Towards the end of Apple's earnings call earlier today, Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer fielded a number of questions from analysts. And of course, many of them took the opportunity to question the two on the validity of recent rumors.
The Wall Street Journal's 'Apple cutting iPhone 5 part orders' story, the recent 4.8-inch iPhone meme, and the ongoing budget iPhone rumor were all brought up during the Q&A session. And Tim Cook (sort of) addressed each one...
Among some of the more interesting tidbits from Apple's earnings call today was Tim Cook's mention of Apple TV sales. The device has long been called a hobby by Cook and other Apple executives, but it doesn't act like one.
The Cupertino company sold over 2 million Apple TVs during last quarter, a record high for the company. That's a 60% growth over last year's first fiscal quarter, which is bigger than that of both the iPhone and the iPad...
Apple announced its highly anticipated earnings for the fourth quarter of 2012, the first fiscal quarter of 2013, this afternoon. And although they were record-breaking, they missed Wall Street projections. But we'll save the 'doomed' talk for another time.
Right now, we're just getting finished with Apple's earnings conference call. And as usual, Tim Cook and company made a few fascinating revelations and dropped a number of statistics. We have the 15 most interesting points for you after the break...
Users have been voicing their disdain for Apple's decision to stay the course with iOS for years. The operating system, albeit the addition of the App Store and a few new features, has remained largely unchanged since its introduction.
That disdain has sparked a number of iOS-related concepts, and we've just come across a new mockup. In an effort to change things up a bit, it adds widgets, toggles and a new unlocking mechanism to your iPhone's Lockscreen...
Here it is folks. After all of the rumors of slipping iPhone and iPad demand, which sent the company's stock tumbling, and the many 'doomed' headlines, Apple's Q1 2013 quarterly earnings report is finally here. So how'd they do?
Given the significance of these numbers, we'll just get right down to it. During the holiday quarter, Apple sold 47.8 million iPhones, 22.9 million iPads and produced 54.5 billion in revenue. We'll have more figures after the break...
This is kind of interesting. A new job posting has been spotted on Apple's website that calls for a Frameworks QA engineer that will help develop the "very first iPhone/iPad app that uses a new API/framework in the next version of iOS."
Now, Apple always adds new APIs/frameworks to new versions of iOS. But the interesting part here is that it directly refers to the development of a new iPhone/iPad app that directly depends on whatever this new API/framework is...
How many times have you misplaced your keys in the last few years? Ok, how about your iPhone? Children? Well the good news is that there are actually iOS accessories that can help you with your forgetfulness, like the hipKey.
The hipKey is a simple proximity sensor, powered by Bluetooth, built to help you keep track of your valuables. It has a key ring, allowing you to attach it to your keys, purse, etc., and a companion iPhone app for easy tracking...
Now that Christmas is just a tiny spec in our rear-view mirrors, it's time to start looking ahead to the next gift-giving holiday: Valentine's Day. And this morning, Apple started doing just that, highlighting the affair on its web store with a new "There's more than one way to say I love you" iPad advertisement...
By now, you've probably heard of the anti-poaching civil suit that's been brought against Apple, Google, Intel and others. Former employees are suing the companies for allegedly conspiring to keep each other from recruiting out of each other's firms, which is definitely illegal.
The evidence in the case before hand was already pretty damning. But looking at these court documents that were just made public yesterday, it might now be open-and-shut. The filing features emails, between executives, openly discussing an anti-poaching agreement...
Amidst growing speculation that Apple is working on a larger handset, a Russian site has created this mockup of what it believes a bigger iPhone could look like. Created from details in the recent 'iPhone Math' rumor, the device has a 4.8-inch display and 12MP camera.
Contrary to other iPhone concepts, which typically travel outside the realm of possibility, this one opts to stay within the lines of Apple's current design schemes. It looks like the iPhone 5, but its footprint has been both lengthened and widened to support the larger display...
After a bit of a delay, Microsoft today announced launch details for its new Surface Pro tablet. The device will become available for purchase on February 9, and will run $899 for the entry-level 64GB model.
The Pro's release comes more than three months after its less-capable sibling, the Surface RT. And with reports suggesting that it didn't do so well over the holidays, Microsoft is hoping the Pro will be a hit...
Last month, we told you about an exciting new iPhone email client called Mailbox. The app, which has been described as a cross between Clear and Sparrow thanks to its simple, swipe-based UI, is slated to hit the App Store in the next few weeks.
And in anticipation of high demand for the free email client, Mailbox-creator Orchestra opened up a reservation system this morning. It operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and will help the team manage server traffic when the app lands...
