Goldman Sachs sees iPad demand slowing

by Mike Schramm (Nov 16th, 2011)

Almost two years after the iPad launch, Goldman Sachs reports that demand is slowing down, just as the holiday shopping season begins. "While improving holiday demand into late November could certainly push the momentum in the other direction, we believe it is prudent to assume the iPad is ...

8 GB iPhone 3GS now free with contract, iPhone 4 price dropped

by Mike Schramm (Oct 4th, 2011)

With the announcement of the new iPhone 4S today, Apple has also dropped the price on the previous versions of the iPhone. The iPhone 3GS version with 8 GB of memory is now down to the low, low price of absolutely free (as long as you're willing to sign up on a two-year contract with the ...

Refurbished iPads now just $299

by Mike Schramm (Aug 22nd, 2011)

Apple's got a new price on a refurbished iPad (that's an iPad 1, not the latest 2), and it's likely the lowest official price you'll ever pay for the tablet. $299 is the new magic number, for a 16 GB iPad Wi-Fi. Of course, that presumes that the unit will come back into stock, but it likely ...

TUAW's Daily iPhone App: Haunted Manor: Lord of Mirrors

by Mike Schramm (Jun 24th, 2011)

We've posted about Big Fish Games before. It's a casual gaming company that has produced a ton of titles for the PC already, and it's in the process of both bringing those over to iOS and creating an original library of titles for Apple's mobile devices. This weekend, Big Fish is having a sale ...

Doing the Math: At $29.99, Mac OS X Lion was WWDC's most expensive product

by Chris Rawson (Jun 6th, 2011)

Our own Dave Caolo pointed out something that took the rest of the TUAW team aback: at US$29.99, Mac OS X Lion was the most expensive product discussed at WWDC today. It's not as though the next version of the Mac's operating system had a lot of pricing competition at the keynote. iOS 5 will be ...

AT&T hikes early upgrade prices

by Steven Sande (Apr 4th, 2011)

Mobile phone carriers have always had early upgrade pricing. In other words, if you purchase a phone with a two-year contract but want to get a newer model after a year, you generally pay a surcharge to do so. Over the weekend, AT&T quietly raised its early upgrade pricing by US$50 across ...

Apple's UK prices rise after VAT increase

by Chris Rawson (Jan 3rd, 2011)

Several European countries saw their online Apple stores go down for several hours earlier today, with the familiar yellow sticky note greeting customers in the UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and others. Some speculated this meant a new product launch, but stores in Asia/Pacific and North ...

Apple-1 computer going on auction at Christie's in London

by Mike Schramm (Nov 11th, 2010)

One of the original Apple-1 computers -- that's right, the wood-encased PCs that Steves Jobs and Wozniak built in the garage all those years ago -- is going up for auction at Christie's in London. There were only about 200 sold back in 1976 (for $666.66, of course) and only a few still left around ...

TUAW's Daily App: Sally's Salon Luxury Edition

by Mike Schramm (Oct 21st, 2010)

A few super popular games on the App Store have basically helped spawn the "time management" genre. Games like Diner Dash and Sally's Spa pioneered the genre, and Sally's Salon follows in that tradition. The game tasks you with moving cashier, stylist, and masseuse Sally around her salon, where she ...

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 now out on iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Oct 8th, 2010)

I've been away at GDC Online this week, so I almost missed it, but a brand new Sonic the Hedgehog game (that Sega is calling part 4, Episode 1) is out now for the iPhone. This is a pretty big deal -- not only is this a brand new title in the Sonic series, but it's also not coming out for other ...

iPod touch outselling PSP and DS in games, not systems

by Mike Schramm (Sep 1st, 2010)

During this morning's event, Steve Jobs tossed out the factoid that the iPod touch was trouncing traditional handheld gaming, claiming that the system had sold more than Nintendo and Sony's portables combined. If, like us, you thought that meant Apple had sold more devices than traditional game ...

Madden 2011 out for iPad and iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Aug 10th, 2010)

This year has just flown by -- it's almost that time again, when the leaves start to change color, the kids head back to school, and footballs fill the air. That also means the new Madden is now out, and for the first time, EA has brought the game to the iPad. By all accounts, it's pretty good -- ...

iPhone 4 prices from around the world

by Mike Schramm (Aug 3rd, 2010)

Now that the iPhone 4 is available around most of the world, iFun designed this interesting little infographic that compares the various prices of the handset around the globe. Note that all of these prices are in Euros, and that they all reflect the out-of-contract price -- because the US iPhones ...

WWDC 2010: iPhone 3GS drops to $99 on June 24

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jun 7th, 2010)

Starting June 24, the price of the iPhone 3GS, which began life at $199 (for 16GB) and $299 (for 32GB) will drop to $99 for the 16GB model. Even a hardened Apple follower like myself can't help but marvel at the fact that what was once an amazing device is now sitting on my desk looking at me ...

AT&T axes unlimited data, unveils tethering price

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Jun 2nd, 2010)

It's been a little over four months since the initial data plans for the iPad were announced, and slightly more than a month since the 3G iPad's been available. So, why the rapid about-face? It probably has something to do with the more than 2 million iPads sold to date, and the iPhone's increasing ...
