Hackers have figured out how to access the iPhone. According to various reports, the passwords on iPhones can be hacked, giving someone the ability to make calls, listen to your recent messages and access your contact list. The flaw is exploited on iPhones running Apple's iOS 6.1 which is the most recent version of its mobile operating system. Hackers use a second iPhone placed nearby to make a call to the phone, canceling it, then answering with the targeted phone and fiddling with the power button. So far, there has been no comment from Apple.

Brazil's patent authority has handed a setback to Apple. Brazil's National Patent Office rejected Apple's request to register the iPhone name in Brazil. The office declared the iPhone name in the country belongs to a local company called Gradiente SA, not the global technology giant we all know. Brazilian trademark regulations are based on first-come, first served. Gradiente applied for the iPhone trademark in 2000, more than six years before apple submitted its application. A spokesman for Brazil's Patent Office said Apple is contesting the decision.
