At 1 p.m. Beijing time today, about 3,000 to 4,000 Foxconn production workers (ironically) went on strike due to strict demands to keep up with high quality standards for products, namely the Apple iPhone 5. There have been multiple conflicts, sometimes physical, between inspectors and workers that Foxconn decided to overlook plus high pressure to meet…
MediaFire released a highly anticipated iPhone app for the first time today that will allow its over 150 million monthly users to access their files stored in the cloud on their iPhone or iPod touch. What’s nice about it is that you can download it regardless of your account type — you could have a…
Though Apple claims it designed the iPhone 4 and with strong aluminosilicate glass “comparable in strength to sapphire crystal,” there have been no shortage of reports over the years that after just a single fall on the pavement, the glass had shattered to pieces. Now that the iPhone 5 has replaced most of the glass…
Leave it to AT&T to somehow manage to tarnish its reputation even further. If you were like me and plenty of other people, on Thursday night before iPhone 5 pre-orders went on sale, you stayed up until 3 a.m. in the morning on the east coast (or midnight on the west) to be one of…

For a company who goes nuts over patent infringement, and was just awarded $1+ billion dollars from Samsung for just that, the new iPod Nano revealed at the Apple event today looks remarkably similar to the Nokia Lumia. While they may look similar however, “thugtacular” on Reddit.com has pointed out that it just looks “like…
AT&T has decided to be a little less evil than usual today. It turns out that if you’re lucky enough to still have AT&T’s old unlimited data plan tied to your account, you’ll still be able to use that plan with the 4G LTE-compatible iPhone 5. “We offer customers the flexibility to keep the iPhone data…
