The news comes from a new research note issued by well-respected Jefferies & Company analyst Peter Misek, and it closely follows an earlier report that claimed Foxconn is currently hiring more workers to accommodate heavy iPhone orders from Apple. Misek expects plenty of inventory for the iPhone 5S launch, with shipments in the September-quarter totaling between 25 million and 30 million units, and then holiday-quarter shipments will reportedly skyrocket to between 50 million and 55 million units. Apple?s next-generation iPhone 5S is expected to feature a new, more powerful processor, an upgraded camera and possibly a fingerprint scanner?as well.http://news.yahoo.com/iphone-5s-mass-production-said-start-month-ahead-135026728.htmlMon, 15 Jul 2013 09:50:26 -0400BGR Newsiphone-5s-mass-production-said-start-month-ahead-135026728<p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/likely-death-iphone-electrocution-134804757.html"><img src="http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/cEbYDrCXJXTWjF2M6JA8hw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTg2O3E9ODU7dz0xMzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/theatlanticwire/How_Likely_Is_Death_by-f48894b59899a6f7f0c56e1c1b9fdfb2" width="130" height="86" alt="How Likely Is Death by iPhone Electrocution?" align="left" title="How Likely Is Death by iPhone Electrocution?" border="0" /></a>Horrifying news reports?suggest?that an iPhone electrocuted a Chinese woman?though it&#039;s very unclear if that happened at all and if the rest of the iPhone-owning public should worry about death by smartphone electrocution.

According to the report, mass production for the new tablet will begin in the fourth quarter this year.

While it?s not surprising that Apple is looking to add talent for its iWatch launch, the reasons for its hiring spree are: The Financial Times? sources say that Apple?s current team has been encountering ?hard engineering problems that they?ve not been able to solve,? which is why they?re looking for outside help from people with experience in wearable computing.

A new report claims that Apple?s switch to TSMC for its next-generation processor production is only temporary, and the company is already planning to switch back to Samsung for its mobile chipset fabrication beginning in 2015. The report comes from Korea Economic Daily, which doesn?t name its sources but claims Apple?s A9 processor on schedule to launch in 2015 will use a 14-nanometer process. Earlier reports suggested that Apple is switching away from Samsung?s chip fabrication services to TSMC beginning next year, but now it looks as though any switch Apple is planning may be short-lived.http://news.yahoo.com/apple-reportedly-already-planning-move-back-samsung-future-115055014.htmlMon, 15 Jul 2013 07:50:55 -0400BGR Newsapple-reportedly-already-planning-move-back-samsung-future-115055014SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Apple Inc is investigating an accident in which a Chinese woman was killed by an electric shock when answering a call on her iPhone 5 while it was charging, the U.S. technology company said on Monday.
