I have a love/hate relationship with BiteSMS. On the on hand, it's my most used application and I can't seem to find a decent replacement that offers as many features, but on the other hand, it's the only application that sometimes often causes my iPhone to crash.
I've tried to replace it many times but I always come back to it simply because its feature list has been unmatched so far. Today, BiteSMS gets that much better with version 6.3 now available in Cydia...
Apple is expected to unveil its latest smartphone next month on September 12. And though the handset won't launch until the 21st, pre-orders for the device are said to begin the same day.
For those of you who plan on selling your old iPhone to help pay for the new one, that gives you around three weeks to do so. But according to resell data, you may not want to wait that long...
Apple has effectively broken the mold for retail chains with its successful line of Apple Stores. Located on expensive prime real estate, and designed inside and out to be completely unique, nothing about Apple's stores are average.
That includes performance as well. A report earlier this year found that Apple's retail stores made roughly 17 times more than the average retailer — including jewelry stores. And today we find out some more interesting stats...
The iPhone has been everywhere -- your car, your bike, your backpack -- why not your flowerpot? A Kickstarter project is trying to raise the cash needed to build the Bloombox, a sleek combination of iPhone/iPod dock and natural habitat.
"The Bloombox was born out of the combination of my three driving passions and my own need for a dock," explains the creator, Brennan Conroy. The Kickstarter project has collected more than $3,000 towards its $5,000 goal for making a ceramic mold at Mudshark Studios...
In line with today's news that Apple has surpassed Microsoft's record for largest market cap, we've found another interesting stat involving the two companies that you might find interesting.
In looking at recent sales numbers, Apple's iPhone business alone is now worth more than all of Microsoft's products — that's Windows, Office, Xbox, you name it — put together...
Apple's stock has taken down several major milestones in the past couple of days. Last Thursday, AAPL closed at an all-time high of $636.34 per share, and it has since surpassed its all-time high of $644.
Today, the stock is trading at a staggering $665. And given the fact that it has 937.41 million shares outstanding, that gives it a market cap of $623.05 billion — the highest ever for a publicly-traded company...
If you thought Rovio teaming up with the folks of NASA to create Angry Birds Space was cool, wait until you hear this. The studio has just announced a new partnership with American punk rock band Green Day.
Green Day has sold over 65 million records worldwide, on the back of major hits like "Good Riddance: (Time of Your Life)" and "21 guns." So it's only right that they be forever immortalized as bad piggies, right?
Surprise, surprise. The two companies that have been going at it in courtrooms around the world for the past year and a half, failed to reach any kind of settlement in their patent dispute this weekend.
In response to a suggestion by Judge Koh last week, attorneys from both Apple and Samsung met over the weekend in a last-ditch settlement effort before the trial gets handed over to the jury this week...

When we first saw the message asking us to contact AT&T before we could enable FaceTime over Cellular, we knew something was up. Now the cat has been let out of the bag.
As it turns out, AT&T won't be charging for FaceTime over Cellular as if it were a separate feature, but it will require you to switch to their new shared data plan.
What do you think about this?
The amount of claimed leaked next-generation iPhone parts we're seeing is starting to get out of control. Yesterday we saw a purported dock connector for the handset, and now this.
The above photo is of what's believed to be a complete front panel belonging to Apple's next smartphone. It has the rumored elongated display, and a repositioned FaceTime camera...
Yesterday we broke the news that our friend and iOS hacker pod2g had uncovered a major security flaw in the way the iPhone handles SMS. The exploit basically allows anyone to specify a different "reply-to" phone number when sending you a text message. You can easily imagine various scenarios of how this could be used maliciously.
Today, Apple sent a statement that doesn't necessarily makes us feel better about the exploit found, but which does insist on the fact that iMessage is more secure than standard text messages...
