It's not a trade-in, it's a lease. You hand the phone back at the end of the year and get a new one. In your situation, there's possibly a sweet-spot keeping your existing AT&T service with a new iPhone every 2 years for one of you and using th…

An iPhone 6-spec device in the new iPod form factor - even if a couple of mm thicker - would be perfect for me!

"won't support 4K content streaming at launch" "4K is... still in its infancy" All about streaming, not the hardware capabilities of the box. If there's an A8/A8X chip in the aTV then it will support 4K. I see two possibilities: 1) 4K support wil…

OPEC's refusal to reduce output to prop up the oil price is aimed at two targets, both of which have higher extraction costs than the conventional operations mainly in the Middle East. US shale needs a price of $60-$80 per barrel to be profitable, a…

Seems to suggest higher resolution displays: the A7 can drive an iPad display and the A8 has more pixel-pushing power than that so to need additional graphics cores resonates with the @3x sprites that we've seen. iPad Air at 3072 x 2304 resolution…

The sapphire furnaces have been built, there will be minimal economic value in dismantling them, so they will remain intact. With advanced manufacturing plant, the primary cost is in the plant itself: running it is relatively cheap. So, with the cap…

What I'd buy... is an 'iPhone Mini.' The 750x1334 resolution of the iPhone 6 at the 401ppi density of the 6 gives a screen size of 3.8". Given shrinkage of bezels, this would come in at around the same size as the original iPhone thru the iPhone 4S…

Tim Cook stated in the keynote that US card payments totalled $4tr/yr Apple could conservatively be looking at 10% of that market in year 2, collecting 0.1% - 0.25% of the value of those transactions. That comes out at $400m - $1bn, so good call…

OK, so Apple have put a lot of effort into building a new ultra-low-power coprocessor (M7) for the latest round of devices so that the relatively high-power application processor (A7) can be shut down more of the time. So... the analysts reckon th…
