Wow, talk about a flurry of names for a single product. We’ve heard rumors of the iPhone 5e or the iPhone 6c potentially launching sometime this spring to serve customers who want a 4-inch iPhone. Just yesterday, in fact, a photo of the alleged iPhone 6c surfaced, and it looked a lot like the iPhone 6s… but smaller. Now 9to5Mac‘s Mark Gurman is sounding off, and he’s putting a lot of...
There are now more than 100 million iPhones in use in the United States, according to a new report. Apple surpassed the 100 million mark at the end of September, with its most popular models being the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) put together the report by analyzing data on iPhone buyers — including the model they chose — then overlaying Apple'...
Apple has added another new ad to its "If it's not an iPhone campaign," this time showcasing the iPhone's photography prowess, which makes it the most popular camera in the world. Apple explains in the 30-second ad, titled "Photos & Videos," that "because iPhone makes it easy to capture amazing images, more people take photos with it every day than any other camera." The ad ends...

Remember Typo? The Ryan Seacrest-backed company unveiled its first iPhone keyboard attachment earlier this year before BlackBerry sued to block sales. Now, Typo is back with the Typo2, a redesigned physical keyboard for the iPhone 6, iPhone 5s and iPhone 5. While the original Typo looked like a pretty close copy of BlackBerry’s iconic keyboard, the Typo2 takes inspiration from Apple’s...
Is your almost two-year-old iPhone 5 experiencing poor battery life? If so, Apple might replace the underperforming part for free. The company this week set up a landing page allowing owners to input their serial number to see if their device is up for a replacement. Apparently the shorter battery experience, which is not an intended feature, only affects a small batch of iPhone 5...
iOS users can now bypass Apple's Activation Lock and reactivate devices without an iCloud password thanks to a new tool from smartphone unlock provider ChronicUnlocks.

Apple's Activation Lock, introduced last year...
We can't wait to try out Project Ara, but Google's modular smartphone won't actually hit the market until early next year. Thankfully, there's another option available right now on Kickstarter. Augment offers the possibility of endless iPhone customization, though for now Rubix, the company behind this crowd-funded project, is only offering the opportunity to buy a specialized iPhone 5/...
Apple has launched a new program for those affected by a problem with the iPhone 5's sleep/wake button. It seems some owners have complained the button has stopped working or only works intermittently—only a small percentage of devices are affected, Apple said.

AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon are all part of a fairly new mobile payments solution called Isis, which takes advantage of your phone’s NFC cheap to allow you to use your device as a mobile wallet. The problem with that use case scenario, however, was that it didn’t work for iPhone users, since the device lacks NFC. Now there’s a solution. AT&T on Friday announced a new case from...
