Why Apple’s A5 is so big–and iPhone 4 won’t get Siri

A diagram of Audience's sales pitch: identify the speaker's voice and isolate it from background noise. (Credit: Audience) Apple's A5 processor includes noise-reduction circuitry licensed from a start-up called Audience , and a chip analyst believes that fact resolves an iPhone 4S mystery and explains why the iPhone 4 lacks the Siri voice-control system . Audience revealed details of its Apple partnership in January, when it filed paperwork for an initial public offering (IPO) of stock. Teardown work from iFixit and Chipworks revealed a dedicated Audience chip in the iPhone 4, but the iPhone 4S integrates Audience's "EarSmart" technology directly into the A5 processor, the company's S-1 filing said. The details answered a question that Linley Group analyst Linley Gwennap had about the A5 chip that powers the iPhone 4S: why is it so big?

Does Apple’s new retail SVP, John Browett, make sense? [Stock talk]

“Is it also possible that Browett’s experience at Dixons, and before that Tesco (the world’s third largest retailer) might just be right what Apple needs as it continues on its path towards world domination?” We, and pretty much the rest of the blogosphere were, shall we say, slightly bewildered when Apple announced its new SVP of Retail, John Browett.

iPhone 5 to launch at WWDC in June, claims analyst

File this one under unsubstantiated analyst hearsay, but Daiwa Securities is claiming the iPhone 5 will be announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference this upcoming June. WWDC would certainly be the reasonable time and place to launch the next iPhone. The only detail beyond that provided by the analyst is that the iPhone 5 will keep using glass to glass touch panels, but beyond that, we’re still in the dark about what specifically the iPhone 5 will offer. It might be bigger ( or not ), it might be thinner than the iPhone 4 and have a 13 megapixel camera , maybe it’ll have LTE … It’s really all a crap-shoot at this point. I’m sure whatever Apple ends up launching, whenever they launch it, is going to be insanely popular just like every other phone they’ve made
