Apple in court documents wrote that the government’s complaint over an alleged price fixing related to digital books is "fundamentally flawed". Moreover, the company argued that competition had been non-existent prior to its entrance into the market because Amazon was imposing its wholesale model upon the industry and no party was willing to challenge it...
Looks like Steve Jobs wasn't kidding when he proclaimed Apple a mobile devices company at the original iPad unveiling in January 2010. Fast-forward to today and the tablet market is still by and large dominated by the iPad.
According to latest research data by NPD, Apple shipped 17.2 million tablets and notebooks - collectively referred to as 'mobile PCs' - for a cool 22.5 percent share of the entire market. For comparison, second-ranked Hewlett-Packard managed to move just 8.9 million mobile PC units, capturing a 11.6 percent market share.
Just two years ago, it would have been unheard-of for Apple to beat first-tier PC vendors at their own game. But this is 2012 and Apple is riding high on strong momentum that its tablet continues to enjoy in markets the world over...
There's been no shortage of iPhone mockups this year. Graphic designers are constantly releasing renderings of what they think Apple's next smartphone should look like. Heck, we've even seen a fair amount of video concepts.
But while a number of these mockups tend to border on fantasy, this new design focuses on realism. iTopnews.de's creative director Toby Kick brings his vision for the new iPhone to life using only the most feasible of features...
Google just pushed out a major update to its iPhone search app, bringing out a completely reworked interface and several new features, including beautiful full-screen image search, faster autocompletion and searching, the new in-line search option (finally!), the redesigned home screen with services shortcuts, handy tabs to filter down your search results and what not...

We've been hearing whispers about Office landing on the iPad since the dawn of time. The latest rumor pinpoints release date for November of this year. Interesting enough, Redmond is apparently gearing up to launch Office not only for the iPad, but for the iPhone/iPod touch as well as Android tablets...
Soft-spoken and shy, design guru Jonathan Ive, one of the key figures at Apple of California responsible for the striking design of iPhones, iPods, iPads, Macs and many other Apple products, flew to his native homeland of Britain to officially receive a knighthood in honor of his contributions to industrial design.
As Cody told you, he sat down for a rare one-on-one interview with The Daily Telegraph's Shane Richmond, hinting that best work is underway now.
As for the knighthood ceremony, we have a video for your viewing pleasure...
OmniVision Technologies yesterday announced two new camera sensors for smartphones and tablets and guess what? Both could be a perfect fit for a 2013 iPhone, if not for the next one.
We're talking about 16-megapixel sensors that shoot 4K video at a remarkable 60 frames per second.
Per Chipworks' teardown analysis, Apple is using OmniVision's OV5642 camera module inside the iPhone 4. Another teardown, also by Chipworks, shows OmniVision's second-generation OV5650 back illumination and OV297AA modules being used on the iPad 2, the new iPad and the iPod Nano music player.
If Apple were to adopt these new OmniVision 16-megapixel camera modules, you could be capturing video either in 4K2K or Quad Full High Definition (QFHD) resolution with an iPhone in your pocket.
Now, if only you had a 4K display to watch these clips in their full ultra high-resolution glory...
We've said it before, but it's worth repeating. With over a billion cell phone users, and millions more in the wing, China is a crucial market for Apple in its quest to sell more smartphones — a market it's only been in for a few months.
But it appears to be on the right track. According to a new report from Woori Investment and Securities, Apple sold over 6 million handsets in China between January and March of this year, pushing its smartphone market share in the country up to 19%...
Jeff told you about this awesome lock screen tweak on Sunday and I'm happy to report that the Unfold jailbreak tweak is now available for download. It was born out of Anton Kudin's “fold to unlock” concept for the iPhone which immediately captured attention of the jailbreak community.
Three days later, that concept has been brought to reality thanks to German jailbreak developer Jonas Gessner. What this tweak does is pretty simple yet very effective...
TheNextWeb points to a new piece in The Telegraph this morning, which features a lengthy interview with Jony Ive. The publication caught up with Apple's design guru during his recent trip to the UK to receive an honorary knighthood.
The Cupertino company's Senior Vice President of Industrial Design discussed a number of topics with the paper throughout the course of the interview, but a couple of his comments really stood out...
Have you ever wondered what happens to your conversations with Siri? Obviously your queries are sent over the internet to Apple's servers for processing, but what then? Does Apple store these conversations? Does anyone have access to them?
These questions seem to be heavy on the mind of IBM's Jeanette Horan, as the CIO recently told MIT's Technology Review that her company has banned Siri from their network over fears that the assistant could be logging sensitive information...
