We're very sorry to say that Steve Jobs is stepping down as CEO of Apple, effective immediately. He is going to be replaced by Apple's COO Tim Cook, who has been filling in for Jobs over the last several months.
In January of this year, Jobs took his second leave of absence from the company in as many years, due to ongoing health problems. He's suffered from off-and-on issues since mid-2004, when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer...
You don't have to spend a lot of time with an iOS device to figure out that Apple pays serious attention to detail. This is true not only for its hardware, but software as well.
It seems like every nook and cranny of the mobile platform has been checked for bugs and inconsistencies, and it seems to be paying off. But even with bright minds like Scott Forstall and Jony Ives, Apple was bound to slip up...
Apple's iDevice-related patents receive more attention online than those of any other product. And if you haven't figured out how important patents are in this industry, just take a look around.
While patents in general can be boring legal documents, the ones coming out of Cupertino can hint at future products and features. Take this next filing for example. It describes a method of solar-powered charging for electronic devices...
The Apple-Samsung lawsuit has been grabbing headlines left and right over the last few months. The action has especially heated up over the past few days, as Samsung tried to prove to a Dutch court that it's not copying Apple's products.
But even with their Kubrick evidence, the judge found the Korean company to be in violation of Apple's patents. The ruling bans Samsung from selling several devices, including the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, in the European Union...
You've more than likely heard of McAfee. The security experts have been blocking viruses on PCs for years, and are now dabbling in mobile research. The firm just announced the results of their recent study on mobile malware.
We saw a similar analysis by Symantec a few months ago. And surprise surprise, the results haven't changed that much. iOS still seems to be the most secure mobile operating system available...
The ongoing court battle between Apple and Samsung has been nothing short of entertaining. From Samsung's request to see the iPhone 5, to Apple's European Union injunction, the case has been full of action. And it's not over by any means.
The latest twist in the copycat lawsuit takes the entertainment to a whole new level. Since Apple claims that Samsung copied its tablet design with the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Samsung is claiming Apple copied science fiction...
According to several news outlets, Apple has finally decided on who will manufacture the display panels for the iPad 3. If you've been following the rumors regarding Apple's upcoming tablet, you'll know why that's such a big deal.
With Apple in an ongoing court battle against Samsung, the company has turned to other manufacturers to fill the void. And after extensively testing displays from Sharp and LG, it sounds like it's finally picked a replacement (or two)...
As of right now, the iPhone is only available on two major wireless carriers here in the United States. AT&T, which was originally the sole carrier of the iPhone, and now Verizon both offer the device.
Rumors have been circulating over the past several months suggesting that Apple will finally extend the iPhone to both T-Mobile and Sprint this Fall, but so far there has been no official announcement.
Now, The Wall Street Journal has decided to chime in on the matter, and is reporting that a Sprint-branded iPhone is a lock for this October...
When Steve Jobs and company first announced the original iPhone, they said that they were going after 1% of the smartphone market. At the time, there were around 100 million smartphone sales globally, so 1% would have been one million units.
As most of you know by now, Apple has far exceded that goal. In the last quarter alone it shipped over 20 million smartphones. Not bad for only 4 years and 4 handsets into the market. But what's next?
A few weeks ago, we told you that the infamous iPhone 4 prototype case was coming to an end. The two guys that took part in snagging the lost device, and eventually sold it to Gizmodo, are getting their comeuppance.
The two men are facing non-felony charges, with an arraignment set for the end of the week. Although Gizmodo, and their parent company Gawker Media, aren't involved in the criminal case, the firm has a lot riding on it...
With all of the statistics flying about regarding Android and Apple handset sales, it's extremely easy to get confused. Sometimes you hear that iPhones are topping the charts, and other times you see that Android is "leading the market."
MacRumors points to a survey done by the NPD research firm that might just help clear the air. Their quarterly Mobile Phone Track report gives some serious insight into who is the top-dog in the mobile industry...
In this day in age it seems like carriers are more focused on "streamlining" their wireless plans rather than introducing new ones. In fact, AT&T followed up its unlimited data plan-ban by getting rid of its $10 SMS package.
Verizon, on the other hand, has just introduced a new wireless plan to serve up data for low-end customers. The $20 per month plan will give users 300MB of data per month, and is available now through September 30. Read on for more details...
