The iPhone, Apple's smartphone device, has been a company-defining gadget, helping the Cupertino outfit reach the dizzy heights of one of the world's most valuable companies.
Apple is currently in the process of creating those famous ad campaigns we've become accustomed to seeing in advance of the October release of the iPhone 5.
Just yesterday, it became known that the iPhone 5 could be heading to Sprint, only leaving T-Mobile as the only major US carrier not to carry the iPhone. According to a source, however, T-Mobile might also be getting the iPhone 5 sooner than later, making the handset to be available on every carrier in the United States.
Big, big news, folks! A court up in the Netherlands has ruled that Samsung Mobile’s Galaxy S and Galaxy S II smartphone infringe upon at least three of Apple’s patents; sales and marketing of the Galaxy S II phone have been ordered to be shut down in over 30 European countries!
It seems as though Apple is declaring all-out war in a bid to grab a majority share of the smartphone market. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the Cupertino outfit will also launch the upcoming iPhone 5 on Sprint Nextel in October.
It wasn't long ago that we reported of the iPhone 5 silicone cases which had begun selling on the internet - sourced mainly from China. It seems that wholesaler TruSupplier is very confident on the outcome of the final design, and has subsequently added hard-shell cases to the roster in anticipation of the launch, expected to be early October.
If you're a regular reader of this site, or just a registered Apple developer, you're likely aware that iOS 5 Beta 6 was released on last Friday, as the system edges closer to its final form. If you have jailbroken iOS 5 Beta 6 using Redsn0w 0.9.8b5 (the old version), as we have mentioned before, you should have noticed some stability issues. Thankfully, all of these issues have been fixed in a new version of Redsn0w which was just released.
Earlier this year, jaws across the world dropped when Japan was hit by a huge earthquake that cost many lives and brought the country close to a nuclear catastrophe. Apple is playing its part at helping by displaying earthquake warnings on iOS 5's Notification Center to all users in Japan, using the country's own earthquake warning system.
One of the most well-known utilities that have been built into iOS from the very beginning is the Calculator app, which does a great job for basic calculations, and sometimes not-so-basic ones. Yet, sometimes we only wish that there was an easier and quicker way to perform calculations in iOS: if you have jailbroken your device, now there is.
It's no secret to any Apple enthusiast that the next-generation iPhone is right around the corner, as evidenced by the many reports that have surfaced over the last few months. If the next iPhone is indeed scheduled to be announced next month, as most sources predict, it must have entered mass production by now. If these leaked pictures are any indicator, it already has.
