Apple's Month-Long Music Festival Returns Tomorrow - Forbes
Unbeknownst to most Americans, in addition to everything else they do, Apple is in the music festival business…kind of.
The company has been operating the London-based iTunes Festival for years now, with the eighth edition starting tomorrow. The festival is 30 days long, hosting one show per day. Every night features a carefully curated group of artists whose styles work well together. While a single night might be devoted to electronic dance or rock, the festival itself features all kinds of music, typically featuring only the biggest artists and pairing them with hot up-and-comers.
As I said, Apple is in the business of festivals, but I made sure to throw in the “kind of” because the iTunes Festival isn’t a moneymaker for the tech giant in the typical way. Apple doesn’t sell tickets to any of the shows, instead using it as a massive promotional tool, giving away all open slots and allowing anyone to watch for free online, hoping it spurs sales of tracks and albums.
The iTunes Festival (via Apple)
iTunes users around the world can win tickets to the festival through competitions run by local media partners. In the UK, fans can get passes by entering a lottery on iTunes, as well as through select media partners including Global Radio and the London Evening Standard. The shows are all held at the historic Roundhouse venue in London.
For those who use Apple TV, this year the festival will even have it’s own channel. Users will be able to stream the concerts live as they happen, as well as watch them afterwards.
While the iTunes Festival has always been based in London, this year the company began to branch out, bringing a shorter version to the States for the first time. Apple held an iTunes Festival-lite during this year’s South By Southwest, with five nights of shows ranging from country (Keith Urban) to hip-hop (Kendrick Lamar). The company hasn’t said yet whether they have plans to do so again in the US.
Since the festival’s inception, over 400 artists have performed, and countless millions have watched, many online. This year’s lineup still has one or two dates to fill, but so far headliners include David Guetta, Tony Bennett, Sam Smith, Maroon 5, Pharrell, and Ed Sheeran. The shows begin tomorrow evening (London time), but will be available for a period of time to watch afterwards.

Veteran Tech Journalist Anand Shimpi Headed to Apple - Re/code
Anand Lal Shimpi, the editor and publisher of the well-regarded AnandTech site, is going to work at Apple.
An Apple rep confirmed that the company was hiring Shimpi, but wouldn’t provide any other details.
Last night, via a post on the site he founded in 1997, Shimpi said he was “officially retiring from the tech publishing world,” but didn’t say what he was doing next. “I won’t stay idle forever. There are a bunch of challenges out there :)”, he wrote.
Unlike many tech publications, AnandTech focused much of its energy on the guts of new devices, via reports on chips and other hardware components. In Shimpi’s words: “AnandTech started as a site that primarily reviewed motherboards, then we added CPUs, video cards, cases, notebooks, Macs, smartphones, tablets and anything else that mattered.”
Shimpi’s post also announced that AnandTech would continue publishing, and would be run by new editor in chief Ryan Smith.

This Week's Apple Rumors, Ranked From Dumbest to Most Plausible - Wired
An array of photos, including ones of the next iPhone’s SIM tray, show the next phone could be coming in gold, gray, and silver colors, quite similar to the iPhone 5s. Josh Valcarcel/WIRED
Each week, there are dozens of rumors, reports, and patent filings that hint at what’s coming out of Cupertino next. Some are legit, but many are totally bogus. As we’re nearing the launch of the next iPhone, we’re starting to see lots of leaks. As always, we’ve parsed the rumors, ranking them in order from “utterly ridiculous” to “duh, of course.” First up…
ASK AGAIN LATER: Thinner MacBook to Arrive by 2016
Well this doesn’t sound like anything Apple would ever do: an even thinner MacBook? Digitimes reports Apple’s working on a thinner MacBook and will cease production of the non-Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro by the end of this year. Both of these sound like logical moves for the company, with or without word from supply chain sources, but 2016 is still a ways away.
ASK AGAIN LATER: Analyst Says 5.5-Inch iPhone Will Get Sapphire, Only Some 4.7-Inchers Will
Apple’s made a significant investment in sapphire displays, but has reportedly experienced production issues that may hinder the company’s ability to use them in the next iPhone. We heard before that the larger model iPhone may get these extra-hard displays. Analyst Matt Margolis echoed this rumor again this week, but also speculated that some 4.7-inch models may also get them.
ASK AGAIN LATER: Apple Prepping for Production of 12.9-Inch iPad
Bloomberg reports Apple is getting ready to start production on an extra-large 12.9-inch iPad early next year. Apple would likely target the slate at business and enterprise folks. The 12-inch iPad rumor has been circulating for a long time now, picking up steam earlier this year before settling down again as iPhone reports amped up.
ASK AGAIN LATER: Reversible USB Adapter Not Likely Debuting With New iPhone
A third-party vendor that works with Apple’s main Lightning cable supplier says a new cable may in the works, but it’s not being mass produced. Apparently samples of the cable have been sent from the supplier to Apple for approval, but as they haven’t been approved yet, neither has wide scale production, so they won’t be ready for a few more months yet.
SIGNS POINT TO YES: Next iPhone to Come in Silver, Gray, Gold
An array of photos, including ones of the next iPhone’s SIM tray, show the iPhone could be coming in gold, gray, and silver colors, quite similar to the iPhone 5s.
SIGNS POINT TO YES: Apple to Unveil a Wearable Sept. 9
After signs Apple wouldn’t be, Recode reported this week that Apple is in fact planning to unveil its wearable at the company’s media event Sept. 9. If true, I’d expect this to be just an announcement of the product—its shipping date would likely be holiday time frame at the earliest (Indeed, Recode elaborated it won’t ship until 2015). Apple’s done this before with the iPad and the Mac Pro.
WITHOUT A DOUBT: iPhone 6 Will Include an NFC Payment Platform
WIRED confirmed the next iPhone will in fact include a mobile payment platform, and it will incorporate NFC. Additionally, another parts leak points to NFC inclusion in the next iPhone, as well. We think Apple could also be utilizing iBeacons as part of its solution.
WITHOUT A DOUBT: Apple’s Next Event Happening Sept. 9
Invites went out on Thursday. ‘Nuff said.

