Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple's Share of Smartphone Sales in Asian Markets Has Soared Since Releasing the iPhone 6
Apple share of smartphone sales in Asian markets has soared since the company released the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, according to a new report from Counterpoint Research, relayed by the WSJ. Much of the company’s gains come at Samsung’s expense.
Apple showed big gains in Japan, China and South Korea, with the most striking increase coming in Samsung’s domestic market, where that company used to have an unassailable position. In November, Apple’s market share in that country soared to 33% from less than 15% before the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were introduced, Counterpoint said. Apple passed another South Korean brand, LG Electronics, with a 14% share, to move into the No. 2 position behind Samsung, whose share fell to 46%. Until November, Samsung’s share was hovering at around 60%.
“No foreign brand has gone beyond the 20% market share mark in the history of Korea’s smartphone industry,” said Tom Kang, research director for mobile devices at Counterpoint. “It has always been dominated by the global smartphone leader, Samsung. But iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have made a difference here, denting the competition’s phablet sales.”

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple to Release Optional Stylus for Larger iPad Pro?
A new report from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, relayed by MacRumors, predicts that Apple will release an optional stylus to accompany its rumored 122.2 – 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The stylus would likely be targeted at enterprise and creative users.
Given that it’s more precise than a person’s fingers, a stylus can be more convenient to use than the combination of keyboard and mouse in some cases. Therefore, we believe Apple’s stylus will improve the user experience of 12.9-inch iPad.
Kuo doesn’t think that Apple will include the stylus with the iPad as it will drive its price too high.

A3 tweaks has released Auxo 3 version 1.1, bringing several new features and improvements to the popular jailbreak tweak.
At its core, Auxo 3 is comprised of three powerful features: Multi-Center, Quick Switcher, and Hot Corners. By intuitively utilizing the bottom edge of the screen, all three functions perform synergistically with one another as well as completely stand-alone, depending on your configuration.
? Multi-Center gives you the ability to slide up from the bottom middle edge of the screen to access your Multitasking display, without losing the vital functionality traditionally found only in Control Center. Here you have access to the app switcher, brightness and volume sliders, playback controls and info, toggles, AirDrop and AirPlay, as well as the quick launcher (via a swipe up from the bottom, if hidden). Multi-Center also lets you expand app previews by pulling them downward, view full-screen album art by tapping the track title (hold to open app), and even beautifully close all apps by swiping the home screen preview up! Use Minimal Display mode for a cleaner look by hiding AirDrop/AirPlay and track seeker sections (still accessible via a swipe near the top or bottom).

Camera crews have arrived at Steve Jobs’ childhood home in Los Altos to begin shooting the new movie based on Walter Isaacson’s biography. The movie is written by Aaron Sorkin, directed by Danny Boyle, and stars Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs and Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak.
CNET was onsite to describe the scene as crews prepared to film in the garage where Jobs and Wozniak got started.
Cinderblock and wood shelves are pieced together along the walls. Roller skates, a Thermos, an old vacuum cleaner and 8-track player and stereo lay haphazardly about. An advertisement for a Braun electric coffee maker hangs on the wall, as does a poster featuring Bob Dylan holding a “Get Born” sign from a film clip featuring the song “Subterranean Homesick Blues.” And the house itself has been painted a beige color with darker tan trim, contrasting with the formerly lighter exterior.

Apple has reportedly seeded a second beta of iOS 8.1.3 to retail employees. The build is numbered 12B466 and is six builds newer than the last beta seeded last Wednesday, reports MacRumors.
Last week, we speculated that the iOS 8.1.3 beta was close to release due to the fact that it was shared with quite a few retail employees, but it appears there are still bugs that Apple is working on fixing before it provides the 8.1.3 update to the public. MacRumors continues to see an uptick in the number of visits received from devices running iOS 8.1.3, and while we expect the update will be released to the public in the next week or two, it is not clear exactly when a launch could come.
iOS 8.1.3 apparently contains only bug fixes. At this point it’s unclear whether the firmware blocks the ability to jailbreak. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or RSS for updates.

