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?

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.

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)?

Reader Q&A: What are Apple prototypes like?
From time to time, we select a few reader questions to answer as best we can, and today's comes from Kyle: "On your site, you often mention prototypes of Apple devices. I'm kind of curious how Apple works their prototype process. What do the prototype devices look like in the semi-finished state? Do they look like pieces of hardware slapped together by a sloppy DIYer or like the polished devices that we know Apple is famous for?"Read on for the answer

What’s next for iPhone & other iDevices?
While we continue to wait for the next two major 2009 iDevice roll-outs -- an iPod Touch "S" with specs similar to the iPhone 3GS and an entirely new large-screen device often referred to as "iTablet" -- rumor and speculation about 2010 iDevices has already begun to ramp up with a vengeance. One of the rumors with the greatest backing evidence is that of 1080P HD video recording capabilities, followed closely by new, slightly larger iPhone/iPod Touch displays with higher resolutions.

Steve Jobs sighted at the Moscone Center?!

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.

Mac OS X 10.5.7 build 9J56 seeded to developers with Bluetooth 3.0
Despite the previous build of Mac OS X 10.5.7 code-name "Juno" appearing nearly ready for release within days (it's now been over a week), Apple has delivered a new seed -- build 9J56 -- to developers, and it looks like a little bit of work still remains before we'll see 10.5.7 in Software Update. Changelog from Apple's seed notes follows after the jump.

Supplier orders already in for over four million new 2009 iPhones?!
A recent China Commercial Times report on Apple's next generation iPhones includes the suggestion that an order is already in for more than four million units(!). But how does this report fit into the overall picture of the 2009 iDevices -- and what do experienced rumor-mongers say about the other details in the CCT article?
