Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - FCC Chairman Voices Concerns Over Verizon's Plan to Throttle Unlimited 4G LTE Customers
Last week Verizon Wireless announced that it would begin throttling 4G LTE unlimited data customers in October. Verizon said that the top 5% of data users (4.7GB+) would see speeds throttled when they were connected to a cell site that was experiencing a heavy load.
Verizon’s implementation of ‘network optimization’ does not sit well with FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler who has written a letter to the company on the matter. In his letter, Wheeler says he is ‘deeply troubled’ by Verizon plans to throttle customers.
“Reasonable network management” concerns the technical management of your network; it is not
a loophole designed to enhance your revenue streams. It is disturbing to me that Verizon Wireless would base its “network management” on distinctions among its customers’ data plans, rather than on network architecture or technology.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Next-Generation Apple TV Delayed Until 2015?
Those waiting for a revamped Apple TV this year might be disappointed to hear that the latest report from The Information claims Apple’s plans have hit a wall. According to sources close to the project, an overhauled Apple TV may not debut until 2015.
Engineers working on the project have been informed the product will not launch in 2014, primarily due to content negotiations going on between Apple and Cable companies. The Information cites cable companies are ‘dragging their heals’ on incorporating content into the next-generation Apple TV.
Apple engineers who are working on aspects of the device have been told by their bosses not to expect a launch this year and are working off timelines that assume a launch next year, according to a person familiar with the plans. Apple employees have cited cable companies “dragging their heels” and the pending Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger as reasons the device and accompanying TV service haven’t launched.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Crazy Cult to Picket Apple's Headquarters on August 12th
The Westboro Baptist Church, an insane cult that is widely described as a ‘hate group’, will picket Apple’s headquarters on August 12th from 1:15 – 1:45 PM. Westboro Baptist Church often protests military and celebrity funerals as well as public events because of people’s tolerance to homosexuality.
Here’s what they have to say about Apple and Steve Jobs:
Apple and many of its customers revere Steve Jobs as a creative genius and technology god. WRONG: he was a rich, proud fool who now inhabits hell. God sent Steve Jobs a warning in the form of cancer. It was discovered in time for him to repent and ask the Lord to heal him, but as an idolatrous buddhist, he sought out other inventions.Truly, Steve Jobs was formed in his mother’s womb to create these Apple products so that Westboro Baptist Church can use them today to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Russia is requesting that Apple hands over its source code used in its products to ensure iOS and Mac devices are not being used for government surveillance programs. The request was reportedly made last week when the Communications Minister Nikolai Nikiforov met with Apple’s general manager in Russia, Peter Engrob Nielsen.
“Edward Snowden’s revelations in 2013 and U.S. intelligence services’ public statements about the strengthening of surveillance of Russia in 2014 have raised a serious question of trust in foreign software and hardware,” Nikiforov said in the statement on Tuesday.
“Obviously, companies which disclose the source code of their programmes are not hiding anything, but those who do not intend to establish cooperation with Russia on this issue may have undeclared capabilities in their products,” Nikiforov said.

BetterWiFi7 is a tweak from Simon Selg that adds enhancements to the Wi-Fi functionality of iOS 7.
Here are are some of the added features:
? “Pull to Refresh”: Allows you to refresh the network list by pulling it down, like in the mail app.
? “Open networks only” switch: A new switch on top or on the bottom of the WiFi network list, which allows you to filter all encrypted networks. Useful when you are searching for an open WiFi network
? “Known Network List”: Gives you a list of all networks you’ve ever been connected too, including their passwords, which you can access from the WiFi Settings.
? “Remove RSSI Limit”: Removes the signal strength limit set by Apple. This allows you to see networks which farther away and connect to them if the signal is not too weak.
? “Show network encryption”: Shows the encryption (WPA2, WPA, WEP, None) of each network.
? “Show network MAC Address”: Shows the MAC Address of the network’s base station
? “Show exact signal strength”: Shows the exact signal strength in dBm for each networkIn addition, a “Smart Passcode Lock” feature allows the disabling of your passcode when connected to specified networks. BetterWiFi7 decides whether you are connected to a “trusted” network by comparing the networks MAC-Address (which is unique per Network) and not by checking its name/SSID, which is not unique (“dlink” for example).

