Launch a consumer electronics product these days and within a couple of weeks you can probably expect a legal challenge. Which has happened to Apple with the iPad Mini — because Samsung claims it infringes its patents. Read More >>

The new iPod Touch is so impossibly thin that in the race to get skinny, it had to get rid of a few features: specifically, the ambient light sensor that could adjust the brightness of the screen from the brightness of the room the iPod Touch was in. That's completely gone in the new iPod Touch. Read More >>
iOS 6 is finally available for public consumption and you can get it one of two ways: You can plug your iOS device in to your computer and check iTunes for an update, or you can go into the settings menu on your iPhone (3GS, 4 or 4S), iPod touch (4G, 5G) or iPad (iPad 2 or New iPad) and navigate to General > Software Update. And while updating shouldn't wipe out your previously stored data, you should back your device up just to be safe. Read More >>
Apple released the GM, or golden master, of iOS 6 to developers last night. It's the same version everyone else will get come September 19th, and you don't need to be a developer to install it (unlike the betas).

Yes, the iPod Touch has been updated and it's better than ever. And the feature Apple is trumpeting from the rooftops? A Loop. A loop that goes around your wrist. Because that's how clumsy you are. Read More >>

We know very little about iOS 6, the next version of the iPhone and iPad operating system that is likely to be unveiled at Apple's World Wide Developers Conference next week. So this is a list both of what we know, and what we want. Read More >>

The biggest surprise from last fall's iPhone 4S product launch wasn't that Apple stuck to its handset design guns for one more round. It's that the iPod Touch, that venerable music and gaming system, got no update at all. But if this internal iOS 5.1 build file unearthed by 9to5Mac holds up, the li'l guy hasn't been abandoned for good. Read More >>
