Rumor: The iPhone nano is going to happen this year, seriously
For as long as we can remember, there have been rumors circulating around the internets that Apple was going to build a low cost iPhone for cost sensitive consumers. Later we found out that Apple’s strategy to reach more users was to simply keep on selling the older models, but at a significant discount. Take the iPhone 3GS for example. When it launched in the summer of 2009 it cost $599 if you were buying it unlocked. Now it can be yours for around $380 straight from Apple’s website. But … Read more

Apple tells Australian carriers their networks and its iPad both meet 4G standards
Apple stands accused of mislabeling their shiny new iPad WiFi + 4G in Australia. The consumer watchdog group Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has taken Apple to court in Melbourne, where the case is expected to be tried sometime in May. The ACCC’s argument is that Apple’s new iPad is not compatible with any of Australia’s LTE networks, and that the 4G moniker is confusing customers. For its part, Apple has put up signage in all Apple retail outlets in the country, and has contacted all individuals who have purchased an iPad … Read more

iPhone 4S sales to decline until the next iPhone arrives
Surprise … surprise it looks like sales of the iPhone will continue to decline until the next-generation model hits the market. This estimate comes from Mike Walkley of Canaccord Genuity after he gave Apple stock a price target of $740, at a ‘Buy’ rating.

This concept has appeared at a Walmart store in Arkansas, just 20 minutes from the giant merchandiser’s home office. The new look could expand to Sam’s Club as well. Design wise, the displays feature tall, double-sided, backlit graphics, a clean-looking wood table, live display products and under-table accessory storage with security glass. If you look at the picture above, you can clearly see that Walmart has sparingly given Apple products its own island separated from the rest of … Read more

Australian consumer watchdog group wants Apple to change the name of the iPad
O iPad WiFi + 4G, iPad WiFi + 4G, wherefore art thou iPad WiFi + 4G? As you might recall, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is up in arms about the name of the iPad, specifically that pesky 4G moniker. Apple’s 3rd-generation iPad does indeed have a 4G LTE chip built into the cellular-capable variants, yet it is not compatible with any 4G networks in Australia. This has led the ACCC to charge Apple with misleading Australian customers by making them think they’re buying a tablet that can … Read more
