Once upon a time, Apple cofounder and erstwhile CEO Steve Jobs considered building his own wireless network, using unlicensed wifi spectrum, rather than pairing up with one of the existing carriers. Obviously that didn’t come about, but oh to wonder at what could have been.

Apple’s dumping Google (and has been for some years now). Eventually some variation on that theme will occur with the most likely candidate being mapping — boy, oh boy, the iPhone needs a new Maps app. The Cupertino kids have taken another step down that road as we learned they’ve purchased yet another [...]

In the internet age, everyone’s a source. Thereupon, the developer references, code snippets and placeholder pages are being bandied about as evidence for and against the existence of various iPhone models that, until Apple says otherwise, don’t exist.

That said, product placeholder pages on corporate websites are notoriously unreliable. Remember all of those [...]

iPhone 4S next month, iPhone 5 next year

Ronald O Carlson — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 00:00:08 +0000

How far from home do you have to be and not be overheard? For anyone directly associated with Apple, I expect the answer is not on this planet. And, exactly what iPhones will we be getting this year?

White iPod touch, and unicorns, coming in October

Microsoft has already said it won’t release an updated Zune and other media player competitors are equally moribund. What does this mean for Apple’s iPod line? For the foreseeable future, we won’t be seeing much, if any, real innovation.

September has come and all but gone without Apple’s annual iPod + iTunes media [...]

Not again! Apple lost another iPhone prototype

Ronald O Carlson — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 12:40:31 +0000

No police report has been filed in this particular incident, but the details are already familiar. An apple employee, hopefully not Gray Powell, left an iPhone 5 prototype in a San Francisco “tequila lounge” whereafter it might have been sold on Craigslist. I’m guessing Gizmodo wasn’t the buyer.
