The casings are identical to those if the iPhone 5. This report makes absolutely no sense. None. Zero. If (huge if) Apple had an issue with any particular casing, they'd just make more of the one case they had no issues with (Silver) and dump those …

Sounds expensive. Very expensive.

If Apple was controlled by analysts it would have been sold off in pieces for its patents way back in the 1980s. Thank all that's holy those idiots don't run Apple's board! Apple only puts out a handful of products a year and, barring a few failure…

This article totally fails to address the reason why Android exists in the first place: to ensure Google's relevance as a service provider. Remember, in the early iPhone days, Google provided most of the online/cloud services used by iOS. Remembe…

The black background makes sense (as earlier posters have suggested) and is in line with the leaked 5C boxes, wherein the background wallpaper indicates the actual devices color. Besides, there is no way to demo the parallax effect on a sticker with…

Two more reasons this will not happen: 1. Antitrust - this purchase would never be approved by the DOJ. Nuance dominates the speech recognition market and a large player like Apple buying it merely to shut out competition is a perfect example of wh…

Apple won't do this. It's a bad buy for Apple. The high price tag of Nuance can't be justified. Apple's licensing costs for Siri are far less than purchasing the company outright. As for Icahn, he may be able to push around the boards of smaller and…

Just to comment on why Apple should NOT bring back the Apple HiFi: the product didn't sell well. It sounded decent, but most single speakers in that price range sound similar. It's the last part that rings most true for me though. Devices like these…

Obviously we don't know what to expect from an iWatch at this point, but as suggested earlier the real focus should be biometrics. There is no point adding feature duplication when every smartphone has wifi, camera, etc. Biometric data in the other …

Some of you suggested this might be a decoy to throw people off. Here's why I do t think so: all of the leaks have come from Samsung. Samsung keeps sending out these devices and giving interviews "dropping hints" and such. Apple actually tries to ke…

I'm usually not one for gossip, but I'm kinda curious about this coworker whom these guys are fighting over. Clearly she traded up. She must be quite a special lady with a very specialized repertoire of skills.

An earlier poster made a great point: it won't fit in the pocket. That alone kills this thing. Here's another point: why give it two cameras on the back (stereoscopic = 3D) when it can't playback 3D? They could have removed all the cameras and kno…
