Samsung: Hey, doesn’t the iPhone 4 look a lot like our old MP3 players
Samsung has ramped up its PR offensive in the aftermath of the $1bn Apple ruling, highlighting similarities between its media players and the iPhone 4 launched later on.

T-Mobile begins prepping employees to sell ‘against the iPhone’
Like many other carriers, T-Mobile is gearing up for the much-rumored launch of the next iPhone. Unlike other carriers, T-Mobile isn't clearing old stock or figuring out ways to get people into its stores to buy the iPhone 5. Instead, new internal documents uncovered by TmoNews show that the company will be training employees for "selling against the iPhone."

iPhone 5 mini dock appears in new shell photos
This afternoon the folks at iResQ have snapped a few photos of what appears to be the back shell of the next-generation iPhone ready for release next month by Apple. This device appears to be essentially the same thickness as the previous generation iPhone 4/4S, but a major change appears in the bottom end of the smartphone's final build. Here it appears that a new generation of Apple mobile products may be born in a dock connector that is essentially 1/4 the size of the original 30-pin "iPod dock".

iPhone discounts go deep at Apple retail
Today brings news that Apple is matching its competitors' prices on iPhones at its own retail stores, but the company doesn't want to make a big deal about it. MacRumors reports that Apple has implemented a new quiet policy that allows employees to price match on all iPhone 4S models and the iPhone 4, so if you want to buy directly from Apple but still want to get the best price possible, now is your chance. It should be noted, however, that Apple will only be price matching on sales made in-store, meaning online orders aren't eligible for the promotion.

Define Failure: 26m iPhones, good or bad?
26m iPhones in a three month period. Apple’s Q3 2012 results are out, and while the huge year-on-year growth for iPad is an eye-catcher, it’s the shifting sales of the company’s flagship smartphone that have split opinion. For many – Nokia, for instance, or HTC – 26m sales would be the very definition of “a good problem to have”, but for Apple it’s not so straightforward. While the company has seen 28-percent year-on-year growth for the iPhone, its also seen a 26-percent drop quarter-on-quarter. So, is the iPhone stumbling, or is this all entirely understandable?
Virgin Mobile begins prepaid iPhone sales
Virgin Mobile turned a few heads earlier this month when it announced it would be selling Apple’s iPhone 4 and 4S off-contract on top of offering an affordable $35 a month unlimited data plan. The MVNO has now started sales of both handsets, with the iPhone 4S 16GB commanding a price of $649.99, while the iPhone 4 8GB will cost $549.99.

Arcadie for iPhone Review
Remember the iCade? What originally started out as an April Fool’s joke on ThinkGeek morphed into a legitimate product a little over a year later. Take that same concept, shrink it down, and what do you get? The Arcadie for iPhone. Featuring a joystick and two physical buttons, the arcade cabinet houses an iPhone or iPod Touch in the back and lets you play some variations of classic arcade games. We decided to take one for a spin, so head past the jump for the full review.
Samsung scores 3G patent win over Apple: Seeks compensation
Samsung has secured a win against Apple in The Hague, with the Dutch court ruling that older iPhones and iPads contravene a 3G patent held by the Korean company. Although Samsung’s earlier attempts to have the products – which include the iPad 2 and iPhone 4, though not the latest iPhone 4S and new iPad – blocked from sale were rejected, the company says it will now use this ruling to obtain compensation for the infringement from Apple.
