  • 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.

    “Sales for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus exceeded our expectations for the launch weekend, and we couldn’t be happier,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We would like to thank all of our customers for making this our best launch ever, shattering all previous sell-through records by a large margin. 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.

  • iPhone 6 Predicted to Get 128GB of Storage, Programmable Power Button, No Sapphire Cover Lens

    A new report from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo offers some details on the iPhone 6 that Apple is expected to unveil next week. Kuo says Apple is planning to unveil both a 4.7-inch model and a 5.5-inch model and both will have a 128GB storage option. This corroborates a recently leaked document which listed storage sizes of 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB.

    A new power button on the side of the device will reportedly be programmable, perhaps allowing users to launch a specific app in response to a preassigned action. The smartphone is also expected to have a barometer to measure altitude or forecast weather. The protruding camera will allegedly lose its sapphire coating to make it more resistant to drops.


    Key spec forecasts – No sapphire cover lens, 128GB, built-in barometer pressure sensor & programmable power key

  • Analyst: iWatch to Come in Two Different Screen Sizes, Offer 8GB of Storage and 512 MB RAM

    KGI’s Ming-Chi Kuo released a report today with his updated expectations on Apple’s rumored wearable product. Kuo see’s Apple releasing an iWatch with two different screen sizes — 1.3-inches and 1.5-inches. Kuo also believes the iWatch will pack 8GB of internal storage with 512 MB of RAM.

    While 8GB of internal storage and 512 MB of RAM seem low compared to iOS devices (which have 1GB of ram and 16GB storage), the specs are on the high-end for a smart watch. Some believe the iWatch could act independently from an iOS device, and Kuo’s analysis falls in-line with that speculation.

    Kuo is somewhat unsure about the casing for the device, but believes we will see 2-4 different types, with aluminum being the primary element used. He also sees the device will be rectangular in shape and feature ‘holes’ to measure vital signs such as heart rate.

  • Jonathan Ive on Apple's Upcoming iWatch: 'Switzerland is in Trouble'

    Jonathan Ive has reportedly been heard saying that Switzerland is in trouble when excitedly talking about the iWatch. The tidbit was relayed by Nick Bilton for the New York Times.

    According to a designer who works at Apple, Jonathan Ive, Apple’s design chief, in bragging about how cool he thought the iWatch was shaping up to be, gleefully said Switzerland is in trouble — though he chose a much bolder term for “trouble” to express how he thought the watchmaking nation might be in a tough predicament when Apple’s watch comes out.

    Apple is expected to unveil the wearable device on September 9th; however, analysts are predicting that it won’t ship until 2015.

    Samsung’s relentless pursuit of the best in innovation through the optimization of mobile technology and the user experience has led to the debut of the innovative and unique Galaxy Note Edge. Taking the Galaxy Note experience to the next level, the Note Edge provides users with a new way to access information, engage with their mobile device, and express their personality and tastes. The Galaxy Note Edge’s unique curved Edge screen provides quick access to frequently used apps, alerts and device functionality – even when the cover is closed – all with the swipe of a thumb.

    Apple has reached an agreement with American Express for its iPhone payments system, according to Re/code.

    Apple has reached an agreement with American Express to work together on its new iPhone payments system, according to sources familiar with the talks. American Express is one of several partners Apple will need to sign up before it can launch its new payments plan, which sources say it plans to announce at its September 9 product event.

    The payment system will reportedly allow iPhone 6 owners to present their phone instead of a credit card or cash to pay for goods. Numerous reports have indicated that the iPhone 6 will finally support NFC and have a secure enclave for storing credit card information, making the payment system possible.

  • Video Shows How Easy it is to Steal ATM Pin Codes with an iPhone [Watch]

    Stealing ATM Pins and passcode could get easier for thieves, thanks to infrared technology. As Mark Rober points out in his video below, thieves can simply purchase a thermal imaging (infrared) attachment and with their iPhone, steal any code input from a keypad which was previously used for entry.

    The infrared camera shows a thermal signature left by your fingers when you type codes at ATM keypads, door entries and more. All a thief has to do is scan their camera right after you enter the code to see which keys have recently been used. Since the heat signature fades with time, you can even see the order which the keys were pressed. The ‘hotter’ keys were likely pressed last while the ‘dimmer’ keys were likely pressed first.

    A study at UC San Diego shows that it is possible to guess the correct code 80% of the time if the image was taken immediately after. If the image was taken 1 minute later, there still was a 50/50 change of guessing the correct code.

  • Apple is Reportedly Considering a Price of $400 for the iWatch

    According to a new report form Recode, Apple has considered pricing the iWatch at $400, with cheaper models planned.

