Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple Tops Interbrand's Best Global Brands Ranking for the Second Year in a Row

For the second year in a row, Apple and Google claim the top positions on Interbrand’s Best Global Brands ranking.
Valued at USD $118.9 billion, Apple (#1) increased its brand value by 21 percent. Google (#2), valued at $107.43 billion, increased its brand value by 15 percent. For the first time in the history of Best Global Brands two global brands – not just one – have each earned a brand value that exceeds USD $100 billion.
Huawei (#94), the Chinese telecommunications and network equipment provider, also makes Best Global Brands history as the first Chinese company to appear on Interbrand’s ranking. With 65 percent of its revenue coming from outside of China and with its earnings continuing to climb both domestically and across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Huawei is quickly becoming one of the largest telecommunications equipment makers in the world. The company is currently the third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world—just behind Samsung and Apple. The Chinese brand is one of five new entrants to enter the Best Global Brands ranking this year—the others being DHL (#81), Land Rover (#91), FedEx (#92), and Hugo Boss (#97).

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - WSJ: Apple Delays Production of 12.9-inch iPad to 2015, 12-inch Retina MacBook Enters Production in December

Apple will delay production of a larger 12.9-inch iPad until 2015, reports The Wall Street Journal. The report cites difficulties with meeting iPhone production (specifically the iPhone 6 Plus) as a reason for the delay. Apple had originally planned to produce the larger units in mass volume beginning in December according to people familiar with the matter.
“The top priority for the supply chain is to meet the overwhelming demand for the larger screen iPhones. The output of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus remains unsatisfactory,” the source said. “It would be challenging for display makers to split resources and spend a few months to ramp up production for a new larger screen iPad now.”
The WSJ also states suppliers are gearing up for mass production of a 12-inch Retina MacBook Air in December. Currently, Apple offers only 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models that do not feature a retina display.

“The Note 4 does bend a little bit and funny enough it’s in exactly the same spot as the 6 Plus. It’s no where near as severe. I just have a tiny little warp here and I had to put a lot of pressure into it to achieve that, but still, at that same amount of pressure the Note 3 was completely fine.”

In regards to Cook’s comments, Schmidt said, “Someone didn’t brief him correctly on Google’s policies. It’s unfortunate for him. In the first place, in Google’s case, we have always been the leader in security and encryption. Our systems are far more secure and encrypted than anyone including Apple. They’re catching up, which is great. Aside from the fact that we show ads in Gmail which we’ve done for a decade and we use that information for nothing, all the things he implied we’re doing, we don’t do.”

It’s configuration is saved in a separate file and then the program reads /Library to find out which application it won’t be interacting with. If no ‘unwanted’ directories are found, it determines the home directory, checks to see if its configuration file is in the directory and then writes the data it needs to run into the file.
When running, iWorm opens a port on the computer and waits for an incoming connection. Notably, it uses reddit to obtain a list of control servers to connect to.

Apple will reportedly release iOS 8.1 and launch Apple Pay on October 20th, according to Bank Innovation.

Sources who spoke to Bank Innovation indicated that the public release of iOS 8.1 will be in sometime in October and may have improvements for other Apple services. Previously, 9to5Mac’s Mark Gurman reported that iOS 8 will be adding major improvements to the Apple Maps app, which hasn’t been added on to the initial (very buggy) release of iOS 8. We expect that the iOS 8.1 release will be timed to the still-unconfirmed October event held by Apple to announce their new iPad devices, as other websites have previously reported and Bank Innovation has heard rumors about, as well.
Apple seeded the first beta of iOS 8.1 to developers for download and testing on September 29th. Developer Hamza Sood managed to unearth Apple Pay settings and privacy information in the beta release.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - iPhone Wi-Fi Speed Test: 802.11ac iPhone 6 Plus vs. 802.11n iPhone 5s [Video]

We’ve posted a new video test comparing the Wi-Fi speeds of the 802.11ac iPhone 6 Plus versus the 802.11n iPhone 5s.
Both devices were freshly restored to iOS 8.0 and connected to the 2013 Apple AirPort Extreme. The router was placed 1.5 metres away from the smartphones and each iPhone was connected to the AirPort Extreme using a 5GHz-only network. No other devices were connected to the wireless network at the time of the test and the downloads were performed at separate times. We cut them together for comparison.
As you will see in the video, there is a substantial speed improvement!

