During Apple's iPhone event, possibly the most awe-inspiring demonstration was that of the new Siri feature which is built into iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S. Siri's features, which offer users the ability to almost have a conversation with the iPhone 4S, will be exclusive to Apple's new smartphone, with all current hardware left out in the cold.
Well, it's all go in the patent world again, with Samsung already throwing the toys out of the pram. The Korean giant is attempting to block sales of Apple's (very) recently announced iPhone 4S in both France and Italy.
With the announcement of the iPhone 4S, it was never going to be too long before the comparisons with other smartphones on the market began to surface. A comparison chart thrown up by ThisIsMyNext puts everything into perspective by comparing Apple's latest iPhone with its predecessor, along with Samsung's Galaxy S II.
One of Apple's key differentiators is AppleCare, which offers that added piece of mind when you attach it to your Apple branded bride and joy.
As you might perhaps already know, the Gold Master build of iOS 5 was just released moments ago. If you're looking to jailbreak the new release of iOS 5, you can do so with the latest version of Redsn0w, just like you've been able to do using previous beta versions of iOS 5.
Many months and a seemingly endless number of betas later, iOS 5 is finally going to drop to consumers on the 12th of this month, it brings all those features we've been promised - and then some.
Unless you have been without an Internet connection for the last week, you're likely aware that Apple was to hold an iPhone-related event today, which it wrapped up less than one hour ago. One of the products announced was the iPhone 4S, which will be also be available on Sprint, in addition to Verizon and AT&T.
Over the last few months, we've seen several pre-release seeds of iOS 5 but no indication on when we'd finally see the final version, and without any surprise, today at their media event, Apple has seeded the final Gold Master candidate of iOS 5 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Few could argue that Apple's failed attempt at making music social had much merit. Ping, for starters, was an awful name, and was a little too close to another semi-failed social app, Ping.fm. Of course, it was only the likes of us geeks that knew that, but that's besides the point.
With iPhone excitement beginning to reach fever pitch head of tomorrow's announcement by Apple, we're beginning to see all kinds of leaks and web-based mishaps. The latest in a long line is from Vodafone's German arm, who's web store now appears to be listing new iPhone models in its compatibility lists.
