I tried the Apple Store app right at 3:01am EST just because of the suggestion on AI yesterday of having the order in favorites. When it wasn't working I bailed out to the Verizon store which was ready to go. Had a 64GB space grey ordered in about …

It's worth noting that according to the dxomark website, they have not completed their review of the iPhone 7 Plus. "The new features and technologies in the iPhone 7 Plus require additional time for testing, so its review will follow this one, and…

Verizon made this nice and easy. Was able to start the preorder a few minutes early, and was back in bed by 3:15am edt. The only issue I had was when I wanted to ship to a business address. For some reason the "Company Name" field wouldn't app…

Been waiting on this one for a while. I will be one of those android to iPhone switchers. There are certain things that I will miss about the Android platform (some of the customization, the notifications system, and Swype) but I believe the b…

We shouldn't forget that from the beginning Apple said this wasn't going to be a feature-heavy release. It's hard to show people through video the internal workings that are making SL a lot better (Grand Central, OpenCL, etc.).
