Rumors say the next Apple iPhone will have a metal back, small screen

Rumors say the next Apple iPhone will have a metal back, small screen

Posted on Aug 31, 2011 by MG1

By this time next month we’ll know either: 1) The exact specifications of Apple’s next generation iPhone, including pricing information and availability or 2) The date when Apple plans to unveil said iPhone. Until either of those two events happen however, it’s going to be rumor madness until the final moment. The latest iPhone rumor, courtesy of Taiwanese news site Digitimes, who has an above average track record of getting these things right, says that the iPhone 5, or iPhone 4S, whatever it’s going to be called, will have a metal back, replacing the fragile glass that many iPhone 4 users have accidentally destroyed, this writer included. It’s also now been predicted that the next iPhone w...

Snow Leopard to get iCloud support in 10.6.9 update?

Snow Leopard to get iCloud support in 10.6.9 update?

Posted on Aug 30, 2011 by MG1

Apparently those of you who aren't upgrading to Cupertino's latest and greatest desktop OS will be able to sling bits through iCloud with the upcoming 10.6.9 update. The screenshot above comes via an eagle-eyed developer, who's already upgraded his MobileMe account to the service and also happened to open its forebearer's preference pane on a machine running Tiger. No word on when it'll drop (we'd place our bets alongside iOS 5's launch this fall), but looks like those of you running Snow Leopard got some readin' to do.

Is Amazon Apple's biggest threat in tablets?

Is Amazon Apple's biggest threat in tablets?

Posted on Aug 30, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: TabletsAppleAmazon

It’s almost guaranteed that Amazon will release a tablet or two to go against the iPad and many analysts believe that Amazon has the best shot at dethroning Apple in this market for multiple reasons. Let’s take a look at how likely it is for Amazon to succeed in the tablet space.
Of course, this is going to be somewhat speculative because the products haven’t even been announced. Rumors suggest that Amazon will release a pair of Android-based tablets by the holiday season which are powered by NVIDIA chips and will have deep hooks into Amazon services. Let’s use that as the jumping off point.
The case for
Amazon has quietly become a high-tech sleeping giant over the last few years. While its ...

The next iPhone might feature a screen that is less than 4

The next iPhone might feature a screen that is less than 4", contrary to popular beliefs

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG15

Despite persistent rumors that the screen on the next iPhone will be 4"-4.2", extrapolated from some hearsay, concept renders, or alleged leaked bezels, the almighty "upstream supply chain sources" of Digitimes report that this might turn out to be just the public's opinion on it.

They say that the screen will most likely be 3.5"-3.7", but the thinner bezel surrounding it is making it look bigger. Another nugget of info from the news piece is that the back of the phone will be crafted out of metal, not the easy to shatter and heavy glass it has now. The rest of the rumored specs are regurgitated - A5 dual-core processor, 8MP camera and uber-thin design.

Sprint asks dealers to secretively deny to comment on iPhone 5 rumor

Sprint asks dealers to secretively deny to comment on iPhone 5 rumor

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG15

A Sprint-bound iPhone 5? The Wall Street Journal has been spreading the juicy rumor last week, hence the Now Network expects a flood of questions, so it has issued a how-to guide for dealers facing the issue of a news hungry Sprint customer. Instead of simply rejecting the rumor, as that seems the most obvious thing to do with a false statement, Sprint has asked dealers to answer with a vague “no comment.” If the iPhone news hungry Sprint customer continues to ask questions, dealers should admit they’ve seen the rumors, but finally redirect customers to Sprint’s official news wire.

Suppliers see Apple orders unfazed by Jobs' resignation

Suppliers see Apple orders unfazed by Jobs' resignation

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: Apple

Sources with Apple's major suppliers -- including Quanta and Foxconn -- are not worried that Steve Jobs' resignation will affect orders, according to Digitimes. The sources remark that Apple's new CEO, former COO Tim Cook, was already responsible for handling the company's manufacturing dealings. The only real worry is the loss of brand recognition, and the potential impact on innovation unless Apple can find someone like its former icon, the sources say.

WSJ Says Apple's Trying to Kill the Cable Industry

WSJ Says Apple's Trying to Kill the Cable Industry

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: Apple

Here's something mysterious: amid the WSJ's report on Tim Cook's ascension, they say Apple's "working on new technology to deliver video to televisions, and has been discussing whether to try to launch a subscription TV service." That could be huge.
The claim is tied to ye olde "people familiar with the matter," but this particular anonymously cited rumor makes sense—and could be mammoth.

Filed in: SamsungApple

Apple continued a string of wins against Samsung in its legal battles by speeding up the trial date for its core lawsuit against Samsung in the US. The Northern District of California court issued an order (below) issued an order setting the trial for July 30, 2012. While half a year later than the February 2012 date Apple had wanted, it would be much earlier than the March 2013 Samsung had suggested by targeting the median date for trial starts.

Carriers worry over Android/iPhone, may return to BlackBerry

Carriers worry over Android/iPhone, may return to BlackBerry

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG3

RIM may see a bounce back in the market simply out of carrier worries of an Apple and Google duopoly, Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu learned on Friday. After talking to carriers, he heard that networks are worried about the "growing dominance" of Android and the iPhone and were sorely looking for a third option to keep competition up. With Nokia not due to ship its first Windows Phones until September, he said, the BlackBerry could benefit simply by being a well-established company with a recently revamped phone line.
