• It is possible that Apple is somewhere lucky, but certainly not in South America. First, it became known that the iPhone brand in Brazil does not belong to Apple, but to the seller of outdated Android smartphones, and now iFone also sued Apple for a consonant brand name, and the fact of similar sounding, by the way, was acknowledged by the Cupertins themselves.
• The mayor of New York decided to blame such "apple" products as the iPhone and iPad that they allegedly contribute to an increase in the number of crimes. According to him, robbers prefer only Apple equipment, not paying attention to products from other manufacturers.
• Another failure Apple: in China, the court imposed a fine in favor of writers from a company from Cupertino. The company Apple, vigilantly guarding their patents, was caught violating the copyright of several Chinese writers.
• It is rumored that the American giant Apple, together with Intel, began work on the iWatch. We are talking about watches that can communicate with other devices of the same brand via Bluetooth, and download information from them of a certain order. The gadget is planned to be equipped with a 1.5-inch display class PMOLED.
• Cooperation between Apple and Sharp, it turns out, is still possible. Apple and Sharp continue to negotiate the delivery of IGZO class displays for future products from a leading gadget maker.
• Apple continues to distance itself from its rival partner Samsung. First, Apple abandoned batteries, then batteries, then displays, and now we are talking about processors.
• iPad 5 will appear this spring. This is reported by the Japanese blog Macotakara, citing its trusted sources. This Japanese blog has often been able not to be mistaken in their predictions, let's see how it will be this time.

Pieces of iron

• This month, the network leaked information that Panasonic is planning to release a new smartphone. It all started with the fact that the alleged Panasonic P02-E appeared in the log of the Japanese NTT DoCoMo server. These rumors have fully confirmed themselves.
• While the whole world froze in anticipation of the next Galaxy Note model, the GLBenchmark site spotted a new Samsung device. In the benchmark, the phone lit up as the GT-N5100, but there is every reason to believe that this is the Galaxy Note 7.
• Acer is going to release an inexpensive tablet computer Acer B1-A71, the cost of which, as planned, will not exceed $ 100. I wonder what will come of it, and whether this product will be able to become competitive. By the way, the niche for this tablet is also not very clear. Well, okay.
• Archos has expanded its extensive list of gadgets with another device . Their new 97 Titanium HD tablet is equipped with a 9.7-inch Retina touch-screen IPS display, like the latest iPad version, with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 and multitouch function.
• Finnish developer Nokia is going to release its own tablet based on Windows RT. It is assumed that their device will be available in the first months of 2013. I wonder what kind of gadget it will end up with, and how it will affect, first of all, the already bad sales of Microsoft Surface.
