Apple buys second ARM chip design firm, Intrinsity
Two years ago, Apple acquired a major developer of ARM processors/system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs, PA Semiconductor. This led directly to the production of Apple's first 100% in-house CPU, the A4 which is at the heart of iPad. Now, it appears that Infinite Loop has made another acquisition to bolster its ARM chip development efforts: Intrinsity, formerly a close partner of major ARM manufacturer Samsung. What does this mean for the future of Apple's iDevice hardware?

January 27th Apple Event Preview part 3: New “Tablet OS” and iPhone OS
After the "Tablet" itself, one of the most anticipated announcements at today's Apple Event is that of a new operating system -- often called iPhone OS 4.0 by rumormongers, but we've heard other names for it -- that would power the Tablet and be accompanied by a simpler variant for hand-held iDevices offering parallel new features. Here's a summary of what we hope to see from Apple's new system software.
It wouldn’t be January without….
....a little fireworks, Cupertino style.

September 9th Apple Event preview
As we prepare for Rumors' Live Coverage of tomorrow's "music-centric" Apple Event beginning just before 10AM PT/1PM ET, our backlog of summer dirt reported by the usual suspects has revealed some unique insights into what we might see there. The technical and logistical foundations are there for fulfilling virtually every single significant rumor attached to the Event; the big question is, will other factors see some of the big ones -- such as a Macbook Touch/iTablet -- pushed back? Read on for the details....

Will the ‘iTablet’ run iPhone OS or Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard?
As "iTablet" (Macbook Touch? iPhone Cinema?) rumors have reached a fever pitch in recent days thanks to several disclosures and leaks by third parties privy to late-stage prototypes of the device, speculation has mounted as to which variant of OS X it will run -- will it be an iPhone (ARM CPU, iPhone OS) or a Mac (Intel processor, OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard)?

WWDC Preview Part 3: iPod Touch, Other iDevices, One More Thing?
With time before today's WWDC Keynote growing short and breaking rumors of Steve Jobs' presence at the Moscone Center sending the grapevine into a frenzy, let's take a quick look at some of the less certain, but no less exciting, possibilities that we might see emerge into the light of day this morning (PDT)/afternoon (EDT) in San Francisco: new iPod Touch model(s), other iDevices ("iTablet"?!), and the ever-present potential for a completely unanticipated "One More Thing" -- potential that has just received a huge injection of probability if the Steve Jobs sightings at Moscone are what they appear to be.

WWDC 2009 Preview Part 2: iPhone OS 3.0 & Snow Leopard
With the WWDC 2009 Keynote event nearly upon us, let's taking a quick look at what we can expect from Apple's next-generation operating systems: iPhone OS 3.0 and Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard". Although we've known for some time now that we'll only see a 'Final Beta' of Snow Leopard this week, expectations for iPhone OS are somewhat less certain. In both cases, we anticipate a few surprises....the real question is how big they'll be.

Apple announces $1.33/share Q2 profit, shatters Wall Street estimates
The grapevine widely predicted that Apple, Inc. (AAPL)'s second quarter financials would "beat the Street" -- but even some of the more optimistic predictors, Rumors included, were hesitant to suggest numbers quite as enthusiastic as they believed were possible. We need not have been so conservative; sales in every area were ahead of expectations and even insiders (more than a few) have been pleasantly surprised by the performance of Mac and non-Touch iPod sales as these sectors weather a near-perfect storm in the marketplace.
