Never is a strong word, but apparently not strong enough to actually
ring true when it comes to Kanye West and his newest album, “The Life of
Pablo.”
Back in February, West released his
latest album through the streaming music service, Tidal, of which he’s a
major partner and public-facing figure. While Tidal was able to rocket
up the App Store charts following the album’s release, it looks like
West has “seen the light,” and decided that allowing even more people to
listen to the album, and even buy it, is a good thing.
And sure enough, “The Life of Pablo” is now available
through Apple Music, Spotify, and Google Play Music. What’s more, if you
want to buy it, that’s now a possibility, too. The trick is you’ll have
to head over to West’s official site to do that, because it’s not
available for purchase through iTunes or other digital storefronts just
yet. No, there isn’t any indication that West plans on adding the album
to other storefronts to buy, but considering how this all went down, it
doesn’t seem like it’s an impossibility, either.
The fact that “The Life of Pablo” is now available to buy, and
through Apple Music, means that West completely reversed his position on
this. Back in February, when the album dropped, West tweeted
out that the album would “never never never be on Apple Music,” adding
that it would “never be for sale,” too, just for good measure.
Basically, West was drumming up support for Tidal — at least trying to,
anyway. That started to change when, recently, West released a single track from the album on Apple Music, signaling this eventual outcome. Kanye West’s “The Life of Pablo” on Apple Music
For many Major League Baseball teams, it’s Opening Day, which means
the brand new season is about to get underway. Just in time for the
first pitches, Siri‘s baseball knowledge has expanded in a big way.
As first reported by The Verge,
Apple has officially updated Siri to answer even more of your detailed
baseball-specific questions. That even includes asking the digital
personal assistant queries that date back to the sport’s beginning. Siri
will now offer up answers for career statistics of specific players,
like Babe Ruth, and Siri can now give you feedback on 28 other leagues,
including the Minors, too.
Apple expanded Siri’s functionality with sports scores way back in 2012, with the release of iOS 6.
However, for the true fans of a particular sport, just asking what the
score is probably isn’t enough. Apple giving Siri the ability to pull up
records that go back many, many years is pretty great, and for anyone
caught with a particular baseball trivia question, it sounds like Siri
could come to the rescue.
However, as the original report notes, some of Siri’s responses are
still not as full-fledged as others. For example, asking the digital
personal assistant, “When was the last time the Yankees had a perfect
game?” only brings up a general search query about the team in question,
and not an actual answer. There’s still some work to be done, it seems,
but Apple’s continuously working on improving Siri. In fact, the
digital personal assistant is said to be a major tentpole feature in an upcoming version of OS X.
And this isn’t the first big news for Apple and MLB, as it was reported recently that Apple will supply team managers in their dugouts with iPad Pros.

In a new note issued to investors by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi
Kuo, Apple will keep the dual-lens camera system exclusive to the bigger
5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus.
Reports about Apple employing a dual-lens camera system on the iPhone
due to be released later this year have been circulating since the last
few months.
With iPhones now trailing Android smartphones in camera
performance, Apple really needs to step up its game in the regard. The
dual-lens camera system might just allow the company to do so, and make
the iPhone a leader in smartphone camera performance once again.
The only difference in terms of camera between the iPhone 6s and
iPhone 6s Plus is the lack of OIS on the former, but the lack of a
dual-lens camera setup on the smaller iPhone 7 might force consumers to
shift to a larger iPhone this year.
Ming-Chi Kuo says in his note that many other Android smartphones
that will be launched before the iPhone 7 Plus this year will also
feature a dual-camera system, though their first impressions might be
underwhelming.
A report from February from this year claimed that Apple had already started receiving dual-lens camera components from its suppliers for testing.
Reports surrounding the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus indicate that both
handsets will sport a waterproof design. To make the handsets even
thinner, Apple will also be ditching the 3.5mm audio jack from them and
instead present Lightning port as a replacement for it.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro went on sale in quite a few markets of the world last week, and today, courtesy of iFixit, the
first teardown of the tablet is now live. The teardown reveals quite a
few interesting tidbits about the smaller iPad Pro from Apple.
Just like its elder brother and unlike the iPad Air lineup, the
9.7-inch iPad Pro makes use of EMI shielding to protect the logic board
from any unregulated radio interference. Apple has also used new antenna
interconnect boards to provide further rigidity to the display of the
new iPad Pro.
The iFixit team also notes that majority of the
area inside the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is occupied by its 27.91 Whr battery,
which is just a wee bit larger than the 27.52 Whr battery found inside
the iPad Air. On the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the four stereo speakers
occupied the most area.
