Ming-Chi Kuo has been right in the past on his predictions several times, so when he tells us a new 4-inch iPhone is coming, we should believe him. The move is pretty smart for Apple, that will solve several problems at the same time: There will be a solid iPhone 5s refresh: according to his …

Owners say that TSMC A9 SoC delivers two hours more battery life than Samsung’s A9. Problems coming for Apple. This doesn’t make much sense: TSMC chips are made with 16nm vs Samsung’s 14nm. That would benefit the latter in efficiency and raw power but the tests show exaclty the opposite. I wonder if this is …
Two reasons why Apple can talk about a new record: The new iPhones were available in China from day one Two weeks for preorders this year instead of the classical one week.

Few updates on the Apple Watch: the discourse was 50% about apps and 50% about straps. The money is currently on the latter (that’s pretty clear from that time devoted to design …
