Well, there's a chance you might get one if you need a repair. Basically, it's the store manager that makes the call based on inventory issues.

watchOS 3, iOS 10 released, but take your time with it
In another day or two, we’ll probably have to publish a quick story about how fast iOS 10 is being adopted and the torrents of people finding major, iPhone- or iPhone-bricking problems with the update. We hope not to have to write the latter story, actually, but we expect to.Never mind all that, as the iOS 10 software package is available for using to download and install now, as is the watchOS 3 update. You can go to your ...

Apple brings back the iPad 4, launches an 8GB iPhone 5c and discontinues the iPad 2
Apple has been doing some really odd things lately, and it mainly has to do with its product portfolio. For those of you that thought that the iPhone 4 was discontinued this year, well that’s not entirely accurate as it still lives somewhere in India. One of the oddest products to have continued on its stores as well was the iPad 2 after more than 3 years in the market, but that was easily topped today by some “new” product launches. First of all, Apple has decided to discontinue the iPad 2 and bring back the iPad 4 from the dead, as we saw some

iPad 4 ready to rise from its ashes, replace iPad 2 tomorrow?
Last October, Apple’s fourth-generation iPad came to a bit of an unceremonious end. Apple introduced the world to the new iPad Air, and that was all she wrote for the iPad 4 – Apple scrapped the tablet from its retail lineup, keeping the iPad 2 around as the more affordable option for shoppers who don’t need to have the very latest model. That’s how it’s stayed ever since, but recent rumors have suggested that the iPad 2 ...

iOS 7 powers 74 percent of all compatible Apple devices
Things are going faster and smoother for Apple when it comes to propagating the latest version of the company’s OS than, say, for Google, but the two companies are on a totally different strategy. While Android 4.4 KitKat is running on 1.1% of compatible Google devices, Apple’s iOS 7 powers 74 percent, a nice adoption rate to have for the latest iteration of a platform. Of course, iOS 7 was announced and released earlier than Android 4.4 KitKat, giving it a relatively large head-start! Still, ...

iPad Air vs old iPad (Video)
Last week, Apple released the latest addition to its popular iPad lineup, the iPad Air. It’s lighter, thinner, and narrower than all full-sized iPads before it. But how does it actually stack up to its predecessors? We put the iPad Air up against the iPad 3 this time around. With the same displays, similar internals, and the exact same software, the two tablets have quite a ...

iOS 7 is live, update your Apple devices
iOS 7 is live, and, as we’ve recently learned from our poll, most users can’t wait to experience Apple’s latest and greatest. However, first, you have to own a compatible device. The list includes the iPhone 4 and 4S (partially), as well as the iPhone 5 (full support) — in addition to the 5C and 5S that will have iOS 7 installed out-of-the-box. Tablet compatibility includes iPad 2 and 3 (partially), as well as the iPad 4 (full support), in addition to the iPad mini. Second, as usual ...

iOS 7 Gold Master available to download
The iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C weren’t the only Apple news yesterday; the Cupertino-based company shared iOS 7 details, announcing that the new OS will be available to download and install as of September 18, next Wednesday. However, the Gold Master version of the platform is now available to download. GM editions are usually the exact same bits that get shipped on iPhones; we can consider them more or less final versions. ...

Apple releases iOS 7 Beta 6
Beta 5 of iOS 7 landed on August 6 and yesterday we’ve heard some interesting bits of information claiming to predict the public release date of the final build to grace Apple’s upcoming iPhone, as well as some older models of the phone, alongside Apple tablets. Beta 6 is available to download as an over-the-air patch which is fixing a lot of bugs and brings some additional fine-tuning to the platform. There’s a rather ...

Why is Apple selling fewer iPads?
I’ve always been a huge fan of the Matrix Trilogy, and I’m sure many of you are as well. There’s one thing I always remember the Oracle telling Neo when things began to get rough, and it was: “Everything that has a beginning must have an end”. And it’s true, regardless of where you heard the phrase, it’s a fact of life that what goes up, must come down at some point. It happened to Apple in the early 80s, to IBM early last decade, to HP just a couple of years ago, to Palm in that same time period, Nokia, you name it. It’s hard to determine ...

The new Nexus 7 is finally a true iPad competitor
Up until this year, it was hard to be a tablet manufacturer if the company wasn’t Apple. Before 2010, nobody knew what it was like to have a tablet (that was not an expensive Microsoft computer obviously), and still, the iPad took the market by storm, and a storm that lasted almost four years. Why just four years? Well, if you learned about Apple’s quarter results a couple of days ago, you learned that for the first time ever, they sold less iPads this year than they sold last year. That’s not good considering that last year there were only two iPad options, and now there ...

Samsung, stop making 10-inch tablets with WXGA displays
With mobile devices, arguably the most important specification is the display. Yes, other specifications are vital, too. Of course, you wouldn’t have a smartphone without a large battery, capable processor, GPU, RAM, or storage. But with tablets and smartphones, the primary input and output is the display. It’s how you navigate the device, input text, read information, watch videos, and practically everything else you can do with mobile devices. The rapid advancement of display technology only lends credence to the importance of the display. (Not that anyone should dispute the ...

iOS 7 on the iPad worries me
iOS 7 is one of those things that you’ll either love, hate, or simply put-up with if you already own an iOS device. Some of us have been waiting for it for a long time. In full honesty, I think I was ready for a change even before Apple announced that there would be an iPad running it. Apple did a good job in polishing it and to keep me as their customer, but 2013 had to be a year of change for me, or else. Some people hated the previous version of iOS for Apple’s choice in design, but I’ll admit that I actually liked it. As fake as it could be, it did a good job in ...

iOS 7 on the iPad Hands-On
It’s been two weeks since Apple released iOS 7 beta to developers, and even though it’s a dramatic refresh to the user interface, that doesn’t mean that like every piece of pre-production software, it didn’t have its significant bugs. Apple has now released iOS 7 beta 2, and among the changes we have some apparent enhancements to how natural the voice of Siri is, the voice recorder app returns to the iPhone, and other bug fixes here and there. Probably the coolest news about this update is that iOS 7 now works on the iPad. In this video we go hands-on this new ...
