Walmart's 'unlimited' iPhone prepaid plan is not unlimited
Jan 17th 2013, 13:29

The word "unlimited" just doesn't mean what it used to, or really, what any dictionary on the planet thinks it means. Walmart was quite pleased to announce last week that its iPhone 5 plan on Straight Talk prepaid would come with unlimited voice, text, and data. On that last count, it sounded too good to [...]

Apple halves some iPhone 5 component orders
Jan 14th 2013, 14:30

When Apple launched the iPhone 5 last September there was definitely a mixed response to the new handset. Yes, it had a larger display, embraced 4G, and was thinner, but it wasn’t revolutionary, just another evolution. And that seems to be causing Apple a few problems as the iPhone 5 isn’t selling anywhere near as [...]
