An unlocked, third-party software capable handset is always going to be desirable, but exactly how many buyers obtained an iPhone with the express intent of ditching AT&T? Apple is putting that figure at around 18-percent of the total handsets sold.

Apple announces 1.1m iPhones sold in Q4
I imagine it's champagne and anti-histamines all round in Cupertino today, with the news that Apple sold 1,119,000 iPhones in the forth fiscal quarter and posted profits of $904 million from revenue of $6.22 billion. The iPhone may be "the best iPod we've ever made", though, but the cellphone-free version still outstrips the mobile by almost a factor of ten; Apple sold 10,200,000 iPods in Q4, a 17-percent increase over the Q4 ... continued »

iPhone Notes syncing reference gone
So there was a little blurb about OS X Leopard that alluded to the fact that Notes syncing might become available to iPhone users with Leopard, but has since been removed. Certainly you can supposition the reasons why just as well as I can, either they changed their mind, or they just didn’t want to tell everybody just yet.

The Bromine Science and Environmental Forum have recently torn apart Greenpeace’s claims against the iPhone. The forum even went so far as to say that Greenpeace “sensationalized” some of its findings, well go figure, how many members do you think Greenpeace would have if they didn’t sensationalize things?

Apple lowers number of iPhones you can buy
In another “WTF?” move from Apple over the weekend, they lowered the number of iPhones that you can purchase at one time from 5 to 2 per person. So let me get this straight, they dropped the price by $200 in a very short time and pissed off all the early adopters and said that it was so they could sell more during the holiday season, yet now they are lowering ... continued »

iPhone stomping other manufacturers in survey
Sure, the iPhone is the 4th top selling phone in the US, but with 82% customer satisfaction, could that number hit 1? 82% customer satisfaction for the iPhone, that’s a full 31 points higher than the next closest competitor, RIM, the maker of the BlackBerry handsets.
Furthermore, 16% of the people planning on buying a new mobile phone, are looking to the iPhone, that puts Apple at the top of that ... continued »
