| BLIP: Apple fan's iPhone 5S stolen in store, no chance to even set up Touch ID Posted:  Apple's new Touch ID fingerprint sensor might safeguard the iPhone 5S against thieves, but it wasn't much good to one poor Apple fan who had his handset robbed before leaving the Apple Store on Friday. After queuing (probably for hours) at the flagship Apple Store on Regent Street in London, the unlucky fella unboxed his handset and placed it in his pocket, only to be pick-pocketed by a light fingered little toe-rag. He only realised the iPhone was gone after he left the store and now cops, who were out in their droves on Friday and still managed to miss the incident, are looking at CCTV footage to determine what happened. "It's not clear what happened, because the store is so busy," a Met police source told The Register. "This is why we draft in extra officers. There's always going to be people having their new phones nicked." More blips!Some more blips, with less heartbreaking iPhone thievery, can be seen here |
| iOS 7 demand sees web traffic surge to 'highest ever' levels Posted:  The release of Apple's iOS 7 mobile software saw web traffic reach unprecedented levels in the UK on Wednesday night. The 750MB download (1.4GB for iPad) became available at 6pm on Wednesday, causing an instant spike in web activity, which peaked at around 9:30pm. According to data from the London Network Access Point company, data consumption doubled from 30 gigabits per second before the software became available and 60 gigabits per second at 9:30pm. The peak is likely to have been delayed until later in the evening due to the problems some users experienced when initially attempting to download the software from Apple's besieged servers. Speedy adoptionSpeaking to the Guardian, BT Retail said its traffic levels had never been higher, claiming "within 20 minutes of the launch traffic grew over 200 gigabits per second." Various estimates suggest that at least a third all compatible iOS devices are already running the new, re-imagined software just 24 hours after it became available. Mobile web and app analytics firm Mixpanel has been monitoring the adoption of iOS 7 via the traffic arriving at its servers. At the time of writing that figure had reached over 41 per cent. The company even says traffic from iOS 7 devices could overtake iOS 6 by the time the sun sets on Friday. |
