Sure, sure, AT&T added another 1.9 million subscribers and activated 2.7 million new iPhones. But the most interesting slide in their earnings statement was the one detailing, statistically, how much less they suck. With graphs and stuff. The improvements are indeed caveat-loaded.

Warning: iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 2 Is Not a Toy

iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 2 slipped into the iPhone Dev Center earlier, but unless you’re a developer and really need to test apps, it’s best to skip this extra buggy beta and just keep playing around with the first. https://gizmodo.com/iphone-os-4-0-beta-2-is-here-5520760 I realize that you’re curious—after all iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 1 was full of new…

The Next iPhone, Dissected

We took apart the next iPhone. There are a number of interesting facts gained from the dissection, the most important of which is more concrete confirmation (as if we needed any more) that this phone is from Apple.

Why Didn’t Anybody Ask Apple About the Lost iPhone?

Apple’s quarterly earnings reports provide a rare opportunity for financial analysts to publicly pose questions to Apple executives.

They’re concerned about things like revenues and profits and margins. You know, money.…

Apple Didn’t Leak the iPhone—and Why That Matters

A controlled leak? The lost iPhone planted by Apple? You have no idea how Apple PR works—and how, like it or not, Gizmodo finally beat them at their own game. The only way the iPhone 4 was a controlled leak is if Apple has completely upended its PR strategy, which is the envy of the…

Why Apple Couldn’t Get the Lost iPhone Back

It’s such an obvious question: Why couldn’t Apple track this phone down? As it turns out, they may have had two chances to get it back—and blown them both. https://gizmodo.com/this-is-apples-next-iphone-5520164 The timeline of the night goes something like this: On March 18th, an Apple engineer with a top-secret, next-generation iPhone prototype went to a bar.…

“Leady Apple” Phone Shows Off Chinese iPhone Knockoff Industry’s Softer Side

Is this yet another iPhone knockoff, a cosmetics mirror, or some super-secret prototype that proves Apple is getting into networked birth control case design? Shoot, how about all three?
