Another vote for "great article". (This _is_ an Apple-centric website; if you want perfectly even-handed analysis, you may have come to the wrong place). I tend to think Option #3 is most likely, although I think due to human nature, the jury will…

"Flash"? What's that?

Remember, these are the guys who put benchmark cheating code in their phones, and when it was revealed for all to see, they flat denied it. This is the company that leaked Apple's confidential business info that Koh made them turn over. When they d…

One possibility which occurred to me that I haven't seen anyone mention is whether this is a reactive move on Apple's part due to Qualcomm behavior. I think the shift to 64 bit processing caught Qualcomm seriously off guard; they recently came out a…

Honestly, I think the main thing Apple is after is making close copies of Apple's products a painful proposition. Samsung has already opened another non-android avenue of Tizen, which I doubt they would have pursued seriously if they had been able t…
