Horns. They're underrated little things, aren't they? Design firm en&is clearly agrees, which is why it has come up with the MegaPhone, a horn-type affair which promises to improve the clarity and volume of whatever is coming out of your iPhone's speakers.
Yes, we're serious...
A few weeks ago, we told you that the infamous iPhone 4 prototype case was coming to an end. The two guys that took part in snagging the lost device, and eventually sold it to Gizmodo, are getting their comeuppance.
The two men are facing non-felony charges, with an arraignment set for the end of the week. Although Gizmodo, and their parent company Gawker Media, aren't involved in the criminal case, the firm has a lot riding on it...
A new report from Reuters states that Apple is planning a cheaper 8GB version of the iPhone 4 to unveil alongside an iPhone 5 flagship device at the end of September. The iPhone 5 will look "largely identical" to the updated iPhone 4, but it will have a larger screen, better antenna and 8 megapixel camera.
Previous rumors were that Apple wouldn't launch a new iPhone until early October, with a possible announcement at the end of September. There have been whispers of two new iPhone models coming this Fall, and this "cheaper" 8GB iPhone 4 will clearly be targeted towards the cheaper mobile market.
TechCrunch's Robin Wauters reports what we have been assuming for quite some time now: the iPhone 5 will be a global world phone, by essentially enabling you to roam on any network worldwide.
The report lists the mounting evidence, which backs up this earlier claim by Verizon CFO Fran Shammo, that the next iPhone would indeed have the ability to roam globally.
This is very good news for travelers, who won't have to worry about the hassle of no coverage in areas where only one type of service (CDMA or GSM) is available...
With all of the statistics flying about regarding Android and Apple handset sales, it's extremely easy to get confused. Sometimes you hear that iPhones are topping the charts, and other times you see that Android is "leading the market."
MacRumors points to a survey done by the NPD research firm that might just help clear the air. Their quarterly Mobile Phone Track report gives some serious insight into who is the top-dog in the mobile industry...
I know it's not quite Full HD, but the iPhone 4 still captures decent video. In fact, as long as the lighting is decent and the subjects you're recording aren't frantically moving about, the device can churn out some pretty impressive footage.
However, without a tripod or a mount, there's a good chance that your videos will come out shaky. The iPhone doesn't come with an image stabilizer, so unless you have the steady hands of a trained sniper, you're out of luck. Enter the Stedicam Smoothee...
We love taking photos with our iPhones here at iDB. Like just about everyone else, we're already addicted to photo-sharing apps like Instagram and Photovine.
Even though iOS 5 will bring the ability to take photos using the iPhone's volume up button, we're still of the age where we remember the good old polaroids with their huge shutter button, and we have to admit, we do miss it.
There's just something about a big mechanical button for setting free the magic that is a photograph, and that's where the makers of POPA agree with us...
As we've known for several months now, Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 5 this Fall. More recently, we've heard rumors of a late September pre-order opening, which places the announcement earlier in the month.
With a new iPhone set to be unveiled in a matter of weeks, expect its predecessor to receive some major discounting. Originally offered for $199, we've seen the 16GB iPhone 4 go for as low as $147.
Now we are hearing that multiple Canadian carriers are offering the device for just $99...
Apple's iPhone 4 has only been on sale on Verizon for around 6 months, but it's already stealing Android's lunch money, according to new stats from Chitika Insights this week.
The drop in Android sales since the iPhone 4 landed on Verizon's doorstep sees Google's mobile OS share dropping from 51.4% to 41.1% ...
It's no secret that the government is working on upgrading its handheld communications gear. Back in May, we reported on a Washington Post article that claimed that government officials were ditching their aging BlackBerry devices for ones powered by iOS.
Above is evidence that the government's 2.0 movement is already in full swing, as the President and Vice President are spotted using an iPhone 4 in the Outer Oval Office of the White House...
In a recent report by AppleInsider, in China, Apple is being accused of selling refurbished iPhones as new. This all started when six customers complained that even though their iPhone was new, the warranty expiration date was showing January 2012...
There seems to be one thing that folks can agree on that Apple does exceptionally well: product design. Dating back to the original iMac, Apple products have exuded a gorgeous styling that is instantly identifiable.
Not only have Apple's creations inspired the competition, they've also seemed to invigorate furniture-makers. And while we've seen iPhone 4-influenced tables before, we've never seen anything like the iTableous...
