In addition to discovering aluminum is softer than glass, some iPhone 5 users are now reporting issues with light leaks. It's unclear whether this is a minor manufacturing issue affecting a small portion of users or a widespread problem. People may not even be aware that their device is leaking light as this becomes apparent only in low-light situations and for many it's not even a biggie. Did you spot light leaking out of your iPhone 5?
CoolBrands, an annual initiative to identify the UK's coolest brands annually since 2001, has published the official results for the calendar year 2012. Based on responses from 3,000 consumers and a panel of 39 experts, Apple was voted UK's number one brand. In fact, the Apple brand beat second-ranked YouTube, Aston Martin (#3), Twitter (#4) and Google (#5). Last year, the iPhone and iPod brands were ranked second and third, respectively, as Aston Martin took the leading spot...
You may have heard that the "boring" iPhone 5 sold five million units during its first weekend on availability in nine major markets. Apple also announced that a hundred million iOS devices are now running iOS 6. But even as Apple notes that "we sold out of our initial supply" of iPhones while promising to "regularly" stock retail stores, first-weekend sales came in below the six million units estimated by analyst Gene Munster (ten million was his best case scenario). As a result, Apple's shares are down two percent in pre-market trading, perhaps indicating that Wall Street was expecting Cook & Co. to perform slightly better...
Apple has announced that it sold a record-breaking 5 million iPhone 5s during its three day launch weekend, besting its previous record set by the iPhone 4S last year by more than a million.
The numbers shouldn't surprise anyone, considering the amount of demand we've seen for the device thus far. Apple said last week that it sold more than 2 million units in its first 24 hours...
Apple's new Maps application, which replaces Google Maps in iOS 6, has caused quite a stir in the tech community over the past few days. It's been described as "inaccurate," and "glitchy," and many feel that it's extremely inferior to its predecessor.
But the good news is, there may be light at the end of the tunnel. At least for jailbreakers anyway. Well-known jailbreak developer Ryan Petrich announced earlier today the he was able to get Google Maps working on iOS 6. And here's the video...
If you pre-ordered your iPhone 5, either through Apple or your wireless provider, and didn't get it in within the first hour or so, chances are you haven't received the handset yet. Shipping estimates slipped to two weeks shortly after retailers began taking pre-orders last Friday.
But good news today for those of you that fall into that category. It appears that Apple has started shipping many "late" iPhone 5 pre-orders earlier than expected...

One of the most noticeable and talked about features of the iPhone 5 is its new display. For the first time, Apple has made the handset's screen larger, bumping it up to right around 4-inches.
But in order to maintain usability, Apple only increased the height of the display, not the width. And this has spawned some criticism from the tech world, as well as this hilarious parody...
The iPhone 5 launched yesterday, and first impressions seem to be in line with the early reviews: the thing is fast. As most of you know, Apple custom-built an all-new processor for the handset called the A6.
Now that the phone is available, we expect to learn more about the new chip as teardown experts continue to rip the device apart. In fact, a new tidbit has already surfaced: the A6 has triple-core graphics...
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...
