Google and Oracle have been going against one another in court over Oracle's insistence that Google should be paying royalties to the company for its use of Java software within the Android platform. A lawyer for Oracle Corp has crunched some numbers as part of the litigation and found that Android has generated revenue of $31 billion in its lifetime. $22 billion of that is pure profit for Google. Those figures actually sound quite impressive, that is until you dig a little deeper and compare that revenue to how much the iPhone generates for rival Apple Inc.
A new patent application shows what Apple may have in mind for the iPhone, with curved wraparound displays very much the order of the day. Apple is expected to dump LCD screens in favor of a flexible OLED solution by 2018, making this new patent particularly pertinent.
We may have only had the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus for a few months, but there's already plenty of speculation running rife about the future of Apple's wildly popular smartphone. We have already been told time and time again that Apple is planning on shipping the iPhone 7 without the inclusion of the standard 3.5mm headphone jack. Until now that has been based purely on speculation and analysis from industry insiders, but with a discovery in iOS 9.3 beta 1.1, those speculations have been given a solid foundation. The code suggests that the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack will in fact become a reality.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has used a recent rally at Liberty University in Virginia to bring Apple into his push to become the most powerful man in the world. Speaking at the rally, Trump managed to go through his usual repertoire designed to shock Americans into showing some kind of support in the hope of serious change occurring. However, this time the billionaire mentioned Apple into his speech by claiming that he would force the company to bring its hardware production to the United States should he become successful in his bid for the presidency.
Investigation into recent versions of iOS source code has revealed that Apple is looking to add Li-Fi tech to a future iPhone model. Here are the details.
A new report is suggesting that Apple has plans to put the Apple Watch 2 into production a lot sooner than initially expected. The information suggests that Apple will once again utilize the manufacturing services and expertise of China-based Quanta to produce the second-generation of its popular wearable. If true, it means that not only will Apple begin production of the device earlier than expected, but also introduces an interesting situation from a manufacturing perspective.
Apple is undeniably a premium brand, and as such, its retail revolution has always been about positioning itself in premium locations around the world. That strategy can be evidenced in locations such as the company's Fifth Avenue New York store, as well as the relatively new Dubai location situated in a prime spot within The Mall of Emirates. A new report is now suggesting that Apple is going for the same type of premium location in France by going for a twelve year lease on an entire building in Paris' prestigious Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
The Steve Jobs movie may well go down in history as being remembered for its lackluster box-office performance, but it didn't fair too badly at 73rd Golden Globe Awards. After being nominated for four awards in total, the movie managed to secure the vote for half of those nominations, picking up two gongs during the ceremony. Aaron Sorkin took home the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay and Kate Winslet managed to capture the attention of those casting their votes, winning the Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role award for her acting alongside Michael Fassbender.
