Yes, the iPhone brings in new customers, increases revenue, and lets the carrier bask in Apple's halo effect, but all of that comes at a cost. One analyst calls the iPhone a habit the carriers just can't kick.

iPhone 5 fever is picking up as we inch closer to the Mobile World Congress in Spain in February where many new smartphones are set to debut, including the Samsung Galaxy S3. That's because nothing in the consumer tech world generates as much buzz as new Apple iPads or iPhones.
Strong iPhone 4S sales narrowed the gap between Apple and Google in the heated smartphone market.
The Apple iPhone 4S is a hit, if the new numbers from market research firm Nielsen are any indication. During the final three months of 2011, 44.5 percent of respondents purchased an iPhone 4S. That’s up from just 25.1 percent who went with an iPhone in October. This boost in sales helped Apple steal market share from the still-dominant Android during the fourth quarter of 2011.

The fabled white iPhone 4 is back in the news again, thanks to some Apple Store placards that say the smartphone will hit stores in spring 2011. Trouble is, the discovery isn’t actually new.
We’ve previously looked at what the iPhone is capable of shooting in terms of still images, but this time around we’re delving into the video side of things.

A fairly new application for the iPhone is gaining popularity. In May Intelliborn showed a new application on the Today show: the Intelliscreen. What this application does is allow the iPhone user to personalize the lock screen.
This is a current feature list. By the time the product rolls out for full use there are suppose to be additional features added.
Another great feature is that if the program fails to engage more than once, a screen will pop up asking the user if they want to disable the program.
I must say that this application looks like it will be a winner if it delivers everything above. Since the product is just in beta and has a lot of the features active already, there is no reason to doubt this product.

The standalone branded gadget will stream films directly to TV sets and is expected to be announced “sometime” this month.
Apple’s Apple TV product received a revamp earlier this year in the face of disappointing sales while Blockbuster rival Netflix has been linked with LG in creating a similar device.

Hey guys,
Sorry for the recent downtime, the current server I am hosted on has not been stable in the last few days, causing the server to go offline due to high server loads, it wasn’t actually down as such just refusing connections.
We may move servers shortly, however iPhoneYabber.com (our domain) was registered by one of my good friends who has had his net cut off for a while, so I don’t know what to do with DNS.
If I can’t get in contact with him, we may need to get a new name, i’ll try my hardest to get in contact with him though.
Will update everyone shortly.

Wolfson Microelectronics, the Edinburgh microchip designer, has suffered a significant setback after losing its contract to supply components for the Apple iPod Touch and iPod Nano.
Failure to renew the deal, which analysts believe accounts for at least 15 per cent of Wolfson’s revenue, led to the Scottish group’s share price dropping by a third in early trading yesterday. Wolfson will continue to provide audio chips for Apple’s iPhone.
Its shares tumbled by as much as 30 per cent to a three-and-a-half-year low of 99p, recovering to 116p by the close, down 26p on the day.
Apple’s withdrawal is the latest blow in a year that has seen Wolfson’s shares fall by almost two thirds. They hit a record high of 560p in June 2006.
The company was considered the bright spark of the UK technology sector when it floated in October 2003, with contracts to supply parts for devices such as the X-Box, Tom-Tom satellite navigation systems and Samsung handsets.
