If reports are right, Apple has told its suppliers to assemble fewer iPhone 4's ahead of a next model launch, allegedly planned for this fall. iPad orders, on the other hand, remain strong.
While some of the furore over dropped calls with an iPhone on AT&T seems to have calmed down somewhat over the last few months, it's fact that some, perhaps even many people still suffer from a flakey AT&T signal causing their iPhones to drop calls at an alarming rate. According to the carrier though, there's a relatively easy fix.
When Apple launched the iPhone 4 handset, we all marveled at its sleek lines and glass and metal construction. A whole 12 months down the line and we're still hard pushed to think of a better looking smartphone, and in a world which includes the likes of Samsung Galaxy S II, that's saying something.
Apple's iPhone 4 is pretty much accepted by all to be the best smartphone when it comes to industrial design. Say what you want about Apple's closed ecosystem, iOS and relationship with developers but you can't knock that beautiful handset.
With a software-only WWDC behind us, rumors of next-generation iPhone hardware are back at full speed. According to a credible source, the next iPhone has reached final testing stages, which suggests that a release might be imminent.
One thing US iPhone users have always wanted to do has been unlocking their phones, especially since unlocked phones have been available in other countries for a while. If a Twitter source is to be believed, the wait will soon be over, as US Apple Stores might be getting unlocked iPhone 4's in just 3 days.
Chances are you were glued to the various live blogs of yesterday's WWDC keynote just as we were, watching and waiting for what new hotness his Steveliness would bestow upon us. While we got oodles and oodles of new toys and features, there was a section of the Apple community sat patiently waiting to see if their older devices would get to join in all the fun. Well, it turns out 3GS, owners and above will get almost everything iPhone 4 owners get. But, NOT everything.
Rumors on a Japanese site suggest that a future iPhone model, allegedly called the iPhone 4S, is shipping sometime between late July and early August and will be a smaller step up from the currently available iPhone 4.
All the Android buzz these days is about Samsung's latest wonder-phone, the Galaxy S II, but according to reports the South Korean's original Galaxy S is stealing the show in Japan.
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?
