Customer satisfaction with iPhone has declined since last year
The American Customer Satisfaction Index scores for cell phones are in for 2013 and a new trend has taken place this year. Same as always and not totally surprising, Apple remains in the lead with the highest customer satisfaction rating thanks to the iPhone. However, the gap is tightening as competition like Samsung and Motorola have gained quite a few points at Apple’s expense. In 2012, Apple had the highest score out of any cell phone manufacturer with an 83. This year, still at the highest, it has actually dropped … Read more

Apple CEO Tim Cook to testify at Senate hearing on offshore taxes
Apple is the target of a Senate hearing investigating offshore tax practices with the company’s CEO readying to testify at the Senate Permanent Subcommittee. The iPhone maker has been under fire for its tax practices lately after avoiding to pay as much as $9.2 billion in taxes by performing some financial (though perfectly legal) mumbo-jumbo. The goal of the hearing is to examine how companies shift profits offshore and how that impacts the tax code. To that end, representatives from Microsoft and HP have already testified in September 2012. Apple … Read more

iOS 6 gets green light from the US Defense Department
Good news for Apple as the company’s iOS 6 software just received clearance from the United States Defense Department. This undoubtedly sets the stage for the iPhone and iPad to become standard commonplace in the hands of workers in the Pentagon. This comes to no ones surprise, considering how the approval of the DoD has been rumored for some time now. Apple’s iOS 6 joins Samsung running the Knox security suite and BlackBerry 10 devices. The government looks to be just about done with those obsolete BlackBerry 7 handsets that’s … Read more

Cops to Apple: Help! We Can’t Decrypt iPhones!
Sometimes, even the cops need a helping hand. According to reports from CNET, law enforcement officials across the country are having a hard time extracting data from iPhones that have been seized as evidence in investigations. Apple has been receiving requests from law enforcement officials to decrypt iPhones, and the list is long. Like seven weeks long. Even the ATF is having trouble, with CNET’s report saying that an ATF agent spent three months last summer trying to find a local, state or federal law enforcement agency with the skills … Read more

New iOS 7 concept depicts ‘flatter’ UI design similar to Windows Phone
The folks at SimplyZesty, which is self-described as a “full service digital agency,” have designed a rather nice new iOS 7 concept. It seems overall very polished and does have some credibility to it. They based the concept off of the report that the redesign of iOS 7 would have a new, “flatter” looking user interface somewhat similar to Windows Phone. The concept redesigns pretty much every app, including the icons. The Music app in particular stands out to me because it looks like something you could definitely see on … Read more

Pegatron announced its quarterly earnings yesterday and held an investors conference to discuss its results.

Bloomberg’s Tim Culpan quotes the Pegatron CEO as saying “A decline in revenue from the iPad Mini ‘is more on demand, while price has been stable.” Cheng, however, says he made the second half of that that statement, but did not … Read more
