In anticipation of the iPhone 5 this September, would-be Verizon Wireless customers are holding on to their cash until they have a fifth-generation device to spend their money on, says one industry analyst.
Jason Armstrong of Goldman Sachs says "iPhone sales will be a touch below the 2.2 million" Verizon managed during the first quarter, and expectations of a fifth-generation iPhone landing in just a few months time are thought to be to blame for Verizon's dip in sales...
EA, the popular game publisher on the App Store has discounted all their games on the App Store to $0.99. EA is among one of the top selling publishers in the App Store currently. Usually each weekend before a holiday, EA hosts a sale in which they discount all their games to $0.99.
The occasion for this sale is the 4th of July. I would recommend that you buy your games before Monday in case they end the sale on Tuesday. There is currently a vast selection of games for your to pick from...

DreamBoard, the popular iPhone theme solution, has gone free on Cydia after previously selling for $2.99. Dreamboard is a popular Winterboard alternative that can mimic the looks of Android, Windows 7 etc.
Dreamboard works differently than Winterboard, because it doesn't require you to respring each time you switch themes, and it can achieve deep UI customizations without having to install other jailbreak applications...
Update: As Saurik confirmed in the comments section, this is not an update and jailbreakers should stay away from Cydia 1.1.2.
Earlier today, Cydia 1.1.2 went live. We haven't noticed anything major in terms of improvements, however, the only ones we've seen so far are some slight enhancements with search functions, and an overall slight improvement in performance, as well as a few bug fixes.
There's no changelog present in this release either, so it's only a small update...
About a year ago, iOS 4 became available to the public with Apple releasing it to iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G customers. It seems as if many iPhone customers are up-to-date with all of their software, as a whopping 95.59% of Apple iOS distribution by versions are already iOS 4.
Some people are still on iOS 3 - 4.22% of iOS devices in use are still running iOS 3 - but we presume that most of these are original iPhone owners (remember Apple left the 1st generation iPhone out of the picture for iOS 4)...
Google unveiled a new tool for developers today called Swiffy — a simple converter that takes .SWF Flash files and transforms them into iPhone-friendly HTML5 code. It's the latest experimental application to hit Google Labs, and while it works best with simple Flash animations, its results are rather impressive.
Anyone can use Swiffy by simply visiting swiffy.googlelabs.com. There you can upload an SWF file and quickly convert it into HTML5...
While any details we may have on the iPhone 5 right now are mere speculation, I'm confident it won't look like this! Fed up waiting for Apple's fifth-generation smartphone, TopFruit.com have created their own — made entirely of fruit and vegetables.
This edible iPhone boasts an aubergine bezel, a Music app made from oranges, and appears to run the "BlackBerry" OS. Get it? I know — that was poor...
After a number of recent squabbles with Samsung, it seems Apple may be looking to distance itself from the company and move production of its 'A6' ARM processor to another chipmaker.
In a report published today, Ars Technica cites "numerous sources in the semiconductor industry" who claim Apple is likely to approach Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to build the next-generation of its mobile processor in 2012 as the company aims to step away from its current partnerships with Samsung...
Following the iPhone 4's first birthday earlier this month, we're now sitting patiently awaiting the release (or at least the announcement) of Apple's iPhone 5. The device is rumored to land this September, and backing up those rumors is some new "intelligence" obtained by one investment banker on a recent trip to Taiwan.
Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty met with individuals in Taiwan last week — home to Apple's supply chain and manufacturing facilities — and issued a note to clients in which she claims the fifth-generation iPhone will enter production in August and will "ramp aggressively" into the fourth calendar quarter...
Still wondering why Apple COO Tim Cook was wandering around China Mobile HQ earlier this week? Well, it may have something to do with the company's upcoming iPhone 5.
A worker for China Mobile allegedly revealed on Weibo.com (China's substitute to Twitter) that Apple's fifth-generation iPhone will indeed launch in September like previous speculation has suggested — possibly even earlier in the U.S. and other key markets.
I have a friend who works at Radio Shack. He sells a lot of AT&T iPhones to customers and recently had a humorous story to share with me.
A woman entered the store and angrily asked for a sales associate. My friend responded to her, and asked her what the issue was. She held up her brand new iPhone 4 that she had purchased the week before, and proceeded to complain that she had been ripped off.
She explained that she had paid for an iPhone 4, but that's not what she was given. She demanded that since she paid for the newest iPhone, the store should exchange the one she had for a true iPhone 4...