On November 28th, 2014 we sent a brand new iPhone 6 on the ultimate adventure to the stratosphere. On its journey, the iPhone reached a height of over 101,000 feet and encountered temperatures as cold as -79 degrees F and winds as strong as 70 MPH. During the descent the iPhone 6 and flight rig withstood a 150 PRM rotation as the parachute deployed and the rig fought to stabilize. Upon landing the flight rig broke apart, however the iPhone remained unscathed and in perfect working order.
The flight rig contained two GoPro cameras, 1 GPS locator and a backup phone with GPS and active tracking installed. The flight lasted over 3 hours and covered 12 miles across the ground. The iPhone 6 was wrapped in our composite iPhone 6 case with no screen protector installed. The iPhone was on upon takeoff but froze and shut down as the temperature dropped. When the iPhone 6 and flight rig were found, the iPhone was powered on and tested for full functionality.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple Predicted to Launch ARM-Based Macs in the Next Year or Two
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has issued a new report outlining his predictions for Apple chips over the next few years.
As one might expect, Kuo predicts that Apple will diversify its supplier lineup for A-series chips used in iOS devices. Samsung, TSMC, and GlobalFoundries are all said to contribute to future production.
For the A9 chip, Kuo predicts that production will be shared by Samsung and Global Foundries. TSMC is said to be responsible for production of the A9X processor that will reportedly be used in iPad models. In 2016 that split is said to flip with TSMC handling A10 production and Samsung being responsible for A10X chips.

18% of iPhone 6 owners say they will ‘definitely’ buy an Apple Watch and 11% say they will ‘probably’ purchase the device, according to a Credit Suisse survey.
That 18% would translate to roughly 35 million units; however, Credit Suisse believes that Apple will make just 20 million Apple Watches in 2015. That would suggest a supply shortage when the smartwatch goes on sale early this year.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple, Google, Intel, and Adobe Reach New Deal to Settle Anti-Poaching Lawsuit
Apple, Google, Intel, and Adobe have agreed to a new settlement to end a class action lawsuit that accused the companies of conspiring to prevent the poaching of each other’s employees, reports Reuters.
Plaintiffs accused Apple, Google, Intel Corp and Adobe Systems Inc in their 2011 lawsuit of limiting job mobility and, as a result, keeping a lid on salaries. The case has been closely watched because of the possibility of big damages being awarded and for the opportunity to peek into the world of some of America’s elite tech firms.
After a plaintiff objected, a previous settlement of $324.5 million was rejected by U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh as being too low. Reportedly, that plaintiff will not object to the new settlement deal; however, his attorney would not reveal the amount of the new settlement and it was not in the court filing.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Glitch in OS X Spotlight Exposes Private Details to Spammers and Phishers
A glitch in Apple’s OS X Spotlight can potentially expose sensitive details of Apple Mail users, including IP addresses and more to spammers, phishers, and other online tracing companies.
When searching with Spotlight in OS X, Apple indexes emails received with the Apple Mail client; however, when performing the searches, Spotlight shows previews of the emails and automatically loads external images in the HTML email. There is a setting in the Mail application that when switched off, prevents the loading of remote content in messages. Unfortunately, there currently is a glitch with Spotlight that still loads the files even with the setting switch off.
The Spotlight preview loads those files even when users have switched off the “load remote content in messages” option in the Mail app, a feature often disabled to prevent email senders from knowing if an email has arrived and if it has been opened. What’s more, Spotlight also loads those files when it shows previews of unopened emails that landed directly in the junk folder.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - HomeKit Devices to Require Apple TV for Siri Control When You're Away From Home
The slew of HomeKit home automation devices that will soon hit the market require an Apple TV for Siri control when you’re away from home, reports The Verge. The site says the requirement has been confirmed by a source close to HomeKit’s development and two launch partners.
Only the third generation Apple TV running iOS 7.0 or later will have support for HomeKit.
Each new Wi-Fi device also shares one common trait: an Apple TV is required if you want to control them with Siri while away from home. So, while commands like “Siri, turn off the lights in the living room” will always work while connected to your home Wi-Fi network, they won’t from the airport unless you have an Apple TV. But that’s it — you can still switch off the lights with an app, no Apple TV required.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco said the plaintiffs, Uriel Marcus and Benedict Verceles, failed to show that Apple made “affirmative misrepresentations,” despite citing online complaints and Apple marketing statements calling the laptops “state of the art” or the “most advanced” on the market.
“Plaintiffs have failed to allege that Apple’s logic boards were unfit for their ordinary purposes or lacked a minimal level of quality,” Alsup wrote. “Both plaintiffs were able to adequately use their computers for approximately 18 months and two years, respectively.”

