As soon as Apple announced October 14th as the release date for the new iPhone 4S on AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint, potential buyers began wondering which carrier would be the right option.
Now that AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint all offering the iPhone, everyone is looking at the pros and cons of each carrier. With that in mind, Macworld has put together a comprehensive comparison of the choices for new iPhone owners on all three US carriers...
The iPhone 4S, which Apple introduced earlier this week, includes several improvements over its predecessor. It sports a faster processor, an all-new operating system, and what is likely to become a class-leading 8MP camera.
One addition that Apple has been fairly quiet about, however, is the handset's support for Bluetooth 4.0. In fact, as several sites have pointed out, the iPhone 4S is the first smartphone to support the new technology...
The iPhone 4S has seen staggering customer demand in its first 24 hours of presale. Online preorder pages are already showing shipping dates 1-3 weeks out for Apple's latest handset, depending on which model you're after.
If you're looking to snag a 16GB iPhone 4S in the near future, carriers are suggesting that you visit your local retail store on October 14. But you might want to get there early, as it looks like people are already starting to line up...
Early yesterday morning, Apple and its carrier partners around the world started taking preorders for the iPhone 4S. The Cupertino company unveiled the smartphone last week to mixed reactions from pundits and fans.
But the fact that Apple didn't change the handset's outward appearance doesn't seem to have derailed customers from snatching up the device. The iPhone 4S appears to be selling as fast, if not faster, than its predecessors...
Hot on the heels of AT&T's announcement earlier today that it has been seeing enormous demand for the iPhone 4S, Apple itself now seems to be feeling the pressure.
Earlier today we reported that the Cupertino company was forced to push back international shipping dates for the iPhone 4S, and now the delay has spilled over into the US...
MacRumors points to a report from Reuters citing that AT&T is seeing extraordinary demand for Apple's new smartphone. As most of you know, Apple opened up iPhone 4S preorders just after midnight (PST) last night.
The company has been met with a lot of criticism over its latest handset, which it unveiled last Tuesday. But that doesn't seem to have affected consumer demand for the device. AT&T believes that they've already sold 200,000 of them...
While iPhone 4S pre-orders in the US seem to be working just fine, international demand for the 4S has caused Apple to push back the shipping estimate for the 4S to 1-2 weeks. Instead of the assured delivery date on October 14th that Apple originally promised, shipping estimates for the 4S have slipped to a more uncertain delivery date for international customers.
Apple stores in countries like Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Australia have all had shipping dates pushed back already. The iPhone 4S became available for pre-order after 12AM this morning...
What is 4G? Other than the fact that it's the wireless standard that comes after 3G, I'm not sure that a lot of people outside of the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) know the answer. It's supposed to be a lot faster, right?
For months, both AT&T and T-Mobile have been taking advantage of this grey area surrounding the marketing buzz term, touting their HSPA+ networks as "4G." Now it appears that Apple is going to be hopping on the bandwagon...
The guys that brought us the banned iPhone 4 promo videos are back at it! They're even funnier than last year. I can't get enough of these videos.
My favorite part starts at about 35 seconds in, when the drunk VP of Siri talks about the assistant who "listens to you, and understands you, and doesn't judge you, it doesn't f***ng nag you about why you're so late coming home from work"...
Following the news earlier that the iPhone 4S won't be available as an unlocked device until November, it's also worth noting that only customers on GSM carriers will be able to unlock the 4S.
Apple touted the iPhone 4S as a "world phone" capable of running on both GSM and CDMA networks, but as usual there seems to be more involved when it comes to the fine print. Unfortunately, an unlocked iPhone 4S will only work on GSM networks...
Before Apple's iPhone 4S announcement this week, there were more than a few rumors going around that the next iPhone would be a radical redesign of the device. A new, tapered body was to be the main, eye-catching alteration to the form factor that has served Apple so well over the last year or so.
As we all know, that didn't happen. Instead, Apple launched the iPhone 4S, a slight speed-bump to the existing iPhone 4, with a new camera thrown in for good measure. Yes, Siri adds that little bit of sparkle to an otherwise dull release, but let's be frank, this is no iPhone 5.
So what about that tapered design we heard so much about? Well, we may still see it, even if that won't be until this time next year...
When Apple announced the iPhone 4S on Tuesday, there was no mention of just how much RAM the new handset was packing. This didn't seem too odd at the time, after all, Apple doesn't usually for the Android approach of listing specifications in a hope to garner sales.
What is interesting is the revelation from Chair Entertainment’s creative director Donald Mustard, who claims that the iPhone 4S only sports 512MB of RAM, not the presumed 1GB...