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Jony Ive Discusses Steve Jobs, Apple Watch in Rare Vogue Interview

Vogue published a new interview with Jony Ive, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Design, highlighting his work with the company. Vogue editor Robert Sullivan sat down with Ive weeks before Apple unveiled the Apple Watch and even got a chance to see the product.
Ive first discussed his connection with Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and how the two “just clicked.”
Five years later, a disenchanted Ive was about to leave when Jobs returned to reboot the then-floundering Apple, which happened, by most analyses, when Jobs enabled Ive. By Ive’s account, the two hit it off immediately. “It was literally the meeting showing him what we’d worked on,” Ive says, “and we just clicked.” Ive talks about feeling a little apart, like Jobs. “When you feel that the way you interpret the world is fairly idiosyncratic, you can feel somewhat ostracized and lonely”—big laugh here—“and I think that we both perceived the world in the same way.”

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - The iPhone 5c Was the Best Selling Smartphone in the U.K Ahead of the iPhone 6 Launch

The iPhone 5c was the best selling smartphone in the U.K ahead of the launch of the iPhone 6, reports Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.
Historically in the month before a new iPhone is released we see a drop in sales share for Apple as users hold out for the new model. However, Apple has managed to limit the drop this year with its share of sales dipping just 1.6 percentage points versus July this year – almost half the equivalent drop seen in 2013 ahead of the iPhone 5 launch. This has in part been achieved through focusing on the iPhone 5c which tends to attract a slightly less tech savvy buyer who will be less likely to be holding off for the iPhone 6. The iPhone 5c was the best selling phone in Britain in August with 8.9% share, outselling the flagship iPhone 5s with 7.6% and the Samsung Galaxy S5 with 6.0%.
Kantar notes that out of the 13.3 million iPhone owners in the U.K., some 4 million are ready for an upgrade. Before the iPhone 6 unveiling, 85% of owners indicated that they would buy another iPhone at upgrade time.

A video has surfaced online showing two kids in the U.K. going into an Apple Store and bending the iPhone 6 Plus units on display.
The kids foolishly showed their faces at the start of the video then uploaded it YouTube, thinking they would not get caught. By the time they tried to take down the clip, it had already been mirrored and reuploaded to YouTube.
The video shows them trying to bend various iPhones 6 units in the store. The iPhone 6 Plus bends until the display pops out; however, the iPhone 6 did not bend as easily. The two then ask an Apple employee about whether the new smartphone really bends and are told that it doesn’t under regular use.

Apple has a new line of iMacs with ultra high resolution Retina displays in late testing stages, according to 9to5Mac. The desktop also features a faster processor and improved Wi-Fi antennas. It’s believed the new iMac could launch alongside OS X Yosemite later this year.
As for the resolution of the new Retina iMac, OS X Yosemite betas include references to 6400 x 3600, 5760×3240, and 4096×2304 resolution screens. Apple has been rumored to be working on a 5K iMac display for launch later this year, so perhaps that’s the direction Apple will take, and a recently introduced DisplayPort standard update could make this a reality.
Sources say Apple is also working to update iMovie and Final Cut Pro with better tools for editing 4K footage.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Charging the iPhone 6 Costs Just $0.47 Per Year

Charging the new Apple iPhone 6 only costs about $0.47 per year and charging its big brother, the iPhone 6 Plus, doesn’t cost much more, according to oPower.
Using a Watts Up Pro Electricity Consumption Meter, oPower discovered that it takes about 10.5 watt-hours of electricity to fully charge an iPhone 6. If you do that 365 times a year, that’s 3.8 kilowatt-hours in total. At an average US retail price of 12.29 cents per kilowatt-hour, it will cost iPhone 6 users just $0.47 per year to charge their device.
The iPhone 6 Plus has a larger battery and thus draws more electricity per fill-up (16.8 watt-hours). However, oPower estimates that it only needs a fill-up once every 1.46 days. Thus, it will cost iPhone 6 Plus owners about $0.52 per year to charge their device.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple Likely Equipped the iPhone 6 With Two Accelerometers to Minimize Power Consumption

Recent iPhone 6 teardowns reveal that the iPhone 6 features two accelerometers, a six-axis InvenSense combination gyroscope-accelerometer and a Bosch BMA280 three-axis accelerometer. The big question has been why Apple would need two accelerometers in the new iPhone. After some analysis Chipworks believes the answer is power management.
The InvenSense device can operate as a six axis inertial sensor, or as either a three-axis gyroscope or a three-axis accelerometer. It is rated to consume 3.4 mA in the six-axis mode, 3.2 mA in the gyroscope mode and 450 µA in the accelerometer normal mode. By contrast, the Bosch device operates as a 3-axis accelerometer only and it consumes 130 µA of current in the accelerometer normal mode. Both devices offer two low power levels of operation for the accelerometer function. The InvenSense device actually consumes less current in its lowest power mode, with a 1 Hz update rate.
The InvenSense can provide full six-axis integration of the data by the on-chip digital motion processor which is great for gaming and other applications that need sophisticated inertial sensing capabilities and higher sensitivity.

