We've been hearing rumors over the past few weeks that Apple is looking to launch its next-generation tablet in February of next year. The most recent chatter even points to a specific date — February 24 (Steve Jobs' birthday).
A February iPad 3 release is certainly feasible. The original iPad launched in April of 2010, and the iPad 2 debuted in March 2011. We've just uncovered more evidence that lends weight to the theory that the next iPad is coming in two months...
You're going to have to take this one with a huge grain of salt as it comes straight from unreliable sources. According to Focus Taiwan, via 9to5Mac:
A local Chinese-language newspaper reported Friday that iPad3 might be launched on Feb. 24 to mark the anniversary of the birth of Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs.
While the rumor of the launch date itself doesn't sound completely out of this world, the source is unknown and probably not worthy of trust.
Just as was predicted earlier this month, Apple rolled out its latest handset to several new countries today. Even though the company didn't make an official announcement in advance, its website now reflects the additional regions.
The iPhone 4S launched here in the states back in October, along with a handful of other countries. Since then, Apple has been speedily rolling out the popular device to new areas on a month by month basis. So who got it today?
It appears that Apple is continuing its international rollout of iTunes Match today. Last night we told you that the music matching service's US-only restriction had been lifted, as users in other countries started reporting access to the feature.
However, a lot of folks have been complaining of issues with signing up for the service, leading some to believe that the iTunes Match launch was premature. But problems or not, the rollout continues with other countries now noting availability.
Last month, Apple rolled out its latest handset in 15 new countries, bringing the total number of eligible countries to 44. The company has said that it plans to have the iPhone 4S in more than 70 countries by the end of the year.
It certainly seems like Apple is on pace to hit that goal before the December 31st deadline. MacRumors is reporting that the company plans to release the iPhone 4S to several new countries on the 16th of this month...
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently gave the iPhone 4S the go-ahead for a launch in the largest nation on earth. The decision gave the green light to several major Chinese carriers to start offering the device, including China Telecom.
With over 120 million mobile subscribers, China Telecom is bigger than any single US carrier, and it's never had the iPhone. So, you can see why anticipation is building for the operator to start carrying Apple's latest, and most popular, handset...
Apple's latest smartphone, the iPhone 4S, is arguably the year's hottest handset. Not only did the company sell 4 million units during the device's opening weekend, but the smartphone is still flying off of retailer's shelves a month later.
The handset is so popular, in fact, that carriers are having trouble keeping up with consumer demand — Apple can't make them quick enough. And the phone hasn't even found its way into mainland China yet, but it's getting closer...
As the developer edition of the iTunes 10.5.1 beta expires, everyone is wondering the same thing: where is iTunes Match? Apple's projected "end of October" launch date for the music mirroring service has come and gone.
Apple has been catching a lot of heat lately, and rightly so. Between the countless bugs in iOS 5, and its ongoing battery problems, Apple has been rather sloppy in recent weeks. Now, about iTunes Match...
During its "Let's Talk iPhone" event earlier this month, Apple announced that its highly anticipated iTunes Match service would launch by the end of October. And seeing as how it's October 27th, we can't be too far away from a public release.
Apple is certainly moving the pieces into place. Last week we reported that an iTunes Match toggle popped up in the iOS Settings application, and last night developers received an email stating that their Match libraries would be reset today...
As was expected, people have begun lining up for the iPhone 4S around the world. Certain people have been in line for over a week now, and more are joining by the minute.
We've collected some photos of Apple Store lines for the iPhone 4S launch...
After months of rumors, Apple finally confirmed last week that Sprint was going to be offering its latest handset. This Friday marks the first time that the carrier will have partnered with the Cupertino company on a major product launch.
Working with Apple generally means working for Apple, and it looks like Sprint is going to find that out this week. BGR has revealed some details surrounding Apple's rules for the carrier's first ever iPhone launch, and they're pretty intense...
After several months of rumors and speculation, Apple's long-awaited iPhone event has finally arrived. As expected, Tim Cook has taken the stage to kick off the highly anticipated keynote.
The newly-appointed CEO has started things off by talking about Apple's major milestones over the last several months. As you may know, it's been a good year for Apple, so Tim has plenty to brag about...
