- Foxconn in Talks to Build Display Factory, Hopes to Supply Apple With iPhone Displays
Foxconn is in talks to build a display factory in northern China that would make high-end screens for phones, reports the WSJ.
Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. , is discussing a possible investment with the government of Zhengzhou, about 750 kilometers south of Beijing, according to people familiar with the talks. The two sides are discussing terms such as how to divide the investment, which could reach as much as 35 billion yuan ($5.7 billion), the people said.
The two sides have yet to formulate a concrete investment proposal but if an agreement is reached, it might be Foxconn’s largest direct investment to date in the manufacturing of high-end parts.

iFixit has posted a teardown of the new iPad Air 2.
What’s lighter than Air? An Air 2. Join us live as we disassemble the new, shaved-down iPad Air 2, and see whether Apple’s thinnest device is still its least-repairable.
Highlights:
? Fully laminated, 9.7″ IPS Multi-Touch LCD with a 2,048 x 1,536 resolution at 264 ppi and antireflective coating
? A8X 64-bit CPU (rumored to be a triple-core, 1.5 GHz SoC) paired with 2 GB RAM and M8 motion coprocessor
? iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi is model number A1566.
? The iPad Air 2 is thinner than the original iPad Air and the iPhone 6, and it doesn’t have a camera bump.
? Dual mic moves closer to iSight camera, mute switch is gone.
? The glued-down display remains the iPad’s only access point, so there’s still a risk of damaging it even when performing ordinary repairs.
? Wi-Fi model’s antennas are now at the top of the iPad
? Replacing Lightning connect requires replacing the entire logic board.
? 27.62 Wh battery down from the previous Air’s 32.9 Wh capacity.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Saurik Releases iOS 8 Version of Cydia for Manual Download
Saurik has released an iOS 8 compatible version of Cydia for manual download following the release of an untethered Pangu jailbreak for iOS 8 – iOS 8.1.
I’ve given a new version of Cydia Installer in the form of a standard jailbreak bootstrap for inclusion in a new version of their jailbreak. I’ve also pushed the .deb of the iOS 8 version of Cydia to apt.saurik.com for manual download, but not yet to my repository. A lot of thanks goes out to limneos, who tested the new build for me, as I was at an airport (and now am frantically typing this message while they figure out how to retract the jetbridge from the plane I’m on that is about to take off).
The Pangu8 jailbreak was released for Windows only, without a compatible version of Cydia. You can download the jailbreak from here.

CNN Money is reporting that some Bank of America customers are getting double charged when using Apple Pay.
I was among the first people to try out Apple Pay the moment it came available on Monday. It was convenient, fast, and it seemingly worked without incident … until I logged in and checked my debit card bill. As it turns out, I’ve been charged twice for every single purchase I’ve made with Apple Pay at various stores.
A search on Twitter reveals that other Bank of America customers are suffering the same problem. “Problems with #ApplePay – it looks like my @bankofamerica account was double charged by @Walgreens”, said Ray Thompson. Other user SBUX75DEVILDOG exclaims, “i got charged twice when I used #ApplePay @WholeFoods @BofA_Help #applepaygate”
