Apple Runs Out of Patience, Sues HTC

It was a matter of time before Apple started going after its competitors. The company has been very patient in this area, allowing other smart-phone makers to duplicate some of the exciting features that can be found on iPhone. But as its competition with Google intensifies, it’s only a matter of time before a few of Apple’s rival feel Steve Job’s wrath.

We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it… We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.

Apple itself has been the subject of multiple lawsuits recently. Nokia and Kodak are all after Apple to get a piece of its pie. So the move to put pressure on Nexus One manufacturer was expected. Apple is suing HTC for infringing upon 20 of its patents, and it seeks to bar HTC from selling its devices in the U.S.

If Apple wins the lawsuit, this may potentially affect HTC’s revenues and their competitiveness in the long run

That would be devastating news for Android fan, but it’s unlikely for Apple and HTC to come to a resolution anytime soon. So those who own HTC’s handset should rest easy as the case will drag on. Read the rest of this entry »

Apple & Child Labor Violations

Things are not as rosy as they used to be for Apple. Not after the company had to admit child labor was used to manufacture Apple products in 3 factories which supply Apple. The issue of children working in factories for such a famous company could be very scandalous. And you can always count on the media to take such a story and spin it to create even more controversy. As Telegraph put it, 11 children were used in 3 factories that work with Apple, something that somehow slipped through and escaped Apple’s attention. The issue of underage workers working in factories is nothing new, especially in China. Those who choose to get work done in that country are aware of this practice, so Apple was probably ready for this bombshell in one way or another.

Apple for its part has done the best a company can to address this PR problem. The company is working towards identifying the source of the issue and is taking measures to minimize the practice:

In each of the three facilities, we required a review of all employment records for the year as well as a complete analysis of the hiring process to clarify how underage people had been able to gain employment

It’s not clear how companies should deal with child labor issues. Apple doesn’t have to face that issue in the U.S., but that is a serious issue in Asia. Do you fire all the underage workers? Could these people be seriously hurt by such actions? Now, I am against underage workers getting work in factories. But these problems are well documented and nothing new. To somehow put the problem on Apple is preposterous. The company could have been more vigilant in identifying issues with its factories. But it’s not as if Apple set out to take advantage of underage workers to keep its manufacturing costs low.

iPhone Price Cut On The Way?

Product Details

Many Apple fans have been counting days till they can get their hands on Apple’s new “creation” iPad. The company has announced the device and is removing the last obstacles to start taking orders and shipping the device. But that’s not the only thing that Apple fans are looking forward to. According to many credible sources, Apple is getting ready to reduce iPhone prices yet again to put itself in a better competitive position, considering that many companies are introducing “iPhone killers” these days.

According to Morgan Stanley, the new iPhone models are on the way, and they’ll be cheaper than you think. Getting an iPhone for $199 is only one part of the story. Paying for the 2 year contract puts the iPhone out of many people’s range. Apparently, there is going to be a change in Apple’s pricing scheme to make the device more affordable to more people:

We expect Apple to launch new iPhones in June that offer both a lower total cost of ownership and new functionality, potentially including gesture-based technology
