Screen Protectors banned in Apple retail stores?
News - March 18, 2010 - 0 Comments
 |
Does Apple not like screen protectors? iLounge and MacWorld are both reporting that Apple is banning the sale of screen protectors in its retail stores. Bummer. There is no solid reason for the ban, but speculation is that Apple wants to reduce the perception that screen protectors are a necessity because the devices' screens are not sufficiently durable. That doesn't make a lot of sense though. Some people just don't want oil on their screens.
"Another theory involves high return rates for ...read more

If you're one of those iPhone jailbreakers you might find this interesting. The iDongle is a hardware accessory that can completely jailbreak and activate an iPhone 3GS or iPod touch running OS 3.1.2, just by plugging it in. That's right, no hassles.

Hopefully, the Long Press will bring up a copy, cut, and paste menu! ...read more