This new program will mark Apple’s first expansion of pre-release iOS version testing beyond developers and employees within the walls of Apple’s Cupertino headquarters. For the past few Mac OS X releases, Apple has provided early copies of the system to employees, which has helped Apple identify bugs before public launches.
iOS pre-releases have always been limited to developers and select corporate employees, but Apple’s expansion to retail employees is most likely is an effort to improve the software quality of iOS. Apple greatly expanded OS X’s testing pool with a public beta of OS X Yosemite last year.

According to the source, these OLED displays will be used for smartphones and wearables. This raises quite a few important question in regards to Apple’s future plans, not only because LG is currently the main supplier of panels for the iWatch (Apple’s only wearable at this point), but also due to the fact that so far Apple has only used LCD displays in the production of its iPhones.

With iOS 8, Apple rolled out many security and privacy enhancements. One of the biggest security features included encryption of your personal data such as photos, messages, emails, call history and more. On the new operating system, Apple cannot decrypt or extract any of the information on your device, even if it was required to do so.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance sees these new security and privacy features as “an issue of public safety, ” and believes Apple should be required to decrypt the information on the phone.
“It’s developed into a sort of high-stakes game,” Vance said. “They’ve eliminated accessibility in order to market the product. Now that means we have to figure out how to solve a problem that we didn’t create.”

Monster, which helped design the original Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, is suing Beats Electronics, and co-founders Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. Beats was acquired last year by Apple.
Monster claims that Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine both stole the technology behind Monster headphones when the two companies worked together. The suit also claims the two conspired to get rid of Monster and worked to damage the Monster reputation.
The suit, filed in San Mateo (Calif.) County Superior Court, charges that the Beats co-founders concealed the role of Monster and Lee in designing and engineering the headphone line, as well as educating them about engineering, manufacturing, distributing and selling the headphones that Monster and Lee invented.

Renders of a larger iPad rear shell have reportedly been leaked from out of Foxconn. The images were posted online earlier today by Nowhereelse.
Captured gently by a worker who claims to work in a factory FOXCONN, the snapshot below seems to confirm the existence of the imposing shelf. The employee in question specifies that the phases of testing (EVT) launched in the course of last summer were halted following the recent approval by Apple last prototypes made by a subcontractor and that production top boxes that will host the components of this iPad XXL is about to start.
The person who took the photo claims the thickness is between 6.9 and 7.5mm. Notably, in the image we can see additional speaker holes at the top of the device supporting claims that the larger iPad, possibly called the iPad Pro or iPad Plus will have stereo speakers. Previous reports suggest that the iPad will feature a 12.2-inch LCD and be 7mm thick.

In Gomboli’s vision, the new UI would feature notifications, widgets, and more — all without opening the cover of the device. When the case closes, the phone would switch UIs to match the smaller display (similar to Apple’s Smart Cases that simply turn off the display).
The iPod Cover for iPhone 6 would come in multiple colors, feature premium leather, and a low 3mm profile.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Hacker Releases New Tool to Brute-Force Attack iCloud Passwords
iDict, a new tool released by Pr0x13, claims to bypass brute-force safeguards and two-factor authentication when cracking an iCloud account password.
Currently Apple locks a user’s account if it notices many incorrect password attempts in a short amount of time. iDict bypasses the restriction and essentially has an “unlimited” amount of attempts to guess at an account’s password. The tool uses a dictionary of common passwords and attempts to find a match, so if you’re password isn’t on the list, you’re safe; however, another hacker could always use a different dictionary. Additionally, you need to have the account’s email address in order to attempt to crack the password.
Pr0x13 says the hole was “painfully obvious” and it was only a matter of time before it was used privately for malicious activities; therefore, he released it publicly so Apple could close it.

The plaintiffs are seeking damages and changes to Apple’s policies and hope to represent the “sweeping classes” of users who upgraded to iOS 8.
Plaintiffs also believe Apple exploits the storage constrains in order to push more iCloud subscriptions when people run out of space.

