Apple and Samsung are in a pretty complex, multi-level relationship with each other. Although they have been competing for the lion's share of the smartphone market for the past few years and have met one another in a court of law for quite a few times, they are also business partners, as Apple has used a number of Samsung-made silicon components in its iPhone devices over the years. Cupertino has tried to divorce its South Korea-based adversary, but this has proved to be a pretty hard task... Simply because Apple admits that Samsung is hr Best hardware Manufacture.
One of the latest iPhone 6-related rumors, for example, claims that Apple has once turned to Samsung for hardware parts - this time, Sammy is said to be providing a great portion of the RAM chips for Cupertino's next flagship, which might or might not come with 1GB of random-access memory (RAM) aboard.
It will be filling the gap that SK Hynix and Elpida Memory, two of Apple's major RAM suppliers, left after they did not agree to increase the RAM production, which will provide a steady supply of memory for the iPhone 6.
Today, Apple has released a new public beta for the OS X Yosemite with a new iTunes version and quite a few changes.
The Yosemite OS X public beta 2 is essentially the same as the developer preview 6 that was released earlier this week. It has several design changes, including new iconography throughout the UI (nothing you saw until now was finalized and things keep changing in the betas), new wallpapers, and some other bug fixes and general improvements.
Along with pushing the beta 2, Apple also released iTunes 12 for Yosemite. The new app has a redesigned UI that looks more flattened version of the iTunes on Mavericks and more like a new app.
Tech analyst, John Gruber, has a good reputation when it comes to leaking information about Apple devices. So when he says to expect the long-awaited Apple iWatch to finally see the light of day next month, there is a very good chance that it will actually happen. Apple is holding an event on September 9th that is expected to unveil the Apple iPhone 6. It is possible that the iWatch will also be introduced at that time.
By July of last year, Apple had trademarked the iWatch name in a number of countries. The wearable is expected to come out of the box with a number of sensors that will allow it to capture health-related metrics such as heart rate, blood pressure and possibly blood glucose readings. That information can be sent to Apple's Health app, where it will be analyzed. The app will debut on iOS 8.
When Apple announced that it had agreed to purchase Beats Audio for $3 billion back in May, it was also said that the deal was expected to finalize during Q2. Today, it looks like the deal has been made official, despite hearing only from the European Commission as far as regulatory approval. The news was broken by Tim Cook and Dre tweeting the news along with links to the welcome page on the Apple site and Beats site.
The Apple page welcomes Beats Audio and cofounders Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre to the Apple family. The message goes on to say:
Beats cofounders Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre have created beautiful products that have helped millions of people deepen their connection to music. We're delighted to be working with the team to elevate that experience even further.
And we can't wait to hear what's next.
On the Beats site, credit is given to the Macintosh computer as being the "instrument of choice" for digital music creation, as well as nods to the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. In addition to this welcome page, Beats has updated its support pages to note that "All online purchasing will go through the Apple Online Store" for Beats products.
Bad luck Apple, Beats Audio is Apple's most expensive acquisition to-date. Until Bose comes into the picture. Bose is arguably the standard by which all others are measured when it comes to audio technology and quality. Bolstering that technology is a portfolio of patents, and on Friday, Bose filed a lawsuit against Beats claiming infringement of 5 noise cancelation patents in use with Beats' Studio and Studio Wireless line of headphones.

Bose also filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission with the aim of stopping the importation of Beats noise cancelation headphones to the United States. "We are committed to protection our investment, protecting our customers, and defending the patents we own," according to a Bose representative.