Verizon has throttled unlimited 3G data plans for years now, but now the carrier has plans to do the same with 4G LTE. Beginning October 1st, Verizon will throttle unlimited 4G LTE data customers if they meet all of the following criteria:
? You have an unlimited data plan
? Your data usage falls within the top 5% of all Verizon customers. Currently that threshold is 4.7GB
? You have completed your contract term (you’re a month-to-month customer)
? You are in an area that is experiencing high demandVerizon is quick to note that it is not technically throttling customers. Instead it is ‘implementing network optimization practices.’ Verizon says that unlike throttling, you’re speeds under network optimization will only be reduced if you are connected to a cell site that is under a heavy load (and your usage is already in the top 5%).

The House on Friday unanimously passed legislation will make cell phone unlocking legal, just one week after the Senate approved the same measure. The bill now goes to the White House for signature.
The Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act, brought by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) reinstates the rule that would allow consumers to use their device on other networks by unlocking their device — whether on their own or by a third-party service. Unfortunately, similar to the House Bill that was passed a few months ago, it does not permanently legalize cell phone unlocking, however it does require the Library of Congress to put a temporary exemption back in place while it decides whether or not to extend it for renewal.
The legislation approved by the House Friday, which the Senate unanimously approved last week, reinstates a 2010 rulemaking by the Librarian of Congress so that consumers can transfer, or “unlock,” their cell phones without running afoul of copyright laws. It also directs the Librarian of Congress to consider whether other wireless devices, like tablets, should be eligible for unlocking.

- Square Announces Integration With IFTTT
Square has announced an integration with IFTTT (If This Then That) which lets sellers use their data with the service to trigger customized automated actions that streamline business operations.
The popular IFTTT service enables anyone to create powerful connections with one simple statement: if this then that. Sellers can link their Square account to IFTTT and create custom “recipes” that integrate their Square payment, refund, and settlement data with other products and services like SMS, Google Drive, Twitter, or email. For example, if a Square business makes a big sale then a congratulatory email could be sent to employees automatically via IFTTT. Likewise, if a large refund occurs at a store, the manager can use IFTTT to set up a text alert to follow up with the customer.
Earlier in the year, Square launched a software partner platform that lets partners develop tools that work with Square Register. Current partners include Intuit QuickBooks, Xero, and Stitch Labs. The addition of IFTTT gives sellers another option to customize their business operations.

Apple will release the 5.5-inch iPhone several months after the 4.7-inch model to avoid competition between models, not because of poor yields rates, says DigiTimes.
The different timetables have been set as Apple does not want to repeat the mistake it made in 2013 when it launched the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c simultaneously, said the sources. Yield rates have not been an issue for the large-size iPhone, as well as for the speculated iWatch, and therefore, member companies of the current iPhone supply chain will remain unaffected, the sources asserted.
Yesterday, it was reported that Apple is targeting a mid-September unveiling of the iPhone 6. It’s currently unclear when and if the company plans to unveil a 5.5-inch device.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple to Release Gold Master of OS X Yosemite on October 10th?
Apple is planning to release a gold master of OS X Yosemite around October 10th, reports 9to5Mac. The company will likely continuing releasing preview updates every couple weeks until a final Developer Preview is released on September 29th, say sources.
Apple plans to release Yosemite for free on the Mac App Store toward the end of October. Like last year, it is possible that Apple will talk final details about the new OS X release at a media event. Apple is planning to unveil its long-in-the-works fitness and health wearable wristband at a media event in October, so perhaps Apple will discuss the final logistics of OS X Yosemite’s launch during that same keynote.
The site has also heard from sources that Apple is finishing work on the much rumored 12-inch MacBook with Retina display and either an iMac or standalone monitor with a 4K resolution display. It’s currently unclear if the new notebook will be called a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air. Perhaps it could even be a new line. It’s also unclear if the desktop monitor or computer will be marketed as a Retina device. Currently the iMac and Thunderbolt display have a resolution of 2560×1440 and a new device with a 4K resolution of 3840×2160 would not be a pixel-doubling of the previous resolution.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Sony to Invest $345 Million to Increase Production of Image Sensors for Smartphones and Tablets
Sony says it will invest $345 million to increase the production of image sensors for smartphones and tablets, reports Reuters. The company is getting more orders from handset makers for its front-facing camera sensors as selfies and video chat become increasingly popular.
The Japanese firm said it will increase production of stacked CMOS sensors at two factories on the southern Japanese island of Kyushu, while completing work on a factory in northwestern Japan it bought from Renesas Electronics Corp for a total investment of 35 billion yen.
Sony supplies image sensors for the iPhone and will likely continue to do so for the iPhone 6. Its investment will allow it to raise production by 13% to 68,000 wafers a month by August 2015, moving closer to its mid-term goal of 75,000.

