[Full iPhone 4S Review] The Apple iPhone 4S was released in October 2011 for Verizon, AT&T and now Sprint. The latest iPhone now sports the Apple A5 chip which was used in the iPad 2 and 1GB of RAM, making it quite a bit faster than its predecessor. It will ship preloaded with iOS 5, the latest version of the popular Apple operating system with over 200 new features and a new voice operated assistant called "Siri". The iPhone 4S also features 2 cameras, one VGA front facing camera for video chat and an improved eight-megapixel camera capable of 1080p HD video capture. Read on for the latest Apple iPhone 4S news, reviews and videos:

by Anton D. Nagy | May 24, 2012 3:28 AMMagistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero was appointed to oversee settlement talks between Apple and Samsung -- ordered by Judge Lucy Koh from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California -- over the course of two days on Monday and Tuesday, May 21 and 22. This might come as no surprise to you but the two giants have not reached an agreement, according to reports. Samsung's CEO Choi Gee-sung and Head of the firm’s Mobile Division, Shin Jong-kyun, were present at the meeting on behalf of the South Korean manufacturer and Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, represented the Cupertino-co...

by Jaime Rivera | May 23, 2012 8:00 AMiOS is not perfect. Those who blindly defend it are either new to the smartphone market or simply want to troll their way around reality. After we've talked about the things that frustrate some of us about Windows Phone and Android, it's time to talk about Cupertino's favorite baby. I come from a time when Multi-tasking wasn't considered a feature, since it didn't even make sense to release an OS that didn't offer a way to work around apps. I'm not sure how Apple was able to sell so many iPhones and iPads when they couldn't do this, but I stayed away from them until they figured that out. I...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 22, 2012 4:36 AMLast week we told you that the lucky folks in Canada are able to download Facebook Pages Manager for iPhone from the iTunes App Store. Now it's time for some U.S. software market love and if you own a Facebook page, or you are an administrator, this app should definitely be on your must-have list! With the Facebook app's main concept in mind, Facebook Pages Manager allows you to manage (even) multiple pages as once. You can also post new updates and photos as your Page, get notified about new activity on your Page when it happens, respond, post and comment as your Page while you’re on-the-g...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 18, 2012 4:28 AMYou might want to treat this with a small dose of skepticism, at least until we hear official wording from Sprint itself, but according to the leaked document pictured above, Sprint will start offering iPhone trade-in credit given you grab the latest iPhone 4S. The program should kick off today and run through June 30; it should address both new and existing customers, given you sign a two-year contract and add a new line. At least $100 is what you'll get in credit for any iPhone, the exact amount probably depending on the model, condition and specs (as in internal storage). If you fancy an...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 17, 2012 3:24 AMIf you are a Facebook user who happens to also be an administrator of a Facebook page you really have very limited options in managing your page using the dedicated Facebook application on your iPhone. Luckily a Facebook Pages Manager for iPhone is coming soon -- the Canadian App Store already has it -- to answer all your admin needs. As far as the application's aspect is concerned it looks pretty much like your ordinary Facebook App. You have the left drawer which now exposes all your Facebook Pages -- yes, you can manage multiple pages from the same app -- as well as Insights, which is a ...

by Jaime Rivera | May 15, 2012 8:00 AMAs a geek, it's sometimes hard for me or many of us to leave the tech bubble that we're surrounded with in order to understand why the average consumer sees things differently. Our own passion for gadgets pushes us to swap phones constantly, where as the average user signs a contract for one phone they won't be able to change for the next two years. With such a huge commitment, it's still an illogical mystery to many how Apple was able to push their iPhone from complete in-existence to being the top selling smartphone in the world. I say illogical because it was significantly more expensive th...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 15, 2012 2:31 AMIf you recently fired up the Facebook application on your iPhone or Android-powered device you probably noticed that there are some welcome changes. The overall design has been tweaked for better display and readability and the new changes affect both the ways posts are displayed as well as images. First of all photos being displayed are up to three times larger, depending on their original size. Couple that together with the fact that posts will now entirely fill your screen, from edge to edge, when viewing and you've got a rather fresh look. In addition, browsing Facebook with the dedicat...

