iPhone’s US and UK Share Grows, Rest of Europe Turning to Android

A new report from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech today claims that the iPhone 4S is responsible for a growth in market share for Apple's iPhone in both the UK and US, with consumers rushing out to pick up Apple's latest tech.

The situation is not quite so rosy in some of Apple's other European markets, though, with some seeing a reduction in iPhone demand, rather than the usual increase.

It is better news Down Under, however, with Australia seeing strong iPhone demand and the 4S continuing to "fly off the shelf" as we close in on the end of 2011...

pod2g Enlists Chronic Dev Team’s Help to Expedite Untethered Jailbreaks

pod2g has handed over the keys to his iOS 5 untethered jailbreak for A4 devices (which includes the iPhone 4) to the Chronic Dev Team. In doing so, he hopes to focus primarily on the A5 jailbreak, which covers the iPhone 4S and iPad 2.

Apple's iMessage may be a fine SMS/MMS tool, but as we recently reported, it isn't without its problems.

For us non-fish owners, we've confirmed that a simple recalibration is usually all that's needed to fix most issues with the iPhone's Home button. Take a look at our video tutorial inside...

HTC Announces It’s Completed Patent Workaround

Apple received its first big win earlier this week in its ongoing patent war with Android manufacturers. The International Trade Commission ruled in favor of the iPhone-makers in its patent infringement lawsuit against HTC.

The ITC's decision was expected to have major ramifications for the Taiwanese company because it banned several products from the United States. But as it turns out, HTC may not lose much business (if any at all) due to the ruling...

Siri Wish List: 5 Features We’d Like to See

Reviews of Siri have been fairly inconsistant over the last few months. Some folks are in love with the feature, and others can't stand it. But if there's one thing everyone can agree on, it's that it has massive potential.

Sure, Apple's digital assistant is currently extremely limited — it's still in beta. Remember, Siri is crowd-sourced. It is constantly learning. So it wouldn't surprise us if Apple added functionality to Siri in the not-so-distant future.

With Christmas just a few days away, we figured it would be only fitting to create a wish list of 5 things we'd like to see Apple add to Siri next year...
