lesser extent, the iPad.
One of the latest iOS 5 tweaks to hit the scene is ColorBanner, a tweak that allows you to customize the background color and font color of your Notification Center Banners...
Those of you who have been jailbreaking for a while will undoubtedly know George "GeoHot" Hotz, the guy who brought to us the very first iPhone unlock, back in 2008. Since then, GeoHot developed several jailbreaks, including purplera1n, blackra1n, and limera1n.
Then in 2011, GeoHot was sued by Sony for jailbreaking the PlayStation 3. The matter was quickly settled out of court, and GeoHot started working for Facebook shortly after.
Things are moving along for GeoHot though. According to Business Insider, he recently quit his position at Facebook. So what is he doing now?
Apple today lost the latest round of its legal battle with Samsung, with a Dutch appeal court siding with the Korean tablet and smartphone maker.
Apple had claimed that Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet had infringed upon some of company's iPad patents, and sought a ban of the infringing hardware. At an appeal hearing today however, a Dutch judge at The Hague deemed the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to be a legal device, saying that it does not infringe on Apple's patents...
Verizon announced its quarterly figures for the end of 2011, with the iPhone effect in full swing for the America's largest mobile phone carrier.
Despite tough competition from both AT&T and Sprint, Verizon saw its best figures for subscriber additions for three years, with an extra 1.5 million customers now on board.
With 4.2 million iPhones reportedly shipped during the same period it isn't too far a stretch to suggest that Apple's smartphone may well have helped Verizon along in that achievement...
Apple's co-founder and former CEO, the late Steve Jobs, was an inspirational figure for many people, with tributes flooding in after his death in October of 2011. People from across the globe, both inside the technology industry and out, all paid their respects in their own ways.
Now Virgin America has also paid tribute to the man that almost single handedly rescued Apple from an uncertain future when he returned to the company in 1997, with the airline having one of Jobs' most memorable quotes emblazoned on one of its new airplanes.
"Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" was a quote that Jobs gave during his famous Standford address in 2005, and has since gone on to become synonymous with Jobs himself. Now one of Virgin America's new A320 airplanes has the same quote written in its side, too...

Microsoft's latest iPad app comes in the form of the new MSN UK app, which was made available today.
The app allows UK users to keep up to date on MSN UK news articles, as well as watch video and even stream them to an AirPlay-enabled device such as an Apple TV.
If the whole thing looks eerily familiar then there's a very good reason – the MSN UK iPad app bears a striking resemblance to the Pulse news reader app which has been around for some time now...
