Marketing research firm NPD DisplaySearch has added to recent reports this weekend that Apple is telling its suppliers to cut iPhone 5c production and increase 5s output.
Citing 'channel checks,' the firm sent out a research note yesterday claiming that the Cupertino company is cutting 5c orders by 35%, and increasing 5s orders by 75%...

A California man is taking Apple to court over the recent iOS 7 update, which he says automatically downloaded to each of his family's devices without his consent. Actually, the small claims court suit is titled "Mark David Menacher vs. Tim Cook."
Apple's over-the-air update mechanism for iOS is designed to make it easier for users to keep their devices up-to-date. But the problem outlined in Menacher's complaint is that it automatically downloads a 1GB+ file, with no way to remove it...
When T-Mobile became an official Apple partner earlier this year, US Cellular became the largest carrier in the United States to not offer the iPhone. But it looks like that's all going to change next month.
After turning down the popular handset in 2011, the company confirmed in May of this year that the iPhone was coming. And today, it announced that it will get the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c on November 8th...
Remote access from mobile to desktop and laptop computers has become significantly better thanks to advancements in technology. It wasn’t that long ago that logging into your desktop from your iPad was slower than dialup.
Actions for iPad is a remote app that gives you control over actions you use on your desktop or laptop. Now, you can quickly open applications, access files, and create shortcuts to practically everything on your computer…
Responding to a Quarkslab white paper made public at the Hack the Box conference yesterday - which claims that researchers have successfully intercepted iMessage exchanges - Apple felt compelled to issue a written statement reiterating the company's stance that it can't read any one's iMessage even if it wanted to because it doesn't have access to the public keys used to encrypt communication (AES, RSA, and ECDSA algorithms).
The assumed message interception reportedly allows attackers to seamlessly change the sent message before it arrives and thereby impersonate the sender. Apple's claim that "iMessage is not architected to allow Apple to read messages" is now brought into question as the researchers released video evidence of the vulnerability...
Next to developer allegiance, where advertisers are spending their mobile ad dollars could be the most significant sign of whether Apple or Android is winning. New numbers out today show Apple's iOS is trouncing Google and it is the iPad that's leading the way. Indeed, the Apple tablet was the target of more than 91 percent of mobile ad impressions.
What's more, despite a near neck-and-neck race in terms of ad impressions on smartphones, the iPhone outperforms Android handsets for hauling in ad revenue. For example, while Android smartphones deliver 30.5 percent of mobile ad impressions, the platform receives just 27.7 percent of the revenue.
By comparison, although the iPhone receives 30.8 percent of impressions, it gets 36.44 percent of revenue, according to a mobile ad analytic firm Opera Mediaworks...
After an appeals court last month lifted the injunction which has prevented Apple from offering push notifications for iCloud email in Germany, the handset maker Motorola (now owned by Google) wasted no time and was quick to post an interesting iCloud migration tool in the hope of appeasing to iPhone owners who may be switching to a Moto X flagship.
The handy web-based application is part of the Moto X customization tool called Moto Maker.
It's designed to allow for easy migration of your iCloud contacts and calendars to a Google account. As Android is deeply integrated with Google's services, authorizing an Android device to use a Google account automatically makes underlying calendars, contacts and other data readily available...
Yesterday's report by Quarkslab, a penetration testing company, has caused quite a stir among privacy watchers as iOS hacker Pod2g and Quarkslab's team of researchers claimed at the Hack the Box conference in Kuala Lumpur they had successfully intercepted iMessage exchanges, indicating Apple has access to the public keys used to encrypt communication.
Given the ongoing NSA scare, Apple was quick to go on the record to dispute the claim, arguing end-to-end encryption employed to protect eavesdropping on iMessages communication is so secure that even the company itself cannot decrypt it...
Tweetbot users who have been waiting for an updated version of the app for iOS 7 can rejoice, as it has been submitted to Apple for approval.
In a blog post published yesterday on the company's website, Tapbots explain they were taken by surprise by iOS 7, and that the app required more than a fresh coat of paint. The upcoming version of Tweetbot for iPhone will be a brand new app that has been reworked from the ground up.
Although the developers don't mention anything about pricing in their blog post, it's safe to assume the new version of Tweetbot for iPhone will be a new app, which means you'll have to pay full price for it...
The Apple blogosphere is rampant with news that the online retail giant Amazon somehow "confirmed" a new Apple TV hardware in a listing on its German website. Cooler heads caution northing could be further from the truth. What Amazon did is it changed availability date for the $99 Apple set-top box on Amazon.de to October 23. While this does not "confirm" or "prove" anything, the date is nonetheless interesting given Apple is set to reveal its next-generation iPad lineup next Tuesday, October 22.
Let the speculation begin...