A U.S. District Court Judge William Alsop has dismissed the class action lawsuit filed against Apple over wages lost due to bag searches at retail stores.
The original suit claimed that Apple’s anti-theft policy and bag search policies at retail stores can cause employees to wait 15 minutes every time they clock out to leave for a lunch break or at the end of a shift — resulting in over $1,500 of unpaid wages each year per employee.
A similar case involving Amazon hit the Supreme Court earlier this year and the court sided with Amazon, claiming that bag searches were not “integral and indispensable” to their jobs; therefore, Amazon was not responsible for paying employees for time spent standing in security lines.

Previous reports indicated that Apple would be relying more on Samsung for production of next-generation A9 chips; however, a new report from Taipei Times (via MacRumors) claims that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), not Samsung, will be Apple’s primary A9 chip supplier.
Current A8 chip production is shared between Samsung and TSMC, with a majority (70%) of production sourced from TSMC. Despite previous reports that Apple would shift production to Samsung for next-generation chips, Apple may still give a majority of A9 chip orders to TSMC because of its better yields.
“The two companies’ technological capabilities are similar, so the key factor will be whose mass-production yield is better,” said MIC director Chris Hung.

Negotiations between the Silicon Valley giant and at least one of the biggest banks have proved tricky, however, because of wrangling over the terms, including what data Apple will be able to access, according to sources. It is understood the bank is uncomfortable with the amount of personal and financial information Apple wants to collect about its customers.

Two new Reachability tweaks have surfaced for jailbroken devices that are definitely worth a download. Both ReachApp and Switchability let users activate a multitasking/app switcher while in Reachability view.
First we have ReachApp, which is still in beta. We’ve been using it for a few days now and haven’t run into too many issues. ReachApp brings true split-screen multitasking to the iPhone by placing the last used app in the Reachability view. Users can also choose to place the notification center in the view instead of an app. There’s also the option to resize the Reachability view.
ReachApp is free, but you have to add the beta repo in Cydia (http://elijahandandrew.com/repo/) in order to use it.

Ignition runs the CarPlay UI directly on top of SpringBoard without the need for a vehicle. This makes it very useful for anyone who has their iPad mounted in the car.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Google Now Streaming 'The Interview' on Google Play and YouTube Movies
Google has officially announced that it’s made ‘The Interview’ available to rent or buy via Google Play and YouTube Movies.
Last Wednesday Sony began contacting a number of companies, including Google, to ask if we’d be able to make their movie, “The Interview,” available online. We’d had a similar thought and were eager to help—though given everything that’s happened, the security implications were very much at the front of our minds.
Of course it was tempting to hope that something else would happen to ensure this movie saw the light of day. But after discussing all the issues, Sony and Google agreed that we could not sit on the sidelines and allow a handful of people to determine the limits of free speech in another country (however silly the content might be).

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple Reportedly Declined Offer From Sony Pictures to Stream 'The Interview' on iTunes
Apple reportedly declined an offer form Sony Pictures to stream the controversial film “The Interview” on iTunes. According to The New York Times, Apple showed no interest to stream the film, especially with the speedy time table Sony was requesting.
It remained unclear, however, whether any on-demand service would take “The Interview.” According to people briefed on the matter, Sony had in recent days asked the White House for help in lining up a single technology partner — Apple, which operates iTunes — but the tech company was not interested, at least not on a speedy time table. An Apple spokesman declined to comment.
“The Interview” has become a highly-anticipated film after it was cancelled by Sony Pictures. Hackers (presumably with ties to North Korea) breached Sony’s internal systems and leaked terabytes of data. Additionally, the hackers threatened any theater that participated in the movie’s release, which was slated for December 25 — Christmas Day; however, Sony changed its plans and is now releasing the film in online, through its website, and some theaters.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Auxo 3 Tweak for iOS 8 Released
Auxo 3, a new version of the popular jailbreak tweak, has been released for iOS 8. Auxo 3 builds on many of the powerful enhancements Auxo 2 delivered, while bringing new features as well. Just like its predecessor, the tweak was designed by Sentry and developed by A3 tweaks.
At its core, Auxo 3 is comprised of three powerful features: Multi-Center, Quick Switcher, and Hot Corners. By intuitively utilizing the bottom edge of the screen, all three functions perform synergistically with one another as well as completely stand-alone, depending on your configuration.
Multi-Center gives you the ability to slide up from the bottom middle edge of the screen to access your Multitasking display, without losing the vital functionality traditionally found only in Control Center. Here you have access to the app switcher, brightness and volume sliders, playback controls and info, toggles, AirDrop and AirPlay, as well as the quick launcher (via a swipe up from the bottom, if hidden). Multi-Center also lets you expand app previews by pulling them downward, view full-screen album art by tapping the track title (hold to open app), and even beautifully close all apps by swiping the home screen preview up! Use Minimal Display mode for a cleaner look by hiding AirDrop/AirPlay and track seeker sections (still accessible via a swipe near the top or bottom).

