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 legal.

This normally happens to me …  after a month or so after a new mobile phone release, I start to question if the manufacturer has done enough. We all know that many expected Apple to announce the iPhone 5, but that is old news now. I have learned to live with the fact that the

A hacker has uncovered a bug in Apple’s new iOS 5 firmware which allows certain iPhones locked to AT&T to be unlocked for use on T-Mobile. The hack works with the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone 4, and Apple’s latest iPhone, the iPhone 4S. The biggest advantage to this trick is that you do not need

But thanks to all that fancy digital content, the company has been encouraging users to drop their print subscriptions rather than pay for both. From today, however, the company has

It’s no secret that Steve Jobs – and this is putting it nicely – disliked Google’s Android. In fact, the man held such a passionate personal vendetta against the OS that he was willing to go to “thermonuclear war” over the matter. Plain and simple, Jobs felt Android was a blatant rip off of the

Apple has taken one step closer to eliminating that annoying iOS 5 battery issue.

When Siri voice command was liberated from the shackles of the iPhone 4S, thanks to some clever hacking, it wasn’t long before iPhone 4 users realized that things weren’t quite perfect. The service sorta worked as it should… except for the pesky issue of not communicating with Apple servers. That’s kind of a big deal,

Apple has ramped up its iPhone 4S advertising with three new TV commercials that demonstrate the device’s hottest new features.
