| Sprint’s CEO reaffirms plans to keep unlimited data, for now Posted: 26 Jul 2012 05:20 PM PDT
With recent moves by both AT&T and Verizon to nudge their remaining customers off of unlimited data and onto their new share plans, the spotlight has turned to Sprint. Sprint is the last remaining major carrier in the US to still offer an unlimited data plan for smartphone subscribers, and everyone wants to know how long that’s going to last…(...)

| More early iPhone and iPad prototypes surface Posted: 26 Jul 2012 04:00 PM PDT
Earlier in the month, we showed you one of the earliest known iPad prototypes dating back to 2000, looking particularly bulky when compared side-by-side to today’s iPad. Today, we also caught a glimpse of an early mockup envisioning a Sony-inspired iPhone that Samsung is now using to establish prior art in the courtroom. Court documents related to the upcoming July 30 trial contain a bunch of other mockups of several iPhone and iPad prototypes, including an iPad with a kickstand. Bear in mind that Jony Ive and his team iterate hundreds and hundreds of prototypes in their secretive design bunker so these renderings depict just one of the many design considerations that were evaluated (and dropped) at some point… (...)

| Mark Zuckerberg squashes Facebook phone rumors Posted: 26 Jul 2012 03:55 PM PDT
Rumors that Facebook has been working on its own smartphone have been around for more than a year now. Last fall, a report came out that the social network had tapped HTC to help it build the handset. Since then, the speculation has only gotten louder. Yesterday, Bloomberg even threw its hat into the ring. But this afternoon, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg decided to squash the chatter…(...)

| The iPhone is much more profitable for Apple than the iPad Posted: 26 Jul 2012 03:15 PM PDT
Apple’s profit margins on its products are something of legend. Thanks to its massive supply chain influence and crack operations team, the company enjoys some of the best margins in the business. This afternoon, some court documents surfaced from the ongoing Samsung-Apple trial showing that those margins are much better on the iPhone than they are on the iPad. In fact, they’re almost double…(...) "The iPhone is much more profitable for Apple than the iPad" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Poll: did you buy Mountain Lion? Posted: 26 Jul 2012 02:58 PM PDT
Apple released OS X Mountain Lion some 36 hours ago exclusively via the Mac App Store at a breakthrough price of just $19.99 a copy, with rights to install the operating system on up to five different Macs authorized with the same Apple ID account. If yesterday’s poll is anything to go by, you seem to be appreciating the bang Mountain Lion is offering for your buck, with nearly 80 percent of respondents saying that the software is worth its asking price. But assessing the perceived value of a piece of software is one thing and actually taking the plunge is an entirely different matter. Today’s poll, yet another YES/NO survey per popular demand, asks a simple question, whether or not you’ve bought Mountain Lion yet…(...)

| Verizon tops J.D. Power customer service report Posted: 26 Jul 2012 02:35 PM PDT
If you’re looking to start up new cell phone service in the US, there are dozens of choices. If you want a big-named, nationwide carrier though, that cuts the field down to four options: Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. You can narrow it down even further if you want an iPhone. Currently, only the top three carriers properly support Apple’s handset. And if you’re looking for the company with the best customer service, there’s only one…(...) "Verizon tops J.D.

| Apple renews efforts to protect the App Store moniker Posted: 26 Jul 2012 02:18 PM PDT
Apple first took Amazon to court over the App Store moniker in March of last year, just as the online retailer began using the ‘app store’ term in their developer portal. Last November, Apple stepped up its fight as it saw Amazon promoting the Amazon Appstore for Android apps. Today, we learn that Apple wants to summon an Amazon executive for court testimony over the decision to drop the words "for Android" from some of Amazon's app store branding…(...)

| Samsung shows Sony-inspired iPhone mockup Posted: 26 Jul 2012 01:00 PM PDT
The latest in the Apple-Samsung legal drama: according to court documents filed by Samsung, Cupertino has indirectly ripped off Sony for its handset’s aesthetics by adopting the Japanese giant’s design language. The Galaxy maker points to a 2006 Businessweek interview with Sony’s product designers Takashi Ashida and Yujin Morisawa in order to establish prior art and prove that Sony’s design philosophy influenced the iPhone's original design direction. The iPod Godfather Tony Fadell apparently showed the Businessweek article to Apple’s late CEO Steve Jobs and design chief Jony Ive who then allegedly approved use of some of the ideas outlined in the interview for early iPhone mockups…(...)

| Apple not required to publicize apology to Samsung before October Posted: 26 Jul 2012 11:24 AM PDT
As we told you earlier in the month, a Judge in the United Kingdom ruled that Samsung’s Galaxy Tab tablets don’t infringe upon the iPad’s design because they’re “not as cool”. This was followed shortly by another ruling requiring Apple to publicize the ruling on its website and in Britain’s high-profile newspapers. Today, a London court ordered a stay until Apple’s appeal against the ruling is heard in October. As you know, Apple is thought to be unleashing the next iPhone and possibly mini iPads upon the world around September or October…(...)
