There is a second, less publicized issue plaguing the iPhone 4 besides its antenna; proximity sensor bugs. Some users are reporting their iPhone 4's screen randomly turns on while on a call. On-screen buttons would then be triggered by their face (aka the cheek-touch) or ears
The iPhone 4's antenna issues make using a case almost imperative for many (left-handed) users. Unfortunately, Apple has decided not to give their $29 bumper out for free. This decision leaves an entire market open for better, cheaper solutions. We've told you about a few of them already, but if you still feel you shouldn't have to pay for one, there might be a better way.
Apple finally commented on this Sunday's App Store fraud. Some accounts did indeed get hacked, but the culprit has been banned.
Ever wondered what your iPhone 4 looks like on the inside, but don't have the attention span to check out iFixit? The folks over at TechRestore have put together a great teardown video of their own.
As you would imagine, the Dev-Team is already hard at work getting up to speed with Apple's latest releases. That is on iOS 4, which can actually already be jailbroken on the 3G, and both on older and now newer 3GS', then on the new iPhone 4.
For some time now, I've been fiddling around with an iPad app called YX Player. In short, it's a very simple video player with some extended playback capabilities. It can read various video formats like Divx, Xvid or WMV.
As I write this, there is something very wrong going on with the Apple App Store. Apparently, as you can see for yourself, most of the top books apps at the moment all come from the same developer (and seem to be crapware). A situation supposedly driven by some (large scale?) iTunes account hijacking.
Apple won't allow Flash on its iDevices. They have their reasons and by now we've learned to live without it. Yet, some tenacious folks just can't let go and have come up with the most clever workarounds.
There is something very alluring about Facetime. Most people clearly enjoy it and it's driving a lot of sales. Yet, it's clear the current implementation may not be Apple's endgame.
Good news for those of you who are planing to return your black iPhone 4 to get a white one (as no sane person would otherwise return an iPhone). Apple is apparently dumping the 10% restocking fee on all iPhone returns.
While the iPhone is already great as it is, most of us agree that what really makes it stand out are the apps. So essential are apps that Google and Microsoft go to great lengths to lure iOS developers to work on their platform. So far they've had varying degrees of success.
Today Apple has finally decided to address the new iPhone's antenna issue. The fix may really surprise you.
A couple of guys from a local LA radio station undertook an unusually interesting (and crazy) project this week; shoot some aerial footage using an iPhone 4.
Glyphboard is an particularly interesting little web app that works like a charm with iOS4 and especially with folders.
Right on schedule, today Apple is on its way to reinventing mobile advertising by officially launching its iAd advertising program.
Interesting news is developing in the App Store world right now as Disney has apparently just acquired iOS game developer Tapulous.
Mozilla just announced on its blog that Firefox Home, its cloud syncing app has now been submitted to Apple.
Apple has just taken yet another step towards discontinuing support for its legacy systems.
It seems like Motorola is still very conscious that the only way it can achieve some Buzz for its Droid is to attack Apple. Motorola did it once again yesterday with a new print ad.
No folks, it's not a joke; Apple has just posted an ad on their job opening board. They are looking for what seems like an entire team of antenna engineers for the iPhone and iPad.
Apple's misfortune is always an amazing source of inspiration for humor. This one, by lolBoom, will please you with both its simplicity and power.
While Apple is still somewhat ambivalent at its highest level about the new iPhone's antenna issues, it's not leaving those on the front lines without some sort of guidance. Indeed, BGR managed to put its hands on the AppleCare procedure sheet available to the reps if you confront them about the issue.
Just a short post to notify you that Apple has just released an iOS 4 update for its MobileMe Gallery app. On top of bringing fast-app switching, MobileMe Gallery now allows you to enjoy your pictures in higher resolution, that is if you're using an iPhone 4 on Wi-Fi.
