While AT&T won’t be announcing their Q4 2012 financial results until January 24, they just couldn’t help but slip out a teaser regarding record smartphone sales in the quarter. How record- 10 million devices, up from 9.4 million in Q4 2011. That includes iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone, but based on previous quarters, that’s likely [...]

Last night, during their CES 2013 press conference, graphics powerhouse NVIDIA announced their Project Shield gaming platform. It’s running a close-to-stock version of Android, and will run Android apps. It’s play Steam games (!!!). And you can play PC games using project shield as the controller. Phil Nickinson from Android Central has already gone hands-on [...]
With Google’s latest generation of better designed iOS apps, including Google+, Gmail, YouTube, Google Search, Google Maps, Chrome, and more, the iPhone 5 is once again among the very best Google phones on the planet. iOS may not enjoy the deep integration into everything Google that Android does, but for most things, the overall performance [...]

CES is one of the biggest consumer electronic shows on the planet, and the sheer amount of technology crammed into the Las Vegas Convention Center and environs for the week is beyond stupefying. Apple’s not here, of course, but iOS accessories and even some apps abound. Everything is becoming connected and mobile, and a lot [...]
The CES 2013 show floor doesn’t open until Tuesday but Sunday saw CES Unveiled. There was an incredibly diverse range of product, which is great, but unfortunately that also means there wasn’t too much iOS specific. Still, iMore was on hand to take a look. Tomorrow brings Mobile Focus, so hopefully there’ll be more iPhone [...]
I’m sitting at Montreal’s Trudeau (formerly Dorval) Airport at Air Canada gate C74 waiting for my flight to Las Vegas. It’s the new year, and that means it’s time for the Consumer Electronic Show (CES), one of the largest, most insane trade shows in North America. I’ll be there along with our how-to editor, Ally [...]
Guy and Rene talk to the Iconfactory’s Craig Hockenberry and Sean Heber about Twitterrific 5, the early days of the iPhone, Chameleon, beefs with nibs, underscores, colons, and turn area operators, App Store realities, and the importance of blame avoidance optimization. type=”audio/mpeg”> Subscribe via iTunes Subscribe via RSS Download Directly Guests Craig Hockenberry (@chockenberrry)) Sean [...]
Marvel Comics Unlimited is a Netflix-like service that lets you subscribe to and consume huge quantities of catalog titles. Like Netflix, it isn’t the new stuff, and the old stuff is rife with content gaps, but unlike Netflix, until now Marvel Comics Unlimited was locked into Adobe’s Flash player, and that meant it couldn’t work [...]
Don Melton, who was originally tasked by Scott Forstall to create WebKit and the Safari browser for OS X, and later WebKit of iOS, has retired from his job as engineering director of internet technologies, and begun writing. One of his writing projects is a blog, and two of his recent posts shed some light [...]
![What features would you want in an iWatch- [Poll]](http://iphoneheadlines.com/images/2013/01/what-features-would-you-want-in-an-iwatch-poll_onltu_0.jpg)
What features would you want in an iWatch- Given the recent rumors about an iWatch, we wanted to take a moment and you, the smartest iOS enthusiast community on the planet, what features you’d like to see in such a device, were Apple ever to release such a thing. Assuming it could link to our [...]
Kevin, Phil, Daniel, and Rene talk about CES 2013, what they expect to see, and whether it’s still relevant, then fight about ActiveSync, RIM vs. Microsoft, and what they want to see from Apple, Google, and everyone going forward! Apologies for the video quality, we experienced severe technical problems during the recording of the show, [...]
Tap Tap Revolution began what became one of the first big gaming franchises on the iPhone. Created by Nate True, Tap Tap Revolution was developed over the course of two days, and released on September 11, 2007, not even 3 months after the original iPhone launched, and roughly a month before Steve Jobs’ open letter [...]

Getting cranky phone calls from Steve Jobs demanding to know why you’re wasting his time with 100 pages on keyboards. Being told by your chief technology officer that you’re crazy for giving in to Apple. Having to tell people you’re betting on Jobs, not some unseen, unknown future device. That’s just some of what AT&T [...]
Canonical, the benevolent dictators behind the most consumer-friendly version of Linux, have announced a new, mobile version of their Ubantu distro and their intent to release Ubantu phones. Make all the “year of Linux on desktop” or “yet another LiMo” jokes you want, but as someone who loves mobile software, I’m interested to see what [...]
Twitterrific was the first native social networking client on the iPhone. Created by Craig Hockenberry and Gedeon Maheux of the Iconfactory, it began as the Mobile Twitterrific project in August of 2007, only two short months after the original iPhone shipped, and well before Apple announced even the plan for an official SDK. Development started [...]
I had the pleasure of joining Myke Hurley on his CMD + Space podcast today to chat about Apple, podcasting, and blogging. If you’re interested in some of what goes on behind the scenes in our industry, give it a listen. This week Myke talks to Rene Ritchie, Editor in Chief on iMore. They discuss [...]
There are some rumors going around that Apple is considering the purchase of crowd-sourced mapping app Waze. Apple has a ton of cash, and can certainly buy Waze if that’s what both parties want, the way Apple bought Chomp, Color, Polar Rose, Siri, and other companies over the years. Mike Butcher of TechCrunch writes: So [...]

