Back in early August we first reported on Rogers employees starting 'iPhone pre-launch' training, an annual occurrence. That document detailed training via Rogers Fast Track. Now, we've received a further tip documenting details of that apparent training, that specifically refers to 'new iPhone, iOS 5, and iCloud', as seen below: The 'Expectations' of the session...

Yesterday's OtterBox iPhone '4S' case leak sparked speculation Apple will be releasing an upgraded version of the iPhone 4.

The CRTC has set out some new rules for broadcasters that own both programming and distribution, also known as vertical integration.

Earlier today another case was apparently leaked, this time from OtterBox clearly labeled with iPhone '4S' on the packaging. As for the iPhone 5 itself, there has been no concrete evidence it even exists, aside from an apparent product page leak by Case-Mate, and a plethora of silicone cases made for sale (even some on...

This isn't really surprising, but according to UBS Investment Research, the iPhone has a 89% retention rate, with HTC at 39% as the closest competitor.

According to tweets posted by @chronicwire: New soft-looking volume buttons being...

A new study from the Convergence Consulting Group reports 2 million Canadians will have only cellphones at home, ditching landline services by the end of 2011. Why is this happening? It is the result of 'lower' wireless prices from the 'Big 3' wireless companies (Rogers, Telus, Bell). It is predicted 1 in 7 Canadians will...
