When Apple released the new iPad, some people said they were experiencing issues with the iPad overheating.  I personally haven’t had any issues with this, but seeing the LEDs that were put in to power the Retina Display, it’s not that hard to imagine the iPad overheating.

Every now and then a video will get put up of something crazy happening with an iOS device. The latest one comes from Finnish site Kauppalehti. Apparently 17-year-old Henri Helminen’s iPhone exploded into a cloud of smoke in his pocket. Now this wouldn’t be the first time an iPhone has spontaneously combusted.

Apple gets sued over Chinese version of Siri, Xiaoi Bot

Normally Apple is the one that does the suing, mainly for copyright infringement. It’s getting hard to keep track of every company that’s been sued by the lawsuit goliath.

Judge says HTC phones don’t violate Apple patents

In one of its many legal battles that the company has found itself in, Apple is beginning to realize that you simply can’t win them all. I’m pretty sure the iOS maker has had lawsuits with every larger manufacturer in the business including HTC, LG, Samsung, and Motorola. Even as big an Apple fan boy that I am, I get tired of the court room news, so it’s…

Apple gains control of iPad3.com domain

Apple is a company known for domination. While that might not be the first word that comes to mind when you think of Apple as a consumer, I’m sure the competing companies don’t have any problem seeing the tech giant as a fire breathing dragon. A lot of times legal fights and disputes erupt from the need for control and many companies have fallen victim to…
