iTunes in the Cloud Launching Internationally Right Now

Oliver Haslam ∙ October 12, 2011

Back when Apple first announced iCloud, and the subsequent beta, one of the new features to make the biggest splash was iTunes in the Cloud. Up until that point, if an iTunes customer bought a song and deleted it they were stuck with no option but to either call Apple support and try to sweet talk them into issuing a refund or replacement track, or to simply stump up the cash all over again.

With iTunes in the Cloud, that was no-longer the case.  Now, a new Purchased section in iTunes lists all bought music as well as apps and books, and the world is a better place for it.

Unfortunately, while books and apps found their way outside the US, music did not. Until now...

Travelers Will Want to Consider the iPhone 4S on Verizon or Sprint [Updated]

Oliver Haslam ∙ October 12, 2011

We already knew that the iPhone 4S was going to be the first world phone to come out of the Apple labs, and that meant that both GSM and CDMA handset flavors would roam on the networks of international carriers. This was good news, meaning that customers of both Verizon and Sprint could now take their handsets abroad and continue to use them.

Now, there's even better news for those customers, with Macworld discovering that they might actually have an advantage over AT&T (and all other GSM carriers across the planet), thanks to the unlocked SIM slot on the CDMA iPhone 4S...

Not Having LTE Lets iPhone Users Browse the Web Up to 5 Hours Longer

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

Rumors of an LTE-capable iPhone didn't materialize at Apple's event last week, adding fuel to the fire for the company's critics. After all, there are dozens of Android handsets available that support next-generation technologies like LTE and WiMax.

But Apple chose to skip on LTE this time around for several reasons. The technology, in its opinion, just wasn't ready. Perhaps there's no better proof of that than AnandTech's new infographic that shows what LTE does to a smartphone's battery life...

The iPhone 4 Was Verizon and AT&T’s Top Handset Last Month

Cody Lee ∙ October 11, 2011

You would think that with an iPhone refresh on the horizon, sales for last year's model would start to decline. Why would you buy an outdated handset, when you knew that a new one would be announced soon for the same price?

Apparently not everyone followed the iPhone rumors, or if they did, they just didn't care. Because according to BGR, the iPhone 4 was still the top-selling smartphone for both Verizon and AT&T during the month of September...

T-Mobile Extends Its Reach to iOS

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated February 19, 2018

T-Mobile may have not got in on the iPhone 4S action as many had predicted, but that hasn't stopped the carrier from reaching for a little bit of the iOS pie with its Bobsled app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Android phones also get in on the fun.

Bobsled is T-Mobile's VoIP service that lets users make phone calls over the internet (much like Skype). While Bobsled was originally a Facebook app, now it's creeping out into the world of the App Store and beyond...

Your iPhone 4 Case May Not Fit Your iPhone 4S After All

Oliver Haslam ∙ October 10, 2011

One of the disappointments many people felt when Apple announced the iPhone 4S was the lack of a redesigned chassis. After so many rumors of a new design, many were unhappy that Apple had decided to stick with the iPhone 4 design we're all familiar with.

We all consoled ourselves with the fact that our existing iPhone 4 accessories and cases would fit the new iPhone 4S, but it seems that might not be the case (if you'll pardon the pun!) after all...

First Photo Taken With iPhone 4S Surfaces, Looks Incredible

Cody Lee ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

When Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S last week, it was pretty clear that they were proud of the handset's new camera. Not only did engineers tack on 3 megapixels, but they also tweaked the optics system and widened the camera's F stop.

While we've seen the amazing sample photos that Apple posted on its website, we've yet to see how the camera will perform out in the real world. Until now. TUAW has come across the first photo taken with an iPhone 4S, outside of Cupertino...
