No Retina-like display is what I predict. No use for it and lots of reasons to leave it out of this revision. No Retina = better battery life, lighter weight, more effective memory, faster performance, lower cost. Why do this when the competition…

DigiTimes believes that it is important to provide a constant flow of iPad rumours. As such, the publication deems it necessary to insist that Apple is on a schedule which calls for the iPad to be redesigned twice a year. The reason is that if it we…

It's hard to figure out how consumers would react even if they were provided with a TV producing an overall superior picture. Fact is that when it comes to TV, there is a rather substantial lack of knowledge among most consumers. There are more than…

What I think is being missed is that the Apple TV is really a companion to what really matters to Apple and that's becoming a source of TV content for the majority. Apple is already providing TV content after a fashion but it is far too expensive to…

It's true that Internet providers would make some money still because whatever Apple does it will require and Internet connection to work. But even so, if Apple's fee is manageable, I think we can all still end up paying less. If, for example, you p…

The timing might just cause Apple to fail even if a good product is developed. A few years ago, when $2,000 TVs (in the Canadian market) were common, that was one thing but now you can get a decent set for less than $1,000. Combine that with uncerta…