Apple is ‘tentatively’ planning to unveil the iPhone 6 and provide final iOS 8 details in mid-September, according to a new report from 9to5Mac.
Sources tell the site that the second or third week of September is the most likely timeframe for the event; however, manufacturing uncertainties could alter the schedule. A decision on the exact date has not been finalized.
The event will showcase the 4.7-inch iPhone 6; however, it has yet to be decided whether or not the 5.5-inch model will be debuted at the same time. The 4.7-inch version is further along in the testing and manufacturing process.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple's 36% Jump in R&D Spending Hints at New Products
Apple’s third quarter results revealed a 36% increase in research and development spending over the previous year, reports the Financial Times. The company spent $1.6 billion in the quarter, about 4% of sales, on R&D. That’s the highest ratio since 2006, says BTIG Research analyst Walt Piecyk, the year before Apple unveiled its first iPhone.
As people familiar with the situation have indicated to the Financial Times and others, this year’s hot new product will be a wearable device that tracks fitness and allows remote control of a tethered smartphone. Sources say the device is in fact unlikely to be called the iWatch, despite Apple having filed to trademark that term last year.
Interesting, the USPTO just granted Apple a patent for an electronic wristband which connects to another device such as an iPod nano to create a wristwatch. The device was dubbed ‘iTime’ in the patent diagrams.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - United States Senate Passes Bill that Will Make Unlocking iPhones Legal Again
The United States Senate has passed a bill that legalizes cell phone unlocking after a similar bill was passed in the House of Representatives back in February.
Back in October of 2013 the Library of Congress ruled that unlocking iPhones purchased after January 2013 would be illegal. Many petitioned this new rule and pressured lawmakers to do something about the ruling. Eventually President Obama and even the new FCC Chairman urgedCongress to pass laws that make cell phone unlocking (including the iPhone) legal.
The Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act, brought by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) reinstates the rule that would allow consumers to use their device on other networks by unlocking their device — whether on their own or by a third-party service. Unfortunately, similar to the House Bill that was passed a few months ago, it does not permanently legalize cell phone unlocking, however it does require the Library of Congress to put a temporary exemption back in place while it decides whether or not to extend it for renewal.

Morgan Stanley has issued a new investor note increasing Apple’s price target to $110. If Apple reaches $110 it would be an all-time high for shares of the company.
Analyst Katy Huberty also notes that Apple’s iWatch will perform very well due to the ‘halo effect’ which initially helped drive iPod customers to the Mac platform. She also says that current smart watch sales should not be used as a predictor for how a product from Apple might fare; rather, investors should look at how Apple successfully managed to sell new product categories to existing customers in the past.
She sees a range of 30 million to 60 million “iWatch” units being sold in the first 12 months of availability. Her models assume an average selling price of $300 and gross margins between 40 percent and 50 percent. She noted that historically, investors have underestimated sales of new Apple product categories based on the limited success of established products. For example, investors originally compared the iPod to the Sony Walkman, the iPhone to BlackBerry, and the iPad to netbooks, she said.

A woman was tragically killed by a subway train at Union Square on Saturday after fumbling to catch a dropped iPad and falling on the tracks, reports the New York Post.
Aracelis Ayuso, 21, was waiting for a Brooklyn-bound No. 4 train when she lost her grip on the tablet around 3:30 p.m., cops said. When the East Harlem resident tried to catch the device, she apparently lost her footing, causing her to tumble forward and land on the tracks just as the train was coming.
The conductor was able to spot Ayuso but was unable to stop the train in time. Police originally believed that Ayuso may have been intoxicated; however, on Sunday they said that there were no obvious signs she’d been drinking. A toxicology report is still pending.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Production Issues Could Delay 5.5-Inch iPhone 6 Until Late 2014 or Even 2015
Apple is facing production issues with the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 which could delay the device until late 2014 or even 2015, reports KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
We think the 5.5-inch model will also have issues with the yield rate of in-cell touch panel and color unevenness of metal casing. Indeed, these problems will likely be even more complicated with a larger size. In addition, from a technical perspective, we don’t expect sapphire cover, used for the first time on the 5.5-inch model, will easily pass the drop test near term.
We are conservative about 5.5-inch iPhone launching by end-2014. Even if the product is launched in 2014, it is likely to take place after mid-4Q14, which is later than the September-October of consensus, with shipments being lower than consensus of 15- 20mn units.

