Is Apple Attempts To Block Google Maps App For Entering iOS App Store?

(GSM Insider) - When the announcement of iOS 6, we saw that Apple decided to remove some of the Google apps from its own operating system. This was one of the many changes that introduced by Apple CEO Tim Cook after the death of the late Steve Jobs.


After the removal of Google Maps from the iOS, Apple attempts to offer its own native maps app to the users. But this is nothing more than just a disappointment as there are too much mistakes found on the Apple maps that developed by TomTom. This clearly showed that Apple still far from developing own maps. Google still the king of maps and navigation. 

Recently, Google introduced its YouTube app for iOS in the App Store. It is a standalone app which is not preloaded in the iOS 6. After the YouTube app, there are rumours stated that Google preparing the Google Maps app for the iOS 6. This is certainly a good news for those relying on Google Maps on iDevices for years. However, we are not sure whether this is a good news or bad news.

According to the Google employee, he remains pessimistic on the Google Maps app for iOS. He believed that the Google Maps unlikely to get approval. This shows that Apple is not fair enough. Apple definitely unwilling to allow the competitors to enter the App Store. With such decision, some iDevice users might go for Android devices if they relying heavily on the Google Maps.

Apple Continues To Dominate The Tablet Market Despite Huge Dropped of Market Share

(GSM Insider) - It has been long enough for Apple to dominate the worldwide tablet with the iPad. There are four iPads up to date. These fourth different iPads are the key tool for Apple to dominate the worldwide tablet market. 


According to the latest report releases by IDC, Apple still dominate the tablet market. But the market share dropped significantly. The market share dropped from 65.5 to 50.4%. With the 50.4%, Apple iPads still account for  half the amount of 27.8 million units of tablet shipments. 

After Apple, Samsung shipped 5 million units of tablets, followed by Amazon and the partnership of Google and Asus. Amazon's Kindle shipped 2.5 million units as the same goes to the Nexus 7 as well. 

Seems like Apple on the declining in the tablet market. It is important for Tim Cook to sort out perfect strategy for the upcoming tablet from Apple. It seriously needs innovation and creativity to bring iPad competitive again.

The Display of iPad 4 Manufactured by LG Display Instead of Samsung

(GSM Insider) - iPad Mini and iPad 4 were announced at the same Apple special event last month. But the inner parts and components are not the same for sure. The display of iPad Mini and iPad 4 are from different manufacturers.


Yesterday, we reported that the latest tear down of iPad Mini revealed that the display and processor still manufactured by Samsung.

This is the first of many steps that Apple set to move away from relying on Samsung for its components and parts. The tear down also revealed that the NAND Flash in iPad 4 was manufactured by Hynix as Apple no longer ordered NAND Flash from Samsung.

The Display and Processor of iPad Mini Still Manufactured by Samsung

(GSM Insider) - There are much rumours stated that Apple set to abandon Samsung after recent involvement in the lawsuit between both companies. However, this seems like not the case at the moment as Apple still rely on Samsung on the hardware of its smaller iPad.


From the latest disassembled of iPad Mini, the display and the A5 processor were manufactured by Samsung. Seems like Apple still relying heavily on Samsung for the display and processor production. Whether Apple set to abandon Samsung completely and swift to LG display or Sharp for the display, it remains unknown. 

According to many analysts, Apple trying to cut down the tie with Samsung to show that they can survive without Samsung. Recently, Apple decided to search for multiple manufacturers to produce the chips and components for its devices. For example, the NAND memory chip in iPhone 5 currently manufactured by SK Hynix and ELPIDA instead of Samsung. Apple also set to abandon Samsung in the production of Apple processor and opted for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.

iPad Mini Comes With Stereo Speaker, The First Among iDevices

(GSM Insider) - When iPad Mini releases, there are many doubts on whether it has stereo speaker or just a mono speaker. The answer is clears now as the smaller size iPad comes with stereo speaker.


According to Josh Topolsky, he found out that there are two small speakers at the bottom of iPad Mini instead of just one. The small speakers are two close together so it is very difficult to listen out the stereo sound. If you try out to compare the mono and stereo mode of the speakers, the different still noticeable. Apple iPad Mini is the first iDevice to have stereo speakers. Perhaps Apple will start to put stereo speakers inside iPhone and normal iPad very soon. You can try out yourself once you get the iPad Mini. Two are always better then one. right?
