The caveat, "Walkley noted that the share controlled by Apple and Samsung is likely lower when the profits of Chinese vendors such as Lenovo, ZTE, Huawei and Coolpad are included" is rather important to this story. Lenovo just moved into third pla…

DisplaySearch knows their stuff and I would tend to believe them. However, the quote The "iWatch" is rumored to carry a wide array of biometric sensors, and many believe it will function as a stand-alone product, rather than be dependent upon ano…

I see both good and bad in these numbers for Apple. The good news is they are doing very well at maintaining a high ASP while still growing. With the 5S in particular they've managed to slightly grow ASP from Q2 to Q3 this year, in a market that i…

I truly hope the rumour "The two new iPhone models will feature screen sizes of 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches" is correct. This would put Apple squarely in the game with the flagship devices of all other smartphone makers. I realise some people here th…