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple Patent Shows Reverse AirPlay Streaming from an Apple TV to iOS Device
Apple has just been awarded a patent that outlines reverse AirPlay from an Apple TV to an iOS device. Specifically, the patent describes synchronizing a video stream on a fixed display, such as an Apple TV, with other smaller devices like an iPhone or an Apple Watch.
A method and system are described for displaying a synchronized instance of content on a portable electronic device. In the described embodiments, a selection of streaming content that is being displayed on a fixed display system is received by the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device then determines if the portable electronic device is compatible with the streaming content being received by the fixed display system. If the portable electronic device is compatible with the streaming content being received by the fixed display system, then the portable electronic device requests the synchronized instance of the streaming content and displays it.
Apple describes a scenario where a group of people are watching a movie on an Apple TV, and one person has to leave. The group could either pause the movie and wait, or simple keep watching and let the person who left miss out on programming. Apple’s solution is to enable the user who leaves the room temporarily to keep watching on portable devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch).

Apple has announced that iOS 8 adoption has reached 64% as measured by the App Store on December 22nd. That’s an increase of just 1% from December 8 when Apple last measured the number.
Adoption of iOS 8 was initially slower than iOS 7; however, it has been increasing steadily. Holiday sales of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are also likely to increase usage of the new operating system. It will be interesting to see how Christmas Day activations of new devices impact iOS 8’s adoption rate.

While Apple moved away from the 4-inch iPhone this year, analyst Timothy Arcuri of Cowen and Company claims Apple has been working on a new 4-inch “iPhone 6s Mini” that could debut in 2015.
According to Arcuri, Apple could debut iPhones with three different screen sizes in 2015 with the iPhone 6s Mini joining the current 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models. The new 4-inch device would be similar to the iPhone 5s, but feature an updated design with curved screen edges — similar to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
The new 4-inch phone could serve as a replacement for the iPhone 5c that Apple currently sells; however, Arcuri believes the newer model will include “purpose-built low cost components” from Qualcomm to keep the price down.

The bare, compacted soil fill of the excavated spaceship ring structure is now completely covered, with concrete joists now being laid out to build a floor structure. Earth ramps extending down into the ring floor are all gone; vehicles access is now provided through channels that will eventually connect to a rebuilt Pruneridge roadway that ducks underground to send cars beneath the surface to either the basement of the ring or to the two large parking structures at the south end of the site.
In the photos below you can also see that Apple’s underground theater is starting taking shape and the parking structure has now reached three stories. Recent building permits reveal the auditorium is valued at $161 million.

- New MacBook Air to Enter Mass Production in First Quarter of 2015?
Apple has completed a pilot production run of the new 12-inch MacBook Air and is expected to begin mass production of the laptop in the first quarter of 2015, reports DigiTimes.
Apple’s new MacBook Air features Intel’s Broadwell processors and a new chassis design to reduce the device’s overall thickness and weight, but the start of mass production has been hampered by low yield rates, the sources said. As the yield issue is gradually being resolved, mass production is expected to come in the first quarter of 2015, the sources explained.
The new MacBook Air is apparently even thinner than current models and will likely have a Retina display. Previous rumors suggested it could come in multiple colors and would feature a fanless design, a trackpad without a mechanical button, and thinner bezels.

Radu Dutzan, a product designer at Onda, has detailed his concept for remote interaction with the Apple TV.

“Wouldn’t it be great if instead of trying to imitate clicks, Remote allowed you to scroll lists on the screen, directly responding to the position of your finger on the tracking surface? Wouldn’t selection in a complex button layout?—?such as the keyboard?—?be much more usable if you could make the cursor move in any direction instantly? Wouldn’t it be awesome if the Apple TV remote control was a smooth clickable trackpad, like the one on the MacBook, that allowed for these behaviors without having to look at a second screen?”