In the end, the iFixit team gives the 9.7-inch iPad Pro a
repairability score of 2 out of 10. This essentially means that carrying
any in-house repair on the tablet is a recipe for disaster. The iFixit team
notes that the fused front panel on the 9.7-inch iPad Pro dramatically
increases the cost of a screen repair, and the chances of damaging the
LCD when opening the tablet. Plus, the copious amount of adhesive used
by Apple to hold everything in place does not help matters either.

HP will announce its next laptop on Tuesday, and the company is
confident that fans will love it. In fact, it thinks it’s so good that
it will replace Apple’s MacBook as “the driver of innovation.”
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal ahead of its event
tomorrow, HP PC chief Ron Coughlin said that “for years, Apple has been
seen as the innovator and the driver of innovation.” But with its new
premium notebook, “HP is really taking over that mantle.”
Given how popular Apple’s laptops are — and the critical
acclaim they get for being the best in the business in almost all areas —
that’s a big promise to make. Not only will HP’s new notebook have to
be prettier than Apple’s, but it will also need stellar battery life and
premium features.
For years, Apple’s machines have been praised for their displays,
keyboards, trackpads, and battery life. They’re also terrific
performers; even the new MacBook with its fanless Intel Core M chip is
capable of fulfilling the needs of most consumers.
HP has been following Apple’s laptops closely for a number of years.
Some of its more recent releases — such as the Elitebook Folio that was
announced at CES back in January — are very close to being straight up
MacBook clones.
HP’s new machine is expected to be even thinner than that Elitebook
Folio, which measures less than half an inch thick, and will cater to
consumers who just want a laptop that’s a laptop — not a laptop/tablet
hybrid like the Microsoft Surface Pro.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on HP’s event on Tuesday, and we’ll let
you know whether we think HP really can take down the MacBook with its
next notebook.

iPhone SE may look identical to 2013’s iPhone 5s,
but its body has one big improvement. Like Apple’s latest iPhones, the
new 4-inch model is made out of Series 7000 aluminum that should make it
more durable. Does it work? Find out in the gruesome hammer and knife
test below.
Serial smartphone destroyer TechRax wasted no time in subjecting
Apple’s latest iPhone to a series of painful torture tests right after
unboxing it. In the hammer and knife test below, he attempts to find out
how well the Rose Gold model copes with impact and scratches.
TechRax starts by stabbing the device with a knife,
leaving gauges in its aluminum unibody and smashing its sapphire crystal
camera lens. The iPhone SE obviously doesn’t do too well in this test,
but it does surprise us in the hammer test.
It takes dozens of blows and a fair amount of force to shatter the
iPhone SE’s Gorilla Glass display. Being smaller, it’s obviously not as
fragile as larger smartphones, which means you’re less likely to breat
it when you drop it on the ground. It’s clear it’s not too difficult to
damage its pretty Rose Gold finish, though, so we still recommend a
case.
Apple’s bid to increase its success in India by selling used iPhones
hasn’t been well-received by local companies, who are concerned that
the move will increase the amount of electronic waste and jeopardize
their future. Industry executives are now fighting Apple’s plan.
Apple wants permission from the Indian government to import and sell
used phones in the country. If it is granted that permission, it will be
the first company that has been allowed to do business this way in
India. But local mobile companies are hoping Apple won’t get its wish.
“A growing number of industry executives are fighting the
move, warning government officials in private that it’ll open the
floodgates to electronic waste, jeopardize local players, and make a
farce of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Make in India program to
encourage local manufacturing,” reports Bloomberg.
Sudhir Hasija, chairman of Karbonn Mobiles, which sells around 1.7
million phones a month in India, says “Make in India could turn into
Dump in India.”
Apple has become increasingly interested in selling the iPhone in India,
the world’s second-largest mobile population, as growth slows in the
U.S. and China. In fact, India has become a top priority as the
Cupertino company looks to open its first retail stores there.
But locals are fighting to make things harder for Apple and prevent a
potential threat to Indian companies. The Mobile and Communications
Council, the main representative body for India’s electronics industry,
is now opposing Apple’s application to sell used devices.
“Why even consider allowing import of used phones when import of
other used goods such as cars are precluded by 300 percent duty levies?”
asked chariman Ravinder Zutshi.
Apple has already had its application rejected once
— back in 2015. But it is now under review again after the company
resubmitted it with more details on its plans. As things stand, the
application has gone to inter-ministerial discussion.
