Posted: 18 Sep 2012 06:22 PM PDT

While most folks, including us, will have to wait until Friday to get their hands on the iPhone 5, a select group of journalists have been using the handset in secret for several days.

These writers were given early access to the new iPhone so they could post full-length reviews of the smartphone before it launches this week. And a lot of these posts just went live…

How to get ready for tomorrow’s iOS 6 release

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 04:01 PM PDT

Last week, Apple announced that it would be releasing the latest version of its mobile operating system, iOS 6, on September 19th. And for those of you without a calendar in front of you, that’s tomorrow.

Of course, Apple has been seeding developer betas of iOS 6 since June, but this is the first time it will be available to the public. So we thought we’d put this list together of things to help you get ready…(...)

Good news for all of you folks who pre-ordered an iPhone 5, or plan on picking one up on launch day. Developers are reporting that Apple is pushing through app updates for the handset at a rapid pace.

iFixit tears down Apple’s new EarPods

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 01:20 PM PDT

In addition to a new iPhone, and iPods, Apple also unveiled a new set of headphones last week. Dubbed “EarPods,” the company said that it spent more than three years developing the accessory.

Today, the team over at iFixit performed their usual teardown of the headphones, and published an extensive report of its findings. And as you can imagine, some of it is rather interesting…(...)

It doesn’t take a genius indeed

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 12:31 PM PDT

You’ve seen Samsung’s anti-iPhone newspaper ad (and a Nokia fan’s take) that takes a jab at the incoming iPhone 5.

The advertisement has caused quite a stir with its “it doesn’t take a genius” tagline (an obvious reference to Apple Store Geniuses) and a laundry list of features focusing on the bigger display on the Galaxy SIII, twice the RAM and stuff like standard micro-USB plug, expandable SD card storage and swappable battery.

Taking a page from Samsung marketing department’s book, an Apple fan created a spoof that goes a long way proving that a spec matrix can often be a double-edged sword…(...)

iPhone 5 unboxed

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 12:21 PM PDT

Well, it looks like the photo of the iPhone 5 box we posted earlier today is definitely legit. This, after BGR posts what they claim to be the world’s first iPhone 5 unboxing.

I always thought that unboxings were only for video, but I guess they can appear in photo form as well. We look forward to bringing you a video unboxing, but in the meantime, these shots are admittedly pretty mouth watering.(...)

iPhone 5 box art

Someone sent this to me in an email just a few minutes ago.

This is, apparently, the box art for the new iPhone 5. How do you think it stacks up to previous box art?(...)

How to “steal” an upgrade from someone else on your wireless plan

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 09:03 AM PDT

Many of you have likely ran into this conundrum: Someone on your wireless plan is eligible for an upgrade, but couldn’t care less about upgrading their phone. With this in mind, you’d like to use their upgrade to upgrade your phone.

I actually encountered this issue myself, but I wasn’t quite sure how to proceed with it. If I upgraded my wife’s phone, but planned to take her upgrade to use for myself, how would I get a Nano SIM card containing my information, and not hers?

This wouldn’t be much of an issue if the iPhone 5 used the same Micro SIM as the iPhone 4S, otherwise, I’d just swap out my Micro SIM into the iPhone 5. But since the iPhone 5 uses a brand new SIM card, this obviously presents a problem.

How do you go about handling the issue? As it turns out, if you’re an AT&T customer, it’s probably a lot easier than you might have expected…(...)

Net neutrality complaint over AT&T FaceTime blocking looms

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 08:43 AM PDT

AT&T’s initial decision to charge for FaceTime video calls made over its cellular network and the subsequently tweaked rules mandating that FaceTime over cellular users sign up for AT&T’s Mobile Share plans both provoked a public outrage which almost snowballed into a PR catastrophe.

Deciding someone should take the nation’s biggest carrier to task for taking advantage of its unsuspecting customers, advocacy group Public Knowledge (PG) figured that AT&T’s policy violates net neutrality rules by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The group is mulling an investigation into AT&T’s practices as Public Knowledge, Free Press and the New America Foundation's Open Technology Institute all plan to file a complaint with the FCC for AT&T’s violation of network neutrality rules…(...)

Apple said to be building an enormous super data center in Hong Kong

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 08:16 AM PDT

Apple’s already building another 500,000 square foot data center and a smaller tactical data center, both adjacent to its existing $1 billion iCloud facility in Maiden, North Carolina (which almost didn’t get built). In addition, the company operates a data center in Newark, California and has revealed plans to build another 500,000 square feet data center in Prineville, Oregon and an additional $1 billion facility in Reno, Nevada. And if that wasn’t enough, a report out this morning has it that another massive data center will crop up in Hong Kong SAR, China…(...)