More quote details and news » to dominate the smartphone business is fueling the technology industry's newest talent search: software prodigies as young as 13 who are creating apps for their mobile devices.
Grant Goodman sensed an opportunity when Apple removed the preloaded YouTube app from its iPhones last year. He quickly built an advertising-free app called Prodigus to play online videos "fast with no compromises."
Prodigus, Grant explains, was his second iPhone app. He recently built a third, a game called "iTap That," and incorporated a company, Macster Software Inc. to manage the business. Next week, the 14-year-old will take a break from his business to start high school in Glen Head, N.Y.
"If you start young, you will have an advantage over people who start in their 20s," he said. "Your brain has more plasticity when you're younger."
Grant is among a generation of teenage developers seizing opportunities afforded by the spread of smartphones and the ready market for their work through the app stores. Overall, Google has paid developers more than $5 billion over the last year, and Apple paid about $10 billion over the same period—and $20 billion since it opened its app store in 2008.
Software wunderkinds are being courted by Apple and Google to write for their mobile-operating systems. Apple in 2012 lowered the minimum age to attend its developer conference to 13, from 18, and made the younger teens eligible for scholarships that waive the $1,600 registration fee. Minors claimed roughly half of the 200 scholarships at this year's conference, where Apple introduced a new programming language, Swift, that streamlines the app-making process.
Google started its own youth program at its Google I/O developer conference in June. It hosted 200 children between the ages of 11 and 15 for a half-day, introducing them to some basic tools used by its developers.
Grant, an Apple scholarship winner, has created an app for Google Glass that displays remaining battery power of the Web-connected eyewear. But he said he prefers making apps for Apple's iOS devices because he is "obsessed" with the iPhone maker and its emphasis on simplicity.
Mother Becky Goodman says paying for summer camps for programming and computer equipment is a financial sacrifice, but worth it to see Grant happy and fulfilled. "We're not emotionally invested in him being the next Mark Zuckerberg, " she said. "We just want him to be happy."
Nick D'Aloisio is a hero to many of whiz kids. Now 18, Mr. D'Aloisio last year sold his news-summarizing app Summly to Yahoo Inc. YHOO +0.52% Yahoo! Inc.