So, some people are going to hate me for this post, and I’ve said some of this before, but I really want to express it in more detail. I’ve been wanting to write something like this for a long time, and recently I think I’ve been in a mindset where I need to think through some of these thoughts anyway, so “here goes nothing”.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - New Apple iBeacon Device Hits the FCC
Apple has received a grant of equipment authorization from the FCC for a new Apple iBeacon device. The FCC application was dated July 2, 2014 and approved July 4,2014.
Introduced in iOS 7, iBeacon is a technology that enables new location awareness possibilities for apps. Using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), a device with iBeacon technology can be used to establish a region around an object. This allows an iOS device to determine when it has entered or left the region, along with an estimation of proximity to a beacon. Currently, even Apple is using third party Bluetooth beacons in its retail stores; however, it appears as though it has finally developed its own beacon.
The FCC filing reveals a circular device about 5.46″ in diameter. It features a USB port and an ON/OFF switch. The official product number of the iBeacon is A1573.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - E-LABEL Act Aims to Remove Unsightly FCC Labels From Phones, Other Electronics
U.S. Senators Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.) have introduced bipartisan legislation to modernize federal regulations for electronic devices. The E-LABEL Act would ease certain regulatory requirements on manufacturers of products such as phones, computers, and other electronics, by giving them the option to meet the physical label requirement digitally.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) currently requires most device manufacturers to etch or otherwise permanently place regulatory information and symbols on the exterior of approved products. As electronic devices in the marketplace become smaller, physical label requirements may become increasingly difficult to meet and more costly for manufacturers. The e-label option promises to lower costs for both producers and consumers.
“As manufacturers continue to produce groundbreaking technologies, it only makes sense that federal labeling requirements for these products are updated to further promote innovation and create new opportunities in the digital age,” said Fischer. “I’m pleased to work with Chairman Rockefeller to introduce the E-LABEL Act, which increases options and lowers costs for manufacturers while also making regulatory information more easily accessible to consumers. This bipartisan measure will provide relief for job creators, benefit consumers, and promote modern regulations that better suit a 21st century marketplace.”

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Colorful iWatch Concept With Wireless Charging Base [Video]
Check out this new iWatch concept from SET Solution that features interchangeable bands in a variety of colors and a box that is also a wireless charging base.
We’ve thought that everyone should customize the iWatch: color is the keyword! Our iWatch has the possibility to change the wristlet, so you can choose the one with your favorite color! And obviously, there are tons of cool and stylish colors!
We also designed a box for our iWatch concept: the particularity of it is that it is also a wireless charging base! How does it work? Inductive charging (also known as “wireless charging”) uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. When the iWatch is placed on his PowerCase, a “handshake” happens between the charging surface and the device, and the energy is transferred wirelessly to the iWatch.

Adoption of the OS X Yosemite Developer Preview is four times higher than the adoption of the OS X Mavericks Developer Preview was, reports Chitika.
To determine adoption levels, Chitika Insights sampled hundreds of millions of North American OS X online ad impressions. They looked at data from June 2 and July 2, 2014 for Yosemite and June 10 and Jul 10, 2013 for Mavericks. The data points were plotted on a three-day rolling average.
In the three days following the release of the first OS X Yosemite Developer Preview, adoption jumped significantly – hitting 0.15% of total U.S. and Canadian Mac OS X Web traffic. That figure is particularly impressive considering that adoption of the OS X Mavericks Developer Preview achieved only a 0.05% share after 30 days. The increased level of aggregate activity for Yosemite is likely partially driven by the prominent changes present in this OS version fueling a higher degree of developer curiosity and experimentation. The changes to Safari in particular may be prompting a greater amount of Web usage from current users in terms of testing and customization.

