| Apple reportedly looking to expand iPhone production to Foxconn subsidiary Posted: 12 Oct 2012 04:07 PM PDT
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been hearing about problems within Foxconn’s production lines regarding the iPhone 5. Workers are unhappy with the complicated manufacturing procedures, and higher quality standards, and thousands have even gone on strike. These problems are said to be one of the main factors in the iPhone 5 supply constraint Apple is seeing worldwide. It’s three weeks after launch, and the handset is still seeing shipping times of 3-4 weeks. But rumor has it that Apple is working on a solution…(...)

| Amazon CEO admits Kindles are sold at cost Posted: 12 Oct 2012 01:15 PM PDT
For some time, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has been cagey when it comes to discussing hard numbers surrounding the Internet retailer’s Kindle. But apparently, Bezos is a bit more open when not talking to U.S. reporters. Speaking to the BBC Thursday, Bezos said his company sell’s “the hardware at cost, so it is break-even on the hardware.” The answer shouldn’t be too much a of a surprise. As All Things Digital notes, selling items cheaply in hopes of consumers snapping up humungous numbers of your widgets is a rather common retail practice. Apple has successfully bucked this trend, hauling in huge profit margins for its devices…(...) "Amazon CEO admits Kindles are sold at cost" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| ChangeWave: Mapgate and Lightning woes did not affect massive iPhone 5 buying Posted: 12 Oct 2012 09:20 AM PDT
According to a new study by ChangeWave Research, a 451 Research company, “massive iPhone 5 buying” continues despite a string of at times sensationalist reporting of various teething problems with the handset, ranging from the unwarranted cellular data usage and light leakage issues to the purple haze and virtual keyboard flickering woes. More interesting than that, the study found that so-called Mapgate and incompatibilities with 30-pin accessories brought upon users by Apple’s new miniature Lightning connector literally had zero effect on iPhone 5 sales…(...)

| Report: iPad mini accessories waiting for Apple announcement to start shipping Posted: 12 Oct 2012 09:00 AM PDT
Third-party accessory makers in Asia appear well-prepared for Apple’s expected Oct. 23 launch of a smaller iPad. Nearly two dozen Asian add-on manufacturers have gadgets all set to sell when the reported 7.85-inch ‘iPad mini’ is finally unveiled, according to a Wall Street analyst. Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White said he met accessory makers during a tour of Asia and found some add-on products already boxed-up and ready for shipping. At one point, White even handled a “pilot” version of the smaller iPad, which “he was easily able to keep in his coat pocket,” according to AppleInsider…(...)

Apple’s iPhone 5 in under three weeks has managed to overtake Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S III smartphone in web traffic volume, a new survey by research and analytics firm Chitika has found.

| iPad mini announcement confirmed for October 23 Posted: 12 Oct 2012 06:23 AM PDT
October 10 came and went without an Apple media event (here’s why), but that doesn’t mean the rumor-mill is standing still. According to a new report by a Wall Street Journal-owned blog, Apple will hold an iPad mini event on October 23 (that’s a Tuesday). And instead of holding a presser at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, where the iPhone 5, iPads and other products were introduced in the past, Apple has reportedly opted for a more intimate setting at Town Hall Auditorium on its Cupertino, California headquarters. UPDATE: Jim Dalrymple of The Loop has weighed in on the rumor with his trademark “yep”.(...) "iPad mini announcement confirmed for October 23" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.
