iPhone 6 Mockups

  • Will the iPhone 6 Have a Bezel-Free Screen?
    Yeah! Boo! Down with bezels! What have bezels ever done for us?! Now I'm glaring with contempt at my disgusting be-bezeled phone. Makes me sick. [Mac Rumors]

Apple Touch ID
  • Is Apple Using the Same Manufacturer to Make the Touch ID Components for the iPhone as They Did for the iPhone 5s ?
    Good news for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. fans, bad news for people who, I dunno, care about this sort of thing? [Apple Insider]

    Like the Cowbird, the Android lays its apps in other OS' nests... [The Verge]

Captain Sackhoff

The reason Apple has been producing the iPad 2 for so long isn't to give consumers a lower-priced option; it's to serve the business market. Businesses want hardware that's available for a relatively long time so they can simply replace hardware that kicks the bucket rather than have to go through the hassle of modifying the rest of their IT environment to accommodate a newer (i.e., different) machine.
