The store’s success is indisputable. The broad selection of apps is a major reason why consumers want the iPhone. In April, Apple announced that the number of downloads exceeded a billion, less than a year after the App Store opened. But a bigger moneymaker than the iPhone itself? It’s not even close. Tweet

The problem with the application is how you pay for it. Downloading the Navigator is free. Owning it is expensive: $10 added to your monthly bill — even if you delete the app — until you contact AT&T and shut off the service. Tweet

One of the telling things about this particular visit to the Apple Store was something the tech told me. He said that he would replace the battery with a new one because it has be “used correctly.” When I asked him to elaborate on what that meant, he told me that Apple’s notebook batteries last longest when they’re routinely charged and discharged.

It is true that Apple has been quiet about this so far. If I had to guess, I'd say it's because they have not been able to replicate the heat issues some users are reporting. Tweet

Apple is working to fix an iPhone vulnerability that could allow an attacker to remotely install and run unsigned software code with root access to the phone.
The attack in question exploits a weakness in the way iPhones handle text messages received via SMS (Short Message Service), said security researcher Charlie Miller, during a presentation at the SyScan conference in Singapore on Thursday. He didn’t provide a detailed description of the SMS vulnerability, citing an agreement with Apple. Tweet

We shall not buy this new iPhone: let the commoners have it, I say. Instead, let us maintain our exclusive hip-hop hipness and buy their phone — a Telstra EasyTouch on a $20 plan. And no more iPods either. We shall only buy a Microsoft Zune! Tweet

When the iPhone took the cell phone world by storm two years ago, it was viewed as a revolutionary, game-changing new device that would alter how mobile phone users consumed data on their devices. In reality, the iPhone was merely the next logical step in Apple's quest to rule the world of wireless devices. Tweet

In two new ad spots, Apple manages to spin iPhone features that everyone else already has as remarkable and revolutionary. The RDF may be a little strong in these videos, but we do have to applaud Apple for its confidence. Tweet

My wife's iPhone 3G now looks as good as new, and I didn't have to fall back on my alternate plan of paying Apple for a replacement. I hope I don't have to put my new screen-fixing skills to work again, but if gravity should assert itself, I'll be ready. Tweet

One of the things that has struck me about using 3.0 is its stability and completeness. Normally with a major new release of any operating system there are rough edges until the first couple of point releases or “service packs”. iPhone 3.0 however is remarkably solid. Tweet
