Yesterday, we reported on Fei Lam, the teenager who got sued by Apple for owning a website that sold white iPhone 4 parts. In light of the lawsuit, Fast Company was able to interview him via, weirdly enough, instant messaging. While he was shy the whole time, and refused to comment on many aspects of his lawsuit and his net worth, I think the interview did show what it must be like to be in the guy's shoes.
Just weeks before WWDC, Apple's yearly developer conference begins, we've been hearing more rumors than ever about what could possibly be unveiled. According to sources, we'll see iOS 5, with a complete rework of the existing iOS notification system, as well as widgets.
One of the factors that points to an imminent release of a product is when ads for it are being made. An alleged post on Craigslist regarding a cast call for an "iPhone 5" ad was posted and pulled within two hours, but thankfully still indexed by a few search engines and screen captured by some users. Is a new iPhone imminent?
This past Novemeber, when we saw a 17-year-old selling white iPhone parts months before the white iPhone was available to the general public, we thought "Uh oh, Apple's lawyers are probably on to this.". After 7 inexplicably long months, they're filing a lawsuit against the kid and his parents, along with an offer to drop the lawsuit if no further infractions occur. Why is Apple so generous?
There are many ways to extend the iPhone's camera feature, but there hasn't been a good accessory to take panoramic video. Thankfully, Dot, a Kickstarter project has managed to raise enough funding and will start shipping this summer.
In an Apple support document the company says it intends to release a security update to address the potential threat from malware claiming to offer a security application for download.
Oh Apple, how do you keep getting yourself into these messes? Remember the seemingly never-ending palaver that was Antennagate? That's right, the one that got so out of hand Apple saw fit to hold a special press event and then give away millions of rubber bands iPhone bumpers? Well, if reports coming out of AppAdvice is to be believed, then the Cupertino peeps could be in for another tough ride with people beginning to complain of Wi-Fi connectivity issues when iPad 2s are held just so.
iPhone 3GS users should be disappointed, since, according to a tweet by a popular and well respected Russian tech analyst Eldar Murtazin, who's broken stories in the past, the 2009 device, iPhone 3GS, won't be getting iOS 5.
Apple has reached yet another milestone in its meteoric rise to mobile phone and application daddy, with the number of apps accepted into its App Store reaching the half million number.
Rumors of a future iPhone are definitely intensifying. Just over the last few months, a lot of information, including design aspects, have leaked out. That could only mean one thing: the next iPhone is months away from being unveiled. A leaked image by the Taiwanese website Apple.pro, allegedly depicting the back plate of a future iPhone, will only add to the excitement.
