The iOS 4.1 release yesterday included the much anticipated fix for the finicky proximity sensory. So far it looks like it’s been fixed. I’ve been trying very hard while on calls to move the phone around, switch ears, hold it with my shoulder, etc… so far so good. I’ll give it another day or so […]

Today’s Apple iPhone 4 press conference tried to qualm the completely overblown antenna issue that’s been making headlines the past few weeks. Free cases and bumper refunds should make a few people happy at least. What I was most excited about though is that Apple admitted it was working on a fix for my oh […]

Hopefully this fix that’s supposed to be released in a few weeks will resolve the proximity sensor issue as well: Read it here. And a great play by play translation of the letter here. 🙂

The iPhone 4 has the joy of being by far the best selling product launch in Apple’s history. It’s also has the pleasure of receiving the largest number of complaints… and yours truly is chiming in! The antenna/signal issue seems to be the most talked about problem that’s making the rounds but the one I’ve […]

I think everyone already knows that the iPhone 4 is a great device. I almost hate to call it a phone because I use it’s phone capabilities about 20% of the time. A more fitting description of the iPhone would be a “personal digital media and communications device” instead of merely a phone but somehow […]

OK so I got my iPhone 4 today. Synced up my old phone once. Popped the new one in and about 45 minutes later after everything transferred over I was up and running. My 20 minute of usage review: Display is amazingly sharp and bright. Text renders very crisp. Camera is very fast and takes […]

While I eagerly await my iPhone 4 to arrive this Thursday, I do get to whet my appetite with the new iOS 4 which was released earlier today on my existing 3GS. Weighing in at 378 MB total the update took about 25 minutes from download to update to the phone rebooting. Once the phone […]

One of the new features in the new iPhone 4 is the addition of a 3-axis gyro sensor. I mentioned in my original highlights post that you really need to see it in action to understand what it’s capable of doing in an application. Well the WWDC 2010 video is out and if you tune […]

The 2010 WWDC is over and the iPhone 4 was announced. Here’s a quick overview of the new features: Front facing camera for video calls called “FaceTime“. Works only with the new phone and only on WiFi. You can also flip the video to stream content from the rear camera if you want to show […]

I love these clear and concisely written monologues by Steve Jobs. Any decent Mac developer (or otherwise) could have most likely told you what’s related in this well written piece, but this one is for all those who still just don’t get it. Read and learn.

So the big news today in the iTunes App Store is the inclusion of the Opera Mini web browser for the iPhone. It would seem many are quite surprised that Apple didn’t reject this from the store. After all why accept an application that is directly competing with Apple’s own built in Safari browser? Opera […]

Looks like the latest 2.2 update for the iPhone brought back the very much missed “Update All” button from the App Store’s Updates section. Not sure why it ever disappeared in the first place so let’s hope it stays for good this time around.

I’ve owned three iPod’s since its inception and each one has served me wonderfully whether it be at home, traveling, at the gym or in the car. There are numerous ways to get your iPod to play over your car speakers but my preferred method is to utilize the line out on the iPod and […]

So now that it’s official, we’re all loving the specs of the soon to be released second revision of the iPhone. 3G, GPS, better battery life and third party apps. All great additions to an already outstanding device. Back in early November I posted an entry entitled: Three iPhone features Apple missed. Shortly after, Apple […]

Yesterday at MacWorld Apple released a firmware update for the iPhone which fixed two of the three key missing features (see my previous post) I was missing on my iPhone. I can now send text messages to multiple recipients and view my song lyrics. Thanks Apple! All that’s left missing now is MMS support. Almost […]

I usually try not to rehash mac news that are more than well covered on the many popular mac news sites, however this one I wanted to comment on. Wired Magazine has an excellent article detailing how the iPhone came to be from it’s point of conception to the worldwide phenomenon it has become today. I always find these types of […]
