Today is Halloween, and to most Americans, that means parties, costumes, pumpkins - the works. But for many of us geeks, it's the eve of the release of the iPad Air, and with the larger of the two new Apple tablets now ready for release, Apple fans far and wide are preparing themselves to queue overnight once again. But the iPad mini with Retina display, which Apple also announced at a special event last week, remains pretty elusive as far as a release date goes, and with yield issues apparent for some time now, it's unknown when the smaller slate will actually make its debut. Now, however, we might finally have our answer.
We're all waiting, no doubt in vain, for Apple to confirm just how well the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c has sold individually rather than as a pair, but we now know just which colors buyers have been favoring thanks to a poll put together by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners.
Apple is no stranger to catastrophic clangers when it comes to hardware. Can anyone ever forget the debacle that was lovingly named 'antennagate' by journalists after the iPhone 4 suffered from what we can only call a debatable antenna flaw. For a company that prides itself in the details, Apple can have some pretty woeful slips when it comes to quality control.
The iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c may only have been around for a short time, but already, the rumor mill is abuzz with talk of the iPhone 6. In the run-up to the release of the last few iPhones, we've heard that Apple would be going with a larger display, and although the iPhone 5 did somewhat break the long-standing mold, it's yet to compete with the many 5-inch+ Android devices and soon, Windows Phone devices on the market. This could be all about to change with the next iPhone, though, with a new report suggesting that the device, which will probably be launched next September, will include a larger, 1080p display.
Apple has officially published their latest financial results that give a thorough insight into how the Cupertino based company has performed in the last fiscal quarter. Many technology analysts and industry insiders have been using the days running up to the Apple Earnings Conference Call to declare their predictions that the company would fall short of projections due to lackluster demand for the iPhone 5 because new devices were on the verge of being announced. With posted revenues of $37.5 billion it seems that Tim Cook and his executive team can take a lot of positives from the financial performance.
The iPad Air is almost ready for release, and naturally, Apple's accessory partners are hot on its tail. We've already seen the first batch of what Belkin has to offer the Cupertino's rebranded slab, and now, Logitech has come through with a substantial helping of cases and accessories for the fifth-gen iPad.
Apple’s earnings release for the third quarter of 2013 is just around the corner, with the company announcing its financial performance for Q3 next Monday. That means it’s time for earnings previews, and famous Apple Inc. analyst Gene Munster has provided just that. Among all the discussion on Apple’s financial performance and upcoming prospects, what interests us most is Gene’s claims of a new iPhone 6 being in the works; one with a considerably larger screen, and that will see the light of day around summer next year.
Apple's Mac Pro is something of a looker even in its standard shiny black guise, and if you're hardcore enough to stump up the minimum $3,000 price of entry there's little doubt that you'll be getting a good looking computer as well as a mighty powerful one. But everything can always be improved.
When you find yourself in the position that Apple is in as a company, it seems that you become an easy target for replication and parody. No company is whiter than white these days, but Apple has often found their work and announcements being mimicked and mocked a lot more than the average company in the technology industry. The latest business giant to take a pop at Apple is Amazon, who is using the recently announced iPad Air to advertise their own Kindle Fire HDX tablet that is available immediately for pre-order.
Apple's release of iOS 7 has been nothing if not controversial. As we sit here, a month after its release to the public, the seventh big release of Apple's iPhone and iPad software may be installed on millions upon millions of devices worldwide, but that doesn't mean that everyone is happy with it.
