    We don’t yet know when the Apple Watch will launch but according to a report from 9to5Mac chip suppliers are gearing up for the start of production. Production is predicted to be between 30 to 40 million units. The report comes via DigiTimes and as we know that can make it very much a don’t go betting your house on it rumour.

    Whilst ramping up the rumours on the Apple Watch 9to5Mac are suggesting that the so called iPad Pro may slip back to Q2 2015. This is based on the latest report from KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. With that delay Kuo is predicting that Apple will sell around 10 million iPads in Q1, ...

    You might want to file this under the “why would bother but my inner geek applauds you”. What am I talking about? The news from Cult of Mac is that a Chinese programmer has managed to install Windows 95 on an iPhone 6. The picture is the one he posted to prove he achieved this feat. Yes that is impressive but I really struggle to see what you do from there.

    Yesterday we had the latest drone video of the Apple Campus being built. The City of Cupertino has now posted the image above to show the progress at the site. According to the project plan construction should wind up in Q4 2016.

    A lot of people have expressed opinions about when and if Apple should have made their larger screen iPhones. One person to date who hasn’t offered an opinion has been Steve Wozniak. 9to5Mac tell us that Apple co-founder spoke at a recent CNN interview at the Capital One new Innovation Center in Plano Texas. In his view Apple should have made the bigger screen iPhone ...

    When we reported Apples latest quarter financial results for Q4 update, we called out the impressive Mac sales numbers. They have now been backed in the latest data from IDC showing the Mac as holding 13% of the US PC market and now holding third place overall. That 13% is Apples highest ever market share. HP top the table with 28% and Dell is close behind on 24%.

    You would have to have been living under a rock to avoid the news that a new OS X and iOS malware called WireLurker has been discovered. Whilst currently it seems limited to China, the malware is clearly targeted at Apple devices. The New York Times notes that whilst it is easily avoided, you have to download the apps from outside the App store as a start, the researchers from Palo Alto ...

    We haven’t had a really good rumour for a little while now. So lets kick off with reports out of China that Apple is working on a glass free 3D display for the iPhone that Macrumors is reporting. The report suggest that the ‘naked 3D’ would require a change to the current touch interface Apple uses and has since the iPhone 5. Really hard to rate this one but just seems to be one source so I am fileing it in the doubtful file.

    While we are hanging ...

    We kick off the news week with a look at another Jony Ive interview, this time at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. 9to5Mac report Ive described designing the Apple Watch as more difficult than the iPhone because of the historical precedence of wrist-worn timepieces. He also told the crowd it would have an alarm clock that will wake up the wearer similar to the Fitbit.

    Forgive me father for I have sinned. I’m a Mac fan and I’ve been using the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 for the last couple of days and I intend doing so for at least at 2 weeks as well. It was never my intention to worship false idols, but it was shiny, metal and almost looked like a Mac.



    It’s probably difficult for some Mac fans to understand why I would endure this type of “torture” but sometimes it’s good to look around. This is also as a result of my disillusionment with the current iPad release which I don’t believe meets my criteria. I’ve always wanted stylus use on the iPad and Apple’s failure to deliver is disappointing and has resulted in secoacnd rate experiences with third party styluses. Whilst what I really wanted is an iPad with decent stylus integration, the tablet alternatives are also disappointing. My tests with the Samsung’s Galaxy Note showed a delay on writing and I’ve never been a big fan of Samsung’s copytition business approach. Aside from Samsung, there aren’t many pure tablets that offer ...

    For me, I tend to use a tray, or have the keyboard stowed away ready for travel, it's not exposed to natural/artificial light quite enough, I haven't
