It seems the trend of discounted tablets isn't over yet. Word on the street is that HP is gearing up for another production run of its TouchPad slate, and even Amazon sounds like it wants to get in on the action.
But if the obsolete tablet or the rumored beefed-up Kindle haven't peaked your interest, you might be happy to hear that Apple's online store is now offering refurbished iPad 2s at a decent discount...
With iOS 5, Apple has made some significant changes to help us "cut the wire." Instead of needing to plug your iDevice into your computer to sync with iTunes, the new firmware will allow you to do this Over-the-Air via iCloud.
But it doesn't look like the Cupertino company is stopping there. HardMac is reporting that the iPhone-makers have passed an internal message on to employees that it is planning to roll out a wireless iDevice diagnostic tool this Fall as well...
You didn't think Steve Jobs was the only one at Apple keeping an eye on his publicly available email address, did you?
Now that Apple's long-time chief has resigned, many are wondering if new CEO Tim Cook would carry on the tradition of answering emails from the public. An interesting story from MacRumors suggests that Cook is indeed answering emails from his tcook@apple.com address citing the story we posted a couple days back. There have also apparently been a number of other responses received from Cook in the days following his promotion...
It seems a day can't go by without a new iPhone 5 rumor, and today has had its fair share already. The latest rumor to throw on the metaphorical fire revolves around US cell phone carrier Sprint and an event it plans to hold in October.
The event, which will take place on October 7th, is being called a 'strategy update' by the execs at Sprint. It's supposedly aimed at giving the team a chance to speak to the press, as well as a question and answer session. But is that all? Maybe. Maybe not...
Apple is expected to unveil its new iPhone (or phones) in the next few weeks, and as usual the rumor mill is on fire. Also right on schedule are the flurry of purported next-gen components we're seeing pop up all over the web.
But so far, the parts haven't really amounted to much. Although some differences have been noted, the pieces in general look very similar to those found in the iPhone 4. Finally, some parts have surfaced that actually matter...
Last night, we reported that Apple opened up a beta version of its upcoming iTunes Match service to developers. iTunes Match is a music-mirroring utility that allows you to store music in Apple's iCloud without needing to upload all of your tracks.
In our exclusive video demo of iTunes Match, we showed you how the service seems to allow you to "stream" your music from the cloud, without needing to download the files. But Apple just told AllThingsD that that's not necessarily the case...
Shrine of Apple has one simple goal, to document every Apple product ever made in high-quality photos and video. Not only that, but they are also getting shots of original packaging and accessories.
In the process, the site is essentially creating an online museum of sorts, with goals of showcasing every publicly released product since Apple's humble beginnings in 1976...
If you take a look around at all of the latest handsets from other manufacturers, you'll notice they all have one thing in common — the charging port. It seems most mobile phone-makers have settled on the micro-USB cable as a standard.
Apple, however, has continued to go with its proprietary 30-pin connector for all of its mobile gadgets. But a recent report from German-based blog iPhone-ticker suggests that that could all change this Fall...
A new job listing uncovered by AppleInsider hints that Apple is focusing on the enhancement of location-based applications in future versions of iOS. For location-aware apps on the iPhone, Apple is looking to hire a talented "iOS QA Location Engineer" with a focus on GPS technology.
It's been rumored that Apple is working on a better Maps app for iOS, and this new job listing further corroborates that speculation.
The fact that Apple products are highly sought after and typically more expensive than similar electronics make them the perfect tool for scam artists. An Apple gadget offered at a significant discount is enough to make anyone oblivious to scandal.
That certainly seems to be the basis of an epidemic that has Grand Prairie police officers scratching their heads. The North-Texas city has seen over a dozen instances of a recurring scam involving fake Apple products...
We know, these rumors regarding Apple's upcoming iPhone announcement are getting out of control. Are there going to be two different smartphone models, or just one as usual? Will it resemble its predecessor, or feature an all new design?
Another question is that if there is a low-end smartphone introduced, what will it look like? We've heard a lot of scenarios, but at this point a retooled iPhone 4 seems the most likely. GigaOM lends support to this theory, relaying a report from Apple's supply chain...
For the last 11 years, Steve Jobs has been one of the tech world's most recognizable leaders in charge of one of its most powerful companies. So it's not surprising that the news of him stepping down last week seemingly rocked the entire industry.
However, now that Jobs doesn't have to spend his days running the show at Cupertino, he can finally enjoy a little Steve time. Or can he? Cult of Mac passes on this humorous screenshot of the ex CEO's schedule, post-resignation...
