Reports: Apple retail down, Apple online up for Black Friday
Black Friday has come and gone and, while it’s still early, numbers and speculation regarding the consumer-fest have begun to trickle in from analysts. According to comScore, hat tip to Silicon Valley Insider, Apple enjoyed 39 percent growth in sales this year compared to last. As a whole, comScore says that e-commerece was up 11 percent from last year, making Apple’s mark over three times greater than the average e-com reseller—rather impressive.
Apple offered deals throughout its online store the day after American Thanksgiving in the company’s usual fashion, which may explain some of the good news. While everything on the Internet was roses and ponies, real world brick and mortar sales were down according to Gene Munster of Piper Jaffrey (again hat tip Silicon Valley Insider). Munster terms the performance “down slightly” from last year, but also calls it a 36 percent decrease. Apple, like many other retailers, had their retail stores open extended hours during the post-holiday shopping spree, hoping to pull in all the business it could during a slow economic period.
Apple accused of manipulating NAND flash prices
Industry insiders say that Apple is using ethically dubious means to secure lower prices for NAND flash memory chips, used mainly in its iPod and iPhone devices. The practice is said to artificially deflate flash prices, casing harm to the NAND industry as a whole.
According to The Korea Times, Apple is asking for larger volumes from its suppliers, like Samsung and Hynix, than it actually ends up buying. This causes multiple suppliers to ramp up production in anticipation of large orders, inflating supply and driving prices down. This gets Apple a really great price—padding its healthy margins—but leaves manufacturers with a glut of flash chips.

Next-gen iPhone in field testing, may have revamped Maps
Apple looks to be already testing its next-generation iPhone hardware in the San Francisco area near its Cupertino headquarters, according to usage logs for the iBART public transit application. Usage logs like these revealed early testing of the iPhone 3GS last year, eight months before it launched this past summer. What the next revision of the iPhone may offer is still a matter of speculation and debate, but a recent job listing for a MapKit software engineer suggests a Maps revamp may be in the works.
The iBART app, which is used to navigate San Francisco’s train system, uses Pinch Media analytics to log usage statistics such as iPhone model and software version number. Developers use these statistics in a variety of ways, such as deciding when to switch to iPhone OS 3.0-only programming APIs. iBART developer Pandav recently noticed that a model reporting as “iPhone3,1″ began appearing in Pinch Media logs.
