Latest Apple Store Stories

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online There are only a few weeks left in 2012, the year many analysts said we’d see an Apple Television for sale in shops. Clearly an actual Apple television set, or “iTV” as many unimaginatively call it, is not available for purchase. The rumors about such a device were running head to head with other rumors about a smaller iPad earlier in the year. As we now know, the iPad mini became a real thing while rumors about the Apple...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online It’s the kind of news story Apple (or any company) had been hoping to avoid. iOS 6, Apple’s mobile operating system, shipped with a new Maps application which used Apple’s own blend of cartographic data. Within hours of its public release, users all over the world began to criticize these maps as faulty and inaccurate. Apple has since been making very transparent moves to improve the maps, including firing the executive and...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online It was enough to make you wonder if he was being serious or not. Of course, this was Steve Jobs, a man not often prone to making jokes. In June 2011, in the midst of Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs stopped by a Cupertino City Council meeting to share his plans for a brand new Apple campus that very closely resembled a spaceship. This design met with the typical, easy jokes about Jobs...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online After many months of rumor and speculation, Apple announced their new, smaller iPad mini a little less than 2 weeks ago. Since it’s unveiling (and the unveiling of new Mac hardware as well as a brand new, 4th generation proper iPad), many had begun to debate the price point of the mini. Before its release, many had predicted the new, smaller iPad would ship somewhere in the $249 to $299 price range. Even before the release of...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Apple’s not a company who likes to admit defeat or fault, and only does so in the most extreme of circumstances: For instance, when their new maps service turned into the Internet Joke du jour or when their hometown threatened to stop buying their computers. So, when a British court upheld a ruling which forced Apple into publicly admitting defeat in a case of patent infringement between themselves and Samsung, they did so...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Apple’s latest “little” press event was not without its surprises. The new iMacs caught many by surprise, as did a newly revised iPad, just 7 months after the 3rd generation was announced. Yet, for all the surprises held within Apple’s last event of the year, there was one rather peculiar element: The entire event was hosted by Tim Cook and Phil Schiller, with nary a mention to Scott Forstall. For anyone who’s seen any...
