11 Sep 2012Fast Company reports on ongoing internal strife at Apple over the company’s use of software skeuomorphism, the inclusion of certain ornamental elements in a product that are carried over from previous tools addressing the same task for which the elements were required for functionality. Daring Fireball ‘s John Gruber has linked to the article, noting that he has heard similar word of an “internal political divide” over the issue. One of the most frequently-cited examples of questionable skeuomorphism in Apple’s software is the company’s set of calendar apps, which have recently used a stitched leather design reminiscent of physical desktop calendars, complete with the remnants of torn-off pages visible near the binding. Game Center, which is presented as a gaming table complete with wood grain and green felt, is another oft-cited example.
In mid-July, Japanese blog Macotakara claimed that Apple has been undertaking a significant redesign of the iPod nano , moving to an oblong form factor with a larger, rectangular screen and a home button. As shown in a rough rendering accompanying the post, the changes would make the iPod nano appear more like a smaller version of the iPod touch, although it would presumably not run a full version of iOS. Reports of a revamped iPod nano have continued to surface since that time, with Macotakara also adding fresh claims that the new iPod nano will include Wi-Fi capabilities in order to support iTunes in the Cloud.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal , Apple is “seeking to create a Pandora-rival custom radio service.” Citing “people familiar with the matter”, the Journal claims the service would work across Apple’s line of products — including Macs, the iPhone and the iPad — and possibly even on Windows PC’s.
Audience today announced that it appears “unlikely” Apple will use the company’s earSmart noise suppression technology in the upcoming iPhone 5. Audience’s technology was reported to a key innovation providing support for Siri on the iPhone 4S, and Apple was reported back in February to have licensed Audience’s next-generation technology for future products. But with today’s announcement, it appears that Apple has elected not to take advantage of the technology. Audience sells processors and licenses its processor IP to Apple Inc.
