Samsung can't seem to catch a break. Just last night, it was revealed the company is under investigation by the Department of Justice for its use of standard-setting patents. Today comes much worse news—a serious loss to Apple at the International Trade Commission.
Apple's new iMac announcement today included an interesting bit of information on an upcoming technology Apple calls "Fusion Drive." According to Phil Schiller this morning, the technology takes a relatively small solid state disk and a relatively large spinning hard disk drive, then "fuses" them together into a single drive.
The iPad mini is a totally new product for Apple. It represents a beautiful juxtaposition of the iPhone’s 4-inch display and the Retina iPad’s larger 10-inch canvas. While the rest of the industry has already shifted its focus to 7-inch tablets, Apple entered uncharted territory for itself today.
As usual, Apple didn't share many specifics about its new A6 "Extreme" (A6X) processor, which powers the fourth-generation iPad. However, by looking at Apple's claims that it's "twice as fast" as the A5X-powered third-gen iPad, it may be possible to deduce what's inside.
Earlier this year, Apple CEO Tim Cook famously said that Cupertino was going to “double down on secrecy” this year. It hasn’t worked. Apple — once a company known for the surprise “one more thing” — had every single detail of the iPhone 5 leaked to the public before the actual event. Can Apple ever get its secrecy back?
Probably not. A new report talking to a number of Apple employees under the condition of anonymity suggests that while Apple HQ is as secretive of new products as ever, Cupertino can do nothing about leaks that come out of the Asian supply chain.
It’s no secret that Research In Motion, the maker of the fabled BlackBerry, is on the decline.
If falling subscriber numbers last month weren’t bad enough, last week, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) said that it will end its contract with RIM, replacing over 17,000 employees devices with iPhones in a deal worth $2.1 million.
Apple is holding its special event on Tuesday, and you can get your full dose of the news right here.
The press conference, at which Apple is expected to debut a smaller version of the iPad as well as updates to Apple's Mac line, kicks off at 10 a.m. Pacific. CNET's Scott Stein, Rich Brown and I will be bringing you the news live from the California Theatre in downtown San Jose, Calif.
Could Hewlett-Packard trump the iPad?
With Windows 8 general release due on October 26, it's a good opportunity to take a look at the competition coming down the pike.
In this case, from Apple's Silicon Valley neighbor, HP. It took way too long -- Apple announced the iPad in 2010 -- but HP now has a real iPad alternative -- the Envy x2. Or, put another way, should I think about swapping my iPad for the x2? Personal musings aside, HP has a different design philosophy from Apple -- so it's not simply a question (for me at least) of which device is better spec for spec.
The famous iPhone hacker ‘Comex’, who engineered ways to hack Apple’s mobile operating system, is no longer doing work for the company.
Comex – real name Nicholas Allegra – was hired by Apple in September 2011 and announced the move via Twitter. This week, he again turned to the social networking service to announce his demise.
L33tdawg: We already covered this and the steps needed to turn it off in Want Better Battery Life in iOS 6? Turn off tracking!
Apple has enabled user tracking of its customers once again, with the recently released iOS 6 enabling advertisers to see which apps users have run, and which adverts they've seen – all for the benefit of the users, of course.
