As an iPhone 4S owner, I was kind of eyeing that new Panorama feature mentioned in today's keynote, thinking it was an iPhone 5-only innovation. Not true. Apple has confirmed the feature is part of iOS 6 and will work just fine on my 4S, as well as the 5th generation iPod touch. That's great news. There have been some other...
Farewell, Ping. As expected, Apple's much-beleagured attempt at launching its own social media network is going to the graveyard of tried, but failed Apple ideas. A notification in the Ping area of iTunes shows that the feature will no longer be available as of September 30, and 9to5Mac noticed that the service is no longer...
Apple has posted a stream of September 12's keynote event, where it introduced the iPhone 5, new iPod nano, new iPod touch, and gave a sneak peak of an October overhaul of iTunes. Generally the video stream of these events is of middling to decent quality; a higher-quality version should be uploaded to the iTunes Store later today...

There might be a Santa Claus, but regarding the mythical animal known as the universal iPhone: there is none. As noted on Apple's spec page for the iPhone 5, the company will be shipping independent GSM and CDMA models of the new phone to match the LTE frequency bands of carriers worldwide. The iPhone 4S, in contrast, supported all...
Apple has shipped 600 million sets of its iconic white earbuds, but over the past three years it's taken the design back to the drawing board. The result is the EarPod, a significant redesign. EarPods are differently shaped compared to the old earbuds, which should mean greater comfort for a wide variety of users. They don't...
Apple revamped the iPod touch today, making it thinner and lighter than previous models. It also sports the same 4-inch Retina display as the iPhone 5 and the new Lightning dock connector. Just like the iPhone 5, the speakers have been moved to the bottom of the device. Digging deeper inside, the new iPod touch has a dual-core...
Apple has reinvented the iPod nano. The seventh-generation model bears almost no resemblance to its iPod shuffle-sized predecessor. Instead, its large, widescreen, touchscreen display and tiny home button are more evocative of a tinier version of the iPod touch. The iPod nano is 5.4 mm thick, 38 percent thinner than the previous...
Love it or hate it, we all spend a lot of time in iTunes on our Macs, iPhones, iPads and what have you. Apple announced a major update for iTunes, calling it "dramatically simpler" for using your own media files, and for navigating the iTunes store. The new iTunes will look like a large grid, with a simplified UI. Click on any...
Phil Schiller just announced that iOS 6 is set to be released on September 19! That's a free download for the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, the new iPad and 4th generation iPod touch. Get your backups ready!
As expected with the announcement of the iPhone 5, Apple has lowered the in-contract prices of the iPhone 4S to $99, and the iPhone 4 will now be free. As with the iPhone 3GS last year, expect these discounted phones to be the low-end models -- 8 GB for the iPhone 4 and 16 GB for the iPhone 4S. We'll update this post once the exact...
While the iPhone 4S camera is among the best on any cellphone, Apple is not resting on its laurels, so we're going to see a much improved camera on the iPhone 5. The A6 chip in the new iPhone opens the door to better specs, including faster capture of photos, noise reduction and better low-light performance -- Apple claims these...
As foretold by our own Richard Gaywood, Apple unveiled a new dock connector for the iPhone 5. Called Lightning, the new connector is 80 percent smaller than the current 30-pin version. Besides being smaller, Lightning features an 8-signal design and improved durability. Lightning's connector is reversible so you don't have to...
Apple has confirmed what many assumed: The newly announced iPhone 5 will support LTE, the faster network protocol that will keep your iPhone blasting through data. Apple is calling its wireless "Ultrafast." In the US, Apple says, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint will all support LTE. In Canada Rogers, Telus, Bell, Fido and Virgin,...
Apple has announced the next-generation version of its processor for iOS devices. The A6 processor in the iPhone 5 has a two times faster CPU and two times faster graphics. The processor is 22 percent smaller than the A5, and will enable programs such as Pages and Keynote to launch nearly twice as fast. The image processor in the A6...
At its press event today, Apple announced the new iPhone 5 with a 4-inch, Retina display. For customers, the larger screen means there's extra room for apps to display their content. The most noticeable difference will be the homescreen, which will now display five rows of icons. This extra screen real estate allows built-in apps...
