As most folks are probably aware, iTunes 11 is now available for download. The overhauled interface has been getting some mixed reviews, as it seems to be railroading users into buying content, rather than offering an effective way for them to view and manage the content they already have. There’s no denying that the latest [...]

Apple’s upcoming data centres could not come soon enough! It seems like every other week a mass iCloud outage happens that disrupts the sending of iMessages and also the ability to place FaceTime calls. Most of the time when these outages occur however, Apple’s official iCloud status page never reflects that there is a problem. [...]

Yesterday AT&T announced that it would be expanding the availability of FaceTime over cellular at no extra charge. In a press release the company states that the iPhone 5 and LTE iPad will be able to take advantage of FaceTime over cellular on one of the network’s tiered data plans.

It looks like some of that $1.05 billion Apple won from Samsung might be heading right back out the door, if none of the lawsuits in question are successfully appealed.

For certain individuals even Game [...]

Those of you who have been following along will be familiar with the current controversy surrounding AT&T. If you haven’t heard, they’re blocking the use of FaceTime over their network unless you upgrade to a more expensive plan. In the iOS 5 version of FaceTime, you need a Wi-Fi connection to use the video chat service, but [...]

I wish every service provider, mobile and landline, would realize that bits are bits. It shouldn’t make a difference to service providers if I’m using my data to make video calls or exchange massive quantities of cat pictures.
