Last weekend, Apple and its carrier partners opened up their iPhone 4S pre-order pages to record-breaking sales numbers. This is by far the most successful iPhone launch in the device's history.
Though the handsets aren't expected to start arriving until this Friday, some parts of the globe are already receiving shipments. We saw some of the first screenshots of the iPhone 4S earlier today, and now we have the first hands-on video...
This is perhaps Apple's biggest week in its history when it comes to software releases. The Cupertino company is expected to rollout iCloud, iOS 5, and several software updates to make sure everything stays compatible.
Today, Apple rolled out the first piece of the puzzle: iTunes 10.5. Although it's been available in beta for developers since June, this is the first time that the public has been given access. What's new in the software? Hit the jump for the full change log...
Wpcentral passes on a report from the Inquisitr regarding Apple's latest move in the world of patents. Apparently the Cupertino company recently made some significant changes to its 2010 patent application on in-app purchasing.
While there could be several reasons behind the update, two of them stick out. First, there's that pesky Lodsys lawsuit Apple keeps trying to intervene in regarding several iOS developers and in-app purchasing. And the second...
When Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S last week, it was pretty clear that they were proud of the handset's new camera. Not only did engineers tack on 3 megapixels, but they also tweaked the optics system and widened the camera's F stop.
While we've seen the amazing sample photos that Apple posted on its website, we've yet to see how the camera will perform out in the real world. Until now. TUAW has come across the first photo taken with an iPhone 4S, outside of Cupertino...
After months of rumors, Apple finally confirmed last week that Sprint was going to be offering its latest handset. This Friday marks the first time that the carrier will have partnered with the Cupertino company on a major product launch.
Working with Apple generally means working for Apple, and it looks like Sprint is going to find that out this week. BGR has revealed some details surrounding Apple's rules for the carrier's first ever iPhone launch, and they're pretty intense...
Apple has another hit on its hands. Earlier today, the Cupertino company announced that it received a staggering 1 million iPhone 4S pre-orders in the first 24 hours.
With shipping dates now 1-2 weeks out, those looking to score an iPhone 4S by Friday are running out of options. But before you set up camp outside of your local Apple store, you may want to give Best Buy a try...
For years, skeptics have viewed Apple enthusiasts in a prejudice light. Dubbed "fan boys," this herd of sheep would throw down money for any product bearing the fruit-shaped logo, and would defend the company to the death if necessary.
And it seems like the more successful Apple has gotten, the more vocal the cynics have become — especially in the mobile phone space. And I don't think that there is any group louder than the Android users...
With iOS 5 scheduled to drop this Wednesday, the question in the back of everyone's mind (at least here at iDB anyways) is when will it be fully jailbroken? A tethered jailbreak is already available for the new software, but it's just not the same.
A tethered jailbreak is inconvenient, it means you have to reconnect your iDevice to your computer after every restart. Luckily it sounds like we won't have to wait long for an untether to hit web, as i0n1c has confirmed it's being handled...
Over the last few years, there's consistently been one feature about the iPhone I'd hoped Apple would change. Its display size. Say what you want about portability, but a 3.5" screen is far from ideal for any kind of extended web browsing.
Needless to say, the Cupertino company hasn't touched the iPhone's screen size, and I've always kind of wondered why. Recently I came across an article by Dustin Curtis, a designer, that offers some interesting thoughts on Apple's reasoning...
The iPhone 4S, which Apple introduced earlier this week, includes several improvements over its predecessor. It sports a faster processor, an all-new operating system, and what is likely to become a class-leading 8MP camera.
One addition that Apple has been fairly quiet about, however, is the handset's support for Bluetooth 4.0. In fact, as several sites have pointed out, the iPhone 4S is the first smartphone to support the new technology...
The iPhone 4S has seen staggering customer demand in its first 24 hours of presale. Online preorder pages are already showing shipping dates 1-3 weeks out for Apple's latest handset, depending on which model you're after.
If you're looking to snag a 16GB iPhone 4S in the near future, carriers are suggesting that you visit your local retail store on October 14. But you might want to get there early, as it looks like people are already starting to line up...
Early yesterday morning, Apple and its carrier partners around the world started taking preorders for the iPhone 4S. The Cupertino company unveiled the smartphone last week to mixed reactions from pundits and fans.
But the fact that Apple didn't change the handset's outward appearance doesn't seem to have derailed customers from snatching up the device. The iPhone 4S appears to be selling as fast, if not faster, than its predecessors...
