Apple's FaceTime video calling technology has been a mild success at best, with many flat out not using it, or lamenting the fact that, currently, a WiFi connection is required.
Reports that Apple has been working with carriers on this issue have been circulating for some time now, and 9to5Mac has received information that Verizon may actually be the ones who aren't so keen on the idea...
At iDownloadBlog we like to do things big. That's why we're not spreading this giveaway out four times over just because we have four iPhone 4 cases to give away. Nope, we're giving all four of these bad boys away to one fortunate reader at random.
Okay, so it's not totally random, but it's so easy to enter, it might as well be.
Check inside for a full video review of Stylish people's Good Partner's Neo Hybrid II EX Series iPhone 4 case, along with the full details on what you need to do to claim all four of these cases for yourself...
We don't usually post stuff like this on iDB —and we certainly don't have Bieber fever — but this was too good to pass up. Apparently, Justin Bieber uses a jailbroken iPhone.
As evidenced in one of his tweets, Justin Bieber uses a jailbreak Twitter extension called qTweeter. With over 11 million Twitter followers, we're sure Justin is familiar with the best Twitter clients out there.
It's no secret that iTunes is due for a UI upgrade, and this should come true with the release of iTunes 11. A reliable source of ours has stated that iTunes 11, the next major update to iTunes, will be revamped from the ground up.
The basic layout of the iTunes UI hasn't changed since the first version. This new update will have a completely different UI and better iCloud integration.
Folks in the White House should be taking notice, because Apple now has more cash on hand than the entire US government. That's right, Steve Jobs is the new Uncle Sam.
Apple has an astounding $75.88 billion in cash, while the United States only has $73.77 billion. At least now the US has someone to borrow from besides China.
Customers that are still on AT&T's unlimited data plan may soon see some of their grandfathered privileges revoked, as AT&T will reportedly begin throttling data hogs on its network come October.
Verizon has already started throttling 'unlimited' data customers, and AT&T looks to be adopting the same practice— all in time for the iPhone 5's launch in September. AT&T will be implementing this throttling to help speed up its slow 3G network that has plagued iPhone users for years.
Cell phone use in children and adolescents does not increase the risk of either groups suffering from brain tumors, according to a new report.
In claims that fly in the face of both past research and public opinion, a report published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute answers the question we've all been wondering: Will talking on my iPhone give me cancer?
In a study that involved 1000 participants, the results suggest that the fears that children are more susceptible to radiation from phones, such as the iPhone, may be unfounded after all...
Yesterday I saw an AT&T commercial on TV saying that if you're on a family plan and choose to get unlimited text messaging, you would automatically get unlimited calling to any mobile phone in the US.
So this morning, after my delicious grande Caramel Macchiato at Starbucks, I decided to pay a visit to the AT&T store, right next to the coffee shop, and see if they could help me save a few bucks...
When Apple unveiled the iPhone 4 on Verizon in February, everyone thought that the iPhone's cross-carrier distribution in the US would be the end of Android and other competitors. That hasn't been the case, as Verizon's adoption of the iPhone hasn't slowed AT&T sales of Apple's smartphone at all. Also, overall iPhone market share hasn't seen that impressive of an increase since Verizon picked up the iPhone 4.
A new report from Asymco details how Verizon is just a "small bang" in iPhone sales, and how the "big bang" is actually happening overseas.
It would seem like the iPhone 5 rumor mill has been in full swing over the past few days. We've seen everything from cases to concepts. Now, 9to5Mac is claiming they have pictures of the real thing.
The same blog that brought us the leaked photos of the purported iPhone 5 case has just published a photo of what they believe to be Apple's next smartphone. It certainly fits the typical "leaked photo" criteria, as it's extremely blurry and hard to make out. Could this really be the iPhone 5?
As the iPhone 5 launch inches closer, it seems everyone wants to know what the device is going to look like. We've heard leaked information from "sources," and we've even seen purported cases for the gadget, but we still don't really have much to go on.
This is one of the reasons that concepts are so interesting. Artists take the rumors and the speculation, and create visual representations. This is exactly what the folks over at Ciccarese Design have done with their latest creation, the iPhone Air...
The current console generation is getting older by the minute. For example, Microsoft's Xbox 360 was unveiled on May 12, 2005 — that's over 6 years ago. Not only that, but other than Nintendo's Wii U, there hasn't been word of any upcoming console launches. What gives?
IndustryGamers helps shed some light on the topic with words from John Riccitello, Electronic Arts CEO, during a recent interview. The executive has been around the gaming industry since the 80's, and believes that consoles now only make up 40% of the market...
