Apple has filed a patent for in-app purchases that, if granted, could be used against competitors like Google and Microsoft, Redmond Pie has learned.
Here's a little tidbit that we just discovered, and it's all about the size of the iPhone's screen. More specifically, it's all about why the iPhone's screen is still 3.5-inches across its diagonal, while most Android, and even Windows Phone 7 (ultimate special super duper series edition 7) handsets are sporting ever increasing screen dimensions.
As you will already be aware, unless you've been stuck under a rock for the last few months, iOS 5 is set to launch next week along with the iPhone 4S, and although we've looked at and covered many of the key features, there are still new ones being discovered all the time in what has been a rather turbulent week for all concerned with Apple.
Apple TV is considered by many to be the one iOS device which hasn't reached the dizzy heights of the likes of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, which is probably due to the product being launched as a mere hobby of Steve Jobs' in early 2007.
Yesterday, we reported that JailbreakMe.com had been sold to an unknown person and that Comex’s web-based jailbreaking tool would be transferred to a new Jailbreaks.me domain.

According to press statement from AT&T released earlier today, the iPhone 4S has seen more than 200,000 preorders within the first 12 hours of pre-orders going live. The news is accompanied by Apple officially selling out all pre-orders of the iPhone 4S.
We're kinda shocked at this, and we can't help but wonder if this is the first sign of change in the Tim Cook years, but Apple and AT&T are apparently in talks to change the 3G icon in the iPhone 4S' status bar to a 4G one.
Samsung / Google Delay Nexus Prime and Ice Cream Sandwich Launch Event Out Of Respect For Steve Jobs
According to a report published just now, Samsung and Google have decided to postpone their Nexus Prime / Android Ice Cream Sandwich event out of respect for the just-passed Apple co-founder and ex-CEO Steve Jobs.
If you're one of the many that have spent all morning sat hitting the refresh key in a pre-ordering frenzy, chances are you spied one seemingly glaring omission from Apple's online ordering system: there were no unlocked iPhone 4S handsets, at least in the U.S.
An all-new video has popped up on the internetz today which apparently shows the Google Nexus Prime with Android Ice Cream Sandwich running on top.
