T-Mobile joins Samsung in court fight against Apple
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungAppleT-Mobile
According to a recent court filing, T-Mobile has taken sides with Samsung in the company's court battle with Apple. T-Mobile contends that an injunction against the sale of Samsung products in the U.S. would harm the carrier and its customers.
T-Mobile's primary concern is with holiday sales, as it claims that "at this late date, T-Mobile could not find comparable replacement products for the 2011 holiday season." T-Mobile's holiday marketing campaigns prominently feature the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone and Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, both of which are in danger of being banned in the U.S. if Apple is awarded an injunction.
T-Mobile is the second carrier to take sides with Samsung, f...

Apple, Facebook could be good friends during iPhone 5 event
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
There is a lot of scuttlebutt going around that Apple and Facebook could make a major announcement during the Oct. 4 iPhone 5 announcement that could create much deeper ties between the two tech powerhouses.
Apple and Facebook have reportedly been at odds for a while, as Apple wanted Facebook integration with Ping but said that the social network’s terms were “onerous.” It’s unclear if Facebook could have saved the ill-fated Ping but it definitely could have helped. Additionally, Facebook and Microsoft have a very cushy relationship (Microsoft invested very early on) and there’s still no love lost between Apple and Microsoft.
Mashable is reporting that Apple and Facebook also had a bit of a ...

iPhone 4S May Be a Significant Upgrade to the Current iPhone 4
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Word is that two iPhone models are going to be announced during Apple’s event tomorrow: a brand new iPhone 5, and an iPhone 4S, which was suspected to be a slightly upgraded version of the current iPhone 4. However, it might be receiving a bigger dose of treatment than just minor bumps in specs.
BGR seems to believe that the coming iPhone 4S “ is going to be a pretty substantial bump as opposed to just an incremental update, as many are speculating.” While BGR doesn’t get into specifics, or tell us things we didn’t already know, it sounds like we’re in for more than what we’ve been expecting:

Leaked photos reveal cheaper version of Apple iPhone 4 to be introduced Tuesday
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Gizmodo's Brazilian site was able to get someone inside one of Foxconn's Brazilian factories. The plant (inside the plant) was able to snap pictures of what he alleges is a new Apple iPhone model in the midst of being produced. The phone is code named "N90A" and indicates that the model is a cheaper version of the current Apple iPhone 4. The GSM version of the Apple iPhone is "N90" while the CDMA variant is "N92". The addition of the "A" on the end of the code would seem to indicate that the model that was pictured is a variant of the GSM flavored Apple iPhone 4.

iPhone 4S is Certain
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
The rumors around a new streamlined iPhone 4 named iPhone 4S have already turned almost to news. Rumors about a new lower cost iPhone 4 have been around for quite a while. They totally confused the iPhone rumor mill over the summer. It took a while until it was seen as likely that Apple will reveal two new iPhones in 2011. In recent days though we only see confirmation of the iPhone 4S and not of the premium iPhone 5.

Apple, Google among those pushing for US tax breaks
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleGoogle
Apple and Google have been lobbying the US Congress to get tax breaks in return for bringing more of their cash holdings back to the country. A study conducted through Bloomberg has showed a group of 160 lobbyists, headed by Senate Finance Committee chair Max Baucus' former chief of staff Jeff Forbes, trying to persuade politicians that over $1 trillion would come back and fuel the US economy. Many of them have put cash in countries like the Cayman Islands and Switzerland to dodge US taxes but contend that they could improve an ailing economy if it was subject to taxes.

Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Samsung recently offered Apple a secret deal in Australia that could potentially allow the South Korea-based phone maker to put its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet on store shelves as soon as next week, The Wall Street Journal said Friday. Samsung’s lawyer David Catterns discussed the deal briefly in the Federal Court in Sydney but did not divulge the details of Samsung’s offer. However, Apple lawyer Stephen Burley suggested the iPhone maker may be interested in taking Samsung up on the offer. Samsung’s “inconvenience would be diminished and we would be comforted” if the deal was accepted, Burley explained. Apple and Samsung are locked up in multiple patent-related lawsuits around the globe, as Apple...

Physical iPhone 5 Prototype made in Germany

iPhone 5 images and renders are common. Benm.at, part of the Giga.de network took things a lot further. They developed a physical iPhone 5 prototype. Benm.at says that the iPhone 5 prototype is based on CAD designs, hardware components, several leaked hints, cases and recent, believable mockups we created a three-dimensional computer model. This virtual model was then used to build a very detailed, true prototype that you can hold in your own two hands.
The process to create this prototype is the same that’s used to create the iPad. The back was machined from a sold block of aluminum, which was later treated with glass pearls to get the same slightly rough touch that we already know from the...

Gang producing iPhone knockoffs with real parts busted in China

According to a police report filed by Chinese authorities, fake iPhones assembled with genuine parts have been discovered circulating the local cell phone market. The well-organized gang behind the scheme found a way to get their hands on some essential components from Apple's suppliers, assemble the devices in a sort of a DIY fashion, and even make the handsets appear more or less indistinguishable from the real deal to the average Joe.
Apparently, business for the guys was going well as an iPhone knockoff cost them about 2,000 yuan (roughly $310) worth of components, yet sold for about twice as much on the market. In comparison, a genuine iPhone can be bought from an official Apple store...

T-Mobile supports Samsung in Apple patent battle
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungAppleT-Mobile
T-Mobile has filed with the federal courts to oppose Apple’s request for a preliminary US injunction on Samsung’s Galaxy products. The move is similar to what Verizon did last week, when it, too, sided with Samsung and filed with the courts to oppose the injunction request, citing possible negative effects to its 4G LTE network deployment. T-Mobile claims that an injunction on Samsung’s Galaxy products in the US would “unnecessarily harm” its business and its customers, especially since it is relying on the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 as two of its major product launches for this holiday season. The carrier further argues that there isn’t enough time to find comparabl...
