A new Apple patent published today reveals a new way for a phone to handle incoming calls. Titled “Dynamic context-based auto-response generation,” the patent is a step forward from the call waiting features of iOS6, offering the possibility of answering calls with a pre-recorded message based on caller ID or […] Read the original post…

Apple’s iPhone has been found to infringe three patents from MobileMedia Ideas, according to a Bloomberg News tweet. A U.S. court made the ruling today. The patents are related to automatic screen rotation, Apple Insider reports.  Apple attempted to persuade the court to dismiss the case last month, but was […] Read the original post…

Both of TankT5’s layers are quite thick, and taken together they add noticeable size to the thin device. Part of this comes from the abnormally deep lip surrounding the iPod’s screen; it’s going to keep the display safe from drops, but it’s a bit taller than necessary. The rest of […] Read the original post…

Available exclusively through the Apple Store, Incase’s Sports Armband Pro ($30) is one of the few accessories currently available for the seventh-generation iPod nano.

Following on the heels of mLogic’s mLink, OWC’s Mercury Helios PCIe Thunderbolt Expansion Chassis ($349) has arrived as a less expensive alternative in a slightly less attractive package. They both achieve the same end: any Thunderbolt-equipped Mac can use a half-length PCIe card that was formerly compatible only with the […] Read the original post…

In the latest of many patent trials, a jury has ruled that Apple didn’t infringe on three video-compression technology patents of Multimedia Patent Trust, an Alcatel-Lucent subsidiary, Bloomberg reports. Alcatel-Lucent sought $172.3 million in royalty damages from Apple, and $9.1 million from LG Electronics. The trial started recently, in late […] Read the original post…

As before, Q Card Case is primarily built with smooth, soft-touch rubber; it’s very comfortable to hold, and currently available in black, green, brown, or red options. It takes a little more effort to insert the iPhone than with some other pliable cases, but that’s not a major issue. We […] Read the original post…

Walmart has announced that it will be dropping the price of the 16GB fourth-generation Wi-Fi iPad to $399, and offering a 16GB iPhone 5 for $127, effective today, substantial price cuts that are surprising at this early stage of both products’ availability.

Only weeks after unveiling BookBook for iPhone 5, Twelve South is back at it again with BookBook for iPad mini ($70). This edition is really just a shrunken-down version of BookBook for full-sized iPads; it’s almost identical in every way. From the outside, it resembles a hand-crafted leather-bound book, and […] Read the original post…

Between these three cases, we like the look of Bones the least. It’s reminiscent of SwitchEasy’s CapsuleRebelX for iPhone 4/4S, but more cartoony. The base of the case is pretty straightforward: polycarbonate covered with solid colored polyurethane rubber that easily wraps around the iPhone’s body. That’s then augmented by reinforced […] Read the original post…

While we like the concept behind Perfect Fit Technologies’ Screen Shields — available in separate “iPad 2/3/4″ ($36) and iPad mini ($27) versions — we weren’t totally thrilled with the execution. The company attempts to solve one of the several big issues with screen film, proper alignment, by including an […] Read the original post…
