Once the iPad pro comes out, the market will scramble to play catch up again. I myself am anxiously awaiting this product.

I can't wait for this. My MacBook Air is long in the tooth and the battery life stinks. My iPad is a pretty nice device but I get tired of lugging around an additional Bluetooth keyboard. I don't want the new rMB. Software for iOS is superior to wha…

If Apple releases this, I am definitely purchasing one. I need a replacement for my MacBook Air and am not interested in any of Apple's new laptops. This thing should have superior battery life to any MacBook with the upcoming A9 which should also…

So who makes the APL 0778 CPU? And if it is truly on a 22 nm process, going to 14 nm should theoretically squeeze some extra battery life from the wearable computer. Perhaps Apple will simply shrink the thickness of the battery and keep the operatin…

Apple spends 1.9 billion on R&D and the returns in the sales of their products and profits are enormous. On the other hand, Intel spends over double that in bribing the Chinese OEMs to manufacture mobile devices using x86 processors. Never mind …

Developing in Objective-C on windows in order to run iOS apps seems an act of desperation. The question is why would developers want to take the time to do so. I don't care to run iOS applications on Windows. I have an iPhone and an iPad to do it. I…

Samsung should be able to be the one company who can compete with Apple in the mobile market. They make the CPU, the display panels and the memory chips. There is no markup as they can get the parts at cost. Xiaomi and the others cannot. I have a su…

As Apple moves forward on the development of its A series processor, it would certainly behoove them to put it into a lower cost notebook that could run an ARM variant of OSX. Or they could simply upgrade iOS to incorporate the functionality of OSX.…

ARMH revenues are up while INTC is flat. x86 sales are stalling in a major way. I guess stick PCs are now what Intel thinks will save the day. I can't help but think of the Zune when seeing those things. I will be upgrading my second generation …

Apple could move to TSMC for their CPUs. However, Samsung is still the leader in flash memory and among the leaders in display technology. It would be in Apple's best interests to work with Samsung. Samsung hasn't stolen any of Apple's IP for use …

A 50% capacity increase would be nice. I don't want to discount that. But if Apple could develop a working Li-oxygen battery, holds the patent and releases the energy source only for their own products, it would be game over for much of the rest of …
-
The margins on a low cost Mac mini are too low. Apple is still a business and will dedicate their resources to the areas where they feel the market is headed, not where it has been. Hence the Apple watch gets all of the development focus. It's unf…

Let's see, this thing costs double of what the iPad Air 2 does for similar processing performance at half the battery life. The iPad is lighter and therefore more portable and I can go an entire work day on a single charge. I can attach a real keybo…

Perhaps the story is true. Apple would not put all of its eggs into one basket so to speak. They probably had a contingency to use TSMC all along. The bigger issue is why Global Foundries yields are so low since they are using the same manufacturi…

Lithium oxygen batteries have the highest potential energy density of any type of battery. Why wouldn't the focus be primarily on that technology? Sodium air and potassium air batteries beat lithium ion as far as energy density is concerned also. Th…
-
Just a simple search actually shows that someone actually developed a working potassium air battery. They have substituted lithium for the potassium. None of the technical details were revealed. But the promise of lithium air technology seems like i…

Lithium air batteries do have technical challenges. But they will be solved. Much like LG is bringing out large screen OLED televisions to market and the only manufacturer doing so at this time. Apple has the financial ability and putting the tech…

Intel has lost the mobile market. Unless they do something about trying to win Apple's business in simply becoming a fab for the A series, they are certainly going to become a far smaller company and may end up going under. Their real problem is t…
-
The Core M has a big disadvantage, however. It's the cost of the CPU. Apple's iOS is also optimized to the A series chip. It is doubtful that Intel provides a highly customized CPU to Apple alone. The Core M is a generic chip that anyone can buy. He…

And I forgot to mention that lithium air batteries have a theoretical energy density of 10 times current li ion technology. Hence there is still huge potential in battery technology. So an iPad could theoretically last 100 hours and the iWatch for 1…