The company used a “three-point flexural test” which supports the device at two points on either end and then applies force using a high-precision Instron compression test machine. They tested the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, iPhone 5, LG G3, Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and HTC One (M8).
At first, 10 pounds of force was applied for 30 seconds, then released. They increased the force in 10-pound increments, noting when the phones first started to deform and when they saw the screen come loose from the case.

“I am a huge believer in the rule of law, but I am also a believer that no one in this country is beyond the law,” Comey told reporters. “What concerns me about this is companies marketing something expressly to allow people to place themselves above the law.”

Unbox Therapy has followed up their original iPhone 6 Plus bend test video with a new one that puts several other smartphones to the test.
Thankfully, the iPhone 6 performs much better than the iPhone 6 Plus, proving fairly difficult to bend. While there does appear to be some risk that you will bend the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus in your pocket, it seems much less likely to happen with the 4.7-inch iPhone 6. That being said, all the other smartphones tested did even better than both iPhone 6 models with the Moto X holding up the best.

Security on the Apple Touch ID fingerprint reader of the iPhone 6 has only been marginally tightened and it’s still vulnerable to a simple fake fingerprint hack, reports Marc Rogers, chief security researcher at Lookout Mobile Security.
“I don’t think people need to worry just yet, but there are distinct flaws that could lead to problems down the line, he told CNET. Rogers used the same low-budget technique to fake fingerprints and unlock the iPhone 6 as he demonstrated previously on the iPhone 5S.
“Sadly there has been little in the way of measurable improvement in the sensor between these two devices,” he wrote. “Fake fingerprints created using my previous technique were able to readily fool both devices.”

We received reports that the update causes cell service and Touch ID issues. Users constantly see ‘Searching’ or ‘No Service’ in the place of the carrier’s text. In addition, Touch ID is completely broken. From what we understand, the issues are centered around the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus — other iPhone users are not reporting any major issues.
We recommend that users hold off on updating, until Apple releases another update to fix these issues. If you’ve already downloaded, you can downgrade to iOS 8 for a limited time.

Although it’s not waterproof, the new iPhone 6 can actually survive being underwater for 10 seconds, according to tests performed by SquareTrade.
The extended warranty provider has posted a ‘Breakability Test’ video which shows the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus being put through a series of tests to determine their breakability score.
Most notable is the water test in which both smartphones were submersed for 10 seconds. Although the audio stopped play briefly on both devices, it soon returned and both were fully functional after being removed from the water. This is likely due to the new gaskets that Apple has placed around power and volume buttons, as noted in iFixit’s tear down review.

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 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.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - 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.

So what’s the catch? First, it requires an iPhone 5s with 32GB or 64GB storage capacity. Second, it requires iOS 7, which on September 17th will become an outdated OS. Third, and perhaps most prohibiting, the app costs a whopping $999.99.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple to Implement New Digital Queue System for iPhone 6 Launch Day

Apple is set to revamp its process for purchasing an iPhone on launch day, reports 9to5Mac.
Previously, customers who lined up to purchase a new device were given paper cards specifying the item they were planning to purchase. These cards helped stores keep track of quantities and when models were sold out. However, for the iPhone 6 launch, Apple is planning a virtual queue.
Apple will forgo the traditional paper cards and instead place customers in a virtual queue. This new system is called Reservation Pass. It will sync with Back Of House inventory information in realtime so Apple doesn’t handout too many product reservations. Customers will receive their digital reservation card via SMS or Email. A reservation allows the customer to come back at any point during the day to make their purchase. Customers could also leave line in the past but it was not encouraged since the physical card reservation system was not as accurate as the new Reservation Pass system.

Apple will use NFC and Tokenization technology for its payments platform, according to BankInnovation sources ‘close to Apple and with knowledge of Apple’s plans for its new smartphone’.
Financial institutions — card issuers and networks — prefer token technology because it replaces primary account numbers, those 16-digit card numbers on the front of credit and debit cards. Instead, the tokenization technology uses complex codes that are easily transmittable over the air and between devices, but that are used only once, so even if they are intercepted, are of no use to fraudsters.
The site also points to a 2013 patent entitled ‘Secure communication between trusted parties’ in which Apple details how tokens might be used.

The company is likely looking to form closer ties to the fashion world which may be a critical factor for the success of its iWatch.
A smartwatch would represent Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook’s first real new product since taking the baton from Steve Jobs. Several fashion media editors told Reuters they received invitations for the first time to an annual September product-launch, which they took as confirmation of a wristwatch in the wings.
“I assume it’s because they are unveiling a wearable,” said Lea Goldman of Marie Claire magazine, a first-time invitee. “This suggests Apple is serious about tapping into the fashion world, which often sits on the sidelines.”
