AT&T Taking Pity on Recent iPhone 3GS Buyers With Upgrade Offer

As part of a “one-time Customer Price Protection” program, AT&T is helping the poor suckers who bought an iPhone 3GS in the month before the iPhone 4 was re-revealed.

Fidelio iPhone Dock Could Have Been Designed By Botticelli

The fact that this new Fidelio line of speaker docks from Philips first and foremost remind me of The Birth of Venus probably means I have an unhealthy relationship with my iPhone. My personal issues aside, though, they’re pretty beautiful. The Fidelio line has reportedly been kicking around in Apple stores already—and had gotten a…

First Broken iPhone 4 Screen

The iPhone is made of aluminosilicate glass. Apple says it’s “chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic” and it’s “ultradurable and more scratch resistant than ever.” Still not enough to survive a 3.5-foot drop. That’s what the people at iFixyouri did: Test Apple’s claims by dropping the iPhone 4…

A Palm-to-Apple Defection to Be Thrilled About

It’s kinda unbelievable that the iPhone still uses modal popups that completely interrupt what you’re doing for notifications. But hope comes in the form of treachery: Rich Dellinger, who designed the Pre’s elegant background notifications, is going to Apple. [PreCentral]

Apple Hates Ads…Unless They’re the Ones Selling Them

Apple isn’t exactly a company known for its modesty. But with the introduction of Safari Reader, Apple’s made a doozy: Every ad on the web is a distraction from content. Big talk from a newly minted ad company. Apple loves talking about how much it supports the open web, vis-à-vis the buzzy but murkily qualified…

Can Apple’s stock beat the new iPhone curse this time? For the last three years, Apple’s stock fell during the month following a new iPhone announcement.

Cellphone Inventor Finds iPhone 4 Underwhelming

Marty Cooper invented the cellphone. So when the man weighs in on iPhone 4, I’m inclined to hear him out. Initial verdict? Unimpressed. Cooper’s tweet in some ways states what we’ve suspected: Apple’s still ahead of the pack, but serious competitors like the Evo 4G mean that, more and more, Apple’s main advantage is its…
