Those sitting out in the sun today for a new iPhone might have waited hours or overnight. They are wimps. Twilight fans have been camped out since Monday for tonight's premiere. They will show you how it's done!

In cities across America, throngs of fanboys are lined up for the new iPhone. There are too many customers, and too few of Apple's shiny new product. The chaos is rising with the summer temperature, and so is the anger.

Dmitry Medvedev, the "elected" president of Russia, is touring Silicon Valley companies this week. At Apple tomorrow, say Russian reports, the Mac enthusiast will get a pre-release iPhone 4 as a personal gift from CEO Steve Jobs. Appropriate.

Apple has a new privacy policy letting it collect and retain the "precise... real-time geographic location" of users, and share this with outsiders. The data is supposed to be anonymous, but you know how that goes. Enjoy that new sp-iPhone!

Apple says it had 600,000 orders for the iPhone 4 on its first day. Hope they had enough paper!

AT&T did it again. After exposing private data on more than 114,000 iPad 3G customers, Apple's cellular partner has inadvertently shared iPhone account data amid a flood of pre-orders. And a customer sent us screenshots to prove it.

AT&T's pre-ordering system for the new iPhone collapsed, leading to online errors and long store waits. One glitch even exposed customers' data to strangers. The forthcoming iPhone riots will only make the incrementally improved shiny device hotter. [Gizmodo, Pic]

Apple has proclaimed an iPad "revolution," and has already picked the winners and losers. Banned in its cultural shift are literary illustrations of gay couples making, and of Ulysses. Allowed are heterosexual couples making out and swimsuit editions.

Mark Zuckerberg recently bought an iPhone. But the mobile phone is not very mobile, and not much of a phone, the Facebook CEO says.

Apple has suffered another embarrassment. A security breach has exposed iPad owners including dozens of CEOs, military officials, and top politicians. They—and every other buyer of the cellular-enabled tablet—could be vulnerable to spam marketing and malicious hacking.

Steve Jobs has already been busted for exaggerating the resolution of a new iPhone screen the Apple CEO unveiled yesterday. It's only the latest in a series of misleading videos, pictures and claims designed to part you and your money.

The iPhone 4 was (officially) announced mere hours ago, but the Internet has already produced a great parody ad featuring Jane Lynch and KassemG. Inside, video of Lynch and her cohort lamenting "leaked" features and name-checking Gizmodo in the process.

Kim Kardashian's iPhone app costs $1.99 and allows you to interact with a pocket-sized Kim who blows kisses and "strikes her signature poses." She even fought with her app programmers to get "the biggest butt of all the options."

The New York Post report today that the Justice Department has been calling "a handful of the country's biggest media and technology companies," to get their views on Apple. A prospect that cannot fill Steve Jobs with confidence.

Apple hates people walking off with its iPhones, but it's hard to imagine CEO Steve Jobs going as far as Roger Witter. The Oregon illustrator fired two rounds at thieves stealing iPhones from an AT&T store.

A worker at iPhone manufacturer FoxConn has fallen to his death—the tenth such incident this year.

Apple complained about an on-air iPhone parody from Ellen DeGeneres, prompting an apology from the talk-show host. Not your fault, Ellen: Apple has a weak sense of humor. And of satire, perspective, fair play and irony. Video after the jump.

We've collected some of our favorite and most memorable Apple ads from the last three decades, so take a trip down memory lane with us as we go through Apple's most iconic TV spots.

This hasn't been a good morning for Steve Jobs. The Apple CEO is facing a report the feds are looking into his control-freak lockdown of the iPhone and iPad. And a Times columnist says the company's recent actions look "horrible."

Tonight on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart gave his take regarding Gizmodo's iPhone exclusive and the subsequent police raid on Jason Chen's home. Speaking directly to Apple and Steve Jobs, Stewart didn't hold back his criticism of them. Video inside.
