Sprint Posts iPhone Plans, Offers Unlimited Data

Sprint has recently posted its data, text and call plans for the iPhone on its website offering customers to pre-order the 8GB iPhone 4 starting today for $99.99 in black or white with a 2-year contract and an October 14 shipping date, while opening up the pre-ordering for the iPhone 4S on October 7 together with Apple with shipping scheduled to start on October 14. Customers will also be able to get their hands on the iPhone 4S in Sprint brick and mortar stores on October 14. 

Sprint's iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S plans start at $69.99 and include unlimited data, which both AT&T and Verizon no longer offer. Looks like Sprint is the way to go for new iPhone buyers this time around at much lower monthly costs including unlimited data for that data hungry iPhone.

Apple Offers To Buy Your Used iPhone 4, Rips You Off

So you want to upgrade to that powerful iPhone 4S do you now? I bet you thought about getting rid of your used iPhone 4 for some extra cash in order to help finance the upgrade. Apple wants your used iPhone and in exchange, it will send you an Apple Gift Card good towards goodies like the iPhone 4S. The thing is, Apple uses a third party service which will offer you next to nothing compared to what you can get for it if you sell your iPhone yourself using services like eBay. Just for an example, a mint condition 16GB iPhone 4 will only score you $180, and that's not enough. You will be able to get double than that right now if you sell it on your own and have enough to treat yourself to a nice iPhone 4S with enough storage to store all those 8-megapixel photos and 1080p videos! We highly recommend skipping the 16GB model if you're trigger happy.

Apple's Recycling Program may be a convenient route without having to think much, but a bit of minutes work setting up an eBay auction will help you get the most out of your lovely used iPhone 4.

GoPro-Like iPhone 4 Action Case Lets You Shoot Action Sports

When thinking about purchasing a camera for action sports, one would take GoPro into serious consideration, but if you already own an iPhone 4 why not use it instead? That's exactly the purpose of the Action Case made by Action Cases. It's the first ever case that lets you use your iPhone 4 as a fully functional action sports camera that can be mounted on a helmet, bike handlebars, a car or anything else that GoPro's mounts make possible. That's right, the Action Case uses all of GoPro's solid and reliable mounts thanks to the specially designed hinged iPhone 4 case. The Action Case by itself sales for $49 in case you already have some GoPro mounts.

The Action Case is designed very similarly to GoPro's own clear camera enclosures and made out of tough clear polypropylene plastic using stainless steel pins and internal shock pads for extra durability and protection. Unlike the GoPro cameras, the Action Case encloses your iPhone 4 in a non-waterproof cases, however Action Cases has said that it will work on making a fully water-tight Action Case in the future. With the being said, the Action Case complete with a few GoPro mount will run you $69, that's considerably less than a GoPro camera and the iPhone 4's HD video camera makes for a pretty good action sports mountable camera on the cheap. Head on over to the Action Case Kickstarter page to pre-order the Action Case.

iPhone 4 Now Has An Illuminated Apple Logo Thanks To iPatch

Here's something great to start the day off with. I bet by only looking the iPhone 4 above has put a big grin on your face like it did to me. Undoubtedly this is the most amazing looking iPhone 4 I've ever seen and it's as real as it can get. Who knew a glowing Apple logo would look so good on anything else other than Apple's MacBooks? The iPatch is a custom mod that lets you illuminate the back of the iPhone 4's Apple logo in a bright iconic white light of epicness.

How? It works much like how the MacBook lights up its rear facing Apple logo while the screen is turned on, the rear Apple logo on the iPhone 4 will remain evenly lit and will also illuminate when receiving a text message or when your alarm sounds off even when your screen is turned off. Battery life is said to remain unaffected by this mod since the source for the illumination is actually the front screen of the iPhone 4. iPatch hasn't yet made the mod available to the public quite yet and isn't planning on revealing us its deepest secretes on how exactly the mod takes place.

All we know is that there is a healthy list of Q&As on the iPatch product page to help you quench your excitement. iPatch plans to release its "Rear Apple Illumination Modification" and hopefully more info before mid October for an estimated £50 - £100, respectively. Other modifications include different colored Apple logo illuminations and different colored back glass plates. 

NuForce Icon iDo Amp Adds Audiophile Grade Audio To iPod, iPhone & iPad

NuForce has released a new amp called the Icon iDo that promises to improve your iPod, iPad and iPhone's compressed audio quality to CD quality sound by bypassing Apple's own built-in DAC (digital-to-analog-converter) by connecting to your Dock Connector port via USB to deliver audiophile grade audio playback with low-jitter. All that sounds great until you find out that you need to plug the Icon iDo to an external power supply to power it up. Not so portable now is it? But with that extra power, the Icon iDo amp can power up those juice-hungry headphones of yours without a sweat. It can also be plugged into your home stereo system with its RCA and digital Coaxial outputs. NuForce's Icon iDo amp features an LED volume indicator gauge on the front with a smooth volume knob and an aluminum enclosure. Available in 4 colors for $249.

i+Case Offers Sleek Aerodynamic Aluminum Curves For The iPhone 4

Granted we've seen just about every aluminum iPhone 4 case and bumper that was ever created, but we just have to point out this one called the i+Case. It's an aluminum bumper made for the iPhone 4 and with the typical drill of it being made out of a single piece of a solid block of aluminum using a CNC machine and the same process Apple uses to manufacture their unibody MacBook line of portables. There's no doubt that the i-Case doesn't look incredibly good with its sleek curves that with all the rumors circulating around, may even presumably make your iPhone 4 look like an iPhone 5. We can't help but notice how closely the i+Case resembles the ever so popular Japanese designed Draco, aka Deff Cleave aluminum bumper we've posted about a while back and even reviewed. The i+Case does have less specially designed curves we'll give it that, and it even has dedicated machined buttons too. It might not have the cool name, however it sure does look promising at $65. It's available for pre-order in black, red and silver colors.
