Police Arrest Customer Who Allegedly Threatened to Shoot iPhone
We can all empathize with Michael Bolton in Office Space when he beat the toner out of Initech’s problematic printer. But we can’t level with this incredibly stupid Cincinnati resident Daniel Goodrich, who told an Apple Store employee at Kenwood Towne Centre he was so mad at his iPhone he could “pop a 9mm at it.” He allegedly went on to open the right side of his shirt, revealing that he did, in fact, possess a black, 9mm handgun. That’s when the Apple…

Apple has hired American Beauty director Sam Mendes to shoot TV ads for the next-generation iPhone, according to a rumor posted by tech blog Engadget. At least one spot will show a mother and daughter using the iPhone’s front-facing camera for a video-conferencing call, a tipster told Engadget. (Jetsons, anyone?) Most of us already expected...
Leaked all over the web, the next iPhone has generated more buzz than Apple could ever wish for. Nonetheless, there’s still plenty unknown about the handset, and many expect Steve Jobs to tell the full story Monday morning. Jobs is scheduled to kick off Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference at 10 a.m. PT with a keynote speech,...
Police are investigating the loss of what appears to be an iPhone prototype, purchased and originally published this week by the tech site Gizmodo.

Now nearly three years old, Apple’s first-generation iPhone will no longer be compatible with future upgrades of the iPhone operating system, according to Steve Jobs. Apple previewed iPhone OS 4 last week, which will deliver multitasking and other improved features to the latest iPhones and iPod Touch devices. The older iPhone 3G will run...
Apple released the iPhone OS 4 beta less than 24 hours ago, and already hackers have jailbroken the new operating system. In the video above, Eric McDonald, better known as “MuscleNerd” of the iPhone Dev Team, demonstrates an iPhone running OS 4 with Cydia installed. Cydia is the underground app store only accessible with jailbroken...
Lately Apple is trying to throw itself down a recursive rabbit-hole. First there was Apple Store , the iPhone app to buy an iPhone. Now we get Find my iPhone , an iPhone app to let you find your lost iPhone. The free download from the App store works on any iDevice and requires a MobileMe account. Essentially, it is the same service that you would...
Apple on Thursday afternoon released a minor update for its iPhone OS, fixing a major bug many affected users referred to as “coma mode,” whereas the handset would not awaken from sleep. In Apple’s support forums, many iPhone customers complained that the iPhone OS 3.1 update rendered their phones unresponsive in sleep mode arbitrarily....
Soon, you’ll need more than two hands to count the number of Android phones on the market. At this rate, it seems inevitable that the number of phones running Google’s open source operating system will eventually outnumber the number of iPhones, which run Apple’s proprietary (and closed) operating system. It’s a situation...
After Verizon aired advertisements bashing the iPhone, many tech observers agreed it was unimaginable that Apple could be considering sharing the popular smartphone with Verizon. But a new report suggests the contrary. Apple is indeed delivering a Verizon iPhone in the third quarter of 2010, claims research firm OTR Global. The firm cites sources...
Digitimes, a site which likes to predict the future of Apple hardware by keeping track of the components Apple orders from its suppliers, has a juicy tidbit regarding the iPhone camera. Not only has Apple, apparently, ordered 40-45 million camera units from OmniVision Technologies for 2010 (up from around 21 million for this year), but those camera-chips...

Few have been spared the satire of Matt Groening's long running animated sitcom. Last night, The Simpsons took on Apple, or uh, Mapple for a full 6 minutes of lampoonery -- a pretty harsh ride at a two-joke per minute pace. It all starts when the Springfield mall gets its very own Mapple store...
