Today's WWDC 2013 keynote kicked off much how we were expecting it to, and after Apple spent a few minutes talking about the state of iOS/OS X union, as it were, it jumped right in to the new OS X, which it's calling Mavericks. While there was some very cool stuff there, we're just a smidge more interested in the mobile side of things. Luckily for us, after it got done showing-off a slew of its new computers, Apple officially announced iOS 7. Tim Cook started by bringing us up to speed with some iOS stats. Apple's sold 600 million devices running the platform since its inception, and ...

There's plenty of last-minute debate over just what will and won't show up at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference next week, but the one product that hardly anyone's strongly campaigning for is the iPhone 5S. It's not that we don't expect a new iPhone sometime this year, but the rumors have made an announcement at this point sound a bit premature. Some had talked about the idea of a launch in September, but today we get another assessment of when Apple could finally pull the curtain back on the successor to the iPhone 5, as well as looks at a few more components attributed to the ...

Update: Due to technical difficulties, Stephen Schenck will not be able to join the Hangout today. Topic Next up on the list of major players to hold an event is the iPhone-maker. Apple WWDC 2013 is happening on Monday, June 10, and there have been lots of rumors, some even conflicting, regarding the event. Tim Cook almost confirmed iOS 7 for Apple WWDC 2013 and we know for quite some time that Johnny Ive is working on the project. Will it be something completely new or just a flatter version of iOS 6 is yet unknown. Then there are rumors of Apple's upcoming, alleged, streaming radio ...

Some of the biggest stories to break this week dealt with leaks concerning the US and its domestic intelligence gathering efforts. First it was revealed that Verizon was sharing vast quantities of call data with the NSA, followed yesterday by claims of a far broader effort, dubbed PRISM. From the sound of things, PRISM was being run with the cooperation of a number of tech companies, giving the government unfettered backdoor access to their systems. Now a few of those companies named in the leaks are speaking up, protesting their innocence. While these companies will grant legitimate, ...

A story we covered yesterday afternoon presented the case that files on your iPhone, placed their by Apple, contained settings pertinent to many of the major US carriers that seemed to indicate that Apple was being complicit in artificially limiting data speeds. While that analysis was accompanied by a bunch of evidence, a new report is out today refuting many of the findings, claiming that the data was quite thoroughly misinterpreted and that it makes no case for there being any secret throttling going on. The problem with so many of the settings contained in the relevant files is that ...

It's tough to be Apple these days. You'd say why, right? They're still the most valuable tech company in the world, they sell millions of iPhones, iPads and apps every month, and they're sitting on a pile of cash that's big enough to end the national debt of many countries, so why should it be that things are tough for them if they're on a high? Well, it mainly has to do with what Apple may or may not do with iOS 7 on WWDC this Monday, and those of you who watched the first trilogy of Spiderman movies remember a phrase that Uncle Ben would always say to Peter Parker: "With great power ...

A few days back we heard about Apple's plans to start performing certain iPhone repairs right in its retail stores, rather than taking the expense of shipping handsets off for refurbishment. The big service that's kicking-off this new direction is the replacement of displays for the iPhone 5, which Apple's offering to do in-store for about $150. Lest the idea of a retail employee prying apart your iPhone in a back room starts making you a bit nervous, today we get a small glimpse into what equipment Apple is using to deliver this service, hopefully convincing you that the company's taking ...