“That adds a layer of bureaucracy to a process that’s far from certain,” adds Bloomberg. “The
government could go either way, though it’s encountering far greater
local opposition than the first time around. The company declined to
comment.”
One of the biggest concerns is that Apple’s plan will result in a
deluge of used electronics imports, which would go against the prime
minister’s localization drive. It could also have an environmental
impact. “When destroyed, phones product toxic materials that India isn’t
equipped to deal with.”
Apple already sells new iPhones in India through
third-party retail partners, and although they’ve been doing okay, the
company’s high price tags mean that it’s difficult to make a real
footprint. Apple currently holds less than 2 percent of Indian
smartphone market share.
Selling used devices could allow Apple to better compete with more
affordable smartphones. Four-fifths of those sold in India cost less
then $150 each, but despite that, Apple CEO Tim Cook still sees India as
an “incredibly exciting” prospect.
[Bloomberg]
Like it happens with every new iPhone release, the iPhone SE
has also been subjected to a waterproof test. Yes, Apple does not
mention anywhere that the iPhone SE is a waterproof or a water-resistant
phone, but that did not stop YouTuber Zach Straley from conducting a
waterproof test.
For comparison, Zach also conducted the same test on the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 6s
alongside the iPhone SE just to show how much waterproof Apple’s latest
4-inch iPhone is compared to its predecessor and Apple’s flagship
4.7-inch iPhone.
All the three phones were submerged in three different boxes filled
with water and their timer was switched on to time the whole process.
The iPhone 5s was the first iPhone to actually exhibit water damage
around the 5 mins mark, but the iPhone 6s and iPhone SE continued to
work fine even after being submerged in water for more than 15 mins.
Interestingly, the iPhone 6s and iPhone SE continued to work fine
even after being submerged in water for an hour. The speaker on the
iPhone SE did sound a bit muffled, but that was likely due to some water
being present inside it, which should eventually automatically drain.
Now, the video above does not prove in anyway that the iPhone SE or
the iPhone 6s are waterproof or water-resistant, so don’t go about
dunking your new 4-inch iPhone in water. It should, however, give you
some peace of mind to know that next time you accidentally spill some
liquid on your iPhone SE, the phone should emerge unscathed from the
accident.
And it’s just as good on the Baby Pro as it is on the bigger iPad
Pro. And thanks to the Baby Pro’s smaller form factor, you’ll be able to
sketch comfortably even when there’s not enough space around.
12. USB 2.0 Transfer Speeds
At the event, Apple made a big deal about the Lightening to USB Camera Adaptor
that lets users both charge the iPad and use a USB accessory at the
same time. It’s a great accessory for photographers who want to use the
iPad to edit photos and videos.
The only problem is that the new, 9.7 inch iPad will transfer files
at USB 2.0 speeds while the faster 3.0 speeds are reserved only for the
bigger 12.9 inch iPad.
But first, Do You Need An iPad Pro?
This article is quickly turning into a comparison between the Baby
Pro and it’s big brother. So before going any further, let’s take a step
back and decide, do you even need an iPad Pro? And if you do, what role
will it fulfill?
First, if you’re looking at the iPad Pro as a replacement for your
Mac, you’re mostly going to be disappointed. Not because it’s impossible
to get work done on the iPad (far from it), but because iOS just
doesn’t allow for the same flexibility as OS X. There’s no file system.
So you’ll have to fake one by using Dropbox or iCloud Drive. This also
makes transferring files between apps harder and computers. And
depending on what your work is, you just can’t get some dedicated Mac
and Windows apps on the iPad.
I for example, can’t get Sketch or Adobe’s upcoming XD app
on the iPad Pro. While I’d love to switch to the iPad Pro as my primary
computer (the Pencil for designing is really tempting), I just can’t,
because the software isn’t there.
But that doesn’t rule out everyone. If you’re lucky enough that your
work life depends on generic, barebone apps, you can certainly pull off
the iPad Pro lifestyle. If all you’re going to be doing is answering
email, doing research, writing, managing Excel spreadsheets or even some
light video editing and some niche professional drawing/illustration
work, the iPad Pro might be for you.
And its simplicities, in both the software and the hardware will free
your mind and help you focus on more important things – like working.
So Which iPad Pro Is For You?
Now that you’ve read the above features and you know the differences
between the 12.9 inch iPad Pro and the 9.7 inch version, you might be
wondering, should you go with the smaller one? And looking at the
features alone, it’s not an easy choice. So let’s look at it from the
use case perspective.
