Adobe to Hold Special Event During Apple’s iPhone Keynote on Tuesday

Are you going to be following Tuesday's special event? I'm not talking about the upcoming iPhone announcement – who cares about that? I'm talking about the other special event. The one held by Adobe at 10am, where the company is supposed to announce new user experiences both in the browser and in apps.

It is unclear who chose the date and time first, but one thing is sure: I doubt many people will be following Adobe's announcement while Apple is unveiling its next iPhone...

Apple iDevices Make More Money Than All of Microsoft’s Products Put Together

Asymco has released a report that compares Apple's and Microsoft's financial earnings. Asymco's Horace Dediu compares product revenue from both companies to determine who has better financial performance.

Microsoft has its mind-boggling array of Windows products, along with multiple enterprise solutions. And there's of course Windows Phone 7. Apple has all of its 'i' hardware, software, percentage cuts from the iTunes store, Mac sales, and peripherals.

So, who is the victor in the battle for revenue? You guessed it...

‘F.lux’ Helps Prevent Eyestrain When Using Your iPhone at Night

It's been a long time coming, but one of my favorite OS X utilities has made its way to iOS. Indeed, f.lux just appeared on the iPhone, but not via the conventional App Store method.

f.lux is a handy utility that automatically adjusts the color temperature of your screen, resulting in significantly reduced eye-strain.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of f.lux, it pretty much has no chance of ever appearing on the official App Store. Thankfully, the team behind this excellent tweak has found refuge on Cydia...

If Only the iPhone 4S is Expected Next Week, What’s With All of These Cases?

Apple's iPhone event is just a few days away, and after months of rumors, we're still unsure of what to expect. Since March, there has been speculation that the Cupertino company would be unveiling multiple handsets this year.

Over the last few weeks, the two-phone theory has largely dropped out of the conversation. A majority of the tech world now seems to think that we'll only see one iPhone model next week: the 4S. But what about all of these iPhone 5 cases still floating around?

Apple Approving iOS 5 Compatibility Updates in the App Store Ahead of iOS 5 Public Launch

Apple started initially approving app compatibility updates for iOS 5 back in August. With iOS 5 set for a public release next week at the earliest, Apple is continuing to approve more iOS 5 compatibility updates for popular apps in the App Store.

A Preview of How Apple’s Top Secret Assistant Feature Could Work on the Next iPhone

If you haven't figured it out by now, there's more to iOS 5 than meets the eye. Since the new software was unveiled in June, Apple has been holding some of its best features close to the vest as it fine-tunes them to perfection.

One of those top secret features is a system-wide utility known as Assistant. The voice-activated digital concierge can do anything from sending text messages to performing internet searches. Want to see how it could work?

Apple Puts Another Nail in the iPod Classic’s Coffin

Apple quietly removed its click wheel games category from the iTunes App Store this morning. Multiple sources have already said that Apple is getting ready to kill the iPod Classic and the iPod Shuffle, so this move doesn't come as a surprise.

With the Classic on its deathbed, it's obvious that the age of the click wheel is nearing an end. We'll miss you, little click wheel.

The First iPhone 5 Review Hits the Web

After scoring the lost iPhone 4 prototype last year, it was hard for Gizmodo to outdo themselves this year. Yet they still did, by publishing the world's first iPhone 5 review four days before the device is actually unveiled by Apple.

How could they possibly do this? The answer is rather simple: by creating a physical mockup based on the rumors we've heard, but also by focusing their review mainly on iOS 5. The result isn't as bad as you'd think...
