Other than smuggling iPhones from Hong Kong, people in China has found ways to build their own, using old iPhone parts collected from electronic waste and broken iPhones, and replacement parts. It is also said that some parts actually come from Hon Hai/Foxconn, the manufacturer of the iPhone. While a brand-new iPhone 4 is available from Apple for RMB3088 (US$496) without contract, it costs just RMB1350 (US$217) to build an iPhone 4 using these old parts and components. As reported by ShenZhen Wanbao, 80% of old, broken iPhones are sent to town called Gui Yu in Shantou city. Some

We have been hearing lots about the iPhone 5 since a while now, and the latest is a probable date of production of the device. The Apple iPhone 5 is said to have entered trial production is may be expected to go into mass output by the third quarter of this year itself. So what would it look like when it comes for real.

The quake and the tsunami disasters that rocked the whole of Japan, seems to have made a dent in the iPad and iPhone 4  terrain too. With the catastrophe affecting the overall scenario in the Asian nation, component makers have also been forced to go in for a shut down for at least some time. Considering that Japanese companies contribute immensely in the making of the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4, the closing down of companies such as Toshiba’s LCD plant and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical for a month need to be seen as affecting Apple’s plans. The suspension in activities could bring

Apple fans who are waiting to own the upcoming iPhone 5 might be expecting the company to bring in an even more alluring design. It is not that the iPhone 4 design is any bad, but when it comes to a new model, it is only natural that customers would want something new in the design. However, a set of pictures spotted a while ago reveals that the iPhone 5 will have the same design as that of the predecessor. Images of iPhone 5 cases that have been let out by Alibaba make us that the handset will be very much identical to iPhone 4. Now that doesn’t call for big celebration,

It seems every tine iPhone 4 has to adjust a tiny bit with the clock or even get ahead with the change of an year, there is an issue with the alarm of the famous Apple gadget. With America switching to daylight savings time over the weekend, iPhone 4 alarms once again refused to ring at the right time ensuring that those who had early morning appointments on Sunday (which we are not fond of at all) missed them comfortably. The thing was also reported on Monday and at this point the best thing to do next time you see the calendar change to next year or even encounter daylight

We had earlier heard Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak stating that the white iPhone 4 was in production and the models will be hitting the stores soon. As the confirmation had come from an Apple top guy himself, we were pretty sure that the device might be on its way. This confirmation had come during the beginning of last month. Now, as if adding to the hope, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, has tweeted that the device is still on schedule. That, in fact is good news. Going by Schiller’s tweet, the white iPhone 4 will definitely

Yesterday was a pretty interesting day once again for all those who wish to sport the white iPhone 4. But along with the white version of the iPhone that was posted in the wild came the snapshots of a 64GB iPhone 4 prototype. (We are willing to go along and believe that it is indeed an Apple creation) Then came the Hands-On Video of the 64GB iPhone 4 and that makes you wonder if Apple is planning on launching a similar iPhone 5 in capacity for all of us. It is not too hard to believe that Apple made a few prototypes of a 64GB iPhone 4 as they very well could have tinkered with

Earlier today we uncovered a few snapshots of iPhone 4 64GB along with a white iPhone in the Chinese/Hong Kong market and now we have our first Hands-On video of 64GB iPhone 4. There obviously is no confirmation on whether this is the real deal or just a fake that is doing rounds. But even if it is a fake, it is a damn impressive one. If not, then this could very well be a ‘Prototype’ that Apple worked. Either way, it is worth taking a look at.
