Droid RAZR MAXX sales: iPhone 4S no longer king at Verizon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleMotorolaiPhone 4sRAZR MAXX
Given the iPhone’s popularity, it must be the top-selling smartphone on the top three major U.S. wireless carriers, right? Not so fast, says William Blair analyst Anil Doradla, who penned a note to investors this week stating that the Droid RAZR MAXX is now the best-selling smartphone on Verizon even though the iPhone maintains its top spot at AT&T and Sprint. This doesn’t mean that Doradla is down on Apple as a whole, of course, as Barron’s reports that the analyst is “unfazed” by slipping sales at Verizon and still maintains his Outperform rating on shares of Apple stock. There are some good reasons that the iPhone might not be selling as well as high-end Android handsets on Verizon, with ...

IBM blocks Siri over privacy concerns
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleIBMiPhone 4iPhone 4s
If you happen to be an IBM’er who owns an iPhone, you will no longer be able to use Siri, at least while in the office.
Facing growing privacy concerns pertaining to the “bring your own device (BYOD)” trend, many companies are attempting to figure out ways to ensure private company data is protected. Several mobile services store some of your personal data, be it contact lists or voice search history on your device, leaving certain data ripe for the picking. Siri is a well-known offender, and Apple’s privacy policy openly states that they store your Siri search items on its servers to better improve Siri and other Apple products and services.

Redsn0w 0.9.11b1 now allows post-iPad 2 devices to downgrade to an older firmware
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsAppleiPadiPad 2iPhone 4s
Per usual, the Dev-Team whiz-kids have been hard at work trying to make your jailbroken iOS life a tad bit easier. This time around, MuscleNerd & Co. have outed their latest revision of RedSn0w (0.9.11b1), allowing folks using the new iPad, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S to downgrade to lower firmwares for jailbreaking purposes -- a feature others have been enjoying for some time now. As expected, you'd still need those saved SHSH blobs from the previous firmware in order to do so, and if your device depends on an unofficial unlock, it's recommended (with a few exceptions) to steer clear since this method will upgrade your baseband. Speaking of, the Dev-Team also notes you should stick with an earlier...

iPhone 4S A5 processor packs custom Siri “ears” chip
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Apple’s refusal to put its Siri voice control system on the iPhone 4 is not a shameless play to persuade users to upgrade to the 4S, it’s suggested, but a limitation of the Apple A5 chip found inside the newest iOS smartphone. The A5, Linley Group analyst Linley Gwennap says, was always too large simply to accommodate two Cortex A9 CPUs and a GPU, CNET reports; the extra bulk is to house an on-chip noise-reduction system sourced from specialists Audience, which revealed its deal with Apple last month.

New iOS Hack Lets You Natively Tweet By Talking To Siri

There’s no shortage of novel things you can strongarm Siri into doing for you these days, but sometimes it’s the little things that get me excited.
While not as innately flashy as being able to start a car, a new (and currently nameless) tweak from developer InfectionFX does something that Siri should have been able to do from the beginning: tweet for you.
