The Reason We Still Don’t Have a Facebook iPad App

Cody Lee ∙ October 1, 2011

Mashable posted an article yesterday that tells an interesting story about the relationship between Apple and Facebook. Although the two companies are expected to make a joint announcement next Tuesday, things haven't always been peachy.

This is perhaps most obvious in the noticeable absence of a native Facebook app for Apple's tablet. Facebook's iPad app has reportedly been ready for several months, but we've yet to see an official release. Before his retirement, Steve Jobs was personally involved in negotiations with Facebook...

Adobe to Hold Special Event During Apple’s iPhone Keynote on Tuesday

Sébastien Page ∙ October 1, 2011

Are you going to be following Tuesday's special event? I'm not talking about the upcoming iPhone announcement – who cares about that? I'm talking about the other special event. The one held by Adobe at 10am, where the company is supposed to announce new user experiences both in the browser and in apps.

It is unclear who chose the date and time first, but one thing is sure: I doubt many people will be following Adobe's announcement while Apple is unveiling its next iPhone...

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

Asymco has released a report that compares Apple's and Microsoft's financial earnings. Asymco's Horace Dediu compares product revenue from both companies to determine who has better financial performance.

Microsoft has its mind-boggling array of Windows products, along with multiple enterprise solutions. And there's of course Windows Phone 7. Apple has all of its 'i' hardware, software, percentage cuts from the iTunes store, Mac sales, and peripherals.

So, who is the victor in the battle for revenue? You guessed it...

If Only the iPhone 4S is Expected Next Week, What’s With All of These Cases?

Cody Lee ∙ October 1, 2011

Apple's iPhone event is just a few days away, and after months of rumors, we're still unsure of what to expect. Since March, there has been speculation that the Cupertino company would be unveiling multiple handsets this year.

Over the last few weeks, the two-phone theory has largely dropped out of the conversation. A majority of the tech world now seems to think that we'll only see one iPhone model next week: the 4S. But what about all of these iPhone 5 cases still floating around?

Apple Puts Another Nail in the iPod Classic’s Coffin

Alex Heath ∙ Updated October 16, 2017

Apple quietly removed its click wheel games category from the iTunes App Store this morning. Multiple sources have already said that Apple is getting ready to kill the iPod Classic and the iPod Shuffle, so this move doesn't come as a surprise.

With the Classic on its deathbed, it's obvious that the age of the click wheel is nearing an end. We'll miss you, little click wheel.

Sébastien Page ∙ September 30, 2011

The ongoing legal battle between Apple and Samsung just took another turn this morning, with The Wall Street Journal reporting that Samsung offered a secret deal to put off Apple disputes over the sale of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia.

China Unicom Suggests Next iPhone Will Support HDSPA+ “4G” Technology

Cody Lee ∙ September 29, 2011

With Apple's iPhone event just 5 days away, everyone is trying to get in their last minute predictions. While it seems like pundits agree on most of the device's features, there is one detail that still remains a mystery — data connectivity.

Even though evidence surfaced last month that Apple was testing LTE-capable devices, it doesn't seem likely that the upcoming smartphone will house the technology. But that doesn't mean that the next iPhone won't be "4G..."
