Today in Apple’s “Hot News” section, Steve Jobs decided to give customers and critics his “Thoughts on Flash” which turned in to much more than a few thoughts (Read Here). From the day the iPhone came out the lack of flash on the device that wants to replace your everything has been a sticking point for a lot of people. For Jobs this decision came down to six main reasons:
Apple on Wednesday announced the dates of its Worldwide Developers Conference, where the company is expected to introduce a new iPhone (even though tech blog Gizmodo may have spoiled the surprise).
Taking place June 7 to June 11 at San Francisco's Moscone West, the five-day conference includes hands-on sessions for software developers to become familiar with iPhone OS 4 and Mac OS X. In previous WWDC events, Apple has announced new products during a keynote presentation that kicks off the conference.
A US gamer has been banned from buying iPads after reaching his lifetime limit.
Apple made it clear that it was limiting iPad purchases to two per person per day, but until now it hadn't let slip that it had a lifetime limit.
Just three weeks after the US launch, bootleg versions of Apple's hot-selling iPad tablet PCs have begun showing up on the shelves of online and real-world shops in piracy-prone China.
Apple recently delayed the iPad's international launch after huge demand in the United States caught the maker of trendy iPhones and MacBooks off guard. But Chinese consumers looking for knock-offs of the company's latest must-have product need look no further than a teeming electronics mall in Shenzhen, the southern Chinese boomtown near the border with Hong Kong.
The latest on that alleged iPhone 4G prototype: Brian Lam, Gizmodo's editorial director, has published an official letter he received from Apple requesting that the device be returned immediately. Gizmodo believes that such official communication proves the device is real. However, it should be noted that this does not necessarily mean that the device is the next iPhone--just that it's an Apple prototype of some sort.
Apple's next-generation iPhone has been obtained by Gizmodo, confirming the forthcoming hardware's forward-facing camera, high-resolution 960x460 display, camera flash, a secondary mic for noise cancellation, and a number of design changes in the new-look device.
Author Jason Chen went hands-on with the device Monday, in a major leak completely uncharacteristic for a company as secretive as Apple. It is the exact same device revealed in photos over the weekend by Engadget.
General public, meet Gray Powell. Gray Powell, meet the world. See, according to Gizmodo, Gray is the unfortunate Apple employee who lost a prototype next-gen iPhone in a San Francisco Bay Area bar. The supposed carelessness has sparked a flurry of cloak- and dagger-style discussion in the blogosphere, among tech pundits, and, of course, on Twitter.
Apple fans who claim that the Mac is more secure than PCs not only are wrong, but they're ignorant about their security risks, says a well-known hacker and security expert who has made a name for himself finding vulnerabilities in Windows. And Apple itself doesn't take security as seriously as does Microsoft, he claims.
Marc Maiffret, currently chief security architect at security firm FireEye first gained a modicum of fame as a hacker targeting Microsoft products. For example, he uncovered the security hole that the Code Red worm exploited back in 2001 to attack Windows servers.
Apple will introduce the next generation of iPhone on Tuesday 22 June 2010 according to the latest rumours.
In line with recent Apple iPhone announcements, the company has reportedly booked the Yerba Buena Center for Arts, located by the Moscone Center in San Francisco, to unveil the new iPhone. The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), is likely booked to run betwen Monday, 28 June, 2010 to Friday 2 July, 2010.
Sure, it would be great if your supply and demand estimates always came out on target, but if they’re going to be off, unexpectedly high demand is certainly the preferable problem. With a mixture of apologetic regret and glee, Apple announced this morning that it just wasn’t going to have enough iPads on hand to start worldwide sales on schedule.
