Soon after OS X Lion hits the Mac App Store today, Apple will update its iWork ’09 productivity suit to introduce some of Lion’s awesome new features, including auto save, resume, full screen mode and versions.
We’ve all seen those copycat iPhones that come out of China, the majority of which can usually be identified as counterfeit within a few seconds. However, when it comes to faking Apple stores, China does a pretty damn good job.
Hot on the heels of those leaked specs for Apple’s upcoming MacBook Airs and Mac minis, the Apple Online Store has gone down around the world, sparking speculation that these new machines will launch today, alongside OS X Lion as expected.
Apple’s upcoming Mac mini refresh is expected to drop sometime this week, and will introduce 500GB hard drives as standard, Intel’s latest Sandy Bridge processors, and the company’s high-speed Thunderbolt technology to the smallest Mac desktop. Here’s what else you can expect.
Apple is expected to announce the launch of its updated MacBook Air line sometime this week, but for those of you who are dying to know what the latest ultraportables will be packing when they arrive, here are the specs for the new 11- and 13-inch MacBook Airs.
Apple has held its earnings call for the third business quarter, and there’s plenty of new information and speculation to glean from what was said. The rumor mills are always churning, but rarely does the industry get as much actual hard data from Apple as it does during one of these earnings calls.
Apple’s success up to this point is phenomenal, but what’s even more interesting is the future of Apple’s business. We’ve gathered the main highlights from this last earnings call to give you a good idea of where Apple is headed in the coming months.
The popularity of Babak Pahlavan‘s new predictive, artificial intelligence app seems to have caught him completely by surprise; so much so that he had to change its (or maybe in this case, his) name from Seymour to Alfred.
Calling all iPhone Fellinis: a contest for short flicks shot on iDevices is open for entries.

It’s confirmed. Apple has just announced that OS X is officially launching tomorrow! It was confirmed by no less a person than Apple’s Peter Oppenheimer! He didn’t mention a time, but 8:30AM ET is the most widely rumored launch hour right now.
Get ready for Lion, guys! It’s coming! If you haven’t already prepared for Lion, why not check out our how-to on preparing your Mac for Lion, the right way?
Apple has just started its Q3 financial earnings call, and if the press release accompanying the earnings call is anything to go by, it’s going to be a stunner: Apple has racked up another all-time record revenue and earnings period for the period ending June 25th, 2011.
It’s no secret that Steve Jobs has been the heart and soul of Apple for many years. He brought us many of Apple’s most successful products, including the iPod, iPhone and iPad.
In light of Jobs’ ongoing medical leave of absence, Apple’s executive board is informally considering replacing Steve Jobs with a new CEO for the company.
Remember when Apple said to drag your Mac into your local Apple Store and piggyback their WiFi to download Lion if you didn’t have high-speed internet? It seemed silly at the time, but we didn’t take into account that Apple might set up dedicated Lion install servers in their retail locations to help with the load. Silly us.
Lending a little bit more credibility to the reports that Apple is holding retail sleepovers tonight in preparation for the release of OS X Lion tomorrow morning, photos of Italian signage for Lion has leaked onto the web.
Since most companies’ mobile technology patent portfolios are woefully untested, now is a time of the survival of the fittest in the smartphone biosphere. Smartphone companies are suing each other to test the sharpness of their fangs and claws.
So imagine panther-like Apple with agate eyes stalking through the foliage, hunting the biomechanical wildebeest of Android OS. Now imagine, right before the panther sinks its fangs into the wildebeest’s flanks, the wildebeest suddenly rearing about and bleating: “You’re just jealous!”
Well, in real life, the wildebeest has bleated just that, and it came off as stupid as it sounds. According to Google chairman Eric Schmitd, Apple is suing HTC and other Android makers out of jealousy. Oh, right! And a lack of innovation.
Apple’s upcoming OS X Lion release is expected to launch tomorrow, and when it does, it will be available exclusively through the Mac App Store. That means you’ll no longer be able to walk into an Apple retail store and purchase the release on DVD.
That’s great for the environment, but it can make recovering your machine a little more difficult. Apple’s new recovery plans for Lion, however, could make the whole process a walk in the park.
After commemorating its 10th anniversary in retail earlier this year, it seems Apple retail now has another impressive milestone to celebrate, having welcomed over 1 billion visitors into its retail stores worldwide.
When the doors of Apple retail stores close tonight, some employees will be arriving for an overnight that is expected to see preparation for the launch of Mac OS X Lion tomorrow.
We loved Mac Magazine’s previous mockups of what they thought the iPhone 5 would look like, but I think their concepts of the rumored October addition to the iPad family — the Retina Display packing iPad 2+, otherwise known as the iPad 3 and the iPad HD — is even better.
Every time there’s an anticipated release — a movie, a book, a new gadget — there’s always someone clamoring to be first in line to get it. Some of these people are just honest fans literally counting down the seconds until release. Some are just addicted to seeing their names in the paper. And some are just there to cash in on the notoriety of being first.
That all being true, we’re not surprised that even though the iPhone 5 hasn’t even been announced yet, there’s already someone camped out in line for one. What is surprising is he’s so open about why he’s doing it: for the publicity.
Want ultimate protection for your iPhone when you are hurling yourself out of airplanes? Get an Incipio case, which helped the unlucky iPhone 4 pictured above survive a two mile free fall, albeit not without some war wounds.
OS X Lion didn’t drop last week as expected, but Apple promised it this month and it’s now a whole new week. So could OS X Lion drop on Wednesday, along with new MacBook Airs?
Apple is set to offer a $350 budget iPhone without contract, in addition to a fifth-generation device by the end of this summer, according to “an incredibly solid source” for Boy Genius Report. But neither device is likely to surprise us with its design.
Apple’s third-generation iPad could boast a display that goes way beyond full 1080p HD, according to a new report. The Cupertino company is said to be testing 2048×1536 displays from both Samsung and LG that would finally bring a Retina display to its much-loved tablet.
After testing the iPhone for the field in an attempt to find the best smartphone for use by servicemen on the battlefield, the United States Army has a number of problems with the iPhone when it comes to use in warzones, and one of them seems to border on stamping the iPhone’s application with a 4F.
Images posted to the Chinese microblogging site Weibo and first published by Apple.pro purportedly depict a fifth-generation iPhone with a design identical to that of the iPhone 4, running Apple’s iPhone test software. iTunes seems to identify the device as a first-generation iPod touch, so could this really be September’s new iPhone?
