As reported on TechCrunch. by GREG KUMPARAK At long last, iOS 7 has just arrived. That is, it just arrived for everyone who didn’t say “Developer? Oh, yeah, I’m totally a developer.

Apple has been putting a major focus on the camera in the iPhone for a couple of years now. A recent Apple ad touted that more people take pictures…

Now that Apple has taken the wraps off of two new iPhone products, it’s the newest range that strikes us as the most curious.

As reported on Engadget. By Richard Lawler We’re just a few hours away from Apple’s big iPhone press conference, andNowhereelse.fr has just posted this render (from a “very reliable” source) that claims to show the iPhone 5S.

That is expected, considering repeated rumors (check out our roundup) including an apparent confirmation tonight from the Wall Street Journal, that Apple’s…
As reported on Engadget. By Steve Dent Yes, new rumors about iPhone colors seem to come along every day now. But these images from Weekly Ascii in Japan show an intriguing look at the champagne version of the alleged iPhone 5S model allegedly coming September 10, next to black and white iPhone 5 models… allegedly, of course. If real, they match up with previous images, while also showing a bit more refinement in the design and quality. The new color would be far…
As reported on Engadget. By Steve Dent Even the most ardent baseball fans have to admit it’s a long season.

As reported on Engadget. By Edgar Alvarez It wasn’t too long ago that SugarSync overhauled a couple of the apps it serves on different platforms, but for whatever reason the iOS version wasn’t included in that round of updates. Today, though, the cloud-based storage service is releasing a new version of its application for Apple devices that brings a fair bit to the table. Chief among the improvements is a completely redesigned UI that, according to the company,…
As reported on The Verge. by Jacob Kastrenakes The iPhone 5 came out less than six months ago, but rumors of Apple’s next phone are already swirling. There were signs in January that Apple may already be testing a new iPhone, and The Wall Street Journal reported that a low-cost version of the iPhonemay arrive this year.
