After a day when some customers gave up trying to buy a new iPhone 4, both AT&T and Apple continued to have major problems handling online orders Tuesday night.
As of 8:30 p.m. ET, AT&T's Web site was returning an error during the part of the ordering process when a current customer's account is checked to determine whether he or she is eligible for a new iPhone at the subsidized prices of $199 for a 16GB model or $299 for the 32GB device.
Disgruntled at having been characterized as 'malicious' by AT&T, the group of hackers who exploited a hole in the wireless operator's website last week have fired back by accusing both AT&T and Apple of acting irresponsibly in regard to iPad security.
"The times they are a changing, and some traditional PC folks feel like their world is slipping away. It is," said Apple CEO, Steve Jobs.
He's right, of course. Apple's iOS 4 is part of the evolution of the new age. In future, applications along with the majority of your computing experience will be hosted in the cloud and available to you across a plethora of devices.
ON MONDAY we suffered through the shameless spectacle of another Apple product launch.
Steve Jobs, the Liberace of the tech world, showed off the latest Iphone 4 smartphone with the idea that it will replace his stonklingly successful 3G gizmo. However here are ten reasons why buying an Iphone 4 is not a good idea.
Apple has re-instated the popular iPad news-reading application Pulse. The move seems to overturn a decision earlier today to remove the app because of objections from The New York Times that the app violated its terms of service by encouraging readers to read the Times.
Apple did not respond to a request for explanation, but it looks to be sticking a finger in the eye of the Times, which it has heavily partnered with to promote the iPad.
The iPhone 4 got a preemptive teardown on Monday courtesy of CEO Steve Jobs at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.
Though a pre-commercial version of the iPhone 4 was notoriously taken apart by Gizmodo--and no doubt other meticulous teardowns will follow--there's nothing like an official peek inside by Jobs to set the record straight.
I bought my iPhone in December 2007 and have been laboring along with it ever since. The Edge network was hardly ideal, and it was frustrating when the 3G model was released within about 6-8 weeks of my purchase of the first generation iPhone. There were moments when I wanted to upgrade, especially when the 3GS emerged with video capabilities, but my contract didn’t run out until December 2009, and I was hoping against hope like most iPhone fans that Apple’s Stockholm Syndrome with AT&T would finally come to an end.
Apple's forthcoming iOS 4 will be ready to update iPhones and iPod Touches in two weeks. It will turbocharge existing iPhones without a doubt, but how does the new operating system stack up to Android's 2.2 (Froyo) release?
Describing it as the 'biggest leap since the original iPhone' Apple CEO Steve Jobs finally revealed what everyone had gathered to hear at the company's World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco, California on Monday. Apple was launching the much awaited iPhone 4.
Jobs promised over 100 new features, out of which he said he would discuss eight in his keynote. First up, an all new design. The new iPhone is 9.3mm thick, which makes it 24 per cent thinner than the iPhone 3GS. The Apple boss claimed it was going to be the 'thinnest smartphone on the planet.'
The next-generation Apple iPhone will likely will be unveiled on Monday at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. In past years, Apple has used the conference's keynote presentation to announce new products, including versions of the iPhone in 2008 and 2009.
