If you've already pre-ordered your iPhone 4S, chances are you've noticed that the option to buy an unlocked 4S in the US won't be available until November.
A specific date has not been given, but US iPhone customers will have to wait for a carrier unlocked 4S. Customers in the UK can buy pre-order an unlocked 4S today.
Originally scheduled for 12:01am, the iPhone 4S pre-ordering process seems to have encountered a few problems, but it is now working.
After repeatedly hitting the CMD+R keys on my MacBook Air keyboard for 44 minutes, I was finally able to get in. In just a few minutes, I was able to place my order for an AT&T 64GB black iPhone 4S...
Good news for folks who pulled the trigger a little too early on buying an iPhone with AT&T in the last 60 days. ModMyi announced this morning that the carrier will be extending its 30-day return policy for recent iPhone purchasers.
While the initial report was based on a purported internal carrier document, iDB was able to confirm the news with AT&T via a customer service representative. Hit the jump for a full rundown of the limited-time return program...
After introducing the iPhone 4S on Tuesday, Apple was met with an onslaught of harsh criticism for essentially "not living up to the hype." Several rumors regarding a completely redesigned handset seemed to set the wrong expectations.
But level-headed folks saw this coming a mile away. The Cupertino company pulled the same thing with the 3GS. Why recreate something brand new every year, when the cell phone business generally revolves around two-year contracts?
My neighbor Scott told me yesterday he was disappointed because Apple was releasing an iPhone 4S and not an iPhone 5. I asked him if he would have been happier if Apple's new device was called iPhone 5. He said yes, then he thought about it, and realized how stupid his original comment had been.
My friend Felipe told yesterday that he was disappointed because Apple had not updated the design of the iPhone 4S. I asked him if he would have been happier if Apple had unveiled a brand new design. He said yes. I asked him if he thought that the current iPhone 4 was a beautiful device. He agreed. So I asked him what the problem was...
This is a friendly reminder to those of you who plan on getting the iPhone 4S. You can pre-order it tonight! Pre-orders will start at 12:01am PST, or 3:01am EST.
The details of the pre-ordering process aren't known yet, but we can fairly assume the process will be the same as the last couple of years...
Sprint has started accepting pre-orders for the 8GB iPhone 4 model that Apple announced on Tuesday. Pre-orders for the iPhone 4S start tomorrow on AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.
Apple announced that the iPhone would be coming to Sprint at its "Let's Talk iPhone" event, and Sprint is differentiating itself from AT&T and Verizon by offering unlimited data for new customers...
In the first three years of the iPhone's existence, the handset was crippled by limited availability. The only carrier in the US that offered the smartphone was AT&T. And in other countries, the device's exclusivity was just as bad.
This year, however, Apple has been making some major strides. With the iPhone 4S, three out of the four major US carriers will have access to the device. But what does the new handset mean for T-Mobile customers and other unlockers?
One part of Apple's iPhone 4S announcement that perhaps isn't getting all that much talk time (see what I did there?) is the new, redesigned antenna system. That's particularly interesting considering how eager everyone was so talk about it, back when the iPhone 4 was suffering from the good ol' AntennaGate debacle!
So, what's so new about Apple's latest redesign of something that most phone manufacturers never even talk about at all?
As expected, one of the stars of Apple's iPhone event yesterday was its new Siri feature. The project, which the rumor mill dubbed Assistant, materialized on stage as a digital personal assistant for future iPhone users.
Even with its impressive demo yesterday, many folks have written Siri off as another failed attempt at a voice command feature. TUAW did some digging and found some evidence that it's much, much more than that...
Now that Sprint officially has the iPhone, the company confirmed today to All Things D that it will keep offering unlimited data plans when it starts selling the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, starting next week.
Although not sustainable in the long run, this move is aimed at standing up against AT&T and Verizon who both have stopped offering unlimited data plans a while ago...
Don't have time to watch the one and a half hour long iPhone 4S keynote? Don't worry, we've got you covered!
Cult of Mac released a short and sweet video that goes over the entire keynote in just about 90 seconds...
