Reuters rescind Phil Schiller's cheap iPhone "denial-non-denial" report in which Phil said cheap iPhone never "focus" of Apple...sorting out the semantics, is this confirmation that one in the cards?
Cast your vote in "Today's Poll..." in the left column below or go straight to the results here.
Weekend Highlights: FOSS Patents reports that Samsung vehemently opposes Apple's request for a re-hearing of the U.S. Nexus decision; Reuters reports that Apple won't blindly pursue market share, refining their position on the report from the Shanghai Evening News; Apple's rumored cheap iPhone was said to be denied by Phil Schiller, but Reuters has since pulled the report sending a mist of intrigue throughout the blogosphere, but what Phil stated is that cheap phones "will never be the future of Apple's products"; others say Apple already has a cheap iPhone in the iPhone 4; reports and opinions aplenty in our Apple/Macintosh, and Op/Ed sections; meanwhile in China, Tim Cook quoted saying China will likely overtake the United States as their biggest market; and Cook discussed with China Mobile chairman "bilateral cooperation" but didn't reveal much else due to confidentiality agreement between the two companies; report says Apple plans to open more than 25 stores in China; Kodak's patents approved for sale to Apple, Google alliance; Microsoft's Surface RT has been jailbroken to run OS X; Macworld feature shows how photographers can use their DSLR with FCPX; Don Melton posts another bit of history behind Safari's development and subsequent release; Apple scores Emmy for streaming engineering technology; Apple brings another Xerox "product" on board, this one is human, named Luca Maestri, who will become the corporate controller reporting to Peter Oppenheimer; Jimmy Iovine, CEO of Beats, said to have spent years selling music subscription service to Steve Jobs; AppleInsider reports that DoCoMo hoping to land iPhones as Japanese competitors gain steam; another batch of rumors that iPad mini 2 with Retina, and iPad 5 to debut this March; iOS 6.1 is being readied for developers; will Apple be doomed again?; looks like Samsung isn't finished copying Apple art, see here the similarity in these icons.