    Apple executives have discussed charging around $400 for the company’s new wearable device. Pricing has yet to be finalized for the forthcoming product, which is expected to begin shipping next year. Sources say consumers should expect a range of prices for different models including lower priced versions.

    The report does note that it is still unclear whether or not Apple will announce a price for the product on September 9. Recent reports indicated that the watch would not ship until 2015. Just like the original iPhone, the product may not ship until months later in an effort to keep the device a secret before its reveal.

  • More Evidence Points Towards 4.7-inch iPhone 6 with 1334 x 750 Resolution Display

    Yesterday, a video of an alleged 4.7-inch iPhone 6 that booted up and was assembled from leaked parts surfaced. The video showed the alleged iPhone 6 booting up to the Connect to iTunes recovery display screen as well as iTunes recognizing the device. After further examination of the display, developer Steven Troughton-Smith notes that 4.7-inch iPhone 6 shown in the video is most likely equipped with a 1334 x 750 display.

    A 1334 x 750 display on the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 would results in 326 PPI (pixels per inch) — the same amount as current iPhones with retina displays. This finding corroborates Daring Fireball’s John Gruber assessment that the 4.7-inch model would pack a 1334?×?750 display while the 5.5-inch model would feature a 2208?×?1242 resolution display with 461 PPI.

    MacRumors did an analysis of the the Connect to iTunes screen and found that a 1334 x 750 resolution display was likely.

  • Alleged iPhone 6 Logic Board Reveals New Category 4 LTE Modem [Photo]

    An iPhone 6 logic board complete with chips was leaked today and one by one the components are being identified. Despite some of the text being blurred, MacRumors has identified the modem which will likely be used for the 4.7-inch iPhone 6.

    While photos posted to reveal the existence of an NFC chip from NXP has seen identifying marks on many of the other components blurred, a portion of the text printed on the LTE modem is visible, confirming the board does indeed contain Qualcomm’s MDM9625M as had been previously rumored.

    The Qualcomm MDM9625M modem is a Category 4 LTE modem which means that it will support speeds of up to 150 Mbps. The modem in the iPhone 5s is a Category 3 modem which only supports speeds of up to 100 Mbps.

  • 16GB of Flash Storage Spotted on Alleged iPhone 6 Logic Board

    A 16GB flash storage module has been spotted on the recently leaked logic board for the iPhone 6, reports MacRumors.

    A new set of photos from Feld & Volk and Sonny Dickson today that revealed the NFC chip present on the logic board of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 also offers a good look at the flash storage module on this board. Based on the Toshiba part number, as seen on similar modules, the “7” indicates that this is a 16 GB module, suggesting the low-end iPhone 6 will continue to offer that amount of storage.

    The discovery is in line with a previously leaked schematic and table that showed part numbers for the phone’s various memory options. Notably, only 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB sizes are were the list, the 32GB variant is strangely is missing.

  • Purported A8 Chip Reveals iPhone 6 Will Have 1GB of RAM

    Today photos of the iPhone 6 logic board featuring an A8 processor surfaced online. Looking closer at the chip it can be determined that Apple’s next generation smartphone will likely have 1GB of RAM.

    MacRumors forum member commander.data spotted a part number on the A8 revealsing that the package-on-package contains Hynix RAM.

    Based on Hynix’s part number format, the character in the eighth position reveals the amount of RAM in the package, with an “8” denoting 8 Gb (1 GB) and a “B” denoting 16 Gb (2 GB). While it is a bit difficult to read the part number clearly given the distance and angle in the photo, our staff and several posters in our forum agree that the character very much appears to be an “8”, indicating 1 GB of RAM.

  • Analyst: All 5.5-Inch iPhones 6s and Some 4.7-Inch iPhone 6s Will Get Sapphire Cover Screens

    Analyst Matt Margolis has learned that all 5.5-inch iPhone 6 models will get sapphire cover screens but only some 4.7-inch iPhone 6 models will come with sapphire. Margolis made the claims in an investor note seen by 9to5Mac.

    According to sources close to Foxconn’s manufacturing operations the iPhone 6 will come built with sapphire cover screens in both sizes. These sources have also indicated that the 4.7” Phone 6 is being assembled in two varieties, a sapphire cover screen version and a version featuring Gorilla Glass. At this point I do not know the approximate mix between the two cover screen options on the 4.7” iPhone 6. My latest check on the 5.5” iPhone 6 indicates that all units of the device are expected to come protected by a sapphire cover screen at this point …

    Margolis expects both the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 to be unveiled in September; however, the larger model is said to launch in October. A new report claims that Apple will also unveil the iWatch at its September 9th event.

