T-Mobile US Eagerly Awaits the iPhone

Alex Heath ∙ Updated July 24, 2016

T-Mobile is the only main US carrier that doesn't carry the iPhone. It's currently unclear as to why Apple hasn't partnered with T-Mobile to sell the iPhone, but the most logical assumption would be that it has something to do with the AT&T/T-Mobile acquisition that is currently being reviewed by the FCC.

The CEO of T-Mobile has gone on the record time and time again to explain that his company really wants the iPhone. And Apple is apparently to blame for all of the unhappy, iPhone-less T-Mobile customers out there...

Siri Can Also Search Bing and Yahoo

Oliver Haslam ∙ October 21, 2011

If you've spent any time with Siri, you may have noticed that you can actually ask it to search the web for pretty much anything. At this point, Siri fires up a Google search and populates the search field with whatever it thinks you asked. The degree of accuracy here very much depends on your accent and whether it's a full moon or not, but on the whole, it does the job fairly well.

But did you know that you can also have Siri work its magic with both the Microsoft Bing and Yahoo search engines? Well, you can...

Some Scenes From “The Avengers” Movie Were Shot with an iPhone

Oliver Haslam ∙ October 20, 2011

If you're the kind of iPhone user that reads blogs about, well, iPhones, then the chances are you also fall into the category some like to call "geek." It's no longer a derogatory term; being a geek means you tend to like things like smartphones, computers, and comics.

If all that sounds like you, then chances are you'll like this latest tidbit to come out of Hollywood. It turns out that the upcoming Avengers movie was partly filmed on one of Apple's little iPhones, instead of the rather expensive cameras movie studios usually use.

How cool is that? Very, very cool indeed...

What Apple Got Right and Wrong with iCloud

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

All the rumors and all the betas are over. Now we're all using Apple's iCloud. We're syncing, we're backing up, and (to certain extent) we're streaming. Life is good... kind of.

For those of us who remember the debacle that was Apple's launch of the now-replaced MobileMe. the initial iCloud launch is undoubtedly leagues ahead of the chaos and server failures that accompanied the arrival of Apple's previous cloud service. iCloud seems to be more robust, but does it actually do what most of us want?

First, let's take a quick look at the good parts of iCloud before moving onto the bad and the crazy...