More quote details and news » for $30 million. At Apple's June conference, Mr. D'Aloisio won a design award for a different news-reading app he developed at Yahoo.
"I hope that's me one day," said 16-year-old Douglas Bumby, as he watched Mr. D'Aloisio accept the award. Douglas drove 14 hours from Langley, British Columbia, with his grandparents to attend the conference in San Francisco. He spent more than 70 hours honing the app about himself that was part of the scholarship application, adding features such as a counter that tracked his age to the second.
Douglas's first app—Just Go!, a stopwatch for runners—became available in the App Store during the conference. The app is listed under his grandfather's name because he is only 16.
Developers younger than 18 years old can't publish apps in Apple's App Store, so many children register using a parent or guardian's name. Google has no age restrictions for its Google Play store, but a developer needs to register an account with a credit card—something that many children don't have.
Douglas said he is sometimes mocked at school as a nerd, but enjoyed being around tech-savvy teens at the conference. He also found a business partner in 17-year-old Jason Pan from Australia.
The pair quickly formed a company, Apollo Research, and set to work on a collaboration app they are calling Slate. But Douglas said it's still difficult for young developers to get taken seriously by investors or customers. "I kind of wish I was older," he mused.
Twenty-one-year-old Sarah Rust stood out among Apple's mostly male student developers. Unlike her peers who are weighing whether to skip college, the University of North Carolina student and Apple scholarship winner is in no rush to start her career and is considering pursuing a master's degree in computer science. But she has been impressed by her peers' drive.
"They are incredibly smart, probably smarter than most adults," she said. "Age isn't a requirement to do well."
Ahmed Fathi, 15, said he taught himself how to create iPhone apps in Egypt. "Even my computer teacher has no idea what programmers do," he said. "My friends think I'm crazy. They often ask 'what the hell are you doing?' "
Ahmed said he became interested in programming after an uncle taught him how to create websites two years ago. He learned how to build mobile apps by watching YouTube videos and combing Stack Overflow, a question-and-answer site for programmers. This month, he published Tweader, an app that reads Tweets aloud for drivers or bikers, in the App Store.
Attending the conference was eye opening. He spent time touring San Francisco, Apple's campus and Stanford University. He also participated in local "hackathons"—intense collaboration sessions to create new software.
"People here care about technology," Ahmed said.

Bloomberg reports Apple is getting ready to start production on an extra-large 12.9-inch iPad early next year. Apple would likely target the slate at business and enterprise folks. The 12-inch iPad rumor has been circulating for a long time now, picking up steam earlier this year before settling down again as iPhone reports amped up.
ASK AGAIN LATER: Reversible USB Adapter Not Likely Debuting With New iPhone
A third-party vendor that works with Apple’s main Lightning cable supplier says a new cable may in the works, but it’s not being mass produced. Apparently samples of the cable have been sent from the supplier to Apple for approval, but as they haven’t been approved yet, neither has wide scale production, so they won’t be ready for a few more months yet.
SIGNS POINT TO YES: Next iPhone to Come in Silver, Gray, Gold
An array of photos, including ones of the next iPhone’s SIM tray, show the iPhone could be coming in gold, gray, and silver colors, quite similar to the iPhone 5s.
SIGNS POINT TO YES: Apple to Unveil a Wearable Sept. 9
After signs Apple wouldn’t be, Recode reported this week that Apple is in fact planning to unveil its wearable at the company’s media event Sept. 9. If true, I’d expect this to be just an announcement of the product—its shipping date would likely be holiday time frame at the earliest (Indeed, Recode elaborated it won’t ship until 2015). Apple’s done this before with the iPad and the Mac Pro.
WITHOUT A DOUBT: iPhone 6 Will Include an NFC Payment Platform
WIRED confirmed the next iPhone will in fact include a mobile payment platform, and it will incorporate NFC. Additionally, another parts leak points to NFC inclusion in the next iPhone, as well. We think Apple could also be utilizing iBeacons as part of its solution.

