  • Apple Announces Record First Weekend iPhone 6 Sales of Over 10 Million

    Apple today announced it has sold over 10 million new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models, a new record, just three days after the launch on September 19th.

    The new smartphones were launched in the US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore and the UK and will be available in more than 20 additional countries on September 26. The iPhone 6 will be available in 115 countries by the end of the year.

While our team managed the manufacturing ramp better than ever before, we could have sold many more iPhones with greater supply and we are working hard to fill orders as quickly as possible.”

  • Black Market Takes Over the iPhone 6 Lines [Video]

    Filmmaker Casey Neistat has posted a new video entitled ‘Black Market Takes Over the iPhone 6 Lines’ which offers a closer look at the lineup for the iPhone 6 in NYC.

    It appears that many in line paid to be there by a middle man who takes the iPhones from users after they leave the store and likely sends them to China or other countries for sale on the black market.

    It’s thought that the situation this year is worsened by the delay in the approval of Apple’s new smartphones for China.

  • Chipworks Takes a Look Inside the iPhone 6's A8 Processor, NFC Chip, iSight Camera, More

    Chipworks has posted a look inside the iPhone 6’s chips and components, revealing that the A8 processor is likely fabbed by TSMC.

    The die size is 8.5 mm x 10.5 mm = 89.25 mm2, as stated by Apple. Indications are that it is fabbed by TSMC, but we don’t have enough images yet to be 100% sure. The first cross section of the structure shows that there are ten metals in the stack (see the third thumbnail image above). We can tell you that the contacted gate pitch is ~90 nm, which agrees with our report on the Qualcomm MDM9235, also fabbed by TSMC in their 20 nm process.

  • Apple Used Its Own CDN to Help Deliver iOS 8

    Apple used its own content-delivery network (CDN) to help deliver the iOS 8 update to its users on Wednesday, reports Deepfield.

    Aside from all the new features that may be in iOS 8 for the users, there was one other big change that happened this time: Apple chose to deliver a significant portion of the traffic themselves. Most users do not care who or what delivers their updates or data, they just care that the system works. However for large ISP networks that have to process this increase in traffic, they do care. They need to be able to plan for significant changes in traffic volumes and a jump of 10x for anything is a lot to handle.

    Previously, Apple relied on Akamai and other CDNs to deliver most of their network traffic. However, this time they handled much of the load themselves marking a new era for the company.
