Iphone 5 News & Articles

Photos and video are so easy to shoot on phones, it is easy to overlook the quality differences, and few of us shoot enough video across devices to compare the results. So, Nokia is taking its message to the streets (well, YouTube) with direct comparisons against rival models.

How's this for flat design, Apple's latest iOS update improves precisely one feature for one model of iPhone. Flat? Largely redundant more like. 

 Apple will release a new unlocked model of the iPhone 5 in its own stores and through T-Mobile in a couple of weeks, adding advanced wireless services for improved LTE performance. 

 Apple has finally released its third iOS update in around a month, this time to combat those using the Evasi0n tool to jailbreak their devices.

       While it may not be the best-selling device or be the most used ecosystem, Apple can lay claim to iPhone being the most profitable smartphone on the market, and now the most used device for those accessing the mobile Internet. 

       Those on LTE networks with the latest model iOS devices get better support from the new Apple update, while Passbook, iTunes Match and a few other features get a quick touch-up. 

 The knives have been well and truly out for Apple ahead of today's earnings call, with analysts predicting relatively weak numbers. Yet, Verizon, AT&T and others are reporting huge iPhone sales in their latest reports as earnings season gets into top gear, but that might not be enough to help push Apple's usually stellar numbers. 

 Information released over the weekend shows Samsung's Galaxy range ship over 100 million units, with a new Titanium model going on-sale, while Apple is supposed to be reducing build orders for the iPhone 5. The Galaxy range now has massive appeal across the board, while Apple's take-our-model-or-leave-it approach may now be starting to bite.

From the success of Passbook to the gloom of Maps, and the dings on the new iPhone and confused iPad updates, Apple has had a mixed year, but will have learned some lessons for 2013. 

It’s that time of year again. In lieu of sending everyone a new sweater, publications’ gifts to their readers are “best of the year” lists. This year’s end-of-year summaries from Time magazine, one of the most venerable list-makers, include compilations of Top 10 Gadgets and Top 10 Apps. 

 Despite the lack of huge queues and choatic scenes, Apple has announced sales of two million units to Chinese customers over the three-day launch period of the iPhone 5. But now all eyes will be on Apple's plans for 2013. 

Apple's beleaguered Maps app users get another warning, this time from Australian Police, called out to rescue several lost travellers in recent months trying to navigate a Victoria State National Park. 

 The iPad Mini has gone onsale in China and, aside from the gangs snapping them up for resale or export, there was little in the way of consumer interest for Apple's baby tablet. 

       Showing just how important the global stage is to all tech players, Apple has rolled out iTunes with local artists to many new territories, while China Unicom bags 100,000 pre-orders on day one for the iPhone 5. 

 The lure of huge sales has seen Apple carefully negotiate its way into the Chinese market, and now it is ready to go with its latest products, bringing the iPhone 5 to local networks.
