Hi there, hold my hand as we take a walk down memory lane. A user recently posted several images on Reddit that show each homepage for the iPhone as it was announced. My how far we’ve come. 2007 – this was right around when the Motorola RAZR…

Will.i.am’s lineup of iPhone accessories is out, and I wish they weren’t. The six-time Grammy winner unveiled multiple versions of his i.am+ game-changers, and they’re nothing more than gaudy, over-indulgent lens attachments. The cheapest one, which looks like it came out of Toys R Us…

Bluegrass Cellular, a regional carrier based out of Kentucky, announced on Tuesday that it will begin offering the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S on Nov. 2. It doesn’t offer a robust LTE network, or the kind of blanket coverage you’d get from a Big Four…

Since Apple debuted the Retina display alongside the iPhone 4 back in 2010, the Cupertino company has always had one of the best smartphone displays. Sure, they’re not the biggest displays, but their whopping resolutions provide them with more pixels per inch than most others.…

The folks over at iPhone Dev-Team have already had enough time with iOS 6, which was released in its final form yesterday, that they were able to jailbreak it for several iOS devices. Unfortunately, the release isn’t yet available for the iPhone 5. However, you’re…

One of the biggest selling points for the iPhone 4S, after Siri, of course, is the introduction of a new 8-megapixel camera. It’s a custom lens built specifically for Apple’s new iPhone, with a larger f/2.4 aperture, an improved backside illumination sensor, and all-new optics.…

One of the iPhone 4/4S camera’s shortcomings is its fixed lens with narrow field of view and mediocre macro capability. That’s where the OlloClip comes in! This little guy packs three lenses into one: A 180-degree Fisheye, Wide-angle that doubles the iPhone’s field of view…

Several years ago I had a choice to make: BlackBerry or iPhone? I’d been using an unlocked iPhone 1 on T-Mobile, living on EDGE-only data speeds for $5.99/month thanks to the T-Zones plan I was grandfathered into at the time. 2007 turned into 2008, Apple…

Sure the iPhone 4 has been out for some time now, but sometimes reviews have to gestate as opposed to being rushed out.  Wouldn’t you rather know how it’s going to fit into your daily life from some real world use instead of, “We got…

Wow, this is pretty funny. Apple announced the iPhone 5 yesterday but, of course, you can’t pre-order one until this Friday. So comedian Jimmy Kimmel did what he does best and took to the streets to ask the public what they think about the new…

I know I’m part of a minority here, but I actually like the free earphones that Apple ships with its iPhone and iPod lineup. I don’t listen to music with them all that often, but when I do, I can’t complain. Having said that, I…

We don’t imagine Apple will allow this to stay on eBay very long, if it is indeed the real thing, but apparently an early version of the iPhone 4 recently surfaced on the online auction site. It’s dubbed the “N90″ and has a crazy logo…

Microsoft claimed earlier this year that devices running Windows Phone Mango and its IE9 web browser would beat those running Apple’s iOS platform and mobile Safari when it comes to browsing the web in the palm of your hand. It seems, however, that that’s not…

Apple has been busy rolling out iTunes Match to international customers this week, but it has still found time to push out software updates for the Apple TV and the iPhone 4S — the latter of which makes porting Siri to older iOS devices perfectly…

It seems like a long time ago already, but the iPhone 4S only launched a little over six weeks now. When we reviewed the device back in October, we felt it was one of the best smartphones on the market, although it wasn’t worth upgrading…
