  • New Apple event invite recalls original Macintosh, iMac introductions

    Because of the significance of the use of the word "Hello" (used only twice before in 1984 and 1998), we should expect a major shift in Apple's new Macs. It is NOT going to be minor updates. One off-the-wall possibility is that Apple will be moving to ARM processors in the new Macs... Before anyone comments how "crazy" that sounds, here are a few facts to remember: - The A10 in the iPhone 7 & 7 Plus have been benchmarked as faster than the Intel CPUs in the MacBook Air models! - The A10X processor has had benchmarks leaked that are about 20% faster than the A10, and Apple could very easily have much more powerful A-Series processors in the works. - Apple has switched the Mac's processor architecture multiple times in the past, going from Motorola CPUs to PowerPC CPUs to Intel CPUs, each time the transition was made by running previous apps in emulation until they were recoded for the newer processors. - Apple has had difficulty relying on Intel to produce new CPUs on time to meet their production schedule, and Intel has not been advancing their CPUs as quickly as Apple has been advancing their own A-series processors.

  • Alleged 'iPhone 7' leak offers crystal clear look at larger single-lens camera, tweaked antenna lin

    Looks good.
    Another fake. Adjusting the levels, the image is overly pixellated around details like the camera and Apple logo, indicating that there was cut & paste. The other clue is that there is no printing ("iPhone", "Designed by Apple...", model number, etc.) on the case, which should be there when the case is anodized.
  • App Store billings reached all-time high in July, $50B paid out to developers

    That's incredible! Since Apple gets 70% of the revenues, it means that in only 8 years (since 2008) Apple has raked in about $117 Billion, JUST from the App Store alone! And we know that there has been tangental acceleration in annual revenue from the App Store, so a high proportion of that $117 Billion was acquired in the current year.
