Hot on the heels of their big victory against Samsung here in the United States, Apple's legal team has just won another important decision against Motorola in Munich, German.
The German court has just awarded the Cupertino company a preliminary sales ban against Motorola's phones and tablets in the country, ruling that they infringe on Apple's patents...
Apple yesterday alongside the iPhone 5, new iPods and several other announcements also took the wraps off the EarPods, a new headset. Cupertino has finally refreshed its crappy in-ear headset with higher sound quality. Hopefully, the headphone is now shaped to prevent it from falling out of your ear.
The company spent three years designing the new headset and tested a total of 124 different prototypes of the EarPods on over six hundred people. You may have noticed three little holes poked in the EarPods, here's what these do to improve sound quality...
Apple is taking iPhone 5 pre-orders starting 12:01am Pacific, 3am Eastern on September 14. That’s tomorrow and less than 24 hours from now. In addition to the online Apple Store, carriers Sprint, AT&T and Verizon have confirmed they will be taking pre-orders for the phone at the same time.
Several regional U.S. carriers also announced availability and retailer Walmart said it will be taking pre-orders at its U.S. stores starting at 8am, priced at $189.97 with a two-year AT&T, Verizon or Sprint contract.
With plenty of options for those who are planning on upgrading, I'm wondering if you prefer pre-ordering or standing in line for this year's iPhone...
If you don't plan on pre-ordering your iPhone this weekend, but still want to grab the handset as soon as it launches, your only other option is to stand in line at an Apple, or other retail, store.
Queues for new Apple products are banal, sometimes starting a week or more ahead of launches, with hundreds of people. But if waiting in line isn't for you, these folks are up to the task...
iOS 6 GM was released yesterday, and it was shortly followed up by a release of the RedSn0w 0.9.13dev4 jailbreak tool.
Again, as with all RedSn0w releases for the iOS 6 beta, this tethered jailbreak will not install Cydia, but instead provides SSH access for developers.
Take a look inside for our full walkthrough that shows how to jailbreak iOS 6 GM with RedSn0w...
Apple's promotional video detailing the biggest iPhone 5 features went live shortly following yesterday's series of announcements, but you need QuickTime, Apple's media software, to watch it in your browser.
Many hate QuickTime, especially Windows PC users. The QuickTime for Windows installer is nearly a hundred megabyte download and the software has become infamous for its resource hoginess (is that even a word?).
Luckily, two hours ago the company uploaded the clip to its YouTube channel and we've embedded it here for your viewing pleasure...
Apple is going to release its sixth-generation smartphone later this month, and the competition has never been tougher. Yesterday's iPhone event capped off a two week run of handset announcements from Samsung, Nokia and Motorola.
Samsung, for its part, is on fire right now with its Galaxy S III, selling more than 20 million units in 100 days. And both Nokia's Lumia 920 and Motorola's RAZR HD look promising. Here's how the iPhone 5 compares to those devices...
Of all the three major carriers in the United States, none is able to support the iPhone 5 high-definition voice technology at launch. Specifically, carriers AT&T and Verizon don't yet support wideband audio and Sprint's HD Voice technology is only compatible with CDMA x1 technology whereas the iPhone 5 taps WCDMA networks for the feature. There is, of course, hope that major U.S. telcos will catch up and update their backend for the iPhone 5 wideband audio...
Apple took a lot of heat over their UDID system earlier this year when it was discovered that some developers were misusing the information. And the criticism amplified a few weeks ago when hackers published a list of over a million device IDs.
In response to the hack, Apple released a statement saying that it was going to be replacing the UDID in iOS 6, and was banning the future use of the data. That replacement is called Advertising Identifier, and Apple introduces it in iOS 6 GM...
Apple told us during yesterday's presser that it will begin accepting pre-orders for the new iPhone 5 tomorrow, September 14. As the company stopped short of specifying the exact time frame, Wired's Gadget Lab reached out to Apple's PR and the company has confirmed that online pre-orders for the iPhone 5 will go live in just less than 24 hours, on September 14 at 12:01...
Apple yesterday introduced the new in-ear headphones called EarPods that ship with every iPod touch, iPod nano and iPhone 5 (also available as a standalone accessory). The promotional video was published on Apple's web site, explaining how the company went about re-engineering its previous crappy in-ear headset and why it spent three years redesigning it.
Not everyone was aware of the clip and you needed QuickTime to stream it from Apple's web site. Not anymore, as Apple uploaded the EarPods video to its YouTube channel. Let us know what you think in the comments...
"How will people know that I upgrade?", asked rhetorically a guy standing in the line for a new iPhone in Samsung's anti-Apple ad from last November. Breathing new life into the "iPhone is boring" meme, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel sent the camera out on the street to ask people to check out the new iPhone 5 whereas in reality they were looking at the current iPhone 4S. Apparently, a lot of people are willing to believe that an iPhone 4S is the iPhone 5...