More quote details and news » to dominate the smartphone business is fueling the technology industry's newest talent search: software prodigies as young as 13 who are creating apps for their mobile devices.
Grant Goodman sensed an opportunity when Apple removed the preloaded YouTube app from its iPhones last year. He quickly built an advertising-free app called Prodigus to play online videos "fast with no compromises."
Prodigus, Grant explains, was his second iPhone app. He recently built a third, a game called "iTap That," and incorporated a company, Macster Software Inc. to manage the business. Next week, the 14-year-old will take a break from his business to start high school in Glen Head, N.Y.
"If you start young, you will have an advantage over people who start in their 20s," he said. "Your brain has more plasticity when you're younger."
Grant is among a generation of teenage developers seizing opportunities afforded by the spread of smartphones and the ready market for their work through the app stores. Overall, Google has paid developers more than $5 billion over the last year, and Apple paid about $10 billion over the same period—and $20 billion since it opened its app store in 2008.
Software wunderkinds are being courted by Apple and Google to write for their mobile-operating systems. Apple in 2012 lowered the minimum age to attend its developer conference to 13, from 18, and made the younger teens eligible for scholarships that waive the $1,600 registration fee. Minors claimed roughly half of the 200 scholarships at this year's conference, where Apple introduced a new programming language, Swift, that streamlines the app-making process.
Google started its own youth program at its Google I/O developer conference in June. It hosted 200 children between the ages of 11 and 15 for a half-day, introducing them to some basic tools used by its developers.
Grant, an Apple scholarship winner, has created an app for Google Glass that displays remaining battery power of the Web-connected eyewear. But he said he prefers making apps for Apple's iOS devices because he is "obsessed" with the iPhone maker and its emphasis on simplicity.
Mother Becky Goodman says paying for summer camps for programming and computer equipment is a financial sacrifice, but worth it to see Grant happy and fulfilled. "We're not emotionally invested in him being the next Mark Zuckerberg, " she said. "We just want him to be happy."
Nick D'Aloisio is a hero to many of whiz kids. Now 18, Mr. D'Aloisio last year sold his news-summarizing app Summly to Yahoo Inc. YHOO +0.52% Yahoo! Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq $38.51 +0.20 +0.52% Aug. 29, 2014 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 11.40M AFTER HOURS $38.51 0.00 % Aug. 29, 2014 7:59 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 232,662 P/E Ratio 31.83 Market Cap $38.30 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $378,594 08/30/14 Alibaba Group Plans IPO Launch... 08/29/14 Apple's New Whiz Kids 08/26/14 Take Back Control of Your Emai... More quote details and news » for $30 million. At Apple's June conference, Mr. D'Aloisio won a design award for a different news-reading app he developed at Yahoo.
"I hope that's me one day," said 16-year-old Douglas Bumby, as he watched Mr. D'Aloisio accept the award. Douglas drove 14 hours from Langley, British Columbia, with his grandparents to attend the conference in San Francisco. He spent more than 70 hours honing the app about himself that was part of the scholarship application, adding features such as a counter that tracked his age to the second.
Douglas's first app—Just Go!, a stopwatch for runners—became available in the App Store during the conference. The app is listed under his grandfather's name because he is only 16.
Developers younger than 18 years old can't publish apps in Apple's App Store, so many children register using a parent or guardian's name. Google has no age restrictions for its Google Play store, but a developer needs to register an account with a credit card—something that many children don't have.
Douglas said he is sometimes mocked at school as a nerd, but enjoyed being around tech-savvy teens at the conference. He also found a business partner in 17-year-old Jason Pan from Australia.
The pair quickly formed a company, Apollo Research, and set to work on a collaboration app they are calling Slate. But Douglas said it's still difficult for young developers to get taken seriously by investors or customers. "I kind of wish I was older," he mused.
Twenty-one-year-old Sarah Rust stood out among Apple's mostly male student developers. Unlike her peers who are weighing whether to skip college, the University of North Carolina student and Apple scholarship winner is in no rush to start her career and is considering pursuing a master's degree in computer science. But she has been impressed by her peers' drive.
"They are incredibly smart, probably smarter than most adults," she said. "Age isn't a requirement to do well."
Ahmed Fathi, 15, said he taught himself how to create iPhone apps in Egypt. "Even my computer teacher has no idea what programmers do," he said. "My friends think I'm crazy. They often ask 'what the hell are you doing?' "
Ahmed said he became interested in programming after an uncle taught him how to create websites two years ago. He learned how to build mobile apps by watching YouTube videos and combing Stack Overflow, a question-and-answer site for programmers. This month, he published Tweader, an app that reads Tweets aloud for drivers or bikers, in the App Store.
Attending the conference was eye opening. He spent time touring San Francisco, Apple's campus and Stanford University. He also participated in local "hackathons"—intense collaboration sessions to create new software.
"People here care about technology," Ahmed said.

This Week's Apple Rumors, Ranked From Dumbest to Most Plausible - Wired

Each week, there are dozens of rumors, reports, and patent filings that hint at what’s coming out of Cupertino next. Some are legit, but many are totally bogus. As we’re nearing the launch of the next iPhone, we’re starting to see lots of leaks. As always, we’ve parsed the rumors, ranking them in order from “utterly ridiculous” to “duh, of course.” First up…
ASK AGAIN LATER: Thinner MacBook to Arrive by 2016
Well this doesn’t sound like anything Apple would ever do: an even thinner MacBook? Digitimes reports Apple’s working on a thinner MacBook and will cease production of the non-Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro by the end of this year. Both of these sound like logical moves for the company, with or without word from supply chain sources, but 2016 is still a ways away.
ASK AGAIN LATER: Analyst Says 5.5-Inch iPhone Will Get Sapphire, Only Some 4.7-Inchers Will
Apple’s made a significant investment in sapphire displays, but has reportedly experienced production issues that may hinder the company’s ability to use them in the next iPhone. We heard before that the larger model iPhone may get these extra-hard displays. Analyst Matt Margolis echoed this rumor again this week, but also speculated that some 4.7-inch models may also get them.
