Amid the ongoing legal battle between the two companies, Qualcomm revealed in a court hearing yesterday that Apple is $7 billion behind on patent royalty payments. This allegation is just the latest in a string of accusations between the two companies. As reported by Reuters, Qualcomm’s comments were made during a hearing in a federal court in San Diego. While the chipmaker says Apple is $7 billion behind on royalty payments, Apple argues that Qualcomm unfairly charges for use of its patents....

I’ve argued in the past that the longevity of Apple devices is one of the reasons the so-called ‘Apple tax’ is lower than it appears. Until now, there hasn’t been any hard data on the average lifespan of an Apple product, but one analyst thinks he has figured out how to calculate it from Apple’s own numbers … Asymco’s Horace Dediu wrote recently that there have been only two occasions Apple has released what he considers a critical number....

Apple quietly announced this morning that its retail location in Naples, Florida will be closed temporarily for renovations starting September 2nd. The store is located in The Waterside Shops, an open-air shopping mall just under 40 miles south of Fort Myers, FL. Apple Waterside Shops opened on March 10, 2007 as Apple’s 12th store in Florida. Constructed before the launch of the original iPhone, the store was modest in size, but situated close to Apple Coconut Point in nearby Estero, Florida, which was completed earlier the same year....

Apple is looking to tighten its hold over the supply of parts that manufacturers use for its products, according to a new report from Digitimes citing supply chain sources. Right now, ‘non-key’ components like screws are sourced autonomously by third-party partners with Apple approving supplier lists and quality assurance at the end. The new report says Apple will directly set pricing and order volumes of downstream parts, in a move that gives Apple even more control over how its products are made and will likely squeeze the profitability of supply chain partners....

When Apple announced the Retina Macbook Pro at the 2012 Worldwide Developer Conference, we noted how it seemed like the company was integrating the selling points from all of its devices into one, with the iPad and iPhone’s Retina display being the main point of interest. Fast forward a year and Apple has done something similar, but this time with the MacBook Air. One thing the iPad has always been praised for is its battery life....

[slideshow] Note: Some of the screenshots in this slideshow are from the current beta version. I love the CloudApp file sharing service, and I’ve tried my fair share of CloudApp clients for my iPhone. Unfortunately, most of the iOS clients that are currently available have been abandoned by the developers, receive few updates, or just aren’t that great. Enter DropCloud. DropCloud, created by Shabbir Vijapura, has all the features you’d expect from a CloudApp client, like the ability to upload images from your camera roll....

UPDATE: The giveaway is now closed. Moleskin, a widely renowned high-end notebook manufacturer based out of Milan, teamed up with popular note-taking app Evernote to launch a series of smart app-enabled notebooks just before the new school year commenced. I bought one of these notebooks right away for grad school, intended to use it religiously, and hoped it would transform the way I study. Of course, one week into the semester, I found myself using the Evernote app on my iPad more often than the smart notebook itself....

ZAGG, an accessory maker that first received a lot of attention for its super-tough invisibleShield screen protector, these days also happens to be making some of the best iPad keyboards around. While ZAGG has big competition from the likes of Logitech and Belkin, its earlier folio and keyboard cover designs have been among our most recommended keyboards for iPad. ZAGG’s latest creations are not only its first dedicated to Apple’s smaller iPad mini, it’s also a new design for the company that helps set it aside from much of the competition....

Here’s how Jerome Flynn’s character Bennett Drake departed Ripper Street during season 4. Jerome Flynn has had an interesting journey as an actor. He started his career with guest roles on British shows like Boon and Casualty before his first big break came with TV show Soldier Soldier, which followed the lives of a group of soldiers in the British Army. He shared good chemistry with co-star Robson Green (Strike Back), and the duo became unlikely pop sensations when they sang “Unchained Melody” during one episode....

AirPlay isn’t dead as a wireless speaker standard, but it’s not exactly healthy: many models have been discontinued, and new releases have all but stopped. Having previously gone all-in with AirPlay, Danish designer speaker maker Libratone is now rolling out updated versions of its circular Loop, tube-shaped Zipp, and triangular Live systems that augment AirPlay rather than ditching it. The new Libratone Loop ($500) modestly tweaks the prior version to add Bluetooth 4....

Rick and Morty visited a lot of worlds in the first three seasons of the show - from a world where chairs sit on people, to a miniature theme park inside the body of a homeless man. In Rick and Morty season 4, however, they seem to be encountering an unusual number of worlds run by Nazis, whether they’re Nazi shrimp people or Nazi snakes. The multiverse’s apparent tendency to spiral into fascism could just be another example of Rick and Morty’s wry commentary on the real world, in this case referencing the resurgence of the far-right....
