I agree, the upgrade program pretty much makes this rumour a non-starter. I could, though, imagine the 4" budget phone (which wouldn't be aimed at current iPhone 6 upgraders, but rather a new demographic) coming out early. Since it'll be older tech,…

This is getting old. Sue Apple if it's done something illegal, or fix you tax codes: in other words do YOUR jobs.

This is excellent news for Apple, as it shows that even after a blowout quarter for iPhone sales, they still have lots of room for growth. Buy buy buy. If they were #1, I'd sell ...

But doesn't Apple now owe lots of money too? All the bonds they issued in order to fund dividends (because they couldn't access the offshore cash). So their "cash pile" is really 200B - debt, which I believe is about 43B at the moment. Or am I miss…

But is it fair to compare a 2nd Gen iPhone 5 (i.e. the 5s), with the 1st Gen iPhone 6. The 5s may have lost value more rapidly due to it's "dated" design ... i.e. identical to the 5. It's a bit like comparing car resale values for the last year of a…

This is very good news ... I was a bit worried Philips would take the more arrogant "we were here first, so use our interface" stance. I also love my Hue, and this means I extend the use of Hue bulbs through my entire house.
