Apple : Reports: No 4-inch screen for iPhone 5 |
| Reports: No 4-inch screen for iPhone 5 Posted:  Apple fans hoping for a palm-filling 4-inch+ screen from the forthcoming fifth generation iPhone may be disappointed, if leaked components and new reports prove accurate. Conflicting reports on Monday say that the next Retina Display will remain at 3.5-inches, or perhaps enjoy a slight bump to 3.7-inches. A leaked prototype LCD display component uncovered by the MacPost website fits exactly the same form factor as the iPhone 4. That discovery could be interpreted in two ways. The first is that the iPhone 5 design will remain unchanged. Secondly, it could add credence to rumours that Apple will launch a second tier 'iPhone 4S' that sticks to the iPhone 4 design. Or will we see a 3.7-inch display?While speculation continues, a source at Taiwanese website DigiTimes reckons Apple could be planning to push the display up to 3.7-inches. DigiTimes also predicts that the iPhone 5's back cover will be switched to metal, replacing the reinforced glass on the iPhone 5. Despite all this conjecture, we're still no closer to knowing when Apple will actually launch its next generation smartphone. |
| Apple wants Tim Cook for at least 10 years Posted:  New Apple CEO Tim Cook must remain with the company for the next ten years if he is to pick up the bumper pile of shares awarded with his new title. Apple has made a whopping one million shares available to Steve Jobs' replacement, dependent on his continued tenure with the company until 2021. At today's prices, a million stock units equates to somewhere in the region of £250m. Not a bad chunk of change. Half of those shares will mature in 2016, while the other half a million will be restricted until the end of the ten year period. Snowballed"In connection with Mr. Cook's appointment as Chief Executive Officer, the Board awarded Mr. Cook 1,000,000 restricted stock units," Apple told the US Securities and Exchange commission. When you consider how Apple stock has snowballed massively over the last few years (over 6,000 per cent since Steve Jobs returned to the company in 1997), Cook's tenure at Apple is likely to make him a billionaire. New Chairman of the Board Steve Jobs currently owns 5.5 million shares, which would be worth over $2bn if he decided to cash them in and buy a desert island to retire to. Link: TechLand |