  • Apple iPhone 6 to Feature Its Own Payment Platform, Utilize NFC?

    A new report from Wired says that Apple will finally take action on the mobile payments front with its next generation iPhone featuring its own payment platform. The solution will apparently utilize NFC as previous rumors have suggested.

    While Apple’s exact implementation is still unclear at this point, we can still make some general idea of what it will look like. The company has made a huge push to get its Bluetooth LE-transmitting iBeacons into retailers across the country. And because Apple did not spend a great deal of time expounding on iBeacons at WWDC this year, it’s possible they could be a greater focus at Apple’s September media event—as a part of its mobile payment solution. Touch ID will also likely play a role in securing the platform, and it could make sense for Passbook, Apple’s hub for tickets and coupons, to get some level of integration with the service too.

    Apple has over 800 million credit cards on file already putting it in a perfect position to launch a payments platform. The Information says that conversations between Apple and payment companies have heated up recently and that Apple’s solution will have a “so-called secure element” to store user’s confidential financial information.

  • Purported iPhone 6 Parts Show Improved Speaker and New Vibrator Motor Design

    More purported iPhone 6 parts have surfaced today, showing off sim card trays, touch ID home buttons, a rear embedded Apple Logo, an improved speaker and a new vibrator motor design.

    The sim card trays and touch ID home buttons hint that Apple will be using the same colors as the iPhone 5s for the iPhone 6, including space gray, white/silver and white/gold. The images show a slightly curved sim card try, indicating that it was designed for the iPhone 6’s new curved design. You can also see the Touch ID home button ring colors, which match the sim card trays.

    In addition, we see the embedded Apple logo, which has previously surfaced. Apple has not used an embedded Apple logo on the iPhone since the original launch in 2007. However it has used embedded Apple logo’s on certain iPad devices.

  • Location for NFC Chip Spotted on Leaked iPhone 6 Logic Boards?

    Following a leaked schematic allegedly for a NFC chip that will be used by the iPhone 6, it appears a location for the chip has been spotted on purported logic boards for both the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models.

    MacRumors forum member chrmjenkins notes that the alleged NFP chip (PN65) measures 5mmx5mm with 32 terminals. After examining leaked photos of the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 logic boards, he believes he’s determined a location for the chip.

    The location on the board is a square patch that does not correspond to any component from the iPhone 5s logic board, indicating that it may indeed be for a new component such as an NFC chip. Existing components may of course see changes in shape between generations, but many of the current major components can be mapped reasonably well to locations on the iPhone 6 logic boards, leaving relatively few candidates for this new square patch.

  • Apple Will Reportedly Announce a Wearable Device and Two Next Generation iPhones in September!

    Earlier reports said that Apple would be announcing its iWatch, or wearable product, sometime in October. Despite many analyst reports predicting that the product has been delayed, John Paczkowski of Re/code is now saying that Apple will announce a new wearable device alongside two next generation iPhones on September 9th.

    Remember back in June when I said Apple hoped to schedule a special event in October to show off a new wearable device? Remember how I also said this: “Could things change between now and fall? That’s certainly possible.” Turns out that was a prescient hedge, because things have changed. Apple now plans to unveil a new wearable alongside the two next-generation iPhones we told you the company will debut on September 9th

    Paczkowski has a great track record when it comes to Apple events. He was the one who also reported September 9th as the date for Apple’s big event.

    Notably, this claim corroborates a previous one from Tencent Digital News which also said that Apple will launch the iPhone 6 on Friday, September 19th.

    These dates are for China so it’s possible that Apple could release the device earlier in the United States. The company is expected to unveil the iPhone 6 on September 9th which might make Friday, September 12th a viable release date in America.

  • T-Mobile Quadruples Simple Starter LTE Data for Extra $5/Month

    T-Mobile has announced a new option for its Simple Starter customers that quadruples their data to 2GB for an $5/month.

    Back in May, the Un-carrier made waves with the Simple Starter plan, an entry-level solution with unlimited talk and text, and 500 MB of LTE data for just $40. Starting September 3, these customers can get a whopping 2 GB of LTE data for only $5 extra per month – and still no annual service contract and no domestic overages.

    “People who use loads of data use T-Mobile,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. “And it’s no wonder. The old guard telecoms punish people for using more data on their networks with crazy overage charges and fees. Get Verizon’s $50 plan and use just one gig more data, and the price jumps to $65. It’s crazy. At T-Mobile, we designed our network data-strong so our customers could use the hell out of it. And that’s just what they’re doing.”

