 You love your smartphone — and who can blame you, really? There’s seemingly no limit to what it can do. . . . → Read More: The Xappr, because your smartphone doesn’t look enough like a gun  In a bid to keep iPhones sold in Hong Kong on the island nation, Apple has reintroduced reserve and pick up pages for the smartphones. The difference this time around is the inclusion of the customer’s Hong Kong identity card number within the registration form, which goes live between 9am and 12pm each day. The aim is put breaks on the speculative smartphone buyers picking up several devices to mule across to mainland China. . . . → Read More: Apple Hong Kong revives reserve and pick up page, wants to stop iPhones going abroad  AT&T this morning released its earnings for the fourth quarter of 2011. Consolidated revenues clocked in at $32.5 billion, up 3.6 percent compared to the year-earlier quarter . . . → Read More: AT&T Set Sales Records For Both iPhone And Android Devices In Q4 2011  We touched on the numbers in our report on Apple’s Q1 earnings, but the company’s throwing out a lot of “record” figures so we thought we’d take a moment to focus on just how its hardware sales stack up. The standout number is, of course, the 37.04 million iPhones sold during the quarter, which is up 128 percent from the same quarter a year ago (and up from 17 million in the previous quarter, a jump of 117 percent). That notably puts Apple back ahead of Samsung, which sold a total of 35 million smartphones in its most recent quarter . . . → Read More: Apple’s Q1 hardware sales: 37 million iPhones, 15.43 million iPads, 5.2 million Macs, 15.4 million iPods  It’s that time folks: time for the quarterly running of the spreadsheets. Today Apple, one the most anticipated of all, is revealing its earnings for the past three months and let’s just say things are lookin’ pretty good for the Cupertino crew. The company set a new record for quarterly revenue and profit in Q1 of 2012, netting $46.33 billion in total with $13.06 billion earnings — the latter number representing about half of the company’s annual profit . . . → Read More: Apple announces Q1 earnings, sets quarterly record with $46.33 billion in revenue  802.11ac, sometimes referred to as 5G or gigabit Wi-Fi, hasn’t been finalized and Apple seldom if ever speaks ahead of time about the incorporation of new technology into the iPhone, iPad, or Mac lines, but they were aggressive in adopting 802.11n while it was in the draft stages and 802.11ac appears to have even more to recommend it. The new 802.11ac standard achieves much faster wireless networking speeds than the existing 802.11n specification (in use on the latest Mac, AirPort and iOS devices) by using 2 to 4 times the frequency bandwidth (from 80 to 160MHz), more efficient data transfers through sophisticated modulation, and more antennas (up to 8; existing standards support up to 4, while Apple’s Macs currently use up to 3) . . . → Read More: Could we see 802.11ac 5G gigabit Wi-Fi in iPhone and iPad in 2012?  Marc, Seth, and Rene iterate about the iPhone mute switch (sigh), Android interface guidelines, Windows Phone at CES 2012, and PNG compression redux, and interrogate Mike Rundle of Flyosity. Plus, we sneak a question to Joe Belfiore of Windows Phone. . . . → Read More: Iterate 14: Flyosity  According to The New York Times , not the cost of labor, not the cost of components, but rather the speed and flexibility with which Chinese factories can respond to iPhone and iPad manufacturing demands is reportedly the reason Apple prefers them over their U.S. counterparts. One former executive described how the company relied upon a Chinese factory to revamp iPhone manufacturing just weeks before the device was due on shelves . . . → Read More: Apple reportedly believes Chinese factories faster, more flexible than U.S. counterparts  According to Nielsen , the amount of all smartphones running iOS — namely the iPhone — rose from 30% to 37% over the last 3 months, compared to the share of all smartphones running Android OS — namely 8 googlezillion at last official count — rose from 46.3% to 51.7%. The growth came largely at the expense of BlackBerry , which shrank from 14.9% to 6% over the same period . . . → Read More: Apple share of smartphone market rises with iPhone 4S release |