A new report from Parks Associates reveals that Roku is the most used media streaming device in the United States. It accounts for 46% of media player purchases compared to 26% for the Apple TV.
Roku is also the most-used streaming media player in the U.S. Among U.S. broadband households with a streaming media player, 44% use a Roku player the most versus 26% that use Apple TV the most. The gap has widened since 2013, when 37% of streaming media player owners used Roku most and 24% used Apple TV most.
“Multiple factors have allowed Roku to outpace Apple in U.S. sales and usage,” said Barbara Kraus, director, research, Parks Associates. “Roku has always had a close association with Netflix, the largest source of video downloads, and currently offers more than 1,700 channel apps as well as a choice of models with different features and price points, all of which appeal to consumers’ purchasing instincts. With Amazon entering this CE category, there will be renewed pressure on all players to develop the best combination of ‘can’t miss’ content with a simple and intuitive interface. “

Apple in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 sold about 43.7 million units iPhone, Foxconn, which makes Apple became the biggest customer. If this project is completed, then you do not need to use Foxconn workers to assemble the device, each robot can be responsible for an average of 30,000 devices. Gou said the robot named “Foxbots”, and said they would not sell these robots, because they themselves had not enough.
Foxconn will apparently deploy at least 10,000 Foxbots per Foxconn factory, and each robot will cost 20,000 to 25,000 U.S. dollars.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple to Announce iPhone 6 on September 15th, Release on September 25th?
A new report from China.com citing ‘inside sources’ claims that Apple will announce the iPhone 6 on September 15th and it will go on sale September 25th. GforGames notes that the source suggests China will be among the first countries to the device, leaving some possibility for a U.S. launch on September 19th as previously rumored.
This new report indicates that the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 will go on sale in China for 5,288 yuan, which roughly translates into $850. This comes in line with an earlier report which stated that the 32GB model will sell for the exact same price. Currently, the 16GB iPhone 5S is priced the same, in China. Moving on to the 5.5 inch model, which will allegedly be called the “iPhone Air”, the report says that the smartphone will hit the shelves alongside a price tag of 5,998 yuan, or $965.
China Mobile and China Unicom are allegedly testing their 4G network on an iPhone 6 prototype. In May, China Mobile CEO Li Yue revealed that about half of their 2.8 million 4G LTE subscribers are iPhone users.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Microsoft Reportedly Working on iOS Compatible Fitness Band
Earlier last year we reported that Microsoft was working on a smart watch. Today, Windows blogger Paul Thurrott claims that Microsoft’s wearable is actually a fitness band that will work with multiple platforms.
My sources tell me instead that Microsoft will this fall release a Samsung Gear Fit-like fitness band that will display smart phone-based notifications, just like the current and rumored watches and other wearables. So that’s the first bit of rumor busting: It’s a wristband, not a watch. (Yes, I’m sure you’ll be able to see the time on its screen. But the form factor is a wristband.
Microsoft’s fitness band will reportedly have the ability to sync with multiple platforms including Windows Phone, Android and iOS. Samsung wearables only work with Samsung devices and Android wearables only work with Android devices — but it seems Microsoft is taking an alternative route and having its wearable work with all platforms.

May was the first full month of Galaxy S5 sales since its European release. Despite its blockbuster launch, the Galaxy S5 was only the third highest selling smartphone in Britain behind the iPhone 5s and 5c. However, among those who did buy the Galaxy S5 across the five largest European markets, 17% switched from Apple. Over half, 58%, of European Galaxy S5 buyers were existing Samsung owners.
Across Europe, Android is the number one operating system with 73.3% of the market. Apple comes in second with 16.6% and Windows is third with 8.1%.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Analysts Boost Apple Price Targets Ahead of iPhone 6 [Chart]
A majority of analysts have a now set a price target above $100 ($700 pre-split) for Apple’s stock. The new higher targets have followed the company’s aggressive stock repurchase plan and its 7-for-1 stock split.
Analysts are also predicting a hugely profitable iPhone 6 launch. In an investor note posted yesterday, Walter Piecyk notes that Verizon’s new smartphone leasing plans will allow many iPhone owners to upgrade for 0% upfront:
“Historically we estimate that ~20% of AT&T’s subscriber base was eligible for an upgrade during an iPhone launch quarter. That eligibility dropped to a low of the mid-teens in the second half of 2013 due to the stricter upgrade policies. We expect AT&T’s new Mobile Share Value plan to increase the percentage of AT&T post-paid subscriber base eligible to upgrade to over 65% by the time the next iPhone launches. In absolute terms that is the difference between 10 or 11 million eligible for upgrades and 45-50 million.”

—
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.

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.

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.
