"Notice how the 4.94 screen size in the image is roughly the same size as the entire iPhone 5. To me there's good reason to think the iPhone 6's front will be all screen -- So same size as iPhone 5 in the end and not a bigger phone at all." Really,…

I'm not one to jump on mergers and acquisitions as a panacea, or as a cheap trick to boost revenue. But Apple could certainly pick up a few companies that would assist in services, payments, maps, and other core/future interests. I'd start with Four…

If you a consumer can compare a mini to a full-size iPad -- which they will -- then why can't a consumer compare a mini to a Surface? Wake up folks. People don't want to spend $500 and up on tablets. They were spending about that on an iPad, and the…

Well...should we really try to figure out whether Android is winning at AT&T?

Anandtech detailed how they made a quiet update to the iPad 2 with the SoC processor. It allowed for better battery life - about 20% increase. So there is precedent for this. And no, they won't drop the price on the old dock connector units. What th…

@jason98 lmao. No, a $99 Nexus isn't coming, and even if it did it wouldn't have comparable specs, similar appeal, or as tight an ecosystem to cause worry.

@philboogie I agree that 7 million iPad Minis is on the low side. Probably closer to 10 million. However 49 million sounds about right. As long as they can get supply higher. 37 million iPhones sold last holiday quarter, and demand for the 5 is grea…

Yes, you can. I can almost guarantee you that Apple does similar product forecasting to see how much cannibalization they can expect and if the margins they're estimating will offset it. That's how business works.

@daharder Why would Apple not release an 8GB capacity? No consumer is forced to buy that if it doesn't suit their needs. It's smart because as you said they can reach a particular market or a consumer that has few needs for large amount of space.

Great write-up. One of probably only 3 articles worth reading on this subject. Excellent job!

@tallest skil Why would November be a bad month for releases? It's perfect for holiday season.

@macvertigo the power of Passbook is that it holds your cards and presents them without you doing a thing once you reach your location. Way better than having to go open the app. It even can present the card on your lock screen so you don't have to …