If you’re going to be using the iPad Pro as a laptop replacement –
your primary computer – I think you should go for the bigger iPad Pro.
The extra screen real estate is great for multi-tasking, the extra
performance will come in really handy as well.
If you’re going to use the iPad Pro more as a tablet, then you should
opt for the smaller iPad Pro compared to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, it is
not only more portable, it is significantly lighter (437 grams vs 713
grams 12.9-inch iPad Pro) which will make it a lot easier to hold for a
long time.
Instead, if you’re not sure if the iPad Pro is going to be your only
companion, and you just want to test the waters. Maybe try and shift
some of the work to the iPad, bit by bit, the Baby Pro is the best way
to do it. Pick the base model, the Pencil and Smart Keyboard if you can,
and give it a shot.
Twitch is a well known live streaming video platform that allows
anyone to set up their own channel and start streaming a game they are
playing. If you use the Twitch iOS app regularly to watch live streams,
you might have encountered some aspects of the app that annoy you. Twitch++ is a newly released jailbreak tweak
that enhances the Twitch app by bringing a range of new features and
getting rid of some limitations. With this tweak, you have the freedom
to play and pause a live stream whenever you want, watch multiple video
streams at once, get rid of all video ads as well as view the chat
window even when in landscape mode.
To get started, you’ll first have to download the tweak from Cydia. It can be found in the following repo: http://beta.unlimapps.com/. After you’ve added the new source, search for Twitch++ package and install it on your iPhone.
Once done, you can launch the Twitch app and start enjoying the new
features that the tweak provides. It also provides a settings pane which
can be accessed from within the Twitch app. Open the sidebar and tap on
the settings gear icon located in the top left corner. This opens the
tweak’s preferences pane where you can enable or disable the features
that it provides.
When watching a live stream, you’ll notice that there’s a new pause
button in the bottom left corner of the video that allows you to
play/pause the live stream whenever you want. You can also view live
streams in landscape mode while having a view of the chat window.
To watch multiple live streams at once, you’ll first have to open a
live stream. You can then tap on the button shown in the screenshot
below.
This causes the video to be detached into a separate floating window
which can be moved around freely. You can then switch to a different
live stream and detach that one as well using the same method.
Twitch++ is a solid tweak for adding new features to the official
Twitch app that you’ll find useful. If you’re interested to give it a
try, it is available as a free package on UnlimApps repo. Make sure to
let us know what you think about it in the comments section.
Leading into the weekend, some iCloud users are experiencing some downtime in services attached to Apple’s cloud platform.
Some users have begun voicing their dissatisfaction with the downtime on Twitter
and other areas, but, as it stands right now, Apple has not yet updated
its system status page to reflect any type of outage in any of its
services. For those affected, it seems to branch out into iMessage, as
well as those that use iCloud email as well.
It’s worth noting that the developer behind Fantastical, the popular
calendar app, Flexibits, tweeted out not too long ago that they’re aware
of the outage, warning users that they might see a “status code 400” as
a result.
Are you experiencing any kind of downtime?

Based on scattered reports, it looks like iTunes has reverted some
songs from their 90 second previews down to 30 seconds, a number that
hasn’t seen major play in iTunes since 2010.
Initially reported by MacRumors,
based on posts put up in the publication’s forums, it would appear that
some songs found in the iTunes library have been reverted to their
former preview glory. This is a case present both in the mobile version
of iTunes, as well as the desktop client. Albums that have songs longer
than 2 minutes and 30 seconds, like the artist Sia’s most recent
release, are all showing only 30 seconds previews.
Back in 2010, Apple began
a sweeping change to their preview lengths, hinging on the length of a
particular song. If the track is longer than two minutes and 30 seconds,
the preview was upgraded to 90 seconds. For tracks shorter than that,
they remained at their 30 second preview length. There wasn’t any word
that a change could be coming, so the shock to many users seems to be
deep, as tweets indicate plenty of upset feelings for the change.
Some are even reporting that songs that had 90 second previews just
hours before are now indicating only 30 second previews. Back in 2010,
Apple had initial issues with rolling out the longer previews based on
licensing deals, and it’s believed that this could have some connection,
but nothing is certain just yet. Interestingly enough, while many songs
are showing 30 second previews, there are still some tracks that have
the 90 second preview, like the ones available through Apple’s Top
Charts list.
Are you noticing the 30 second previews?