    T-Mobile also recently announced that its offering a free year of unlimited LTE data to customers who switch from Sprint, AT&T, or Verizon and to the person that referred them.

  • Schematics Reveal New iPhone M7 Coprocessor Codenamed 'Phosphorus'?

    The iPhone 6 will come with a new coprocessor codenamed ‘Phosphorus’, according to schematics leaked by GeekBar via GforGames.

    Allegedly, the chip will have the same responsibilities as the M7 CPU, but given the wider functionality of the new HealthKit, it will also be responsible for collecting and processing new types of health-related data, including the heart rate, the amount of calories burned, cholesterol levels, blood sugar and more. In the Health app, the aforementioned data can be added either manually, or can be automatically collected from various accessories and wearables (and this is were this new coprocessor will probably come into play).

    In collecting health data, Apple may face privacy and regulatory challenges.Reportedly, Apple wants to ensure that providers, not itself, are responsible for adhering to privacy requirements. More details on that here.

  • BlackBerry Touts BBM Over iMessage Following Spam Report

    Following reports that iMessage accounts for over 30% of all mobile spam, BlackBerry has posted an article entitled, ‘Why BBM Isn’t Vulnerable to iMessage’s Reported Spam Problem’.

    Here’s the company’s five reasons why BBM is better than iMessage for preventing spam:

    —–
    1) BBM is architected in a way that protects our 85 million users against spammers. iMessage works off of phone number or Apple ID. Anyone who has your number or Apple ID can send you messages whether you want them to or not. With BBM, users have a lot more control due to our “invite and accept” paradigm. In other words, both parties need to be mutually committed to being contacts in order to send and receive messages.

  • China Telecom Advertises Plans to Sell Unlocked iPhone 6

    China Telecom briefly posted an ad showing a rendering of an iPhone 6, with plans to sell an unlocked version of the device that will work with all carriers in the country. China Telecom said it would unlock the unreleased iPhone 6, meaning the device would support 4G LTE (both TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE) and other networks including WCDMA, CDMA2000, GSM, and CDMA1X.

    Current iPhones sold by China Telecom only accept SIM cards issued by the carrier because the devices only support the carrier’s CDMA2000 and 2G CDMA network. With China Telecom unlocking the device, subscribers can use LTE and put China Telecom in a position to compete with other carriers in the region. This news also indicates that Apple could be making a single version of each iPhone model for the Chinese market.

    China Telecom has since deleted the post from their Weibo account.

  • iWatch to Begin Production in September, May Not Hit Shelves Until 2015

    Apple has notified component suppliers that they will need to begin delivering hardware to assembly locations as early as next month, according to China’s United Daily News via GforGames. The assembly process is reportedly set to commence in September and will only yield a million iWatches a month.

    In addition, once the components will hit the conveyor belts, it’s estimated that it will take between 1 and 2 months before the final product will be ready. That being said, Apple’s supply chain sources add that the iWatch might arrive a bit too late for a 2014 release date. Either that, or we might see a limited launch that could take place in December.

    Notably, a recent report from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo corroborates the possibility of a launch delay. Kuo said that difficulty manufacturing the iWatch would likely delay its release until 2015.

    A newly leaked schematic reveals that Apple may release a 128GB iPhone 6. Also, it appears that the 32GB model may get dropped.

    According to the chart, the 16GB memory will be supplied by Toshiba and Hynix, the 64GB memory will be supplied by Hynix, Toshiba, and SanDisk, while the larger 128 GB units will come from Toshiba alone.

  • Walmart Discounts iPhone 5c to $0.97, iPhone 5s to $79

    Walmart is discounting the iPhone 5c to $0.97 and the iPhone 5s to $79 for the next three months, reports Engadget. The promotion comes ahead of Apple’s expected iPhone 6 announcement on September 9th.

    While Apple hasn’t formally announced the iPhone 6 yet, there’s few surer signs of an impending new model than a fire-sale to clear out existing stock. How’s $0.97 sound for an iPhone 5c in that case? For the next 90 days then, Walmart has your ticket and is discounting the colorful 16GB handset by just over $28.

    Of course, these prices require a two year contract through AT&T, Sprint, US Cellular and Verizon.

  • Leaked Photos Reveal Purported Rear Shell for the Larger 5.5-Inch iPhone 6

    Newly leaked photos posted by evasi0njailbreak purportedly reveal the rear shell of the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6. The shell is pictured next to the smaller shell of the 4.7-inch model.

    As stated by the original source who provided these images from “deep within Apple’s supply chain in China,” the component is very limited and could simply be intended for testing purposes.

    While we can’t confirm the validity of the source, the rear shell’s screw holes do line up with a previous logic board leak.
