Apple has been under fire in China recently, where it's desperately trying to expand, over its warranty policies. Consumers there believe that the company's warranty isn't equivalent to the policies offered in other countries, according to recent reports from Chinese media. Apple CEO Tim Cook addressed the issue in an apology letter recently published by Business Insider. The lengthy...
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 was still stealing the hearts and minds of the mobile community. Then Apple introduced the iPhone. Dang, I still kinda miss those rounded edges...
Here is what the iPhone 5 will (probably) look like: two-tone, taller screen, smaller dock and unibody design. Soak it in, because you, your friends and millions of people around the world will carry it in their pockets. Ever since the first part leaked for Apple's upcoming handset, the Internet has chimed in as to why it sucks, why it's not innovative, "I'm never buying an Apple...

The Brydge iPad Keyboard This product looks like it took a page right out of Asus’ book (keyboard dock, anyone?), which certainly isn’t a bad thing. Aptly named the Brydge, this accessory is the closest the iPad will ever be to the MacBook Air. Not only does it match Apple’s famous aesthetics, but the Brydge from what we can tell looks like it equals the Cupertino company’s...
Last week, my son and I were out for a walk around our neighborhood. He’s still sitting in a stroller, so I was in charge of pushing. About halfway through our normal trek, my wife called. I reached into my pocket and answered my phone. We talked, we hung up and I put my phone inside the cup holder on the stroller. She called back. I spazzed out and slapped the phone off of the...
With a Retina display now in its iPhone, its iPad, and its iPod touch, Apple’s only mobile devices without a super high-resolution are its MacBooks. Until now, the problem has been finding a processor that supports such a display. But with Intel’s latest Ivy Bridge processors, that problem has been solved. At the Intel Developer Forum which took place earlier this week, Kirk Skaugen,...

Finding similar results abroad, comScore also states that 87 percent of iPhone users in...
Much of the talk surrounding the iPhone 5 concerns LTE radios, a bigger screen and faster processors. Those are great additions, there is something else that could be added to the phone that could be even more practical. Smartphones are an investment, and we take many steps to ensure that the investment is protected. External cases shroud beautiful devices, but ironically leave the...
