Apple Stock Reaches New Heights

Sébastien Page ∙ September 19, 2011

Good news if you've invested some of your hard earned (or not) money in Apple. The stock is currently skyrocketing. It reached its highest price in history today when it briefly traded at $411.50. At the time I am writing this, it is at $409.66 (a 2.3% increase from the last trading session) while the Nasdaq and Dow Jones are both down.

Is it too late to buy AAPL? I doubt it. With the iPhone 5 right around the corner, just in time for the holidays, something tells me that Apple's stock is only going to get better...

Did a Samsung Executive Just Confirm NFC for the iPhone 5?

Cody Lee ∙ September 19, 2011

In the interesting Korea Times article we mentioned earlier today, a Samsung executive was quoted in saying that the company was looking to ban all iPhone 5 sales in Korea once the new device launched.

He claimed that Samsung was going to take Apple to court over its violation of the company's patents related to wireless technology. But thankfully, the senior level executive didn't stop there with the information...

Samsung Plans to Sue Apple As Soon As the iPhone 5 Arrives in Korea

Sébastien Page ∙ September 19, 2011

Welcome to chapter XXVII of the ridiculous legal battle that Samsung and Apple are fighting, mostly over patents dictating who owns what technology. Today's potential lawsuit is brought to you by Samsung.

Even though the iPhone 5 currently is no more than a bunch of rumors and speculations, Samsung already knows for sure that it will bring Apple to court over the iPhone 5 as soon as it hits Korea...

US Marines Air Defense Team Replaces Physical Maps with iPads

Cody Lee ∙ Updated May 16, 2016

Back in July, we reported that the US military was working on integrating consumer smartphone and tablet technology into soldier's field gear. Apparently the military's technology, at least in that regard, was a bit outdated.

Now it looks like the folks pushing for updated technology have recorded their first win, as WIRED is reporting that the 3rd Aircraft Wing of the US Marines have purchased 32 iPads. The tablets are for its Light Attack Helicopter Squadron (HLMA)...

New Bentley Concept Includes iPads and Other Apple Gear

Cody Lee ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

Recognize the gorgeous interior featured in the photo above? It's the backseat of a new concept car from world-renowned luxury car-maker Bentley. The interior concept garnered a lot of oohs and ahs at last week's Frankfurt Motor Show.

Why are we so interested in the vehicle? This isn't your ordinary Bentley (is there such a thing?). Built into the backs of both front seats are two iPads, with bluetooth keyboards. The car also features an iPod touch and a host of other Apple gear...

Starbucks Adds iBooks to iTunes Giveaways

Cody Lee ∙ September 18, 2011

It's no secret that Starbucks has been in bed with Apple for a long time. The popular coffee chain has been giving away free iTunes tracks to its customers for years.

Last month we told you that the pair had stepped up their partnership to start offering free apps in Starbucks stores, and now they've added more media content to the promotion...

White iPhone 4S Pops Up in AT&T’s Retail Software

Cody Lee ∙ September 17, 2011

Hold on to your hats folks, Engadget just dropped a bombshell. The tech blog just published a photo it received from a tipster that appears to be of a screen from AT&T's internal retail software.

The screenshot looks like it was taken from the carrier's trouble ticket system, a place where reps can pass issues on to tech support. What's so interesting about the pic? It seemingly outs a new Apple device — the iPhone 4S...

About Those iPhone 5 Cases

Cody Lee ∙ September 17, 2011

It seems as though Case-Mate started a firestorm with its little publicity stunt yesterday. I call it that because whether its depiction of the iPhone 5 was accurate or not, I'm sure the company enjoyed the extra traffic.

The iPhone mockups in Case-Mate's photos looked an awful lot like the iPad 2, and some folks didn't like that. In fact, our very own Jeff wrote a piece about the images. But love 'em or hate 'em, the design can't be too far off. And here's why...

Ask Jeff: Episode 06 – An Apple Fanboy’s Perspective

Jeff Benjamin ∙ September 17, 2011

Another week, and that can only mean one or two things; you just got paid, and/or it's time for another episode of Ask Jeff.

As always, this is the show where you the viewers get to ask the questions, and I do my best to provide some decent answers.

On this week's docket, we tackle Apple fanboys, compare Android devices to the iPhone, queuing in line for the iPhone 5, and chit-chat about some of my favorite jailbreak apps. If you have a question that you're just dying to get answered, step right up...

Apple Quietly Hits the $400 per Share Mark Again

Cody Lee ∙ September 16, 2011

In the months and years leading up to Steve Jobs' resignation, most of Wall Street seemed pretty nervous about Apple's fate, post-Jobs. His ongoing health issues garnered constant speculation on whether the company could keep pace without him.

Last month, everyone was forced to confront their fears. Jobs sent out a somber resignation letter, admitting he could no longer carry out his CEO duties. But as the last few weeks have shown, Apple seemingly hasn't skipped a beat...
