Apple is expected to unveil its next iPhone at a special event on Sept. 10, sources told AllThingsD. The launch comes at an important time for Apple, which continues to make a lot of money from the iPhone but has seen its global market share dip amid a growing wave of lower-cost Android devices, as well as an intense battle with archrival Samsung. One of the key questions is whether Apple adopts a
There was a lot to talk about as Apple CEO Tim Cook made his second appearance on the D: All Things Digital stage. Cook declined many, many opportunities to talk about new products. But he did give his view on taxes (the current system should be gutted), talked a bit about about acquisitions (the pace is increasing and doing a big one isn’t off the table) and suggested wearable computing is a big

Andreessen and Mixpanel Call for an End to “Bullshit Metrics” Page views, registered users, app downloads. A hundred thousand of these, a million of those. These are the numbers and milestones tech companies brag about, both to press and investors.

Google plans to release its much-awaited iOS Maps app tonight, according to sources familiar with the matter. (Update: Here it is.) The app should be a welcome addition for many iPhone users, who have been unhappy with an Apple-made replacement.

Apple’s Monday afternoon management shake-up was a historic one, the largest the company has seen since the ouster of former CEO Gil Amelio in 1997. And while details of the ousters of Scott Forstall and John Browett — the guy who oversaw Apple’s iOS operating system and the new hire who ran its retail stores, respectively — are certainly intriguing, they’re a sideshow to the bigger story here: Th

Instagram Beats Twitter in Daily Mobile Users for the First Time, Data Says Pictures beat words: In August, U.S. smartphone owners visited Instagram from their smartphones more frequently and for longer periods of time than they visited Twitter. That data comes from comScore, via a new mobile measurement report: It says that throughout August, Instagram had an average of 7.3 million daily active u
As a signpost on the road to the so-called Post-PC Era we’ve been hearing about for so many years, this one is pretty hard to argue with: As of this year, personal computers no longer consume the majority of the world’s memory chip supply. And while it may not come as a terrible surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention to personal technology trends during the last few years, there’s nothing
Confirmed: New iPad Mini to Debut in October, After Latest Apple iPhone’s September Bow Apple’s next generation iPhone and its so-called “iPad mini” will debut at two separate events this fall, rather than a single one as has been widely speculated, according to several sources.

Since it first sued Samsung for patent infringement, Apple has derided the Korean company as a “copyist” whose Galaxy devices “slavishly” ape the original designs of the iPhone and iPad. “Samsung chose to copy Apple, not to innovate,” said Apple when it requested an injunction against the company’s Galaxy S 4G phone and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in July of 2011. “The message that Samsung conveys
Apple’s Case Against Samsung Gives Rare Glimpse at Dozens of iPhone and iPad Prototype Designs One of the fun side benefits of the Apple’s court case against Samsung is being given an inside peek at how the Cupertino, Calif.-based company develops its new products.

Here’s an iPad criticism you don’t often hear: The device is too feature-heavy. And that’s why the U.S. State Department is considering a $16.5 million no-bid contract with Amazon to purchase some 35,000 Kindle Touches and content over a period of five years. The Touches are for use in the State Department’s overseas language-education programs, and according to an agency Justification and Approva
Today I had my first in-person sit-down interview with Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman. Over the course of 30 minutes we talked about a lot of things, and quite frankly she had a lot to say. For one thing: Once the legal trial with Oracle is concluded, one way or the other, she’d like to see HP and Oracle work together again, even though she conceded that the damage done to HP’s Business Critical
