Apple halves some iPhone 5 component orders
Jan 14th 2013, 14:30

When Apple launched the iPhone 5 last September there was definitely a mixed response to the new handset. Yes, it had a larger display, embraced 4G, and was thinner, but it wasn’t revolutionary, just another evolution. And that seems to be causing Apple a few problems as the iPhone 5 isn’t selling anywhere near as [...]

Nexus 7 more popular than iPad in Japan
Jan 17th 2013, 18:44

The combination of being first to market with hardware, new models that entice a purchase, and an App Store full of software people want to buy, has made for a killer combination.
