Steve Jobs and Phil Schiller Discuss White iPhone 4 Delays

Jeff Benjamin ∙ April 27, 2011

The white iPhone 4 is all the rage right now, and rightfully so. Its numerous delays are the type of things that legends are made of.

Now that the white iPhone will be here tomorrow, Apple CEO Steve Jobs and SVP Phil Schiller have opened up about the challenges Apple faced while trying to bring the white iPhone 4 to market.

Apple has created a two-toned version of the iPhone before -- see the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS -- but little did they know that they were venturing into new territory with an all white iPhone 4...

Alex Heath ∙ Updated May 26, 2017

Apple has decided to officially respond to the iPhone's location database issue that has been undergoing intense scrutiny by the media and industry experts. In a Q&A response, Apple has addressed why the iPhone logs your location, and what Apple does with that information.

An alleged email from Steve Jobs answered this issue already with a simple response: "We don't track anyone." That's the message that Apple is confirming with this Q&A response...

Steve Jobs: Apple Doesn’t Track iPhone Users

Alex Heath ∙ April 25, 2011

The media has been firing on all cylinders about the public uncovering of the iPhone's shady location database file. Speculation has been that Apple and/or network carriers are intentionally tracking the coordinates of iPhone users through the device's Location Services.

Experts on the issue have deemed the location database non-threatening, legal, and most likely a simple mistake on Apple's end. If you want anymore clarification, Steve Jobs himself has shed some light on this issue, calling it "false."

Steve Jobs Authorized Biography Will Release in Early 2012

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 18, 2016

iSteve: The Book of Jobs is an upcoming biography of perhaps one of the most eccentric figures to ever come along in the technology sphere.

Sure, there have been plenty of behind the scenes biographies in the past -- some of the good, and some of them utter rubbish -- but this is an authorized biography of a man that's known for enjoying his privacy.

What convinced Jobs to go through with the book deal? It probably has a lot to do with the man who is penning the words on paper, Walter Isaacson...

Today is Apple’s 35th Birthday!

Alex Heath ∙ April 1, 2011

Today marks Apple Inc's 35th birthday! On April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne formed Apple Computers. The company was formed so that Steve Wozniak could sell his hand-built Apple I personal computer kits.

It's hard to believe that the technology juggernaut now known as Apple Inc. was once operated out of a garage. Who would have known that, 35 years later, Apple would be second to only Exxon Mobil in market value...

Steve Jobs Named Best CEO Once Again

Cody Lee ∙ March 28, 2011

There are very few men in our country, better yet the world, that have the kind of following Steve Jobs has. I'm not talking about paparazzi or Twitter faithful, I'm talking about Apple fans. Fascination with Apple's innovations and the man behind them reaches far beyond the tech world these days.

Everyone from Wall Street to blog dwellers are constantly looking to see what the Cupertino CEO will come up with next. He has been elevated to a Willy Wonka-type status. We all wait for the day that we see smoke coming from his top secret factory and hope that he appears in his signature black turtle neck to show off his latest invention...

Back to the Future: Apple Reinvents the Phone

Sébastien Page ∙ March 21, 2011

I was browsing the web earlier today when I came across the video of Steve Jobs announcing the first iPhone back in January 2007. I remember that day as if it was yesterday. I remember how I instantly fell in love with the iPhone as it was everything I ever wanted in a phone.

Fast-forward four years later and I can say that the iPhone has changed my life, literally. Not only the iPhone has allowed me to change the way I communicate and stay connected, but the iPhone has also allowed me to quit my job and make a living blogging about this revolutionary device...

Steve Jobs Sends Out Letter of Encouragement to Japanese Apple Staff

Jeff Benjamin ∙ March 17, 2011

In an email that was reportedly sent out to all Apple employees, Steve Jobs and the rest of the Apple executive team took some time out from their day-to-day activities to acknowledge the pain and suffering in Japan due to the earthquake and tsunami disasters.

According to the email, Apple will supply the needed resources and supplies at employee request, and will arrange delivery; though obviously in the area's current state, logistics could prove to be an issue.

Apple has also delayed the iPad 2's Japanese launch in light of the recent events. To read the entire email from Steve and the rest of the executive team, take a look inside...