by Stephen Schenck | May 3, 2012 1:10 PMWhen you're going shopping in a retail setting, you expect salespeople to have strong, well-formed opinions about the products they're selling. That's why it's great to find a knowledgeable salesperson when you're still undecided about what you're looking for, drawing upon their expertise to help you find the right product for you. What happens, though, when there seems to be a concerted effort among these workers to discourage customers from buying entire families of products? That may be what's going on now at Verizon stores, with reports that employees are discouraging customers from buying...

Nagy | April 30, 2012 9:31 AMSkype is an excellent way to keep in touch with your friends, co-workers and family especially if you're using it over WiFi or an unlimited data plan, resulting in free Skype-to-Skype calls.

Additionally, the app now auto restarts if unexpectedly shut down, accessibility has been improved, same goes for stab...

by Anton D. Nagy | April 15, 2012 2:22 AMThe iPhone 4S might look exactly like the predecessor but it packs a faster A5 dual-core processor, an improved camera and antenna. Some owners of 16GB iPhone 4 units might get lucky and instead of replacement get an upgrade to the 4S. This could all be due to inventory shortages and, according to reports citing multiple sources, Apple Store Genius Bars have been instructed to replace iPhone 4 models with the latest iPhone 4S if the store is lacking white iPhone 4 16GB replacements units. The situation might not apply to all stores but the sources mention those in the U.S. and Canada. The 4...

by Stephen Schenck | April 6, 2012 3:08 PMSubsidized smartphone prices represent a deal struck between consumers and the carriers: you commit to use their wireless services for a prescribed period of time, and in turn get a nice chunk of change knocked-off the upfront price of your handset. Once that time's up, the idea is that your monthly service bills have offset the carrier's earlier investment, leaving the two of you square. At least, that's the way it's supposed to work, but not all carriers are happy to call things even and let you do what you want with your phone once your contract is fulfilled. AT&T's been one of the most not...

by Stephen Schenck | April 4, 2012 10:58 AMApple's launch of the iPhone 4S last fall saw the smartphone coming to more carriers in the US than ever before. Not only was the phone available on AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint, but we saw regional carrier C Spire offer the handset, as well. Today, we learn of plans to being the phone to a pair of other smaller carriers, starting April 20. The next two networks to get their hands on the iPhone will be Alaska Communications and nTelos, operating in and around Virginia. Both carriers will be offering the iPhone 4S in its 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB configurations, as well as an 8GB iPhone 4 option for...

In today's show we begin by talking about our coverage, which includes our full review of Apple's New iPad, our recent comparison video between it and the iPad 2 and even Apple's first iPad, and Michael Fisher's editorials surrounding this new tablet. We later have a look at IGN's recent benchmarks where they show that Apple's A5X and even their old A5 beats NVIDIA's Tegra 3 in graphics. We then go through all the rumors surrounding a 5-inch Retina Display that Apple is probably ...

by Anton D. Nagy | March 29, 2012 2:57 AMRegardless if you are using a PC or a Mac, if you have an iPhone or an iPad, you occasionally need to use Apple's iTunes application to sync and update software (if you manage your libraries with something else). A new version of iTunes has been released and, as usual, it is always good to have the latest one installed. It "fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view, and syncing photos to devices". Additionally, it "addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and ...

by Anton D. Nagy | March 28, 2012 5:08 AMOne of the great features of iOS 5.1 is the addition of a Camera button on the Lock Screen. You no longer have to double-tap the Home Button to unveil it but instead you just slide the icon up, a la Windows Phone, and the Camera is activated. But what if you don't have iOS 5.1 (for whatever reason)? With Camera Grabber for iOS 5, you can have the same Lock Screen functionality. Needless to say that your iPhone has to be jailbroken but if that's not a problem, head over to the source link below (or search the Cydia ModMyi Repo) to grab it for free.