With a stronger focus on “cutting the cord,” and leaving all phone
calls to our wireless devices, a new report based on FCC data may lead
some to want to hold off.
According to a report from public
interest group Find Me 911, which was published on July 10, based on FCC
data the group ascertained through the Freedom of Information Act, 9
out of 10 emergency wireless calls based in Washington, D.C., in the
United States, lack accurate location information. The result is that
emergency workers have a harder time responding to emergencies. The data
was based on information gathered through the first half of 2013.
From the report:
“According to data filed with the FCC by the D.C.
Office of Unified Communications last fall, just 10.3% of the wireless
calls made to the District’s 9-1-1 communications center from December
2012 to July 2013 included the latitude-longitude (or “Phase II”
location) needed to find a caller. Of the 385,341 wireless calls made
over that period, just 39,805 had that “Phase II” information, while the
remaining “Phase I” calls only showed the nearest cell tower, an area
too broad to be useful for emergency responders.“
In the report, the data collected showed that both Verizon and Sprint
fared better than T-Mobile and AT&T. The pair of GSM carriers
managed to bring in about 3.2% and 2.6% accurate data, respectively.
Compare that to the average of about 24% from Verizon and Sprint.
Part of the problem cited in the report is the use of A-GPS, which
requires a direct view to the satellite reporting location. This can be
blocked or otherwise impeded by buildings.
You can check out the full report through the source link below.

The leaks continue for the iPhone 6,
as we inch ever closer to the expected September launch date. This time
around, a new photo gives us a real clear look at what the LCD
shielding for the iPhone 6 could look like, as well as the Home bracket
for good measure.
This new photo comes courtesy of Apple.club.tw, which believes this is indeed the 4.7-inch iPhone 6,
even though there’s not much information there to make that a
definitive statement. The size of the device is indicative of a larger
iPhone, that’s for sure, but nothing is confirmed in this report. It’s
just blurry enough that it could be the real deal, though. (Thanks, Mr.
Blurrycam!)
From what we can see here, the image shows us what the LCD shielding
would look like in its place between the display itself, and the rest of
the internal components. We can also see the metal bracket covering the
area where the supposed Home button would go.
As many times as we’ve seen the front panel, and even seen it get torture tested,
seeing what’s likely going to be behind it is a bit of a change of
pace. Though, we’ll probably see more pieces and leaks like this in the
weeks to come, considering we’ve still got some time in front of us
before Apple gets around to officially announcing the device.
Are you getting excited for the upcoming iPhone 6?

Considering the focus on the World Cup this year, it shouldn’t come
as a surprise that Nike would launch a new Football-focused application
into the iOS App Store. Nike Football brings the best parts of the game
to your iOS-based device, while also making sure you don’t miss out on
Nike products at the same time.
The new application, which is
called Nike Football in the rest of the world, and Nike Soccer in the
United States, is a way for football/soccer fans to stay connected to
the sport, whether it’s through Q&A sessions with players, or even
exclusive content that Nike brings to the fore. Of course, it shouldn’t
be a surprise that Nike is also making sure that you can catch up on all
of the latest Nike-branded football products the company launches.
Another benefit from the new application is the social function,
which allows you to not only plan and organize a pick-up match with
friends (and friends-of-friends), but you can also use the app to talk
trash to your mates.
Here’s the official description of the app:
“Nike Soccer is a free app that lets you play more
and stay connected to the products, athletes, and events that
revolutionize the game of soccer. This is the best of Nike Soccer in
your pocket.
Chat non-stop soccer with your crew using exclusive Nike Soccer emoji.
Easily rally your crew for a game of pick-up, set a time and location, and keep track of who’s in.
Be the first to know about new product launches and get closer to the pros with exclusive content and athlete Q&As.
Get access to exclusive trials for the Nike Academy. Never miss out.“
The mention of Nike Academy is certainly interesting, especially for
those who keep track of the trial events that take place. These events
are the only way for someone to get into the Nike Academy at the St.
George’s Park National Football Centre in the United Kingdom.
You can check out the app in action in the video below.
Apple’s iBeacon, which launched
at the end of 2013, set up a whole new way for iOS-based devices to
interact with locations around them. Major League Baseball was one of
the first to utilize the technology inside ballparks, and now they’re reportedly entering Phase Two.
A report from TechCrunch
states that Major League Baseball will enter Phase Two of their support
and usage of iBeacon with a new push for interactive attractions inside
their ballparks, starting with their All-Star Game at Target Field, in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. The result will be in-park attractions that use
the iBeacon technology to offer interactive features and additional
content to those who have the At the Ballpark application installed on
their device.
