Yesterday I saw an AT&T commercial on TV saying that if you're on a family plan and choose to get unlimited text messaging, you would automatically get unlimited calling to any mobile phone in the US.
So this morning, after my delicious grande Caramel Macchiato at Starbucks, I decided to pay a visit to the AT&T store, right next to the coffee shop, and see if they could help me save a few bucks...
Apple Stores are pretty famous for being cool with just about anything. From dancing in the store, to even bringing your own pet, Apple usually allows you to do just about anything you want.
Comedian Mark Malkoff decided to put Apple to the test and see if there was a limit to what the Apple Store will allow you to do. In this short video, Mark gets a pizza delivered, has a romantic dinner, gets his iPhone fixed while dressed as Darth Vader, and finally, brings a goat in the store...
A recent survey carried out by shopping website PriceGrabber revealed that 35% of the people who took part in the survey said they would buy an iPhone 5, even though they haven't seen it or don't even know what features the device will have.
Additionally, 51% of the people who took the survey said they would buy the iPhone 5 within the first year, no matter what...
Apple just inked a deal with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the organization that manages Grand Central Terminal, New York's world renowned train station.
The deal will allow Apple to build it's largest store to date, in the heart of New York where thousands of people commute daily...
Earlier this month, rumors were floating around the interwebs that Apple might be working on a 3G-capable iPod touch. Just like the iPad 3G, this iPod touch would have 3G data connectivity, allowing it to get internet access from virtually anywhere there is cell coverage.
Today we received a tip from an iDB reader pointing us to a page on Apple's website clearly showing an iPod touch with a 3G icon and signal strength in the status bar. Is this a hint from Apple that the company is indeed working on an iPod touch 3G?
Apple's stock opened this morning at $400, and it is currently trading slightly over that mark, at roughly $403. Fueled by some incredible earnings for its 3rd financial quarter and the rumors of an iPhone 5 and iPad 3, Apple's stock value has never been this high.
With a current market capitalization (number of shares x value of share) of $373 billion, Apple is the second largest corporation in the world, right behind Exxon Mobile, whose market cap is currently at $416 billion...
Did you know we have forums on iDB? Yes, we have a place where anyone can create a thread, ask questions, reply to others, or just share thoughts about iOS-related topics. Admittedly, I don't spend much time there myself, but that might change because we have a great mod called Hanybv making sure the iDB forums are a nice place to hangout.

Following the release of iOS 4.3.5 this morning, we issued our usual warning about staying away from the latest firmware so that you don't lose your jailbreak or unlock.
This warning is still in effect for those who don't want a tethered jailbreak. For the rest of you who don't mind plugging your iDevice in your computer every time you have to reboot, the word on the street is that RedSn0w can jailbreak iOS 4.3.5...
With the release of iOS 4.3.5 and 4.3.10 earlier today, I think it would be safe to remind you to stay away from the "update" button if you care about your jailbreak or unlock.
If you run a stock iPhone or iPad then go ahead and update to the latest firmware. But if, like most iDB readers, you heavily rely on a jailbreak/unlock, make sure you do not update...
Apple just launched a new TV commercial for the iPad 2. Nothing really original here as Apple is still trying to touch our emotions, and of course they succeed.
This ad is titled "We'll Always," and it shows that we'll never stop doing the things we love, but with the iPad we'll do them in amazing new ways...
