Apple issued the latest update for iPhone 5 users on Thursday. iOS version 6.1.4 is now available and, according to the change log, includes an “updated audio profile for the speakerphone.” This probably isn’t a major update that you’ll need to jump on — there aren’t any security enhancements or bug fixes so far as we can tell, but it’s probably always a good idea to stay up to date...
Will it blend? Probably — what doesn't? — but even more importantly is that, when the circuits meet the pavement, the Samsung Galaxy S4 breaks.

Aside from its excellent build, the iPhone 5’s camera is, even months later, still one of the best on the market—even with the Lumia 920 and HTC One around. So, of course, we put it up against the brand new Galaxy S4, which will be one of the iPhone’s biggest rivals this year...
Apple has been unusually silent over the past several months—we haven't seen any big announcements since the iPhone 5, which was back in September of last year. We're quickly skipping over the company's annual iPad announcement, and that vow of silence may tell us a lot about what to expect when a reveal does finally come. We've heard a lot about the likelihood of a redesigned full-size...
If you’re one of those iOS haters who complain about Apple selling yesterday’s specs for top dollar, then I need to brace you for this one: The world’s most expensive iPhone 5 has been produced, and the value of this gold and diamond handset is so far beyond the reach of mere mortals, it would even make your garden-variety millionaires gag. In fact, if this were on the market, it would...
It took T-Mobile years to finally strike a deal with Apple, but the carrier finally offers the iPhone. And, wouldn't you know it, the device is already selling quite well, according to T-Mobile CMO Mike Sievert. In fact, Sievert describes the carrier's first iPhone day as "gangbusters." Maybe this means customers will no longer ditch T-Mobile in search of Apple's popular device. In a...
Say what you will about it, people lining up outside Apple stores on launch days has gained something like legendary status.
