- Sharp Dedicates Entire Plant to Production of LCDs for Apple
Sharp has revealed that the entire production of its Kameyama No. 1 plant is dedicated to Apple in an interview with Nikkei.
—
Q: Sharp manufactures small and midsize LCD panels at the Kameyama No. 1 plant. But this operation is not that profitable.A: The No. 1 plant’s output goes to just one company (Apple). If you look at just this plant, it certainly presents a high level of volatility risk. But if we make LCD panels for smartphones in large quantities at the No. 2 plant, we can absorb the impact even when the No. 1 plant is not doing so well.

Apple has been offering its iPhone trade-in program almost a year now and it has slowly expanded it to other countries since then. Customers in Italy can now trade their iPhone in at Apple stores for credit towards the purchase of an iPhone 5s, iPhone 5 or iPhone 4s.
The news comes from Apple’s own Apple Store App, which indicates Apple is offering up to €220 for older iPhones (approximately $300). The program allows you to trade in an iPhone 3G and get credit towards any current iPhone model. Apple says it will also recycle the older iPhones instead of having customers throw them away.
The program is set to expand to Australia as well, according to sources. Apple has reportedly been training several employees in the area on the program. Apple also offers an iPad trade-in program but that is not offered in Italy just yet.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple's Quest for a Thinner iPhone 6 May Result in Yield Issues
Apple’s quest to produce a thinner iPhone 6 may result in yield issues, according to a new report from the China Times via GforGames.
Apple has apparently decided to use just one brightness enhancement film (BEC) in its backlit LCD display in order to save up space. Previously, iPhone models have used two BEFs.
The reason why a single BEF could cause yield issues is because the remaining layer needs to be better enough to get the job done by itself. As for the alleged yield problems, these reports suggest that some of Minebea’s backlight orders will be taken over by OMRON and Radiant.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - iPhone 6 Mockups Offer 'Rough Idea' of Final Design, Antenna Breaks Not Accurate
A new report reveals that the iPhone 6 mockups that have been circulating only offer a ‘rough idea’ of what the final iPhone 6 will look like.
Nikkei says the mockups have a low building quality. The home button doesn’t fit properly leaving a gap and the display isn’t transitioning seamlessly into the aluminum shell. The site says that the iPhone 6 may have a curved display that fits perfectly creating a seamless transition from the aluminum to the display.
Most notably, Nikkei (via GforGames) says that the antenna breaks found in all the mockups are not part of the final design.

The team behind the Pangu jailbreak stopped using a bug discovered by i0n1c in the latest version of their utility, apparently burning another exploit in the process.
Many were already upset that the team released a jailbreak for iOS 7.1.1; rather than saving the exploits used for a potential iOS 8 jailbreak.
At the time of initial release I0n1c declared, “if pangu team releases a public jailbreak with vulnerabilities disclosed to them during my training I consider this in no way okay.” It turns out the team was using his vulnerability.
