Or maybe you're looking forward to seeing the Retina installed in some of Apple's other products at the event later this week. But like most consumer ...

Xenome: Episode 1 is a fully immersive post-apocalyptic RPG on your iPhone

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jul 8th, 2010)

Xenome is clearly inspired by these two games, and promises to chew up yet more of my time. You play a lone wanderer in the desert, searching for something and having a ...

iSuppli: iPhone 4 parts cost $187.51

by Mike Schramm (Jun 28th, 2010)

Update: As pointed out below, our original analysis here did not highlight the difference between the subsidized pricing (what consumers pay with a 2-year contract) and the much higher unsubsidized price (what carriers pay Apple for each phone).

WWDC 2010: Apple announces iPhone 4

by Dave Caolo (Jun 7th, 2010)

That case we've all seen was more or less the final product. Steve called it "the most beautiful thing we've ever created." It's got glass front and back for durability and scratch-resistance. About that band of metal that surrounds the phone's edges? It's all a part of the antenna. Pretty neat. ...
