Well, that's all folks. It's about 10pm PST here in the United States, meaning most retail stores are closed, or closing, and the long-awaited iPhone 5 launch day has finally come to an end.
A lot went on over the past 14 hours, as we saw everything from unboxings, to comparison tests, to jailbreaks. So in case you missed anything, we put together this wrap-up of today's events...
Now that the iPhone 5 launch has come and gone, it's time for Apple to start spreading the word about its new handset to the general public. And what better way to do that, then with new TV spots?
Four new TV ads have appeared on Apple's website tonight that highlight its latest smartphone and its features like a larger display, its new Panoramic camera mode, and its slimmer profile...
It's been a big day so far, but we're not finished yet. Continuing on with our iPhone 5 coverage, we've come across a new clip that compares the video quality of the new handset with its predecessor.
Now, since the 5 uses the same 8MP camera sensor as the 4S, you'd think that video quality would be the same. But just as we discovered with still photos, there is a noticeable difference between the two...
We knew ahead of the iPhone 5 keynote that iOS 6 would take advantage of extra pixels on the iPhone 5 (640-by-1136) in order to render an additional, fifth row of icons. What we didn't know (but kinda expected) back then was that the per-folder app limit in iOS 6 running on the iPhone 5 would be raised from twelve to sixteen apps.
Strangely enough, even though Forstall and Schiller made a passing mention of this improvement during the unveiling, Apple's iPhone/iOS pages and the official 155-page iPhone 5 User Guide never detail it.
Now, I'm sure there are better ways to take advantage of those 176 extra lines, but if you're managing the home screen madness by organizing apps into folders, you'll quickly learn to appreciate this little nice-to-have which helps reduce the home screen clutter on your device...
Human nature is generally tricky, sometimes odd and quite often hard to fathom. One of the more awesome ways of observing us mammals and our peculiar interest in valuable objects is the classic dollar-bill-on-a-string trick.
Surely you remember this one from your childhood: some joker attaches a string to the underside of a dollar bill and hides behind a corner. Then, when you reach down for it, the person yanks it away. But that's so last century.
A more contemporary take on that classic formula: stick an iPhone 5 to the pavement in one of Amsterdam’s busiest squares and watch what happens…
T-Mobile USA, the nation's fourth-largest carrier and the sole major U.S. telco without Apple's iPhone, announced at the GigaOm Mobilize conference that it will be rolling out its iPhone-compatible HSPA+ network in Las Vegas on Monday, September 24, 2012.
The carrier's HSPA+ network runs in the much more common 1900MHz spectrum, allowing unlocked iPhone owners to finally access the fastest 3G network in the country, T-Mobile's dual-carrier HSPA+...
Been wondering when you would be able to take your shiny new iPhone into a Starbucks and use Passbook to pay for your grande skinny vanilla latte? Well, wonder no more.
We've just spied a Twitter update from the company itself in which we learn that an iOS 6 compatible version of the app, complete with Passbook support, will be with us by the end of the month!
What's more, Starbucks even added a little bit of geekery to proceedings by signing off with a spot of binary code, just for the lolz...
There is nothing worse than having your property stolen, whether that be an iPhone, an iPad or anything else. Getting it back may not repair all the damage, but it certainly goes some way to helping.
If you went to New York's 5th Avenue flagship Apple Store, then you may have seen some of the cities finest, the NYPD, suggesting that new iPhone owners register their latest purchases with them. The reason? To help get hardware back to the rightful owners should the need arise.
In a day and age where Find My iPhone has already proven to be hugely popular in helping to retrieve stolen property, there's no reason not to add another string to your iPhone-retrieving bow...
Just hours after the iPhone 5 went on sale, electronics wizard have pry opened Apple's brand spanking new phone and analyzed its innards. It's now time for a drop test. As evident in a clip by iFixYouri, the iPhone 5 has significantly more scratch resistant front glass. Matter of fact, you could say that the iPhone 5 is one durable phone as it outperformed all other previous phones...
Today may be the big day for many awaiting Apple's iPhone 5, but buyers at one of UK carrier's O2 stores were left disappointed after £150,000 (around $240,000) worth of iPhone 5 were stolen before they could be handed out to eager purchasers.
The O2 store, located in London, had 252 brand new iPhone 5 handsets go missing around 1:30am, with the authorities hunting a man in connection with the theft.
A 23 year-old O2 worker is believed to be the man behind the disappearing iPhones, with cash from the store's safe also missing, according to reports...
Oh my! The iPhone 5 has officially gone on sale this morning at 8am in the United States and eight oversea markets and already U.S. carrier Sprint has burned through its initial allotment of devices. The company just reported it sold out of the iPhone 5 at many of its retail stores on East Coast, just hours after the device went on sale. The stores will remain "seriously constrained" until Sprint receives additional devices from Apple...
"Is that a scratch on your iPhone", a friend of mine asked, much to my horror and surprise. I'd only had this iPhone 3GS for a couple hours and already pesky scratches were beginning to show on its shiny plastic back. The glass back on my iPhone 4/4S has proved far less prone to wear and tear, perhaps partially due to past experiences which taught me to handle my pricey devices with utmost care.
You'd be pressed to think there was no difference in how black & slate and white & silver iPhone 5 models withstood wear and tear stemming from daily use. That said, you're in for a surprise as some folks apparently have discovered that both the anodized aluminum back and the chamfered edges of the black iPhone 5 are conspicuously more prone to wear versus its white counterpart...
