Optus has begun selling an iPhone 6 adaptor for the Thuraya SatSleeve smartphone-to-satphone accessory.

Never shy to beat its own drum, Apple naturally felt compelled to tell the world through press release that it sold 9 million new iPhone 5s, beating all analyst expectations.  However, should we have expected any less given the pent up demand from a vast iPhone user base needing an upgrade?

Last week millions of iPhone 4 users received a message from Apple suggesting that they upgrade to iOS 7. If you are one such user, you should ignore this suggestion – unless you want to degrade the performance of your phone and be forced into an unnecessary upgrade.

Apple is facing a ban on US imports of some of its devices, in the first patent ruling against Apple in the US to actually affect sales.

When I walked in to the phone shop and saw it on the shelf, I already knew I wasn't going to buy the iPhone 5. It had a small unimpressive screen, looked unremarkably similar to what I already had and and Apple even wanted to force me to buy a new adapter to fit my existing devices. And here was a Samsung phone that was already a generation ahead, with a new model soon to arrive. Is there anything Apple can do?

If you've wanted to buy a new and unlocked iPhone, your only choice has been the Apple Store - but that's now changed. Whether an unlocked iPhone - or any other unlocked handset - is good value depends a lot on how you plan to use it.

Over the weekend, after the hysteria died down, I visited my local Vodafone store to check out the iPhone 5 and see for myself whether it lived up to Apple’s hype. What I found was quite a surprise.

It looks like the lawyers won.

The Kogeto Dot lens allows the iPhone to capture 360° panoramas instantly.

Consumer demand for mobile data is exploding beyond market expectations, fuelled by new smartphones, apps and services, with the greatest demand coming from iPhone 4S users who have shown their huge appetite for information, demanding twice as much data as the iPhone 4 and 3G users.

With the launch of the 2012 iPhone 5 still at least six to nine months away, all of the attention is on the unjailbreakable iPhone 4S and iPad 2, but as of very late 2011, the iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch with A4 processors can finally be jailbroken.

There's a meme spreading that says Apple was right to stay with a 3.5in screen for the iPhone family despite calls for more real estate. The argument is that you can't easily reach the opposite corners when using a 4+in device one-handed, but I call shenanigans.

Australia's 13th Apple Store is set to open this weekend, but unlike the iPad 2, which features an 'entirely new design' and is 33% thinner, Apple's new store is likely to be a mostly carbon copy of its existing winning designs.

After Apple got down and dirty with the legal eagles in Australia and stopping Samsung from releasing its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, Samsung certainly protested, but now they've dropped a tidy little lawsuit against Apple in return against several of its oh so shinily crunchy Jobsian iDevices.

Victorian residents of Cheltenham are the next in line to get their very own Apple Store - all from August 13, 2011.

Padacs, an Australian 'iAccessories' company producing a range of accessories for Apple's iDevices, has finally begun shipping its awaited upgrades to its Toccata and Rubata Bluetooth keyboard cases: the Toccata 2 and Rubata 2.

Ah, thinness. It's not just for supermodels, but superphones too, and while the white iPhone 4 has suffered claims of being thicker than its black brother from the same crunchy mother, one of its fathers says nuh-uh.

The White iPhone 4 has been officially launched by Apple at last, and while it took a lot longer than 3 days to fully resurrect since it was last officially seen with the iPhone 3GS, a white iPhone 4 is mythical no longer!

With reports suggesting an official white iPhone 4 due to launch sometime this month, and Apple previously saying it would launch in the US 'spring', some wonder whether the supposed white iPhone 4 will really be an iPhone 5 instead.

Apple's biggest seller will soon be a white knight, after months of delays and setbacks. The iPhone 4 is set to be relaunched in white within a month, if anonymous sources are to be believed.
