The purpose for the iPhone 5c is to get around the production bottleneck that cost Apple so much money in making the original iPhone 5. The iPhone 5s will be equally hard to manufacture. Removing this bottleneck will put Apple back at the 40% gros…

Baytrail based device from Apple. Larger ipad with finder app to allow full os x apps? Not sure what the device will do, but expect it to be what Apple wanted to do 5 years ago when Intel wouldn't hit their power envelope for the iPad.

The real question for Apple over the long term is will this lead in app quality continue or just drop off once Android products become ubiquitous? I am not sure, but I suspect that the same drive for the lowest possible price is forcing Android tab…

Perhaps there would be less cannibalization of Apple's line up if there were a few more moves to leverage the success of the iPhone and iPad. I would like Apple to consider is adding either an emulation layer to run iPhone software on a Mac …

Anyone ever suspect Apple will add an A7 chip to all it's macs? It would be really cheap, increase available software, extend battery life or save power when surfing, unite the 2 seperate platforms, and make testing iphone software easier for devel…

Intel just announced that they are delaying their 14 nm Tic or process upgrade by one year. We are watching Moore's Law die a slow and steady death and Apple seems to be the only company who has all the pieces in place to take advantage. They ha…

I think the good enough factor has definitely started to happen in smart phones. Apple is unique in their planning and thinking about this problem. They have always expected this to happen and they have a whole playbook of new features to add to t…

I agree that the "hobbiest" comment was not warranted or even realistic. Android has real strengths including: customization, geek appeal, and broad market penetration. I like Apple and believe they have really made some real strides in the market…

I am a democrat who wants a government to collect all the taxes owed. Apple does not owe taxes on money earned and spent overseas. To say otherwise is to expose yourself as an incompetent in tax law. If there was some effort to make overseas inco…

No way. Steve Ballmer sees himself as a tough guy who made his millions the hard way...he fought tooth and nail for them and no upstart Apple computer is going to cut into his success. Microsoft is used to lying about their software with check bo…

I am increasingly of the opinion that there is no news that can be trusted with regard to Apple. Every one has made up their minds already and are simply following the information that proves what they already know. Apple 2.0 and Asymco are the ex…

I had to recently replace my wife's iPhone because it was stolen. She was at fault for leaving it in an unlocked car in our suburban garage with the door open. The creepy part was the idea of having someone going through our property at 530 am whi…

I hope they were buying all day today, since there would be no conflict of interest and the board would have already voted at least last week. I haven't had time to dig into all the information. I wonder what the current share count for Apple is a…

I understand the outrage about the seeming prejudice in calling the whole Chinese people thieves. The problem you are ignoring is the lack of outrage in China over the blatant theft of intellectual properties is an institutional part of Chinese gov…

I will be quicker to lock in a profit after this and I don't think I am alone on this sentiment. This has been a painful 8 months. Apple is getting hammered because they can't change their plans in 6 months. They are producing what they pre…

I have often watched as Apple sat on technology to wait patiently for the proper moment to implement it or led the led the pack with it such as USB and SSD's. This story has a new element to the strategic nature of adding such technology. Apple ha…

The problem for Apple is any victory will be symbolic rather than financial. This market has become so big that it is strategic in scope and no country will allow consolidation to limit the success of native manufacturers. China is already putti…

jonshf do you really need to be reminded that air friction is a negligible effect with falling bodies that are solids like a phone or a rock? Galileo proved that over 500 years ago dropping rocks off the tower at Pisa. The force of impact will cha…

I think Research in motions amicus brief actually asks the most important position. Is there ever a case where a SEP can be used to get injunctive relief. I expect the court to answer that question in the positive. I am not sure the court would w…
