Safari 4 faster, more stable on Snow Leopard than 10.5.x

Although the upcoming 10.5.8 Update will address at least some of these issues, many readers have been reporting a wide range of problems and crashes with Safari 4.0 and 4.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.5. Interestingly, despite being incomplete and in need of further debugging itself, OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" has proven considerably better on both the performance and stability fronts with Safari 4.0.

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.

WWDC Preview Part 1: 2009 iPhones

This first in a series of previews of what we and the rumor-mill at large are expecting from next week's Apple World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) focuses on the 2009 iPhones: yes, iPhones, multiple.

Other iDevices may wait, 2009 iPhone will be announced at WWDC

There has been some debate in recent days as to whether all four (or more!) 2009 iDevices which have been hinted at with multiple references in the code of iPhone OS 3.0 as well as countless published rumor-mongering reports and our own conversations with sources, will actually be announced -- no less ship -- at the World Wide Developer Conference next month.There is plenty of room for debate on the larger question, but when it comes to at least two distinct 2009 iPhone models ($99 8GB entry-level and $199/$299 16/32GB high-end models?), Rumors is very confident that we'll be seeing them during the keynote address on June 8th.

iPod Touch, other 2009 iDevices to include video camera?

Although predictions of timing (such as whether any new hardware at all will be announced, no less released, at WWDC next month -- or perhaps only the new iPhones and/or all-new iDevices such as the "iTablet" will ship then, leaving an updated iPod Touch release to wait until later in the summer) and features have begun to diverge wildly across the grapevine, one thing appears increasingly likely based on published speculation and our own source reports: the 2009 iDevice family could feature cameras with at least 3.2 megapixel photo resolution and up to 720P HD video across the entire lineup.

Multitasking for 3rd-Party Apps?

One of the hottest topics on the grapevine this weekend has been an emerging rumor based on multiple leaks (including more than one of our own sources) regarding the ability of 3rd-party apps being able to run in the background -- rather than just displaying "background notifications" as announced for iPhone OS 3.0 this summer on all supported iDevices. New reports from our sources have shed much more light on this and how it relates to the evolution of iDevice hardware.

Apple reportedly in talks with Verizon, Sprint over 2010 iPhones & 4G

Although short on details, several published reports appear to confirm what Rumors has been reporting for some time now: that Apple and Verizon, who originally rejected a partnership with Infinite Loop on the original iPhone in what is widely considered one of the cellular provider's biggest mistakes of all time, are in talks to deliver fourth-generation (2010) iDevices for Verizon's customers. Although not mentioned elsewhere, Rumors' sources also report that this could have implications for an Apple-Sprint relationship, as well.

Impressive Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard” build 10A335 seeded

Without listing specific changes (partly because many elements of the full Snow Leopard aren't included in developer seeds to date) other than a handful of bug fixes, Apple seeded Mac OS X 10.6 build 10A335 to developers this past week....we have been quite impressed with what we've seen & heard so far.

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.

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.

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?
