Okay, they might not actually be ninjas, but if you’re firing a 1,000-foot line across an international border (which just so happens to be a river) with a slingshot, and using it to zip-line $46,500-worth of iPhone 4 and iPad 2 devices, I think you at least get honourary ninja status. The elaborate scheme was…
iOS 5 Beta 5 now available for download
Over the weekend, Apple released iOS 5 beta 5 for developers and early adopters on the beta program. Several new changes were added to the iOS 5 beta 5, and some believe that this is probably close to the last beta, if not the last one, before Apple decides to pull the trigger on the…
AT&T switches jailbroken iPhone tethering users to limited plans
AT&T has been saying for months that it will crack down on jailbroken iPhone users who are using its network for unlimited tethering. The carrier has separate individual plans for iPhone tethering, but some users have circumvented the plans by jailbreaking their iPhones. Their free and unlimited tethering days, however, seem to be over. Some…
iPhone 5 and ‘simplified’ iPhone 4 hitting China Telecom in October?
We can add more rumors to the iPhone 5 pile in terms of an October release as we’ve just learned that China Telecom might be landing the Apple smartphone that month. Apparently, China Telecom has entered into a “preliminary agreement” with Apple to sell the iPhone 5 before the end of October, along with a…
Facebook hires iPhone interface designer, Mike Matas
Facebook has just acquired Push Pop Press, which also includes one of its co-founders, Mike Matas, who happened to work for Apple once upon a time. Matas was a human interface designer at Apple, and he designed a lot of what you see in the iPhone, iPad and even on your Mac. What could this…
Is this the new iPhone 5?
With iPhone 5 rumors in a flurry, we caught a glimpse of what could have been the iPhone 5 last week. However, the photo was blurry and grainy, and it was shot at a distance so we couldn’t get a good look at it. This time around, high-resolution photos have surfaced, and it looks like…
Apple launching iPhone 5 in October?
We’ve been expecting the iPhone 5 to launch this September, hopefully coinciding with the release of iOS 5. All rumors point towards a September launch, but a new rumor sets it in October. It makes a little bit of sense if Apple plans to hold its usual music event in September as it did last…
Is this the iPhone 5?
With the next iPhone 5 potentially just a few weeks away, 9to5Mac has stumbled upon a picture which is believes may be the next iPhone out in the wild. They received this photo from a train and it makes sense that Apple would be testing on this type of environment, as this would do a…
How to maximize your iPhone’s battery life
The iPhone has the best battery life I’ve ever seen in a modern smartphone, especially the iPhone 4. I can go almost two whole days under heavy use before I have to plug it into its charger. However, I’ve learned that some of my friends and acquaintances aren’t seeing the same results. If you’d like…
iPhone ‘light,’ or inexpensive iPhone model leaked?
For years, we’ve been hearing about cheaper versions of the iPhone to be released along with the usual, $200-300 models. And, for the most part, it has been happening: previous model prices are slashed and released along with their newer counterparts (i.e. the iPhone 3G when the 3GS was released, and the 3GS when the…
