No, we can't make this stuff up. A guy named Michael has been sharing his dilemma in a discussion thread on the Apple support forums, and he's been slowly reaching the conclusion that the iPad 2 does not double as a CD player.
We're not sure whether the iPhone featured in this Target ad is the work of a smart jokester in the retailer's art department, or whether someone has inadvertently leaked an image of the iPhone 5, but either way, this is interesting — especially because it seems to tie in with those iPhone 5 case designs we published earlier.
As you can see from the picture above, the iPhone in this image shares some resemblance with the iPhone 4, however, in some ways it's different. Most notably because of those curved edges and curved back, which seems to taper towards the bottom.
I know many of you iDB readers are die hard fans of the new royal couple, William and Catherine, so I thought this would be the perfect fit for you. If you have $38,000 to spare on a new iPhone, you might be interested in this Royal iPhone 4, a majestic - yet uber tacky - iPhone made of platinum, diamonds, and sapphires.
Who in his right state of mind would spend $38,000 on an iPhone 4 when the iPhone 5 is right around the corner? Probably someone with bad taste and lots of cash...
We've seen some pretty crazy stories involving the iPhone over the last few months. Just recently, a man was apprehended and charged for a home invasion after police found his iPhone at the scene of the crime.
The latest story to surface comes from The New York Post. The news outlet has gotten its paws on court documents that detail a domestic dispute involving a prolific patent attorney who allegedly forced an iPhone down his girlfriend's throat...
Apple's iPhone 4 isn't really known for being a sturdy device. Handsets have been known to almost explode upon impact with the ground, even when dropped from a modest height. With that in mind, we're surprised to hear that one particular iPhone 4 managed to survive a fall of 13,500ft from the pocket of its skydiving owner.
Now granted, it's not going to win any awards for aesthetics since its plunge, but amazingly, the handset can still make and receive telephone calls...
Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the next iPhone as much as the next guy. But this might be a little extreme. The UK's Metro Online is reporting that somebody is already in line for the iPhone 5.
Even though the device isn't expected for another 1-2 months, Rob Shoesmith has already set up camp outside a London Apple Store in anticipation of the new gadget. No he's not crazy, this is actually all part of his plan...
Here's a little lesson to all the would-be criminals out there: If you are going to break into your ex-girlfriend's house, don't leave your iPhone behind as evidence. While most of us consider that common sense, that doesn't seem to be the case with Mr. Jason Scott Davis.
The 34-year-old Northern Californian is in custody as the prime suspect of a late-May home invasion. Authorities arrested Davis after discovering his iPhone in his girlfriend's bathtub the night of the robbery...
Here is a case that our pot-smoking readers might enjoy. It's called the iHit, and it started as a KickStarter project but it got quickly suspended by KickStarter due to the intended use of the product. The guys behind it are now looking for funding on their own.
Even though the video below can be a bit misleading, we all know what the purpose of the iHit is. Store some weed and your one-hitter in there for easy access, anywhere, anytime...
Yes, you read that headline correctly. While Americans have plenty of complaints with our nation's Transportation Security Administration, we can't deny that one agent in particular has... gonads (pardon the pun).
That's right, the now-convicted TSA agent, Nelson Santiago, was caught attempting to steal an iPad by means of stuffing it in his pants...
Comex's new exploit is easily the best jailbreaking tool ever developed. Not only is it much faster than previous methods, it's as easy to use as downloading an app.
Another reason JailbreakMe comes out on top is that you don't need a computer to run the software. Everything is done from the device. This creates an interesting dynamic for jailbreaking, because now you can do it almost anywhere. Even in an Apple Store...
We love these types of stories on iDB. When the iPhone is used to thwart criminals, it's always fun to read about.
The story of Lilli Gordon and her missing iPhone details how the smartphone's GPS was used by authorities to track down the thieves and Lilli's stolen valuables. Hopefully stories like this will teach would-be-prowlers that smartphones aren't the best items to steal...
The endlessly-churning iPhone rumor mill can get tiring at times.
When will the next iPhone come out? Will to be way different than the iPhone 4, or only a slight redesign? Will there be two iPhones announced at once? - These are the questions we must face on a daily basis.
A funny comic from The Joy of Tech analyzes the iPhone rumor mentality...
