Apple Inc. has long denied the possibility of a 7-inch iPad to counter Android-based tablets tormenting the Cupertino-based tech giant with their low prices.

Apple's Siri is a fantastic new AI application, but it unfortunately can't write tweets. Thankfully, there's a simply workaround for that, and it just takes six easy steps.

The patent war continues.

The battle between high-end smartphones got hotter still after the iPhone 4S became available in stores on Friday. While the iPhone 4S is not the iPhone 5 that was forecast by rumor mills, it is certainly not a lesser device. The phone has significant hardware upgrades even though it looks identical to the iPhone 4.

With the tethered jailbreak, the user needs to reconnect the device to a Windows or Mac computer each time it needs to be booted. But an untethered jailbreak allows the device to be powered without computer assistance. So what about an untethered jailbreak for the iOS 5? Reports said an untethered iOS 5 jailbreak in the making.

There were rumors that Apple Inc. has sold 4 million units of iPhone 4S during the weekend but officially it is known that pre-orders reached 1 million mark.

South Korea-based Samsung Electronics Co., which has so far been on the defensive in its ongoing patent battle with Apple Inc., has finally launched an attack of its own on its Cupertino-based rival.

Google Voice has been removed from Apple’s App Store, keeping in mind the application’s propensity to crash, when used on Apple's new operating system - the iOS 5.

Though Apple Inc. claims the new iPhone 4S' unlocked version will hit the stores only in November, reports suggest a contract-free iOS 5-powered device is already on sale.

Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (005930.KS) said on Monday that it has filed preliminary injunction motions in Australia and Japan requesting the courts stop the sale of Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) iPhone 4S in an escalating legal battle between the two technology giants.

Apple’s iPhone 4S, which released on Friday instead of an iPhone 5 nudged away most of the speculations developed around it for a while.

If you have successfully jailbroken the beta version of iOS 5 on your iPhone, it is highly likely that you were confronted with the quarter screen issue, in which the full screen display gets shrunk to fit in one quarter of the screen.

Amid tight security and an elite gathering, Apple Inc.'s late co-founder', Steve Jobs', memorial was held on Sunday evening, at the Memorial Church on Stanford University.

Silicon Valley luminaries, politicians and celebrities were among the several hundred people at a private memorial service for late Apple Inc co-founder and tech visionary Steve Jobs on Sunday.

Steve Jobs, the former Apple CEO, was honored in the middle of tight security by mourners including Google chief executive Larry Page, media mogul Rupert Murdoch and former Vice President Al Gore, an Apple board member.

Apple was able to dodge concerns that its new iPhone 4S underwhelmed as anticipation leaned towards a new iPhone 5, but record sales is reassuring not only Apple, but Sony.

Though the iPhone 4S looks like an older sibling of the iPhone 4, it has a stronger processor and better camera than the iPhone 4, as well as Siri voice control and a bunch of apps that make a big difference between the two versions of the same phone.

If you haven't tripped over an eager Apple fan stationed on the sidewalk outside of a store yet on Friday, you'll still have noticed a certain percentage of pedestrian traffic staring at their iPhones with more avidity than usual. That's because these individuals - whom you will have to swerve to avoid walking into- were probably among the nearly 4 million people worldwide that are expected to purchase an iPhone 4S this weekend.

Apple sold 1.7 million iPhone 4's in its first weekend in 2010.

The day has finally come. The next generation iPhone became officially available in stores on Friday, and we're probably all wondering the same thing. How does this change the playing field of smartphones?

Here in San Francisco's downtown Stockton location, eager buyers came out as early as 4PM on Thursday. What may sound even more preposterous is that you can instead buy your spot in line if you don't want to wait. That is, if you make a high enough offer, anyway.
