Why haven’t we seen many leaked iPad mini parts?

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 04:35 PM PDT

If we were doing a scavenger hunt for iPhone 5 parts, we’d be nearly done by now. We’d have the back cover, front panel, motherboard, and a slew of other components for the handset.

But the recent ramp up in iPhone 5 leaks has some folks wondering, why are there so few iPad mini parts floating around? Apple is still expected to unveil both products next month, right?(...)

Apple survey says folks predominantly go Android to stay with current carrier

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 03:09 PM PDT

Like Henry Ford did, Apple tends to never ask consumers what they want. But contrary to popular belief, the Cupertino firm does believe in market research and regularly polls people in respect to competition and its position in the marketplace. One of such research notes has surfaced today in court documents as we enter the third week of the Apple v. Samsung monster lawsuit.

In it, Apple asks consumers why they chose Android over the iPhone. Turns out regular consumers’ choices have little to do with their love (or hatred) for Apple or Google, with more than four out of ten responding they had gone Android just to stay with their current wireless operator…(...)

Play more than 100 old school Nintendo games in your iPhone’s browser

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 01:56 PM PDT

Nintendo hasn’t released games for its NES or Game Boy systems in more than 20 years, but that doesn’t mean people have forgotten about them. Emulators for old Nintendo games exist on nearly every platform imaginable — even iOS.

Until now, however, your iOS device had to be jailbroken to play these older games. That, or you had to snatch up one of the handful of emulator apps that popped in the App Store before Apple pulled them. But we’ve found another way…(...)

Verizon and AT&T join Sprint in iPhone discounting

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 11:59 AM PDT

Earlier this month, we reported that Sprint was starting to knock $50 off of its iPhone 4 and 4S models. Then a week later, Apple started matching the discounted prices at its retail stores.

Apple licensed its prized design patents to Microsoft with an “anti-cloning” agreement

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 11:21 AM PDT

A surprising revelation from the Apple v. Samsung litigation as Apple patent licensing director Boris Teksler took the stand today to testify before a San Jose court, revealing that Apple licensed its design patents to Microsoft, but with an “anti-cloning agreement” to prevent copying of the iPhone and iPad.

To make this matter more interesting, we’re talking about essentially the same design patents that Apple is asserting against Samsung in the high-stake trial…(...)

MIT says iPhone has crossed a significant threshold in security

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 10:53 AM PDT

The iPhone hasn’t always been known for its security. In fact, when the handset first launched back in 2007, hackers could gain root access to the device through simple application exploits.

But it fixed that particular bug in early 2008, and has since then spent a lot of time and resources on beefing up its iOS security. And MIT says that the extra effort is paying off…(...)
