Here are the latest Apple rumors from the blogosphere:
“While Apple surprised with the announcement of a new fourth-generation iPad this week, the company may quickly update the product once again with a thinner and lighter model early next year, one insider believes.” — “AppleInsider” (www.appleinsider.com)
“The new Mac mini has reportedly reached performance levels comparable to the previous-generation Xserve and Mac Pro desktops released in 2010, according to benchmark tests posted by colocation service provider Macminicolo. The overall design has not substantially changed since the last Minis were introduced in 2011, however the combination of additional RAM and Intel’s Ivy Bridge processors brings a significant boost in performance.” — “MacNN” (www.macnn.com)
“With the iPad mini now joining the iPhone and iPad 2 in Apple’s sub-$400 product lineup, the company is expected to reduce its investment in the iPod touch going forward.” — “AppleInsider” (www.appleinsider.com)
“The US$329 price tag for Apple’s iPad mini is largely due to low yield rates for the device’s GF2 (DITO film) touch screen technology, according to industry sources.” — “Digitimes” (www.digitimes.com)
“Most of the screen orders for Apple’s new iPad mini, fourth-generation iPad, 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, and redesigned iMacs have reportedly gone to LG Display, not Samsung.” — “AppleInsider” (www.appleinsider.com)
