Would Your iPhone’s Siri Usage Increase Your Phone Bill?

Siri—the equally impressive and gimmicky iPhone 4S’ smart assistant—connects to Apple’s servers every time you ask for something or dictate a message. It sends your query and analyzes it, returning you whatever it thinks is the correct answer or action. https://gizmodo.com/real-life-iphone-4s-siri-demonstration-is-pretty-damn-i-5848584 This means that, depending on how much you use it, it may affect your…

November 1st and iOS 5 Hasn’t Fixed the F*cking 1 On the iPhone’s Calendar

You know, after putting so much care in adjusting imperceptible little tiny bitty details of iOS 5’s user interface, I expected that Apple would have fixed its most annoying design fault yet: THE BLOODY OFF-CENTER NUMBER 1 IN THE CALENDAR ICON. https://gizmodo.com/did-you-notice-these-design-changes-in-ios-5-5854923 So once again, here’s the rant.

The iPhone Could Be Getting a Native Gmail App

According to MG Siegler, Google has submitted an official Gmail app to the iOS App Store for approval, which would finally bring some of Gmail’s more awesome features to iPhone (and hopefully iPad) users.

What’s Really Killing Your iPhone 4S Battery?

Battery performance on the iPhone 4S isn’t quite as good as it was on the iPhone 4. Some chalk it up to the more power hungry dual-core processor, which makes sense. Kind of.

Your fancy new iPhone deserves a fancy new case lest it get dinged, scratched or covered in unsightly fingerprints.
