Phil Schiller

Apple and Samsung were back in court Friday, continuing their arguments over charges that the Korean electronics giant copied designs from California-based tech titan. The two companies, according to the latest tally from Cannacord Genuity, account for 108 percent of the profits from the worldwide smartphone market, CNET reported earlier this week. Losses from other companies explain the over-100 number. The trial has shed some more light on the companies' bitter fight for smartphone dominance, prompting both to release their U.S....

Rumors about a new, cheaper iPhone have been swirling for several days now, hitting a fever pitch as Bloomberg reported Thursday that a phone made of cheaper products could sell for under $150, and perhaps as little as $99. But Apple executive and head of global marketing Phil Schiller stepped in to stop, or at least slow, the rumor mill with comments to the Shanghai Evening News, as translated and confirmed by The Next Web, that cheap smartphones...

It took them four days, but Apple is finally explaining its surprise decision to remove nearly all "sexy" content from the App Store . Once again, the morsels of information come from Apple SVP of Worldwide Product Marketing Phil Schiller , who spoke with the New York Times for an article published earlier this evening. None of it is too surprising, but Schiller's unconvincing explanation as to why some applications like Sports Illustrated's swimsuit app and Playboy will be allowed to remain on...

Apparently it's not easy to assemble one of the world's thinnest and lightest smartphones. Who would have guessed? The iPhone 5 is almost 20 percent thinner than iPhone 4, at just 7.6 mm or .3 inches, and it's 20 percent lighter than the previous model as well. Plus, those diamond-cut chamfered (sloping) angles and glass inlays are not easy to get just exactly perfect. That's why Foxconn execs are calling the iPhone 5 "the most difficult device" that the company has ever assembled.

Steve Jobs may not be coming to Macworld Expo in San Francisco next week, but that hasn't stopped the Apple rumor-mill from charging ahead at full speed. This year is Apple's last at the storied trade show, and many are hoping the little company from Cupertino will go out with a bang. As we get ready for Apple Senior V.P. of Worldwide Product Marketing Phil Schiller's keynote address on January 6, we present you with the top 5 Macworld rumors. It's back . We first brought you this rumor about a scaled down,...

Apple 's Phil Schiller announced at the Steveless keynote at Macworld today (CrunchGear is liveblogging it) that a new version of iPhoto will include facial recognition software. The feature, called Faces, lets you put a name to face, then it tries to find other images with the same face and lets you confirm whether the software got it right. I really hopes this works, because I simply don't have time to tag the 7,000 images in my iPhoto, 5,000 of which are probably one of my sons.

For those not weary of iPhone predictions, here's some new grist for the Apple rumor mill, in the form of "leaked" photos of what is expected to be Apple's new iPad mini. The photos gathered steam Tuesday after appearing on a French technology site called Nowhere Else and then popped up on technology blogs all over the Web. Some blogs declared that the pictures show a leaked "prototype" of a smaller tablet from Apple. Others were skeptical, saying that that the image in the photos looked...

The full line of iLife applications went live today, including the availability of iPhoto for all iPad users to download from the App Store. "Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't create on an iPad" said Apple vice president of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller at the iPad press conference in San Francisco. iPhoto has never appeared on the iPad as a dedicated application, but adding it shows Apple's commitment to making its mobile devices the only camera you'll need.

It's hard to argue with Apple's success. It's the most valuable company in the world; its profits are through the roof; and it has a devoted following that borders — let's be honest — on fanatical. (For proof, see the meme-driven "Things" Apple Fanatics Say, parts one and two. Then tally up how many of those phrases you've heard ... or said.) The company is expected to once again impress the industry and its fans by announcing a new version of the iPhone today, which will likely rake in sales when it hits the...

Apple announced a slew of upgrades and new gadgets Monday, including the new MacBook Pro, which it hopes will help it compete with the onslaught of new ultrabooks and new tablets competitors are releasing this year. As Hayley Tsukayama reported : Apple announced Monday that all of its notebooks are getting an update, confirming rumors and giving the summer's slew of ultrabooks some more competition. The company also introduced a new model. The next generation MacBook Pro, unveiled...

Apple has announced that its Worldwide Developers Conference has been set for June 11-15 and will take place at San Francisco's Moscone West, the company said Wednesday. Some speculation has suggested that Apple could move back to its original schedule of launching the iPhone in the summer at WWDC. But based on tempered expectations for the current quarter with earnings of $8.68 a share and revenue of $34 billion, it's unlikely the company would plan for an iPhone release this summer and will almost certainly shoot for...

Reviews for the new iPad are in and they are glowing. Ahead of the tablet's launch tomorrow, reviewers have published their thoughts on Apple's new tablet, highlighting its new screen, data speeds and improved camera as the most impressive features. All indicate that the new iPad will help Apple stay on top of the market. Most also answer the question about whether to upgrade or not. For anyone looking to buy an Apple tablet who doesn't already own one, The Post's Joshua Topolsky said, this is a no-brainer.

Yes, he's back. When the Apple event started today, CEO Steve Jobs took the stage to a very long standing ovation. He used his opening remarks to talk about the importance of organ donation. Jobs noted that he now had the liver of a person in their mid-20s who died in a car crash. Jobs urged everyone to think about organ donation, as it saved his life. After that, Jobs thanked Apple's executive team, and especially Tim Cook, who steered Apple's ship in his absence. But then it was...

SAN FRANCISCO —Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that Apple just made a fairly major announcement. A couple of announcements, actually. At an event in San Francisco, the company introduced new versions of two of its most important products: the iPad and the Apple TV. The iPad has now become just the "new" iPad — gone is the numbering from the previous version. The Apple TV remains the Apple TV, however. Both products look basically identical to their...
