Best Buy rewards your procrastination with buy-one-get-one iPhone 4 deal

Sure it’s Christmas Eve and we’re more than halfway through Hanukkah, but it’s never too late to score some last minute deals — and heck, why not get a little something for yourself, while you’re at it? Best Buy wants to give you a free iPhone 4 for your impressive ability to hold out on holiday shopping for this long. Pick up a 32GB version of the last-gen handset with a two-year AT&T or Verizon plan, and the big box retailer will toss in a second (plus carrier fees, naturally). This is an in-store only sort of deal, and it’s only good through close at 5PM tonight — those folks in the blue polo shirts have families too, you know.

Facebook app update brings Timeline to the iPhone, iPad version coming soon

Facebook’s Timeline feature has only just begun to roll out across the globe, and now an iOS version has sidled up next to its Android counterpart — making it even easier for us to recheck our social network back stories. The new app is currently only available for the iPhone, but Facebook states that an iPad-friendly update will arrive soon. You will need to have already activated the timeline function on the web-based original, but downloading the latest version will also grant access to your friend lists and subscriptions. Some requisite performance improvements are also promised too. Cringe at some portable post-millennial fashion mistakes by grabbing the download at the source.

[Thanks Christoph]

Apple iPhone 4S now shipping in ‘one to two’ weeks, over 200,000 AT&T pre-orders in first 12 hours

If there was any question of how hot a tamale Apple’s iPhone 4S would be, the answer’s edging toward muy caliente. AT&T’s stated that the iPhone 4S has ushered in its best iPhone launch to date, receiving over 200,000 pre-orders for the device during the first 12 hours of availability (crediting its success to having the only US version operating over 14.4Mb/s HSPA+, aka FauxG). While that’s good news for Ma Bell, as of today, you’ll be looking at a wait time of “one to two weeks” after placing an order for this latest iThing (Sprint and Verizon included). We’ve yet to hear how the latter two telecoms have fared, but we’d imagine it won’t be a secret for too long — the iPhone 4S is officially available on October 14th, after all. Full AT&T PR just past the break.

How much will the iPhone 4S really cost on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint?

As Apple unleashes the iPhone 4S on AT&T, Verizon and now Sprint, the biggest question on everyone’s mind is how much will the phone really cost? As the third US carrier to sell the iPhone, Sprint has confirmed it will offer the device with the same unlimited plans as the other handsets in its lineup — much to the relief of loyal customers hoping to make a belated switch to iOS. But we’re betting those of you willing to swap providers are just a little curious as to how the plans stack up. Fortunately, we’ve crunched the numbers for you, so all you need to do is meet us after the break for that bottom line.
