Bell tweeted about their Trade-In Program, and the iPhone is eligible for those interested. Just visit this page and enter in your iPhone model. The prices listed are 'estimates' and are pretty low compared to what you can get on eBay or Craigslist (but it is easy). For example, a 16GB iPhone 4S is worth...
German blog iPhone-Garage must have received their iPhone 5 unit early because they have just posted a teardown ahead of the iPhone release. It isn't our typical detailed teardown that we see with iFixit every year, however it's still interesting to see how Apple organizes the internals. As seen above, the iPhone 5 outer-shelling is removed...
It's the day before the iPhone 5 launch and it looks like the first line up has started, as spotted by MobileSyrup. The chap below is already waiting outside the Apple Store inside the Eaton Centre in Toronto. He has just under 24 hours to go. I hope he's not looking to buy an unlocked...
Apple has applied for a facial recognition locking and unlocking system patent, as Patently Apple describes. Currently Android has applied this system to all 4.0 devices with a front-facing camera.

Well, according to the official Twitter of Koodo, it appears the carrier has plans to launch their LTE network beginning on September 21st. The Toronto area will receive the treatment initially, as a tweet reads: “We’re launching LTE on Sept 21st” When the iPhone 5 was announced on September 12th, Apple listed Koodo as a compatible carrier. They haven't...
With the iPhone hitting the market officially tomorrow, what mobile plan do you have in mind? If you're a Virgin Mobile user, feast your eyes on their new limited-edition 6 GB add-on plan for $30 monthly.

Just when everybody was freaking out, the inevitable has happened--factory unlocked iPhone 5 orders have received their UPS tracking numbers, and have 'shipped.' Our order status for iPhone 5 orders placed at midnight last Friday have shipped, and a UPS tracking number has been provided (shipping method notes: UPS Express Saver). There is no breakdown...
iOS 6 introduced Apple's new mapping solution, replacing Google Maps. With the latter going the way of the dodo bird, some may be disappointed that local transit directions are not available anymore, unless you download a local transit app. Think again. You can still access local transit directions in iOS 6 by using Google Maps--on...
