Popular tech patent-analyst Florian Mueller is reporting that Apple has just scored a major legal win in Australia. The Cupertino company has been battling Samsung all over the globe, and it just scored a major victory in Sydney.
On Mueller's blog, FOSSPatents, he discusses the importance of a recent decision by the Federal Court of Australia in the Apple vs. Samsung patent dispute. The court has just ordered an interim injunction over Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1...
Even with the death of the mastermind behind Apple, former CEO and found Steve Jobs, 2011 has been an incredible year for Apple.
Apple has broken record sales, launched several new products and services, such as iCloud, Siri, OS X Lion, iPad 2, and the iPhone 4S. All this success comes with the help of Apple's dedicated employees.
According to MacGeneration, in recognition of all this success, Apple CEO Tim Cook has sent out an email to Apple corporate employees telling them to take all of Thanksgiving week off, with pay...
Apple has been battling against the jailbreak scene for nearly 4 years. Every time hackers find an exploit, Apple is right there to release a software update to patch it. But boot-level exploits, like GeoHot's Limera1n, are much harder to fix.
In fact, Limera1n continues to be used for iOS 5 jailbreaks on pre-A5 devices. So, Apple had to think outside the box with their latest mobile software update. They had to come up with something to try and slow down the hackers. And they did...
If you were one of the many people that tried to update to iOS 5 yesterday, you probably ran into a few problems. Apple updated and released an incredible amount of software yesterday, and the company's servers couldn't handle the heavy traffic.
When iOS 5 dropped mid-day, Apple's backend got crushed with download and verification requests from users wanting to install iOS 5. Now, it seems that things are mostly back to normal, and you should be able to update to iOS 5 without a problem.
Apple seeded the public version of iOS 5 earlier today, adding over 200 new features to its mobile OS. The Cupertino company gave a preview of the software back in June, and now it has given everyone the chance to check it out.
Among the several additions to iOS, one of the most prominent is the new iMessaging system. The cross-device messaging client can be used by any product running iOS 5. So how does it work? Hit the jump for a full breakdown...
Just when you thought the onslaught of software releases was finished for the day, Apple drops another new title. iTunes Movie Trailers for iOS is a new app that contains hundreds of movie trailers and other film related information.
Much like other apps in the category, such as Flixster, Apple's new Trailers software gives you access to all kinds of data regarding new movies. You can watch previews, read overviews, and discover showtimes for new releases...
If you're just tuning in to iDB today, Apple is in the middle of seeding several major software updates and releases. The Cupertino company just released iOS 5, and now they've pushed out updates for the iWork software suite.
Along with the new mobile software, iCloud has started rolling out to the masses. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote have all been updated to support Apple's new sync and storage service...
As iPhone 4S units start arriving across the globe this week, expect to see several head-to-head comparison videos with top competitors. Some critics believe that the latest iPhone doesn't measure up to the competition, so it's time to find out for sure.
Slashgear is one of the first to the party, as the site has obtained a Verizon-flavored version of Apple's new handset. And with a T-Mobile-branded Samsung Galaxy S II laying around, they decided to pit the two smartphones against each other in a web test...
Apple today made iOS 5 available to the public, with the update now being pushed out via iTunes for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
The update, first previewed back in June, has seen 7 betas seeded to iOS developers, as well as the final GM release after last week's "Let's Talk iPhone" event.
Offering more changes than we care to list (we've already done that once), this is the biggest revamp of iOS to date...
Back when Apple first announced iCloud, and the subsequent beta, one of the new features to make the biggest splash was iTunes in the Cloud. Up until that point, if an iTunes customer bought a song and deleted it they were stuck with no option but to either call Apple support and try to sweet talk them into issuing a refund or replacement track, or to simply stump up the cash all over again.
With iTunes in the Cloud, that was no-longer the case. Now, a new Purchased section in iTunes lists all bought music as well as apps and books, and the world is a better place for it.
Unfortunately, while books and apps found their way outside the US, music did not. Until now...
We're afraid it's not all good news today. With the entire iPhone, iPad and iPod touch-owning public eagerly awaiting the public release of iOS 5, all is not rosy on the iOS front, especially if you happen to be a proud owner of the first-generation iPad.
If you've grown comfortable with the multi-touch gestures Apple added earlier this year to the iPad, you're going to be in for a shock when your iPad restarts after installing iOS 5, for those same gestures will be gone. Lost forever...
We already knew that the iPhone 4S was going to be the first world phone to come out of the Apple labs, and that meant that both GSM and CDMA handset flavors would roam on the networks of international carriers. This was good news, meaning that customers of both Verizon and Sprint could now take their handsets abroad and continue to use them.
Now, there's even better news for those customers, with Macworld discovering that they might actually have an advantage over AT&T (and all other GSM carriers across the planet), thanks to the unlocked SIM slot on the CDMA iPhone 4S...
