Apple has a knack for supporting one-generation-old devices, mainly because they focus more on the end user-experience rather than forcing people to go for new hardware, which by the way is, not entirely true. Sticking true to their laurels, Apple has - moments ago - silently pushed out a small update for the GSM version of iPhone 4 only.
Whenever we talk about the jailbreaking of Apple devices, we're invariably referring to the portable iOS gadgets, i.e. the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. However, Apple TV - the Cupertino company's little black box of streaming media - can also be jailbroken, and Seas0nPass has now been updated to offer an untethered jailbreak on the latest firmware.
Apple and Samsung have been at each other's throats for a good couple of years now, and the ill-feeling stems - for the most part - from Apple's firm belief that it's Korean rival has been plagiarizing its designs and passing them off as their own.
Jony Ive, or Sir Jony Ive as he is known in his native United Kingdom, is widely regarded as the man behind some of Apple's most iconic designs. Once described by Steve Jobs as the man with the most power and influence within the fruit company besides himself, he is responsible for the look of everything from the MacBook air to the market-defining iPad.
Rumors are just that, rumors, and the iPhone 5 is currently in the middle of more than its fair share. It is par for the course for any big Apple hardware release, but the rumor mill seems to only intensify as each year goes by. The latest to be bandied around is the suggestion that the next iPhone will be the first to feature a new screen, with not just more pixels but more inches, too.
Like any great and successful businessman or leader who presides over an amazingly successful company, Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs had the right amount of charisma, intelligence, business acumen, leadership and ruthlessness to succeed at the highest level. With Apple currently riding on a huge high and having some of the most popular consumer electronic products the world has ever seen, his success speaks for itself, so does his legacy.
All the talk right now is of the next iPhone. There have been rumors about everything from whether the new handset will sport a 4G radio, to how large the screen will be this time around.
The latest leg in the long running, never ending and exceedingly tiresome legal battle between Apple and Samsung sees the Cupertino firm once again seeking an injunction against the Korean firm's Galaxy Tab slate.
Remember when Apple first introduced the FaceTime video calling service in 2010, causing quite a big stir? Video calling on a mobile device wasn't anything new or revolutionary, after all, one of the core services when networks started pushing out UMTS connectivity was the ability to make device-to-device video calls. As usual, Apple somehow managed to make this feature seem exclusive to iOS devices and was made even more palatable to users due to the fact that it was free over a wireless connection.
Although Apple's iPhone remains one of the most popular and sought-after devices on the market, the news earlier this month of Samsung taking its crown as the number one smartphone manufacturer will have sent alarm bells ringing. To make matters worse, it has now been revealed that Microsoft's Windows Phone has overtaken the fruit company's iPhone in terms of market share in China - the largest market in the world.
