You would think that with an iPhone refresh on the horizon, sales for last year's model would start to decline. Why would you buy an outdated handset, when you knew that a new one would be announced soon for the same price?
Apparently not everyone followed the iPhone rumors, or if they did, they just didn't care. Because according to BGR, the iPhone 4 was still the top-selling smartphone for both Verizon and AT&T during the month of September...
Good news for folks who pulled the trigger a little too early on buying an iPhone with AT&T in the last 60 days. ModMyi announced this morning that the carrier will be extending its 30-day return policy for recent iPhone purchasers.
While the initial report was based on a purported internal carrier document, iDB was able to confirm the news with AT&T via a customer service representative. Hit the jump for a full rundown of the limited-time return program...
Today is a big day for Apple news. If you've gotten lost in the growing pile of announcements, here's a helpful recap of the main highlights from Apple's "Let's Talk iPhone" event.
Today Tim Cook and co. talked about iOS 5, iCloud, and the iPhone 4S. Check inside for everything you need to know...
With every new iPhone coming out, older models see a price drop, allowing those of us who don't have $200 to spend on a phone access to some of the best smartphones out there at a reasonable price.
Following the launch of the iPhone 4S, Apple dropped the price of the iPhone 4 to $99. For that price, you only get an 8GB version of the device, but it's still a good deal. If $99 is still too much, you can get the older iPhone 3GS for free. Yes, for free, but with a 2-year contract...
With all of the statistics flying about regarding Android and Apple handset sales, it's extremely easy to get confused. Sometimes you hear that iPhones are topping the charts, and other times you see that Android is "leading the market."
MacRumors points to a survey done by the NPD research firm that might just help clear the air. Their quarterly Mobile Phone Track report gives some serious insight into who is the top-dog in the mobile industry...
Last week we showcased Speed for Maps, a Speedometer jailbreak add-on for the iPhone's stock maps app. This week, the same developer has followed up with a sequel of sorts, a compass add-on that looks and feels just like his previous work.
The main difference here, is that you must use an iOS device equipped with a digital compass. In other words, when it comes to the iPhone, only the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4 qualify.
Check inside for a video demonstration of Compass for Maps in action...
We know, iPhone 5 rumors have gotten way out of hand. It seems like we are hearing 2 or 3 a day now. Aside from being annoying, the increased chatter is also a sign that we are getting close to an Apple announcement.
In fact, we are seeing a few indications that the iPhone 5 is nearing launch time. Multiple purported cases for the device have been surfacing, and now there are several reports claiming that previous models of the iPhone are being discounted and maybe even discontinued...
A recent rumor is that Apple will start offering the iPhone 3GS as its "low-end" consumer device this Fall with a $350 off-contract price tag. Previously, it was speculated that Apple would introduce a second iPhone 'Nano' model in the coming months for the prepaid and cheaper phone markets.
AT&T has started offering the 8GB iPhone 3GS as a refurb for only $9. Usually, these types of price drops mean that a carrier is trying to get remaining units off the shelves, so we find it unlikely that the 3GS will be of any interest to Apple come this Fall.
Now I'm as tired of these next-gen iPhone rumors as the next person, but when industry-insider Jonathan Geller says he's received iPhone information from a "solid source," it's hard to ignore it. Geller's site, Boy Genius Report, has been home to several Apple exclusives in the past.
His latest report confirms that Apple will indeed be launching two different versions of the iPhone this Fall. One iPhone 4S/5 model will replace the current iPhone 4, and there will also be a cheaper model for the low-end and prepaid markets...
MacRumors came across an interesting accessory for all of you iPhone-toting photographers. Have you ever wanted your iPhone to be capable of shooting long-distance photos? Well, now it can with this new SLR adapter.
An SLR adapter is a custom case with a lens-mounting ring. It allows you to attach your SLR (Single Lens Reflex) lenses to your iPhone, which is an absolute must-have for any budding photographer. Or is it?
We've been hearing a lot of rumors suggesting Apple might be releasing a low-cost iPhone this fall. Analysts predict the timing is right for the Cupertino company to enter the low-end smartphone market and they love to speculate.
The latest gossip comes from Mike Abramsky of RBC Capital who sees things a little differently. The analyst believes we'll see Apple offer a cheaper iPhone, but it won't be a new model. He thinks the 3GS is the rumored low-priced smartphone...
iH8sn0w's popular jailbreak tool for Windows, Sn0wBreeze, has been updated with support for an untethered iOS 5 jailbreak on the iPhone 3GS. iOS 5 is still in the Beta 1 stage, and Sn0wBreeze Beta 2 is the first method available for an untethered iOS 5 jailbreak on the iPhone 3GS.
Thanks to the old bootrom on the 3GS, users can enjoy a fully untethered iOS 5 Beta 1 jailbreak with the newly released Sn0wBreeze update.
