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.
We've lost count of the number of times seemingly crazy technology has found its way into everyday hardware years down the line. Come to think of it, there have been some whacky hardware prototypes that have turned into must-have technology - just imagine what a Tablet PC owner would think if you could have put an iPad in front of them way back in the mid 1990s. Technology changes and often ends up making our lives better further down the line, and that's why we're so excited about the invisible iPhone concept we just spied over at Engadget.
Sources are suggesting that a next-generation iPhone, possibly the long-awaited iPhone 5, is getting a curved glass screen. This comes after Apple has reportedly purchased 200-300 glass cutting machines for use by suppliers, which will be used for production once further testing is completed. Could this mean a radical change in design is coming?
The iOS 4.3.x update has brought a fair amount of benefits, including an improved AirPlay featured, which allows users to stream content content from your iDevice to your Apple TV; and Personal Hotspot, allowing users to create a mobile hotspot they can use to connect other devices to the internet via the phone's network. Despite those enhancements, performance was heavily affected in some handsets. Thankfully, a topic at MacRumors has shined a light on how to fix this problem.
Last week, we reported that Apple Stores were gearing up for a major revamp: either a new product, or as it later became clear, a upgrade to the store itself. Indeed, today stores are re-opening around the world with a major difference: information cards have been replaced with iPads, so users can look up information on a product on the fly.
Hands up if you've ever restored your iDevice only to realize you hadn't saved your photos somewhere beforehand? Come on, hands all the way up. That means you at the back!
Speculation before the iPhone 4 was announced was that the handset would be available in both 32GB and 64GB models, but alas Apple settled on the 16GB and 32GB variations we have today. According to sources of former Engadgeteer Chris Ziegler though, we could be in for a higher capacity model after all.
Your next iPhone could feature a number of new sensors for working out your location, temperature and even mood according to an interview with Benedetto Vigna.
At about 7 PM local time, an explosion at a Foxconn factory killed 2 people and injured 12, 3 of those seriously. The building is located in Chengdu, a high-tech region in the South of China, and is known for manufacturing iPads. The explosion was first revealed to the world thanks to an amateur video. It's been reported that this incident might have been caused by fine powder used in the manufacturing process that somehow ignited.
