Apple and Samsung's ongoing court battle has resulted in a temporary ban of Samsung products all over the globe. The Korean company has been blocked from selling its Galaxy tablet and other devices in Australia, Germany, and other countries.
Now, the duo prepares to square off in the United States, and things just got a lot more interesting. FOSSPatents is reporting that Verizon Wireless, the largest carrier in the country, just filed a motion to intervene on behalf of Samsung...
Just like they did last week with the reset of iCloud backups, Apple has now scheduled a reset of iTunes Match libraries for beta testers on September 26th 9AM PST. At that time, all iCloud libraries will be deleted.
To get ready for the big reset, you will simply have to turn iTunes Match off on your computer and iOS devices. Obviously, this will not affect any of the songs that are physically stored on your computer or your iDevice...
Apple has started denying vacation requests from employees for the 2nd week of October, indicating that the company expects a high influx of customers during that time.
Rumors have suggested that the next iPhone launch will take place in the 2nd week of October alongside the public launch of iOS 5 and iCloud. Apple is expected to hold its next media event on October 4th to announce its new products for the holiday season...
Dear Samsung, If you're going to claim in court that Apple is copying your devices, then maybe you should think twice before creating a product that looks extremely similar to something Apple already made before, such as a phone charger.
Samsung, as you can see in the picture above, the USB AC charger you provide with the Galaxy S II closely resembles Apple's. As a matter of fact, if it wasn't for your logo and the different color, we could think they're both the same...
A couple of days ago we showed you leaked iPhone 4S cases from popular case maker Otterbox. The cases and packaging were leaked by Chronic (original founder of the Chronic Dev Team).
Otterbox has officially responded to the controversy surround this alleged leak, and the company has promised to support the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, should Apple choose to announce both devices next month...
There's an old saying that goes, "when one door closes, another one opens." That metaphor seems to really fit today for those of you looking for a good deal on an iOS app. Just as Snapseed's super-sale comes to an end, another one begins.
In honor of the PGA Tour Championship this weekend, EA Sports has made its iOS version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2012 completely free. The game typically runs $4.99 for the iPhone app, and $6.99 for the iPad edition. But wait, there's more...
Well, that didn't take long. Just three days after we reported that the Google+ app was going to be getting an update, the new software dropped. And just as we expected, the update brings Hangout support as well as a host of other enhancements.
Now that the social networking service is open to the public, and has a well-rounded mobile application, it'll be interesting to see how it stacks up against the competition. Hit the jump for a full rundown of all of the app's new features and improvements...
Although Google originally started off as just a search engine, it hasn't been afraid to try its hand in other markets. We've seen the Mountain View company produce desktop and cell phone software, and seemingly everything in between.
Well it appears like software wasn't enough to satisfy the mighty search giant, as now the company is looking into the cell phone carrier market. BGR passes on a report from cellular-news that claims Google is testing an MVNO service in Spain...
The legal battles between Apple and Samsung have gone ugly, and it seems this is just the beginning. But if Samsung wants to make a strong case for itself in court, the company had better get its act together.
The above picture was taken in a new Samsung company store in Centro Sicilia, Italy. As you can see, the new store decors include icons of Apple's own Safari and App Store apps...
The debate between Apple's iOS and Android can get heated pretty quickly. I (in some cases) would rank someone's mobile OS preference right up there with their political views. It can get that serious.
But whether you prefer Google's open platform, or Apple's more fenced-off approach, you have to agree with one thing: Both OSes are killing it. The proof is in the numbers, as 9to5Mac points out in Millennial Media's Mobile Mix report...
We've seen some pretty odd iPhone cases over the years here at iDB. There was the lego case, and the one shaped like a hand. There was even one that allowed you to store your um, smoking equipment.
But we've also seen our fair share of cool cases as well, and this next one certainly falls in that category. Cult of Mac points to an interesting line of see-through snap-on iPhone cases called the iTattoo...
As many of you know, I've been an avid jailbreaker of my iPhone ever since it was announced that jailbreaking was officially legal.
True, I never really thought the whole "illegal" aspect had a leg to stand on in the first place, but I do my best to play within the rules.
Now that jailbreaking has become a part of my life, a viewer inquires about the possibility of it going away as time moves forward. I consider this prospect, and many other questions in Episode 07 of Ask Jeff...
