Apple held its earnings call yesterday and managed to surpass astronomical expectations, but it also set a new bar for itself: Thanks to the iPhone, Apple is now the world’s largest handset vendor by revenue. And it did this just with the iPhone. Nokia, who undoubtedly pumps out the most handsets worldwide, has now taken…
It’s another quarter and another record profit for Apple, as the company posted second-quarter revenues of $24.67 billion and $5.99 billion profits thanks to the success of the iPhone and the iPad 2. The iPhone going to Verizon didn’t hurt AT&T’s earning and it also greatly helped Apple for the quarter. The company sold 18.65…
Early we reported that the Verizon iPhone failed to make a real dent in AT&T iPhone sales, but for the month of March it looks like the Apple smartphone took a back seat to the new HTC Thunderbolt, too.

The iPhone and iPad aren’t lacking multimedia options but the new Crackle iOS app may help stand out from the crowd by offering free, well-known TV shows and movies. Think of the Crackle iOS app as a Hulu Plus for free with less modern content. The just-released app lets you watch movies like “The Da…
Yesterday we reported that Square, the credit card reader for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, was being sold by Apple online for $10. Today, Square CEO and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey announced that the credit card reader will be sold by Apple retail stores, too. It’s the same price as you’d find online –…
Well, the latest batch of jailbreak solutions for the iPhone and other iOS devices seem to have come along pretty quickly. Just a few weeks ago, the untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 was released, but very shortly afterward, Apple released 4.3.2. We all assumed that it was Apple’s way of patching up the jailbreak, but…
We were a little bit shocked when Apple sued Samsung over the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab lineup because Samsung is a key component provider for the iOS company but you can be sure that Samsung isn’t going to take the lawsuit lying down.
