The New York Times points to some interesting comments, regarding Apple, made by AT&T's chief executive Randall Stephenson at the Milken Institute's Global Conference earlier this week.
During an on-stage interview, the CEO discussed a wide range of topics including his regret for initially allowing iPhone users to have unlimited data, and how it affected AT&T's bottom line...
Among the third-party retailers that sell Apple's handset, Walmart typically has some of the lowest prices. In fact, it's been selling 16GB versions of the iPhone 4S for just $188 since last November. And it looks like it's about to get a lot cheaper.
Cult of Mac has learned that Walmart is dropping the price of Apple's latest smartphone (AT&T model) down to $114 with a 2-year agreement. It also appears that the retail chain is lowering the price of its 8GB iPhone 4 as well, down to $34.
Unfortunately, discounts were a glitch in the system, Walmart confirmed in an official statement...
Although Apple has created one of the strongest (likely the strongest) digital content stores in the world, it's far from perfect. The iTunes Store has a number of fundamental problems, including the lack of a proper refund system.
Perhaps no one is more aware of this than Robert Herskowitz. The iTunes user was recently billed twice for the same song — Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want from Me" — and was denied a refund by Apple. So he's suing them...
When Apple announced that it was going to continue selling the iPad 2 for $399 alongside its new tablet, the company never mentioned any changes. After all, it's the same iPad 2 that it's been selling for more than a year. Right?
Not exactly. The folks over at AnandTech uncovered a minor, but perhaps significant, change in the discounted tablet's A5 processor that gives the slate nearly two hours of added battery life. Keep reading to find out how...
Things are starting to pick up regarding the iOS 5.1 jailbreak, as we've just received word that pod2g has hit another major milestone in his efforts to hack the latest version of Apple's software.
The security expert just tweeted "Heya! My iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 is now untethered :-)" This is good news, considering the only jailbreak currently available for iOS 5.1 is tethered...
Even though iDB is primarily an iPhone-focused blog, we like to keep tabs on what the competition is up to. Earlier this week we told you about RIM's all-new BlackBerry 10 platform, and today we've got some news regarding Samsung's latest handset.
The Korean manufacturer unveiled the Galaxy S III earlier today at a media event in London. Packed with a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display and a host of other high-end components, the device certainly looks impressive on paper. But is it?
Carrier options for US iPhone customers have dramatically multiplied over the past two years. The handset, which was once only available from AT&T, is now offered on nine wireless providers across the country.
Actually, 10 carriers if you count Straight Talk. You may or may not know this, but the nationwide prepaid provider is compatible with the GSM iPhone. You don't even need to unlock your handset to switch to it...
Remember the last-minute rumor that Apple was going to integrate Senseg's haptic feedback into its third-generation iPad? The theory, which surfaced just hours before Apple's iPad event, never materialized. But that doesn't mean it won't happen.
9to5Mac points to a new patent application from the Cupertino company, discovered by PatentlyApple, regarding haptic feedback. The filing covers a technology that is described as a "wildly intelligent multi-tiered haptics system..."
If you've ever spent any kind of time editing text on the iPad, you know that there has to be a better solution. Placing your cursor in a certain spot in a sentence or paragraph can be difficult. And between letters? Forget about it.
Luckily, YouTube user danielchasehooper has come up with the perfect way to fix this. In his new video entitled "iPad Keyboard Prototype," he demonstrates how Apple could make cursor placement much more precise...
Despite the fact that Apple hasn't given any indication that it's working on a TV set, and a glaring lack of any concrete evidence, the Apple-branded television is one of the most highly anticipated products of 2012. It seems like everyone thinks it's coming.
Everyone except JP Morgan's Mark Moskowitz, that is. In a note to investors this morning, the analyst said that he doesn't believe that economic conditions are right for Apple to release a TV set this year. And he doesn't think we'll see one until at least 2014...
Define narcissism: excessive or erotic interest in oneself and one's physical appearance. If this sounds like you, or someone you know, you might be interested in this new iPhone app from Dapper Gentlemen.
Ugly Meter uses your handset's front-facing camera to scan (in other words, take a picture of) your face, and then rates your attractiveness on a scale of 1-10 based on a few different data points...
We've talked about PhotoAlbums+ a couple of times here on iDB over the past two years. The tweak adds a host of features to the stock Photos app like the ability to create password-protected albums on the fly.
Well the developers just released a major update to PhotoAlbums+, adding new PhotoStream controls to the package. And even better, they've given us 10 free copies to giveaway to our awesome readers! Read on...
