In what could be an ominous sign of the WWDC festivities, the Apple store has gone down. This has of course sparked a wild fire of rumors. WWDC is less than two hours away, and the store is down. The question is, what are they doing in there? Are they adding the 3G iPhone? Maybe that Mac Tablet we have ... continued »

After iPhone shortages in the UK, it's now the turn of the US to experience supply problems.  According to the online Apple store, both the 8GB and 16GB models are "Currently Unavailable".  There's no indication of whether this is merely a case of stock mis-management or a sign that a new iPhone is fast approaching. continued »

Cheery-faced PiperJaffray analyst Gene Munster told clients the other day that one of the signs of an upcoming 3G iPhone was that twenty Apple stores are apparently out of stock of the handset.  Om Malik obviously has a decent long-distance call package, because his team decided to test out Munster's claim and call as many Apple stores as they could; locations ... continued »

I knew as soon as I saw the first jailbreakme.com story that someone was going to go to an Apple store and Jailbreak the display model. Sure enough it happened, and now here is a picture. Sure, it could be fake, but I would venture to guess that since it would take longer to photoshop it than to navigate to jailbreakme.com ... continued »

Or your gift cards for that matter. Since when did one of the few nations to somewhat successfully run on a fiat monetary system stop accepting cash anywhere as an acceptable form of payments, let alone in the retail industry?

It’s no surprise that as per Apple’s terms and conditions, if you mess with your iPhone, they will both no longer fix it, and they will go ahead and void its warranty and blacklist it from further repair.
