| Apple adds ‘App Store Notes’ to Featured App descriptions Posted: 25 Jan 2013 04:27 PM PST
It’s been discovered this afternoon that Apple has quietly added a new section to the descriptions of its featured App Store apps. It’s called ’App Store Notes,’ and the area is used to provide a brief summary of each application. Apple’s done something similar in the past, but it appears it’s now rolling out the feature on a broader scale… (...)

| iPad mini shipping times improve to 3-5 days Posted: 25 Jan 2013 02:49 PM PST
During Apple’s earnings call earlier this week, Tim Cook noted that the iPad mini was constrained for most of the holiday quarter. And he was right, estimated shipping times were as high as a month in November, and still a week out in December. But it looks like Apple’s supply is catching up with demand. Today, for the first time, those estimates have dropped below a week. In the United States, in Canada, and several other countries, Apple’s web store is showing ship times of just 3-5 days…(...)

| iPhone 5S said to feature upgraded camera, new iPad Mini coming in October Posted: 25 Jan 2013 01:30 PM PST
Following up on this morning’s report of Apple’s plans for this year’s iPhone and iPad updates, iLounge has posted a new article with additional information. The intel comes from a ‘trusted source,’ and offers product code names and other specifics. The previous scoop claimed that the iPad 5 has been redesigned, with iPad mini-like bezels and size, and has a target date of October. Details of the iPhone 5S were less bountiful, but the site has now elaborated on it and added remarks on the new mini…(...)

| Rumor: iPad 5 to feature mini-like design, iPhone 5S to look similar to current model Posted: 25 Jan 2013 01:00 PM PST
The often accurate Jeremy Horwitz of iLounge just published a monster report with details regarding the new iPad, and Apple’s two new iPhones coming later this year. Horwitz nailed the iPhone 5 last May, and has a fairly good track record, so people tend to listen when he talks. For starters he dishes about the iPad 5, saying the tablet has been completely redesigned with virtually no left or right bezels, and less space above and below the screen. It’s described as a “stretched iPad mini,” with chamfered edges, and is smaller than you’d imagine possible…(...)

| The iPhone is now one-fourth of the world’s smartphone market Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:51 PM PST
Lost in all of the talk of Apple’s declining profits was that the iPhone now accounts for a quarter of all smartphones shipped globally in 2012. Although Samsung’s triple-digit yearly growth-rate blinded many observers, Apple last year did eek out 47 percent growth. It was enough to make Apple the only smartphone maker beside the South Korean firm to show any growth at all in 2012. Apple shipped 136.8 million iPhones in 2012, up from 93.1 million units in 2011, according to technology researcher IDC. Wednesday, Apple announced it shipped 47.8 million iPhones during the fourth quarter of last year… (...)

| Pressure mounts on Apple to reveal iOS source code Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:50 PM PST
Samsung’s first crack at cornering Apple into providing the iOS source code came in November 2011, when it argued at an Australian court it needed to take a look into the iPhone 4S firmware in order to determine the extent of an alleged patent infringement. And on its own turf in South Korea, the Galaxy maker is putting pressure on the Cupertino, California firm to reveal the iOS 6 source code to judge whether Apple’s mobile operating system – specifically, the Notification Center feature – infringes its technology patents. To say that Apple wasn’t impressed would be an understatement: lawyers for the iPhone maker called Samsung’s request "insane" and argued its rival is trying to force it into revealing its "most important data"…(...)

| Are analysts responsible for AAPL decline? Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:49 PM PST
So… Exxon passed Apple to reclaim the title of the World’s Most Valuable Corporation. But how much did Wall Street’s prognosticators have to do with Apple’s drop in value following its earnings report earlier this week? While investors realize the company is facing stiff competition and potentially lower profits, a number of financial observers were way off in the predictions ahead of Wednesday results. Indeed, while Apple reported $54 billion in fourth-quarter revenue, analysts had forecast between $51.7 billion and $65.69 billion. According to Fortune, some analysts were up to 17 percent wrong, while some well-known Wall Street Apple watchers came within 3 percent of the iPhone maker’s final numbers. Partially as a result of such wildly-varying forecasts, Apple is changing the way to releases its revenue guidance…(...)

| Apple lists California-based Quanta Computer plant as Mac assembler Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:48 PM PST
Back in November, some folks started seeing “Assembled in the USA” etched into the backs of their iMacs. This obviously led to the conclusion that Apple has been quietly moving some of its assembly operations from China to the United States. Today we learn where, at least some of, those Macs are being put together. In a recent update to its Supplier Responsibility page, Apple has named Quanta Computer Inc., in its Fremont, California plant, as a final assembler for its Mac computers…(...)

| Quipio adds artistic quotes to iPhone photos in under 60 seconds Posted: 25 Jan 2013 10:29 AM PST
You’ve probably seen beautifully captioned photos floating around Facebook and Tumblr, and thought you’d try your hand at making some of your own. The problem with making typography look good over a photo is it takes a bit of effort and design sense, so it’s not for everybody. Or so we thought. Quipio is a recently released app that allows users to make their own captions for their photos. If you just have some idea you’d like to share, Quipio can also take up to 400 characters of text and turn it into a simple piece of word art in less than a minute…(...)
