With the release of Apple's new smartphone this Fall, a lot of consumers have found themselves looking for a new case. It's not that the handset's design changed drastically, but the re-positioning of its mute and volume buttons rendered many old cases useless.
If you're still in the market for a new iPhone case, TUAW has a good suggestion for you: the iPhone Wallet by Waterfield Designs. The accessory doubles as both an iPhone case and a wallet, leaving you with one less thing to carry...
Can't get enough of Siri? We've gathered several hidden tips and tricks for you to enjoy and learn from.

Those paying attention will no doubt remember the story about one unlucky fellow who received a visit from the police, along with a team of security personnel from Apple. Well, it turns out that the fallout from that visit isn't yet over, with Apple losing its Vice President of Global Security over the matter.
Apple allegedly lost yet another iPhone prototype recently, and using the power of Find My iPhone they decided it was in the possession of a Bernal Heights resident. Apple and the San Francisco Police then rolled up to the guy's house and asked for it back. Apple's security team even offered to buy it back, but alas, the man in question didn't have it...
FierceWireless is reporting that Mary Dillon, the CEO of US Cellular, told investors this morning that the nation's 6th largest wireless carrier was recently given the chance to carry Apple's hit smartphone. And the strange thing is, they turned it down.
With companies like T-Mobile chomping at the bit to carry the iPhone, it's interesting that US Cellular passed on the opportunity. Especially since other CEOs, like Sprint's Dan Hesse, see the handset as the number one reason why folks switch to other carriers...
AT&T has leaked its estimation for when the T-Mobile merger will close in a recent filing with the USÂ Securities and Exchange Commission. Spotted by Electronista, the filing says that AT&T expects the merger to take place in the "first half" of 2012.
Several organizations, including the US Justice Department, have kept AT&T and T-Mobile battling with the courts since AT&T announced the acquisition back in March. If all goes according to plan, T-Mobile will be owned by AT&T before Spring of next year...
We've been hearing about the infamous iControlPad for nearly three years now. We first reported on the accessory back in 2008, when it was still in early stages of production. Then we didn't hear a peep about the product until the Summer of this year.
The iControlPad was soft-launched back in July, but it still had some major hurdles to overcome. The inventors didn't have any major distribution partners, and third party compatibility was non-existent. But that has all changed with ThinkGeek's support...
It's no secret that I'm pretty pumped about Amazon's Kindle Fire. While I know that may seem disgraceful to say on iDownloadBlog, I have to admit that the Fire looks sort of compelling.
The Kindle Fire is obviously no match for the iPad, but it isn't trying to compete with the iPad — that's why I think it'll succeed. Now that the formalities are out of the way, let's talk about Kindle Fire for iPhone — a DreamBoard theme that make your iPhone look similar to Amazon's upcoming foray into the world of tablets...
Apple's iPhone accounts for 52% of the overall profits for the entire mobile phone industry, according to a new report by Cannacord Genuity analyst T. Michael Walkley. The iPhone consisted of more than half of the industry's profits in the last business quarter.
The iPhone 4S is expected to push Apple's share of the mobile industry's profits to 60% in the final quarter of 2011. According to the report, the iPhone 4S was the best-selling handset on Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint for the month of October.
It seems we just can't get enough of those Angry Birds, with developer Rovio announcing that the game has been downloaded a whopping 500 million times worldwide.
The half a billion downloads are made up of the three Angry Birds games currently available: Angry Birds, Angry Birds Rio, and Angry Birds Seasons.
Key to the game's success is its cross-platform nature, with Angry Birds available to download on most platforms you could care to name, with iOS, Android, web, Mac, and Windows all present, and versions also set to come to the Nokia Asha 300 and 303 phones...
Android phones have been proven to break, malfunction, and require more repair costs than iPhones and even Blackberries.
The cheapness of most Android handsets is costing the telecoms a staggering $2 billion per year, according to a report from wireless services firm WDS...
Apple has been highly criticized for the glass panels it uses on the front and back of its smartphone. The design was introduced in 2010 with the iPhone 4, and has obviously stuck around with the unchanged iPhone 4S.
The glass casing means that the handset isn't very durable. Luckily, cases can help protect it from drops and other accidents. In fact, Case-Mate makes one that will protect the iPhone from being run over by a large SUV...
Apple has been struggling over the past few weeks with software issues. The recent iOS 5 update was found to be littered with problems, including the now infamous battery bug. And then there is the delayed iTunes Match launch.
But none of that compares to the latest fiasco. VentureBeat is reporting that Siri has gone down across the US for a number of iPhone 4S customers. Not only does that mean that Siri is inaccessible, but Dictation isn't working either...
