T-Mobile Now Selling Micro SIM Cards for iPhone 4

Rumors are that Apple will come out with an iPhone capable of running on T-Mobile's 3G/4G network, and today T-Mobile took the first steps in the Apple/T-Mobile partnership. T-Mobile is now giving free Micro SIM cards to its customers.

This news comes after T-Mobile announced they have over one million unlocked iPhones on their network. It has been over a month since Apple started selling unlocked iPhone 4s in the US that work on T-Mobile's EDGE network.

iPhone 4 Falls 13,500 Feet and Lives to Tell the Tale

Apple's iPhone 4 isn't really known for being a sturdy device. Handsets have been known to almost explode upon impact with the ground, even when dropped from a modest height. With that in mind, we're surprised to hear that one particular iPhone 4 managed to survive a fall of 13,500ft from the pocket of its skydiving owner.

Now granted, it's not going to win any awards for aesthetics since its plunge, but amazingly, the handset can still make and receive telephone calls...

That Second iPhone Coming This Fall Could Actually Be the iPhone 3GS

Now I'm as tired of these next-gen iPhone rumors as the next person, but when industry-insider Jonathan Geller says he's received iPhone information from a "solid source," it's hard to ignore it. Geller's site, Boy Genius Report, has been home to several Apple exclusives in the past.

His latest report confirms that Apple will indeed be launching two different versions of the iPhone this Fall. One iPhone 4S/5 model will replace the current iPhone 4, and there will also be a cheaper model for the low-end and prepaid markets...

Apple Patent Describes the Future of iPhone Journalism

A recent Apple patent has been uncovered that outlines possible features in iOS that are made specifically for the aspiring journalist. If you're at all familiar with CNN's "iReport" idea for civilian journalism, then you'll get the main gist of this patent.

What if the iPhone could automatically switch between the front and rear facing camera during an interview over FaceTime? "Report" and "Interview" are two proposed iOS features that detail this experience...

Check Out This Awesome Guitar Video Taken With the iPhone 4

We're all quite aware of how amazing our iPhones are, but they still continue to surprise us every now and again. One guitarist has posted a mesmerising video on YouTube in which he demonstrates how the iPhone 4 captures guitar strings as they are strummed.

The video isn't a true representation of the way in which guitar strings actually oscillate; instead, it's a fascinating example of how the effects that can sometimes be achieved with the iPhone 4's rolling shutter...

Apple Buys iPhone4.com and WhiteiPhone.com Domain Names

Interesting news for those who like to keep tabs on domain names - a noble cause indeed - with reports that Apple is now the proud owner of two new URLs.

According to Fusible, and in turn TechCrunch, both iPhone4.com and WhiteiPhone.com are now owned by the Cupertino web masters, with the two addresses already pointing to Apple's iPhone 4 product page...

Apple’s Two New iPhone Ads: FaceTime and AirPlay

In an attempt to get even more iPhone 4s shipped out the door before the supposed iPhone 5/4S release later this year, Apple has released two new ads, showing off two of the handset's marquee features.

Apple's iconic iPhone ads are no doubt on a par with the much-loved 'Get a Mac' ads, and the two new additions follow the same theme....

Record Video Instantly From Your iPhone’s Home Screen with Capture

With Apple's iPhone 4 possessing one of the best cameras for recording HD video around, it's understandable that we all want to get as much use out of it as possible.

The only problem with the iOS Camera app is it's just so slow to access. Add in the time taken to tap the icon for changing from still to camera mode, and chances are you've just missed whatever it was you wanted to film in the first place.

Capture is an App Store app that offers a much quicker way to record video on the iPhone, without the need to sit and wait for Apple's own app to go through the motions...

iPhone Charging Cable Bursts Into Flames, iOS 5 to Blame?

Running a beta release of iOS on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch comes with a very specific set of possible problems, ranging from poor battery life, to potential software conflicts, to things just plain not working.

One possible issue that we've not really considered before is the chance of an iPhone actually settings itself on fire. And that's apparently what's happened to one iOS developer's handset.

Or, his charging cord, at least....

iPhone 4 Launched into Space

Today the space shuttle Atlantis lifted off for the last time, but its last mission is going to be remembered by Apple enthusiasts for something else as well. Captain Chris Ferguson and his crew are carrying with them two iPhone 4s. These iPhones run a special app called “SpaceLab for iOS” especially designed for this occasion by Odyssey Space Research, an engineering Houston-based company.

Through this app, astronauts are going to perform several experiments by taking advantage of the iPhone cameras, gyroscope and sensors. One of these experiments is actually quite interesting: it’s a test to see if the iPhone’s memory can be affected by space radiations."If a smartphone can be proved to work in space,” says Chris Bridges, researcher for Odyssey Space Research, “it opens up lots of new technologies to a multitude of people and companies for space who usually can't afford it."

Apple Reportedly Testing Next iPhone Model in iPhone 4 Enclosure

With rumors of an 'iPhone 4S' device heating up, it's also developed into a general consensus that Apple will release not one, but two iPhone models in the coming months.

One of these devices is expected to be an incremental design and hardware upgrade from the iPhone 4, and feature an edge-to-edge screen with a slimmer and lighter overall build. Apple is reportedly testing this next gen iPhone model in iPhone 4 enclosures for secrecy, in the same way that the company tested the iPhone 4 in a 3GS casing...
