Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple is Still Struggling to Keep Up With iPhone 6 Demand [Chart]
Apple is still struggling to keep up with iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus demand months after launching the new smartphones, reports Piper Jaffray.
Surveys conducted by analyst Gene Munster found that only 56% of core configuration were in stock as of last Friday, December 12th. He believes that availability will improve to 80% by the end of the quarter; however, expectations were that Apple would reach 100% in-stock before the end of December.
Notably, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus availability is actually slightly down from last month when Munster’s survey of 80 Apple Stores found that 58% of models were in-stock on November 14th. In October, only 6% of models were in stock.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple Airs New Holiday Ad: 'The Song' [Video]
Apple has aired a new holiday ad entitled, ‘The Song’.
With a Mac, iPhone or iPad you have the power to create thoughtful, emotional gifts and memories that transcend time. It could be a movie, a homemade card or a song that brings two generations closer together.
The ad features a girl who comes across a record apparently recorded by her grandmother for her husband when they couldn’t be together for the holidays. She then learns to sing and play the song on her guitar and keyboard. One morning when grandmother comes down to the table, she finds an iPad with headphones and the message, “A Duet. Press Play”. The young girl has re-recorded the song singing and playing alongside the original, bringing her grandmother to tears.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Former iTunes Engineer Tells Court Apple Worked to Block Competitors
During an ongoing federal antitrust case Apple is currently facing, a former iTunes engineer testified that he worked on a project that was “intended to block 100% of non-iTunes clients” and “keep out third-party players” that competed with the iPod.
The plaintiffs subpoenaed Rod Schultz, the former engineer, to show that Apple had worked to block any iTunes or iPod competitors. The plaintiffs argue that Apple’s action to hurt competition ultimately rose iPod prices from 2006 to 2009.
Schultz testified in an untucked dress shirt and leather jacket, saying he was an unwilling witness. “I did not want to be talking about” his work on iTunes from 2006-2007, part of which was code-named “Candy,” he said.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - In-Depth Design Comparison of Apple Maps vs. Google Maps
UX Launchpad has posted an in-depth design comparison of Apple Maps vs. Google Maps on Medium. The post is very extensive and goes through every aspect of the mapping applications to compare and contrast the approaches of two highly skilled teams working on a pretty unique design challenge.
Design is simply “deciding how a thing should be,” as William says in his book. But every decision has a tradeoff. Every thing you make easier can make another thing harder. There is no such thing as “the right design”. But we can learn a lot from seeing how experts in their field weighed the pros and cons of different approaches.
UX Launchpad is a one day, hands-on, fun design course in Seattle. It’s run by Jon Bell, a designer at Twitter, and William Van Hecke, the design lead of the multiple-award-winning Omni Group and author of Learning iOS Design.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple's Glass Lantern Store Wins Supreme Award for Structural Engineering Excellence
The Institution of Structural Engineers has awarded the Apple’s ‘Glass Lantern’ Zorlu Store with its Supreme Award for Structural Engineering Excellence. The award is granted at the Judges’ discretion to recognize the finest example of structural engineering in a given year.
This latest iteration of structural glass design provides the purest form possible within the limits of current material fabrication. Clear glazed single panel walls with no connections to distract the eye, 10m long by 3m high on four sides, provide an efficient structural form capable of resisting seismic loads, while providing total transparency and architectural purity. The lightweight ultra-thin roof made of CFRP panels (carbon fibre reinforced plastic) seamlessly joined on site, provides a completely smooth uniform soffit while also improving the seismic performance of the whole structure. In such a minimalist project the detailing required particular attention, the result being a total absence of fixings, with the five panels being held together by structural silicone.
“The judges found this to be a supreme example of collaboration between engineer and fabricator to achieve an outstanding, architecturally minimalist structure. The use of single panes of toughened laminated glass to support a lightweight ultra-thin CFRP roof without connections other than structural silicone, takes structural glass technology into a new dimension. A project where only engineering excellence and attention to detail can produce a result of such simplicity and purity of expression.”
