Sprint's iPhone 4S launch turned out record-breaking handset sales for the carrier. After four years of waiting, the operator is finally able to offer its customers Apple's coveted smartphone. But the rollout hasn't been all sunshine and roses.
Several Sprint customers have been reporting 3G speed issues with their new Apple handsets. And although we've seen it with our own eyes, Sprint has stated that there isn't a problem. But The Next Web has evidence that proves otherwise...
Rumors have been bouncing around for years regarding Apple and its secret TV project. No, I'm not talking about the $99 media box. I'm talking about a full-blown television set with the words "Made in Cupertino" printed on the back.
Thanks to a quote from Steve Jobs in his recently-released biography, the speculation has regained some traction over the last couple of weeks. Pundits are now reporting that we could see an Apple-branded TV set as early as next year...
The Cupertino company has had a rough time sorting out its Apple TV updates over the past few weeks. It seems that all the trouble started when Scott Forstall's team released iOS 5 to the public earlier this month.
Last week Apple released a software update for its media hub (4.4.1), but it was immediately pulled due to customer complaints. Apparently re-releasing it still didn't do the trick, because tonight Apple seeded 4.4.2 to Apple TV owners...
The new 8MP camera in the iPhone 4S is one of the handset's standout features. Other than Siri, the improved camera is likely the biggest motivator for folks to upgrade to Apple's latest smartphone.
But iPhones haven't always sported class-leading camera hardware — it's come a long way in 4 years. Gizmodo demonstrates this with a side-by-side comparison of photos taken with each of the 5 iPhone models...
After nearly two weeks on the market, people are still finding new stuff in iOS 5. Apple's latest software update to its mobile operating system is loaded with new features — over 200 according to Scott Forstall and company.
The update also includes new capibilities for iOS users. You can activate your device's camera from your lock screen and you can view notifications by swiping down on your status bar. You can also save videos to your camera roll...
The infamous Android versus iOS debate can get pretty intense. Both sides have avid fans that will seemingly defend their favorite mobile OS to the death. And one of the most popular subjects for the two sides to argue about are the numbers.
Numbers directly reflect the success of a product. That's why companies share sales data and other things like revenue on quarterly earnings calls — to show their progress. So the big question is, what do the numbers say about Android and iOS?
Apple has been openly fighting against Android manufacturers for the past several months. The Cupertino company has accused handset makers like Samsung, HTC, and Motorola Mobility of infringing on its intellectual property.
A lot of people believe that Apple's hoard of patent lawsuits are going to end up stifling innovation, but they're not the only ones doing it. In fact, at this point, Android partners should probably be more afraid of Microsoft and its IP...
Everyone loves a good app sale, and we've seen quite a few of those over the past couple of weeks. But what about an app, music, iBook, and video sale? That's what's going on at Best Buy right now.
9to5Toys, a site dedicated to finding the best deals in electronics, points to a Best Buy sale that ends this weekend. Apparently, the nation-wide retail chain is selling iTunes gift cards at a nice discount...
Earlier in the month we warned you that updating to iOS 5 on your original iPad would remove the device's multi-touch gestures. These gestures were never an official iOS feature, but they were baked into previous versions of the mobile software.
The feature allows users to swipe between apps, reveal the multitask bar, and access the home screen — all with on-screen gestures. Needless to say, some folks were upset when this option disappeared. But don't worry, we know how to get it back...
Tired of flying animated helicopters and shooting digital missiles? Why not try the real thing? The folks behind the popular iHelicopter line just released a new iOS-controlled helicopter that is sure to cure your boredom.
The new Cobra from iHelicopter comes complete with all of the typical RC helicopter features. It has a durable frame to prevent crash-damage, a self-stabilizer to help with flying, and oh yeah, two on-board launchable missiles...
After 4 months of seeding developer betas, Apple finally released iOS 5 to the masses last week. The update introduced over 200 new features, including several that closely mirrored jailbreak utilities.
But instead of being discouraged by Apple's efforts, the jailbreak community has stepped up its game. Not only are there several iOS 5-compatible packages available, but a jailbreak for the software has been around since day one...
The Associated Press seems to have gotten its hands on the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. The highly anticipated book is due out later this month, but excerpts have been surfacing on the web over the last 48 hours.
One of the more interesting tidbits that has come to light is a passage regarding Jobs' thoughts and comments on third-party applications. Apparently at one point, Jobs thought that web apps were the wave of the future...
