It's really too bad those rumours that Intel might have designed a custom chip for Apple didn't pan out, since something like a dual core Crystalwell with even just 32 MB of eDRAM would have really helped graphics on the 13" MacBook Pro. I guess it'…

If Apple can't go Retina with the iPad Mini they can still improve the screen by going full sRGB gamut, improving contrast, and reducing screen reflectance (which DisplayMate found to be worse than the Nexus 7) all of which improve perceived sharpne…

Apple runs a Free App of the Week promotion. Does anyone know how that works? Is Apple just promoting an app that would have gone free anyways? Or is Apple paying the developer part or all of the price for every download to make it free?

Since WIND uses AWS, I'm guessing they are only supporting recently produced iPhone 5 with AWS support and older iPhone 5 released before T-Mobile became an official partner that don't have AWS support won't work?

I don't think the judge is questioning their right to have a case, the judge is questioning how they go about it. Specifically, the judge obviously wants an efficient trial. Instead both parties threw as many patents and claims as they could come …

Hopefully a mix of super-thin plastic and glass isn't as shatter prone as it sounds.

It's quite a bit of work to bring up a chip of a given process. Apple trying to shift silicon production away from Samsung is likely and Apple dual sourcing is also reasonable. But, making SoC at 3 different foundries each with distinct processes?…

I thought the issue with supporting many cell phone bands is broader than just baseband chipset support. Different bands also need different support components including power amplifiers and antennae which add cost, space, power, and complexity ma…

Does Apple usually release betas for iOS _._.x updates? I thought they generally drop without much notice?

Pulling in the 2nd gen iPad Mini would probably make it even less likely that it'll have a retina display. It's not like there's been a breakthrough in display or battery tech in the last 2 months since the iPad Mini was announced and there isn't li…

I don't suppose OpenGL 4.x support is part of the updated graphics systems?

Hmm. I wonder if this is Jony Ive's first usability modification as head of Human Interface.

If Apple intends to switch away from Samsung for logic fabrication, it's obviously to their benefit to keep Samsung in the dark as long as possible. However, if Apple's only exploring the possibility of moving away from Samsung and haven't actually …

A 32nm A5X doesn't make much sense for the iPad Mini. A 32nm A5X would be about the same size as the A6 while the A6 has an equivalent speed GPU and a much faster CPU. The only advantage the A5X has is higher memory bandwidth and higher GPU fill r…

Is offline caching in iOS 6 Maps actually saving to flash memory or only showing what's resident in RAM? For example, the iPhone 5 has 1GB of RAM so is the offline cached area smaller in 512MB RAM devices like the iPhone 4S or 256MB RAM iPhone 3GS? …
