Now we have even more details thanks to a big scoop from 9to5Mac. Apparently not only is Ive going for a flatter look in iOS 7, but he’s also stripping away much of the color instead opting … Read more

New iPhone 5 Advertisement Keeps it Simple, Focuses on Music
Apple has released a new advertisement for its iPhone 5, which focuses not on apps, playing games or sharing photos, but rather the feature that got Apple into the iPhone business in the first place; music. The simple and quite elegant commercial focuses on the solo act of jamming out, reminding us of a time when smartphones were still in the realm of science fiction. Apple revolutionized portable music when it released its iPods in the early 2000′s, and has no doubt made a huge impact on the smartphone scene after … Read more

iOS 7 imminent: Apple confirms WWDC 2013 keynote for June 10th
Apple confirmed to AllThingsD today that Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote presentation will be held on June 10th, the first day of WWDC this year.

Though it probably will not get a release until the fall, Apple should make the developer beta of iOS 7 available … Read more

Apple Vs. Samsung: Apple Says Google Now Violates Siri Patents
Apple has been mum about any new product developments over the last few months, but the company is certainly not rolling over to the likes of Samsung in its ongoing patent infringement battle. Interestingly, Apple is now claiming that Samsung is violating Siri patents, via an amendment in its current court case. Apple is claiming that Samsung is infringing on patents 8,086,604 and 6,846,959, which detail a “universal interface for retrieval of information in a computer system,” a.k.a. Siri, by using Google’s Google Now technology in their devices. Apple is also claiming … Read more

Customer satisfaction with iPhone has declined since last year
The American Customer Satisfaction Index scores for cell phones are in for 2013 and a new trend has taken place this year. Same as always and not totally surprising, Apple remains in the lead with the highest customer satisfaction rating thanks to the iPhone. However, the gap is tightening as competition like Samsung and Motorola have gained quite a few points at Apple’s expense. In 2012, Apple had the highest score out of any cell phone manufacturer with an 83. This year, still at the highest, it has actually dropped … Read more

Apple CEO Tim Cook to testify at Senate hearing on offshore taxes
Apple is the target of a Senate hearing investigating offshore tax practices with the company’s CEO readying to testify at the Senate Permanent Subcommittee. The iPhone maker has been under fire for its tax practices lately after avoiding to pay as much as $9.2 billion in taxes by performing some financial (though perfectly legal) mumbo-jumbo. The goal of the hearing is to examine how companies shift profits offshore and how that impacts the tax code. To that end, representatives from Microsoft and HP have already testified in September 2012. Apple … Read more

iOS 6 gets green light from the US Defense Department
Good news for Apple as the company’s iOS 6 software just received clearance from the United States Defense Department. This undoubtedly sets the stage for the iPhone and iPad to become standard commonplace in the hands of workers in the Pentagon. This comes to no ones surprise, considering how the approval of the DoD has been rumored for some time now. Apple’s iOS 6 joins Samsung running the Knox security suite and BlackBerry 10 devices. The government looks to be just about done with those obsolete BlackBerry 7 handsets that’s … Read more

Sometimes, even the cops need a helping hand. According to reports from CNET, law enforcement officials across the country are having a hard time extracting data from iPhones that have been seized as evidence in investigations.
