Posted 07/04/2010 at 5:53am | by J Keirn-Swanson

Can you hear us now? Maybe if you held your phone in a different hand? Can you hear us now? What if you put a bumper on your phone? Can you hear us now? What if you switched carriers? Ha ha, we kid. But since you kept losing your bars when you tried to surf the net and hold your phones, here's some of the stories we didn't miss at Mac|Life.

Apple Breaks Their Silence on iPhone 4 Reception Issues

Posted 07/02/2010 at 6:32am | by J.R. Bookwalter

iPhone 4 users haven’t been content with Apple’s response thus far to their alleged reception issues, so Cupertino has taken to their website to post a response for all to see. As it turns out, the “issue” may indeed be much ado about nothing.

So every time you slap your iPhone 4 into your left hand, your calls start dropping. You could run out and buy yourself one of those fancy Apple bumpers for $29. But let's face it, you're a little cheesed at having to spend another 30 bucks to fix Apple's problem here. Enter this DIY genius.

iPhone 4 Owners Report Yellowish Photos in Low Light

Posted 07/01/2010 at 10:28am | by Cory Bohon

In the iPhone 4 introduction at the WWDC Keynote, Steve Jobs really pushed the great camera on the iPhone 4. We've seen some really great photos, and even a short movie come from the on-board 5MP camera. However, new reports from Macworld suggest that some iPhone 4 owners are suffering from yellowish tinted photos when photographing in low-light situations.

Steve Jobs: HD Video Uploads “In the Future,” No Mac Blu-ray

Posted 07/01/2010 at 6:05am | by J.R. Bookwalter

Comment

Apple CEO Steve Jobs has become the tech equivalent of a magic eight-ball: Instead of shaking it up for the answer you seek, simply fire off an e-mail to the right address and get wisdom thrown down from the mountain. This week the subject is HD video -- specifically uploading it via the iPhone 4 as well as playing it on a Mac.

iFixit and Chipworks Take a Second Look at the iPhone 4 Gyroscope

Posted 06/30/2010 at 9:37am | by Florence Ion

When a simple teardown just isn't enough, iFixit goes above and beyond to hone in on the real power behind the iPhone 4. With a little help from their friends over at Chipworks, iFixit took a good look at the MEMS (microelectromechanical system) that adds to the glory of the next generation iDevice.

Additionally, iFixit put another gyroscope, one not used in the iPhone, under a microscope to show just how truly complex the component is. It may look like a simple chip to the naked eye, but underneath all those layers of copper lies a truly intricate piece of technology. Click after the cut to see what we're talking about.

Apple Denies iPhone 4 Reception Problems

Posted 06/29/2010 at 9:11pm | by J Keirn-Swanson

It’s not so much a firm denial of reality--even Steve Jobs’ magical reality distortion field only extends so far--so let’s call it a “soft denial.” There’s been too many complaints in the form of YouTube videos out there for Apple not to address the issue. But as of this writing, official company policy remains what Steve’s email said: Just avoid holding it that way.

Jonathan Ive Talks About Designing the iPhone 4

Posted 06/29/2010 at 10:06am | by Florence Ion

Comments

And now for something completely different (compared to all of the negative Nancy news surrounding the iPhone 4). Jonathan Ive, chief designer at Apple, had a bit to say about the sleek design of the new iPhone 4 to Core77, a design magazine and resource blog. "A big part of the experience of a physical object has to do with the materials" he says in the interview. "[At Apple] we experiment with and explore materials, processing them, learning about the inherent properties of the material--and the process of transforming it from raw material to finished product; for example, understanding exactly how the processes of machining it or grinding it affect it. That understanding, that preoccupation with the materials and processes, is [very] essential to the way we work."

Leaked iWork Screenshots Remind Us How Much We Rely on our iPhones

Posted 06/29/2010 at 9:38am | by Florence Ion

Comment

We're not entirely sure how we feel about these leaked screenshots of iWork for the iPhone. On one hand, we'd be able to be super productive while protectively clutching our phones on the bus ride to work. On the other hand, we'd never be able to put work down. Regardless, the idea of Pages running on an iPod touch brings a smile to our face. There are rumors that the app is currently beta testing, though how close we are to an actual release of iWork is not exactly known.
