A glimpse inside Foxconn's iPhone plant

A glimpse inside Foxconn's iPhone plant
The 4-minute video report from Chinese news site iFeng is in Chinese without subtitles and offers little in the way of details about iPhone production or even working conditions. But it does give you a good sense of the facility's scale and it's exciting to see iPhones in the making.

In the video, an iFeng reporter is taken on a tour of the production line by Foxconn CEO Terry Gou. They start off on a helicopter ride that shows off the factory's size from a bird's-eye view. The 5.6-square-kilometer plant (about 3.5 square miles) more

Sans cool iPad-like device, HP not catching Apple anytime soon

Sans cool iPad-like device, HP not catching Apple anytime soon

Why is the largest computer company in the world not competing with Apple in the hottest device category?

The easy answer is that Hewlett-Packard shuttered its WebOS tablet business last summer.

The uneasy answer is that here we are in the summer of 2012 and HP, after announcing massive layoffs this week, has nothing to offer. (Sorry, the Windows 7 HP Slate doesn't count.)

And the outlook for HP doesn't necessarily improve when you think that it is putting all of its tablet eggs in Windows 8 and Windows RT devices.

Both of those categories are still unknown more

Best iPad 3 cases and covers

Best iPad 3 cases and covers

The new iPad -- or the iPad 3, as I incorrectly like to call it -- has been out for a while, but the new cases keep on coming.

If you've already seen an older version of this list, I apologize, but the good news is that it's been updated.

As most people know, Apple barely changed the design of the third-generation iPad and a lot of existing iPad 2 cases fit the iPad 3. While a few of those iPad 2 models are represented in this round of top cases and covers, I did my best to include plenty of new models, as many accessory makers have refreshed their lines in the last few months.

The high-tech thermostat created by one of the founding members of the iPod team will soon be sold in Apple's retail stores, according to a new report.

Apple TV slated to debut in December?

Apple TV slated to debut in December?

Apple could unveil its highly anticipated take on the television in December and ship it next year, according to a research note today from Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster.

Munster said he expects the Apple TV product line to cost between $1,500 and $2,000 and range in size from 42 to 55 inches. That's a considerable premium over typical televisions of that size, which have a range closer to $700 to $1,400.

The iPhone 5, which Munster said he believes will make its debut in October, will be the biggest consumer product launch this year and more

Baidu integration in iOS still in the works?

When China-based users search the Web, they currently don't have the option to automatically choose Baidu. But that may eventually change, according to a report out of the country.

China's Sina Tech Web site has reported, citing sources, that Apple will be integrating Baidu search into its iOS platform. The publication didn't say exactly when the integration will be coming, but if it eventually happens, it could be a blow to Google, which is currently the default search engine on Chinese iPhones. [Editors' note: After posting this story, we discovered that the reports from today are linking more

Apple's App Store gets new Editors' Choice picks

Apple has silently added a new feature to its App Store: Editors' Choice.

When users boot up the Mac App Store or App Store, they'll find a new promotional feature, called Editors' Choice. On the Mac App Store side, Apple says that for its "inaugural pick," it chose CoBook, an address book application that supplements usability by accessing social networks. In addition, the company chose Deus Ex Human Revolution as another Editors' Choice worth checking out.

Not to be outdone, Apple unveiled some Editors' Choice options for App Store users, as well. Among the picks was the Facebook Camera application more

Mac Pro petition gaining steam on Facebook

Mac Pro petition gaining steam on Facebook

Although a flurry of Apple products hit store shelves each year, the company's enthusiast-focused Mac Pro has been looking awfully old as of late. A new petition on Facebook is asking Apple for some insight into its next move with the computer.

The petition, called "We Want A New Mac Pro," launched on Facebook on May 8. Since then, the movement has secured about 6,300 likes. Late Thursday, according to AppleInsider, which first to report on the petition, it had about 4,000 likes.

"Hello Apple. Remember me? I'm one of your loyal users," the petition's more

TSA wants to buy $3 million worth of Macs and iDevices

TSA wants to buy $3 million worth of Macs and iDevices
The Transportation Security administration wants to spend up to $3 million on 1,000 Apple computers and 1,000 Apple handheld devices over the next three years to support its counter-terriorsim efforts.

The agency filed contract documents (see below), as noted by Nextgov, to explain why it would only pursue contracts with Apple instead of inviting other manufactures to bid. The devices would be used to boost a "widening secure mobile computing pilot" program specifically calling for the use of iOS, the Apple operating system.

The document describes several uses for the products -- which also includes AppleTV, iPads, and more

Tim Cook opts out of $75M worth of company dividends

Tim Cook opts out of $75M worth of company dividends

Tim Cook has twice been placed atop the list of highest-paid CEOs in recent weeks, and a new legal filing suggests he's not particularly greedy for more.

In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today, Apple notes that Cook will not be taking the dividend equivalents on his restricted units, a detail of considerable importance given the grant of 1 million restricted stock units last year.

"At Mr. Cook's request, none of his restricted stock units will participate in dividend equivalents," the company said in the filing, which was flagged by MacRumors. "Assuming a more