Apple is working on iOS 7 and the next generation iPhone 6,1. Shocking, I know, considering Apple has released a new version of iOS and a new iPhone each year, every year, since 2007. However, the web being the web, stories are popping up today, and tips are coming in, helpfully reminding us all of [...]
Lights Off was the first native game made available for the iPhone. It launched in August of 2007, only two months after the original iPhone went on sale, and 10 months before the official App Store launched. It was created by Lucas Newman, a developer at Delicious Monster at the time, and designer Adam Betts. [...]
Any sufficiently large company is indistinguishable from evil. That’s not a condemnation, it’s a realization that, as a company grows, the likelihood that their every policy and decision will lineup with the best interests of a majority, much less all of their users. That’s true of Apple, who makes our devices and the platforms they [...]
We do a lot of podcasts, both at iMore and at the Mobile Nations network in general. Any given week, we’re putting out 5 or more hours of audio and video. Multiply that by the course of year, add in some trade show coverage, cross-overs, and appearances on other networks, and you get the idea. [...]
Apple has aired a new ad for the iPhone 5, this time focused on the Do Not Disturb feature that lets you turn off Notification Center alerts for set periods of time. Just turn on Do Not Disturb and your iPhone 5 knows not to ring, unless it’s a call you really want. Apple has [...]
Mobile Nations was founded on the idea of helping readers get the most out of their devices, and that’s why how-to tips and guides have been a staple of all of our sites, including iMore, from the very beginning. In 2012 Apple released more devices, and iOS came to include more features than ever before. [...]
Proving once again that even the latest, greatest iOS time-based feature can fail in the face of simple change, tons of reports are flying around the internet that Do Not Disturb — the feature that lets you mute Notification Center alerts during specified, usually nighttime, periods — stopped working at some point between 2012 and [...]
It’s been a hell of a year. In 2012, with your help and support, we changed our name to iMore and relaunched on a powerful new platform with fantastic new forums. We released the official iMore app and some forum apps to go with it. We broke a bunch of news and wrote a bunch [...]
When Steve Jobs introduced the original iPhone on the Macworld stage in 2007, he teased it as a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough internet communicator. Back then, many people were excited about the idea of an Apple phone. In hindsight, the phone app turned out to be one of the least exciting [...]
Neither the world, nor the web, lives by news alone. 2012 had more than its fair share of new apps and devices, of major triumphs and tragedies, but to go along with all the facts and specs, to counterpoint the news, iMore published a slew of views and opinions, reviews and comparisons. So, once again, [...]
As 2012 comes to an end it seems fitting to reflect back on the events that molded and shaped it, and in iMore’s case, that means the biggest iPhone, iPad, and Apple news stories of the year. So, we cracked open the analytics, sorted by popularity, and compiled a list of the your top 5 [...]
type=”audio/mpeg”> Rene and Georgia have taken a double-dose of Melange and wired up their precog hats to talk Apple in 2013, and preview everything from iWatches to iTVs, bigger screened iPhones to thinner iPads, Retina iPad minis to Retina Macs, and iOS 7 to Apple online services. This is the iMore show! Subscribe via iTunes: [...]
Looks like the iPad mini is proving as popular in Hong Kong and China as it’d been in western markets. Yup, despite the lack of a Retina display, and complaints that it’s not as “cheap” as a deeply subsidized Google or Amazon tablet, Apple can’t keep them on the shelves. John Paczkowski of AllThingsD cites [...]
2012 is just about over, and that means a new year, and all sorts of incredible new stuff, is almost here. Join me and Georgia tonight on the iMore show for our official 2013 preview show. We’ll be talking Apple watches and Apple televisions, iOS 7, a Retina iPad mini, a skinny iPad 5, the [...]
I’ve always been of the mindset that halls of fame should matter. It should take time to qualify, so impact and importance can be weighed with the full context and clarity of history. It should also be limited, so that those who change the way we think and feel, who inspire and innovate, who challenge [...]
Working conditions at the Chinese factories operated by Foxconn, where vast amounts of the gadgets used around the world are made, including Apple’s iPhone and iPad, are improving. Granted, that’s going from truly terrible to slightly less bad, but it’s movement and momentum in a direction decidedly better for the people who make the stuff [...]
New York City mayer Michael Bloomberg, during his Friday morning radio address, seems to have laid the blame for a slight elevation in the crime rate on Apple’s doorstep. More precisely, on the pilfering of iPhones and iPads. Michael M. Grynbaum of the New York Times quotes Marc La Vorgna, the mayor’s press secretary, as [...]
