There's quick, and then there's iFixit. Their Australian bretheren already have the new iPad, because well, they live in the future. This hemispherical advantage means the teardown of the new iPad is already underway.

So far iFixit's website is being blasted by traffic and periodically goes down. Just refresh until the page reappears if you're watching the live teardown. So far the only real information posted is confirmation of the new display connector and that the new retina display ...

Morgan Stanley’s Katy Huberty put out a new note to clients with three new price targets for Apple’s stock. According to her analysis of the market and Apple, the bull case price is now $960, the base case is now $720, and the bear case is $405.

Not surprisingly, the $720 base case was Huberty’s previous bull case. This has long-since changed due to the constant record-breaking ...

The first reviews of the new iPad are in, and the likes of Walt Mossberg (All Things D) and company seem to be impressed.

The Display: Everyone Loves It

Mossberg called the new display, and LTE upgrades “massive,” and that the display was the “most spectacular he’d ever seen on a mobile device." However, the glossy LCD (like all glossy LCDs) still causes problems for users trying to read in direct sunlight.

David Pogue of the New York Times piled on the praise as well calling the new display “jay-droppingly ...

FaceTime, Apple’s very own video chatting solution for their iDevice and Mac owners, is available on the new iPad. Just like all the rest of Apple’s devices, unfortunately, we won’t be able to use it over the cellular networks like 4G LTE, which the iPad has just started to support. Like all of Apple's other devices, the new iPad will require you to be connected to a Wi-Fi network to send out or to receive ...

The release of new iPad a day and some hours away, and Apple’s pre-orders have sold out. Still, many are looking to upgrade, and for those wary of eBay, and Craigslist, Apple and few others are willing to give you money for your old-busted (still capable) iPad 2.

Apple’s own “Reuse and Recycling Program” will shell-out up to $320 for your old nearly mint conditioned 64GB 3G iPad 2. Prices go down steadily from their though. Also, Apple’s money comes in the ...

Samsung seems to have been setback in the Netherlands recently where a court sided with Apple on a FRAND patent dispute that was characterized as both “important” and “highly meaningful.”

According to Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents, Samsung can’t pursue injunctive relief as long as Apple is willing to negotiate a license agreement under FRAND terms for wireless patents due to the decisions from the District ...

In the beginning of the month, we showed you an awesome new jailbreak tweak dubbed Aloud by iOS developer Ori Kadosh, which would announce your notifications as you receive them. It came with extensive settings for controlling the applications that would be announced, when notifications would be read out loud, and much more. The whole review covering all of its features we wrote on it can be read here.

There is substantial talk this week of Apple possibly discontinuing the MacBook Pro later this spring as speculation about a new - and larger - 15-inch MacBook Air reaches a fever pitch.

This week, a source close to Mac accessory production leaked information at the CU Exposed show. He maintains that Apple is poised to introduce its refreshed MacBook Air in April. The unnamed source went on to say ...

Let's take a look at some headphones today. Sunnyvale, CA based Moshi, an iAccessory maker, has recently started getting into audio products, and asked us to take a look and give our thoughts. We're starting with their Vortex headphones.

The first thing you notice with the Vortex phones is the packaging. A thick box with Apple-esque design has a window which shows the earbuds, and Moshi's explanation of their product. Once opened up, the box is instantly presenting the earbuds, holder, and additional sizes of ear tips. There are 3 types of ear tips in addition to the ones on the earbuds ...

As MMi reported late last year, Apple's interest in Anobit, a flash memory company based in Israel, hinted at a large investment of cash, resources, and talent by Apple in the Middle East. And today, we're learning even more about this ongoing development.

A newspaper out of the Middle East says that Anobit, which was acquired by Apple in late 2011, is hiring at a rampant pace. And that's good for ...
