The iPhone 4S is the First Handset with Bluetooth 4.0

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...

Interview With the First Person in Line for the iPhone 4S

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...

Dual-Core A5 Apple TV Leaked in iOS 5 Beta

The code ninjas at 9to5Mac have uncovered references to a new, more powerful Apple TV in the iOS 5 beta.

Since Apple started implementing the faster A5 processor in products like the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S, we've all been wondering when the Apple TV will see a specs bump. Practically, a move to the A5 chip in the Apple TV would mean that 1080p video content is coming to Apple's beloved set-top box...

The Steve Jobs Movie, Coming Soon to a Theater Near You

The day after Steve Jobs passed away, I thought to myself that there had to be some movie studios who'd want to make a movie out of the amazing story of his life. And it seems I was right.

According to Deadline, Sony Pictures is set to acquire the rights to Walter Isaacson's upcoming biography of Steve Jobs, and make a movie out of it...

JailbreakMe is Safe Again

Yesterday the news broke that JailbreakMe.com had been sold to an unknown person, creating a bit of panic in the jailbreak community after a few prominent iOS hackers had suggested not to use the site anymore for security reasons.

As it turns out, JailbreakMe.com is now a safe place again, thanks to saurik, who apparently purchased the domain name from the previous owner...

Status Update on iPhone 4S Availability

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...

US iPhone 4S Preorder Shipping Now Showing 1-2 Weeks

Hot on the heels of AT&T's announcement earlier today that it has been seeing enormous demand for the iPhone 4S, Apple itself now seems to be feeling the pressure.

Earlier today we reported that the Cupertino company was forced to push back international shipping dates for the iPhone 4S, and now the delay has spilled over into the US...

AT&T Sold 200,000 iPhone 4S Units in First 12 Hours

MacRumors points to a report from Reuters citing that AT&T is seeing extraordinary demand for Apple's new smartphone. As most of you know, Apple opened up iPhone 4S preorders just after midnight (PST) last night.

The company has been met with a lot of criticism over its latest handset, which it unveiled last Tuesday. But that doesn't seem to have affected consumer demand for the device. AT&T believes that they've already sold 200,000 of them...

Steve Jobs’ Funeral Today, No Public Memorial Planned

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Steve Jobs' funeral is taking place today. The news puts a devastating period at the end of one of the saddest sentences in tech history. Steve Jobs has passed away.

The service will consist of a small "private gathering," and it doesn't appear that there will be any kind of public memorial held. But, as a quick look around the world will tell you, the public has already come up with its own way of honoring Steve...

International iPhone 4S Shipping Estimates Already Pushed Back 1-2 Weeks

While iPhone 4S pre-orders in the US seem to be working just fine, international demand for the 4S has caused Apple to push back the shipping estimate for the 4S to 1-2 weeks. Instead of the assured delivery date on October 14th that Apple originally promised, shipping estimates for the 4S have slipped to a more uncertain delivery date for international customers.

Apple stores in countries like Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Australia have all had shipping dates pushed back already. The iPhone 4S became available for pre-order after 12AM this morning...

Apple and AT&T Working Together to Get “4G” Indicator in iPhone 4S Status Bar

What is 4G? Other than the fact that it's the wireless standard that comes after 3G, I'm not sure that a lot of people outside of the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) know the answer. It's supposed to be a lot faster, right?

For months, both AT&T and T-Mobile have been taking advantage of this grey area surrounding the marketing buzz term, touting their HSPA+ networks as "4G." Now it appears that Apple is going to be hopping on the bandwagon...

Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart Pay Respect to Steve Jobs

We've seen our fair share of reactions to Steve Jobs' death since the news broke on Wednesday. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak's video interview was probably the most moving of them all.

Yesterday, it was Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart's turn to pay respect to Jobs in their own way. Funny and touching at the same time...
