This company has their second quarter earnings call tomorrow. Coincidence? This kind of story could be an effort to motivate investors. Basically, the message 'we are going to make Apple, Google and Amazon our customers' is exactly what makes some …

I suppose Google are reading this and thinking why but the data? They could give everyone a vacuum cleaning robot for next to nothing and get all the data for free. Amazon are probably thinking they could sell you a cheap robot and not only could i…

By the way, Qualcomm outrageous cut on the retail price of the entire product is a major reason why laptops don't have a SIM card tray.

Again. Neither MacRumors or 9to5Mac appear to be running this story. Why? These images are old, we saw them and discussed them several weeks ago.

We seen this before, months ago, it's not new. Almost all the rumors point to a device with a glass back. This is not it!

The high price of the upcoming iPhone Edition (iPhone 8) is going to result in a lot of negative publicity. An iPhone SE upgrade at around the same time would balance this out and send a strong message that Apple cares about all of it's customers. …

On my iPhone 6 the top of the power button aligns horizontally with the top of the volume-up button. It's no accident. The button in this render does not align neatly with one of the buttons on the other side - this would hurt Jonathan Ive's eyes -…

This is a regurgitation/piggy back on a report from Friday. The problem with this is that Apple is reported to have ordered 100 million pieces of the part in question. This is only assumed to be destined for the so called "iPhone 8". Since indicat…

VR can't compete against AR. VR has few practical applications beyond gaming. VR is not a good human interface because it cuts the user off from the world around them and the people in it - the computing experiences that people love most are the on…

We read "the source says recent reports claiming Apple has yet to determine a final location for Touch ID are plausible" No, no, no, it is not "plausible". The manufacturing process requires these things to be nailed down months in advance. There …

jbdragon said: Those prices are just crazy. Apple will be pricing themselves right out of the market if this rumor is true. If Apple is going to release a so called iPhone 7s and 7s Plus and a iPhone 8, well then the iPhone 7s and 7s Pl…

Gruber's piece is excellent and his logic is rock solid.

MacBook Pro Retina batteries are originally adhered to the upper case assembly as a single part from Apple. The parts we sell have been separated from this assembly. Consequently, the battery adhesive may have some cosmetic flaws. Does this mean t…

This is simply dangerous. The high tech batteries into today's products are high precision and high energy density. We have seen some phones restricted on airlines because of fires. If the battery is not designed to be user replaceable we need to …

Apple's share price did not appear to double. It appeared to loose about $20. It seems that only a few sources made this mistake but it spread - I spotted it at the head of the 9to5Mac home page. I checked a better source and confirmed it was an er…

It can't practically replace TouchID. Imagine holding your phone down to the reader to pay for your Tube journey and having to lean over and push your face down their over the reader! Facual recognition would be a welcome edition, especially for s…
