How often do you find yourself watching TV with your iPhone either in your hand or within reach? If you're like me, the answer is most of (if not all of) the time. And that's exactly what the folks over at Viggle are counting on.
Introducing the new Viggle iPhone app. It allows you to earn points, which can be used to redeem prizes, by doing the same things that you're probably already doing daily, like playing on your iPhone and watching television...
Last year, Apple broke its three-year tradition of announcing a new iPhone during its WWDC event. The World Wide Developers Conference, which takes place in mid-June, is a major event for the Cupertino company.
For reasons unknown, Apple didn't unveil any new hardware at last year's conference. Instead, consumers had to wait until October to purchase the company's new handset. But according to a new report, that won't be the case this year...
It's been more than a week since Apple published the results of its record-breaking quarter, and the news is still paying off in dividends for the company.
Last week we told you that the 37 million iPhones Apple sold during the last three months made it the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world. But what we didn't know was that it also made Apple one of the top three mobile phone makers...
It seems like it's raining spy shots today. Hot on the heels of the purported iPad 3 photo BGR leaked this morning comes an image of, what several folks are calling, the next iPod nano.
Leading up to Apple's Fall iPhone/iPod event last year, we heard a number of rumors that the next iPod nano would feature a camera. And although the refreshed device never surfaced, it appears that the product still very much exists...
Even with an iPad 3 launch almost certainly on the horizon, much of the tech world's interest still seems to be in Apple's mysterious TV set. According to the rumor mill, the iPhone-makers are expected to enter the television space at some point in the next two years.
And there's nobody pulling for that to happen more than Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. Munster has been the source of several "iTV" rumors over the past couple of months, and now he's back with more gossip...
Last week, The New York Times ran a controversial piece on the poor working conditions inside the factories of Apple's supply chain. The report detailed awful labor practices including mandatory 60+ work weeks and hazardous working environments.
One of the many questions that arose in the wake of the article is, "why doesn't Apple just make its products here in the USA?" That would mean more jobs for Americans, and labor laws to protect the workers. But what many folks don't realize is that a lot of Apple's handset is already made in the US...
In the months leading up to Apple's Fall iPhone announcement last year, we heard dozens of rumors that never materialized. Obviously the big one was that the handset was going to feature a major hardware redesign, but there were others.
NFC (Near Field Communications) compatibility is another rumor that never panned out. The iPhone 4S launched without any sign of NFC chipsets. But that doesn't mean that the next iPhone won't feature the technology...
Apple's handset business is doing pretty well these days. It recently gave birth to a new model, which seems to be doing rather well, and it's making inroads into a major new market — mainland China.
Of course, when you start selling more phones, you have to hire more people to make them. M.I.C gadget is reporting that thousands of Chinese workers have lined up to apply for new iPhone production positions at Foxconn...
A week ago Apple announced record-breaking results for its latest quarter, selling more iPhones and iPads in the three month period than ever before. In fact, its iPhone sales made Apple the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world (by volume).
And apparently, the company's tablet sales had a similar effect on its position in the computer industry. According to a report by The New York Times, the company that proclaimed the "post-PC" era — Apple — is now the biggest maker of PCs in the world...
iPhone accessories aren't just limited to cases and screen protectors — they go way beyond that. The multi-billion dollar industry consists of products ranging from speaker docks to styli, and everything in between.
Even these new conductive mittens from Mujjo fall into the category. The gloves are knitted with a fabric filled with silver-coated nylon fibers, making them compatible with most common touchscreen-enabled devices...
Apple sold 37 million iPhones last quarter, making it the top smartphone manufacturer in the world by volume. But interestingly enough, the record-breaking number didn't include any sales from mainland China.
With nearly a billion wireless subscribers, China is a major opportunity for Apple to increase its handset sales. And it's already starting to make its move. Earlier this month Apple launched its iPhone 4S on China Unicom, and now reports are coming in that it's reached an agreement with China Telecom to do the same...
Earlier this month, Apple released its popular iPhone 4S handset to long lines in mainland China. But launch day didn't last very long, as riots broke out in front of multiple Apple Stores around Beijing, forcing them to close.
Scalpers were believed to be a major factor in the riots — they buy iPhones and other gadgets and sell them for a profit on the grey market. But it looks like Apple has found a way to keep them from causing any more problems...
