Last weekend, Apple and its carrier partners opened up their iPhone 4S pre-order pages to record-breaking sales numbers. This is by far the most successful iPhone launch in the device's history.
Though the handsets aren't expected to start arriving until this Friday, some parts of the globe are already receiving shipments. We saw some of the first screenshots of the iPhone 4S earlier today, and now we have the first hands-on video...
Needless to say, the last few days have been both frustrating and exciting. Exciting because I was among the first to order my iPhone 4S on Friday morning; frustrating because Apple's order status page still reads "Preparing for Shipment".
This wouldn't be so annoying if it weren't for the fact that most of the iDB staff received shipment notifications a while ago.
I know, first world problems indeed, but a problem it was. Thankfully, there's a quick and easy way to gather accurate results about the whereabouts of your new iPhone 4S. I show you how in this video tutorial...
The first iPhone 4S pre-order shipments seem to be arriving for the lucky few around the world. Certain customers in Germany has been delivered an iPhone 4S already.
Images of the iPhone 4S packaging and handset have been posted by German site Macerkopf.de. Photos and screenshots of the device reveal physical details and the highly-anticipated "Siri" feature that Apple unveiled alongside the 4S last Tuesday...
One of the disappointments many people felt when Apple announced the iPhone 4S was the lack of a redesigned chassis. After so many rumors of a new design, many were unhappy that Apple had decided to stick with the iPhone 4 design we're all familiar with.
We all consoled ourselves with the fact that our existing iPhone 4 accessories and cases would fit the new iPhone 4S, but it seems that might not be the case (if you'll pardon the pun!) after all...
When Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S last week, it was pretty clear that they were proud of the handset's new camera. Not only did engineers tack on 3 megapixels, but they also tweaked the optics system and widened the camera's F stop.
While we've seen the amazing sample photos that Apple posted on its website, we've yet to see how the camera will perform out in the real world. Until now. TUAW has come across the first photo taken with an iPhone 4S, outside of Cupertino...
After months of rumors, Apple finally confirmed last week that Sprint was going to be offering its latest handset. This Friday marks the first time that the carrier will have partnered with the Cupertino company on a major product launch.
Working with Apple generally means working for Apple, and it looks like Sprint is going to find that out this week. BGR has revealed some details surrounding Apple's rules for the carrier's first ever iPhone launch, and they're pretty intense...
Apple has another hit on its hands. Earlier today, the Cupertino company announced that it received a staggering 1 million iPhone 4S pre-orders in the first 24 hours.
With shipping dates now 1-2 weeks out, those looking to score an iPhone 4S by Friday are running out of options. But before you set up camp outside of your local Apple store, you may want to give Best Buy a try...
Those crazy folks at Microsoft seem quite keen on this new release of Windows Phone 7 they've been working on, and with good reason. Windows Phone 7.5, or "Mango," is starting to find its way onto new and old handsets alike, and people seem rather taken with the changes the Microsoft has made.
With that success behind him, Windows Phone boss Andy Lees spoke to The Seattle Times, and he couldn't help dissing Apple and Google while upholding Windows Phone as the best option out there for consumers...
Apple has started sending shipping notifications to customers that pre-ordered the iPhone 4S last Friday. Some orders still say "preparing for shipment," but most customers have noticed that the iPhone 4S has been shipped with a delivery date of October 14th.
Pre-orders are coordinated with UPS in the US to ensure that shipments don't arrive before the confirmed delivery date, so don't get your hopes up for an early iPhone 4S delivery to your doorstep...
AppVV has managed to get its hands on an iPhone 4S. The video demonstrates Apple's revolutionary Siri voice technology and early benchmarks for the device.
This video demonstrates the Siri settings in iOS 5, as well as "Raise to Speak" mode...
Apple has confirmed that iPhone 4S pre-orders topped 1 million units sold in the first 24 hours of availability. This number places the iPhone 4S as the most pre-ordered product in Apple's history.
The iPhone 4 saw 600,000 pre-orders on its first day. Apple's newest smartphone is on track to become the best-selling iPhone ever...
For years, skeptics have viewed Apple enthusiasts in a prejudice light. Dubbed "fan boys," this herd of sheep would throw down money for any product bearing the fruit-shaped logo, and would defend the company to the death if necessary.
And it seems like the more successful Apple has gotten, the more vocal the cynics have become — especially in the mobile phone space. And I don't think that there is any group louder than the Android users...
