A few days ago a $9.99 jailbreak app surfaced in the App Store. The app was clearly a fake, and we quickly told you that the app had nothing to do with jailbreaking anything — it was a crappy, 2D scrolling game.
Apple has now pulled the app from the App Store, so people will be unable to get duped by the app's false description. The real question is this: How did Apple let an app called "Jailbreak" in the App Store in the first place?
Those living in India won't have much longer to wait before they can get their hands on an iPhone 4S, according to reports.
The Times of India is reporting that Apple will begin selling its latest iPhone through at least one of its usual carrier partners in the country on November 25th, with both Bharti Airtel and Aircel set to offer the popular handset.
Aircel has already begun teasing the iPhone 4S to customers via its official Facebook page, similar to what UK and other international carriers did before their respective launches...
If there was ever any doubt about just how seriously Apple is taking the transition from the 'trucks' of the old generation, MacBooks and Macs, to the new generation of touch-enabled iOS devices, then this should end it. According to a report by 9to5Mac, Apple is planning to change the way it operates its Genius Bar, by incorporating the iPad into its workflow.
Currently, Apple's staff use MacBook Pros to help diagnose issues and then work to rectify them, but it would appear that the company will now begin using iPads running custom software.
The change sees Apple replace its own premium notebooks with tablets, offering increased portability to the technical customer service process...
Last week, Adobe announced that it was going to be discontinuing its work on its mobile Flash player. The news wasn't that surprising, but it seemed to catch a lot of folks off-guard. There was even some confusion regarding the company's decision to end the project.
With that in mind, Adobe's Principal Product Manager for developer relations on the Flash platform, Mike Chambers, took to his blog yesterday. He felt that he needed to clear the air on why Adobe chose to nix the mobile Flash project...
People in fifteen new countries can now walk into a store and pick up an iPhone 4S, as long as they can find one, that is!

Since the iPhone 4S debuted last month at Apple's "Let's Talk" iPhone event, everyone has been talking about one feature: Siri. Apple's digital assistant has become extremely popular, even outside the tech world.
Unlike most inventions that make their way into Apple's iOS products, Siri wasn't made in Cupertino. It was actually acquired in a deal rumored to be worth close to $200 million, making a handful of men instant millionaires. Meet Dag Kittlaus...
You'll probably remember that before the iPhone 4S was announced, it was pretty much open season on rumors. We had all kinds of them.
If you believed the rumors, we were going to get a new, smaller iPhone with a larger screen. It was going to be thinner, too. It was going to be even more awesome than something that's really awesome, and we were going to need one. Badly.
What we did get was the iPhone 4S, and while we're not saying that's a bad thing, it's no iPhone 5. But was there any truth to some of those iPhone 5 rumors after all? According to one Business Insider source, there may just have been some...
After months of beta testing, Apple released iOS 5 to the masses on October 12th. The update was one of the biggest ever for Apple's mobile operating system, bringing in over 200 new features. But unfortunately, they didn't come without a price.
Almost immediately after the new software was released, users began complaining of poor battery performance. Apple responded to the complaints with iOS 5.0.1, an update that was supposed to fix the highly-publicized battery bugs...
"All kinds of gifts for all kinds of lists." That's Apple's motto for its just-launched 2011 Holiday Gift Guide. As it does every year, Apple has put together a helpful page for hot gifts to give during the holidays.
There all kinds of products listed in the collection, including the ever-so-popular iDevices that we are all fond of. Buying from the holiday guide includes some perks...
We knew it was going to come at some point during the month of November, but we didn't know when Apple was going to officially start selling the unlocked iPhone 4S in the United States. Turns out, it was today.
With Apple already selling unlocked handsets on other countries, this is bringing the United States into line with everyone else. But if you've been waiting for the chance to buy an iPhone 4S without a 2-year contract, well, now you can!
All three capacities are available, along with both white and black models...
There has been more than a little confusion surrounding the state of play with the SIM slot on Sprint's iPhone 4S handsets. Are they unlocked? Were they unlocked? Will they ever be unlocked? We've gone through the whole gamut of options over the last few weeks.
SprintFeed has got hold of some clarification via internal Sprint documents, and the waters may be starting to clear. It's a mixture of both good, and bad news.
According to their analysis of the aforementioned document, it seems that Sprint will begin locking iPhone 4S smartphones during the activation process, and that will begin on 11/11/11...
When Apple dropped iOS 5.0.1 yesterday, the hope amongst many was that it may help to fix the battery issue that was introduced with iOS 5.0.
It is becoming apparent that iOS 5.0.1 may not have actually fixed the battery bug we told you about before, with our own location-based fix still appearing to be the best way of saving precious battery life...
