Apple doctored official court documents in EU Samsung case?
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Apple and Samsung aren’t exactly what you would call the best of friends. Despite Apple paying Samsung millions, most likely billions, of dollars for components every year that find their way inside many of Apple’s portable products, Samsung obviously competes with Apple in the consumer electronics game. Recently Apple successfully managed to get sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 stopped in the European Union and Australia.

Rumor: iPad with "retina display" no longer coming out this fall
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 3
According to Taiwanese rumor site DigiTimes, who has a track record that’s square in the middle of the “it could be bullshit, it could be true” barometer of believability, Apple had hopes of launching a third generation iPad this fall, and shipping between 6.5 million and 8 million units by the end of this calendar year, but they had to scrap said plans because they’re finding it difficult to secure availability of LCD panels. Right now, the only manufacturer who can reliably make the 9.7 inch 2,048 x 1,536 pixel “retina display” that many are assuming will be the highlight feature of the iPad 3, is Sharp. Both Samsung and LG have yet to reach a satisfactory level of yields on such advanced ...

The big G's photo-sharing app has left the private beta mode it's been in the last few weeks, and is now available to download by any iPhone owner who likes the idea of "growing vines" based on their photographic adventures.
Like the Google Catalogs app yesterday, Photovine seems to only be available on the iOS App Store—what's with that, Google? No love for us Android users? It's a free download, and yes, your photos can be posted to Twitter and Facebook for maximum piss-yer-friends-off functionality.

Trouble with high-resolution display yields might have pushed the next iPad for 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 3
The version of the iPad 2 with a high-res display, which was supposed to come by year-end, is now reportedly been delayed due to screen production issues.
Apple's next tablet is known as the iPad 2 Plus, iPad HD, or simply iPad 3, and some iOS 5 coding revealed that it should sport a screen with double the current resolution, or 2048x1536 pixels. The high-res slate is supposedly aimed at professional graphic designers, film editors and the like, and rumored to come with dedicated versions of Apple's image and video editing software.

OS X 10.7.1 Lion Update fixes Wi-Fi Issues and more
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleMac OS X 10.7
Since the release of OS X Lion in July, I was pretty pleased with the new features. Then the Wi-Fi connection did not restore all the time after wake-up. Only a Wi-Fi restart fixed the connection. Today Apple released the first OS X Lion Update with OS X 10.7.1. One of the mentioned fixes is the improvement of the Wi-Fi reliability. I already updated my iMac and lets hope the bug is gone.
Other fixes in OS X 10.7.1:
- Address an issue that may cause the system to become unresponsive when playing a video in Safari
- Resolve an issue that may cause system audio to stop working when using HDMI or optical audio out
- Improve the reliability of Wi-Fi connections

More behind the scenes Apple shuffling today, with good news and bad about two of the most anticipated iOS devices on the horizon. The iPhone 5 could well be on track for a September 12 launch, Engadget‘s tipster informs them, after word that carrier Telefonica will begin scaling back its current iPhone stock in time for that date so as to “prepare us for the launch of a new smart phone.” However, Apple’s supposed plans for an iPad 3 release in the second half of 2011 have reportedly been axed over high-res screen shortages.

Apple to invest $1 billion in Sharp LCD factory due to Samsung dispute
Like UnlikeFiled in: SHARPApple
Last week an infographic made by The Economist was floating around on the internet that we didn’t cover because … hey, there’s only so many inforgraphics you can shove in people’s faces before they get bored, right? Anyway, one of the key pieces of data in said graphic was that of the $178 worth of components that go into making an iPhone 4, $45.68 is what Apple pays to Samsung; that’s a hair over 25%. Now unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock, you’re aware of the court battles Samsung and Apple have been waged in over patents, trademark violations, and who knows what else. Just this week we reported that Apple has plans to shift production of their next generation A6 processor to Taiwan ...

Report: Apple To Build 26 Million iPhone 5 (or whatever it’s called) In The Second Half Of 2011
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4
Apple is gearing up for a big second half of 2011. The computer company is reportedly ramping up iPhone production lines by 12 to 13 percent, which includes orders for the next-gen iPhone, iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4.
Per a supply chain source, industry watchdog DigiTimes is reporting some staggering production numbers. Apparently Apple’s 2H2011 iPhone order is now more than 56 million units, up from 50 million units and 26 just iPhone 5s. Interestingly enough, the time frame for iPhone 5 orders shifted slightly, with the Q3 order decreasing from 7 million units to 5.5 million units while the Q4 order increased from 14 million units to 20 million units. That’s 20 million iPhone 5s. If those ...

Apple allegedly doctored evidence in patent case against Samsung
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Apple has managed to block sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia and in the European Union, but new evidence from Computerworld’s Dutch sister site Webwereld.nl suggests the iPad maker may be tampering with evidence. According to the report, Apple is using an image of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that is purposely distorted to look more like the iPad. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is presented with an aspect ratio of 1.36 (the proportions of the device itself, not the display) while the iPad is shown with a 1.30 aspect ratio. However, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet itself actually has a 1.46 aspect ratio. “This is a blunder,” Klos Morel Vos & Schaap lawyer Arnout Groen told Webwereld.nl. “That such a ‘...

Carriers testing LTE-enabled 4G iPhone?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4
Earlier this year, Verizon CEO Dan Mead all but confirmed that an LTE Apple device would be making its way to Verizon. Eventually. And no 2011 Apple rumor spattering would be complete without at least a casual mention of the high-speed 4G network. Now, BGR claims to have received an internal iOS test build from a major carrier, revealing a property list file for LTE. This of course doesn't guarantee that Apple will be shipping an LTE iPhone flavor later this year, but that it at least remains a possibility. Still, an October iPhone launch would fall nicely in line with recent confirmation that AT&T will be releasing an LTE smartphone in "late 2011," and 4G compatibility could definitely expl...

Apple patent wants to get rid of those pesky fingerprints once and for all
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
What Apple surely has a lot of, besides cash and fans, of course, is patents. Sadly, though, only a fraction of them make it to a gadget that a mere mortal can get their hands on. When it comes to this innovation, however, we are really crossing our fingers in hopes of seeing it materialize as it would take care of an issue that pretty much anyone who has ever used a touchscreen phone has faced – fingerprints.
As some of you probably know, the iPhone 3GS was the first smartphone in Apple's portfolio to get an oleophobic coating on its display, thanks to which it had the tendency of collecting less finger smudge than an ordinary touchscreen. The trouble with the technology, however, is that t...