Within the ballpark, users will find nine different attractions that
will use the technology to expand the experience for fans, but you’ll
need to remember to have the At the Ballpark (which is available for
free through the App Sore source link at the bottom of the article)
installed on their device. Major League Baseball is also still working
on rolling out more iBeacons throughout their ballparks across the
United States.
The use of iBeacons is a growing trend for Apple, especially
in their own retail locations. Based on the usage developed by Major
League Baseball, it’s easy to see where other companies or
organizations, even museums, could use the functionality for exhibits
and attractions.
Have you used iBeacons yet? What did you think?

Apple has announced Assassin’s Creed Pirates
as its latest App of the Week, meaning that the exciting
action-adventure stealth game has gone free on the App Store for the
next seven days. Assassin’s Creed Pirates, based on the popular game
franchise, launched on the App Store in December and regularly costs
$4.99.
Become one of the most feared pirates of the Caribbean, playing
as a young and ambitious captain named Alonzo Batilla. Engage in brutal
naval combats, build up your crew and ship and discover a
groundbreaking world with treacherous fog that conceals your enemies
until the very last moment.
“Acquire the most iconic
boats of the Golden Age of Piracy; ranging from the smallest gunboat to
the Man O’War floating fortress. Upgrade your vessel using the massive bounty plundered from your encounters. Recruit
the finest crew members and learn more than 50 new pirating techniques
to become a better captain and the true master of naval combat.”
When you are not battling your enemies, explore the immensity of the
Caribbean by sailing through a vast array of islands on a search for
nearly one hundred treasures and lost parchments. Embark on an epic
quest to discover the truth about La Buse’s mysterious lost treasure and
more.
Assassin’s Creed Pirates is now free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
Launched earlier in 2014, Apple’s CarPlay has already seen a big adoption rate from auto manufacturers, with the list of partners still growing. That support will lead Apple into an almost ridiculous amount of vehicles by 2019, a new report suggests.
Based on a report from ABI
Research, which was released on July 9, Apple’s CarPlay will be heavily
adopted throughout the years to come, thanks in big part to the
company’s mobile device, the iPhone. With the popularity of the
company’s smartphone, auto manufacturers see the logic of adding CarPlay
to their preinstalled infotainment centers because of the “walled
garden” presented by Apple. The report points out that the closed
ecosystem brought to the table by Apple could mean that they are forced
to incorporate other researches, like Google’s Android Auto — of which some auto manufacturers are already planning to do.
However, that closed ecosystem is poised to work in favor for Apple,
because of the popularity of the iPhone. With so many (millions of)
people buying the iPhone, and so many more expected to pick up the
iPhone 6 later this year, manufacturers would be missing on that compatibility
with their cars and customer’s smartphones. The result? ABI Research
posits that Apple could see CarPlay installed in more than 24 million
calls by 2019.
From the report:
“Many believe Apple is creating further
fragmentations and a ripple effect in the industry by not being open.
However, love it or hate it, with Apple on the scene it certainly draws
greater attention to in-car apps and now with the Android Auto standard
on the scene both will certainly drive adoption of in-car apps.“
Do you like the idea of CarPlay?

For quite some time, Samsung played a big role for Apple in bringing
key components to market for the Cupertino-based company’s flagship
devices. Last year, that changed with a deal with chip manufacturing
company TSMC.
Last year, a report
broke that Apple had signed a deal with chip manufacturing company
TSMC, and therefore split ties in a big way with Samsung. The move was
seen as an inevitable one, considering the role that Samsung has played
in the mobile market over the last few years, moving into a position as a
key competitor to Apple’s smartphone race. In March, 2014, it was reported
that TSMC had begun production of Apple’s upcoming A8 processor, which
would reportedly see the light of day (so to speak) in the unannounced
iPhone 6 later in the year.
Now, it would seem that is all but confirmed, as The Wall Street Journal
has released a new report, suggesting that TSMC began shipping
processors to Apple in the second quarter of 2014. For TSMC, this is a
big win, as it means that more money for the company, as they’ve secured
the hardware orders from Apple for, reportedly, the foreseeable future.
For Apple, it is considered a win as it means no more reliance on only
Samsung for key internal pieces to iOS-based devices.
In 2015, it’s believed that Apple will turn to Samsung for the A9 processor, which could use a 14nm design.
Do you think it’s a good idea for Apple to break their sole reliance on Samsung for iOS-based device internal components?
