Virgin Mobile made it known late last month that it would be offering the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c on October 1, and a quick look at the carrier’s website shows that everything has gone according to schedule. Pricing wasn’t described at the time, however, leaving the topic open for speculation based on how the […]
As it seems to go every year, iPhone inventory is depleted from the Apple Store. You have to sift through wooden shelves for a single speck of a goldpagne iPhone 5S, pray to the angels for a white 5S and… well, you can actually get a ‘space gray’ iPhone anywhere you want. If you want to save your self a disappointing trip to the Apple Store though, developer Mordy Tikotzky made a nifty tool for you to check iPhone 5S inventory online at iPhone-Check.

Apple offers iPhones through both large and small US carriers these days, but it has so far given Boost Mobile the cold shoulder. That may soon change, however — @evleaks has just leaked ads hinting that Boost will get the iPhone 5c and 5s in the near future. While the images don’t reveal any launch dates or pricing, they suggest that both smartphones will be eligible for the provider’s “shrinking” unlimited rates. The expansion isn’t all that crucial given the upcoming 5c and 5s launches through Virgin Mobile, but it doesn’t hurt to have another option for low-cost iPhone service.

Grand Theft Auto has long been known for parodying everything from vehicles, to advertising, to pop culture, to even the technology that dominates the time. So it’s not surprising to see one of the characters in the recently released GTA V using an iPhone parody called the iFruit. And now you can actually get your hands on one—kind of.

Desperation has nearly set in for seekers of the gold iPhone 5s in China – and it’s not just Apple that’s cashing in. What’s appearing now are massive amounts of standardized shiny gold stickers for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5, each of them made to make the non-gold editions of the device look a […]
Apple has been criticized over the years for producing iPhone upgrades that at times weren’t much of an upgrade. That fact has led many people to wonder exactly what improvements have been made with each new iteration of the iPhone. A really cool video has shown up that goes from the original iPhone up to […]
Modern smartphones, such as the iPhone and Android devices, have made it easy for the visually impaired to interact with the world and have made their daily lives easier and more independent. Early on in the smartphone world, devices didn’t have much in the way of features that helped the visually impaired. Early on the […]
Italian seismologists Antonino D’Alessandro and Giuseppe D’Anna of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology at Pisa have pinpointed the accuracy of the iPhone accelerometer–the miniscule chip that detects motion, relays the data to the phone’s firmware, and ultimately governs the orientation of the phone’s display–to detect moderate to strong earthquakes when near the quake’s […]
There have been rumors that TSMC would handle some of Apple’s future chip production, but details of the purported arrangement have been vague. The Korea Economic Daily may have just filled us in, however. It claims that Samsung will make 30 to 40 percent of Apple’s A8 processors next year, with TSMC presumably assembling the lion’s share. Apple wanted TSMC to be the sole manufacturer, but the challenge of building 20 nanometer-class chips led to a supplementary agreement with Samsung, according to the Daily‘s tipsters. Neither side has commented on the report, so take it with a large grain of salt. If the story is accurate, though, it suggests that Apple will have only modest success in excluding its arch-rival’s technology from next-generation iOS devices.
