Apple’s primary manufacturing partner Foxconn is said to be enhancing its personnel, quickly after a freeze on new hires following the holiday season, in order to get ready for a big push come summertime when Apple debuts its next iPhone.

The Apple partner will start mass manufacturing of the iPhone “very quickly,” according to the Exchange Journal’s sources, which fits perfectly with the expected very early summertime launch of an iPhone 5 successor. We’ve heard formerly that dealers are getting ready for a June 2013 launch, which recommends that we’ll see the device presented at or around WWDC 2013. Apple has actually presented brand-new iPhones at its annual designer’s conference in the past, with the exception of the last 2 iPhones, which were disclosed and applied sale in fall rather.

The Commercial Diary’s report doesn’t specifically discuss a launch window for the iPhone, only that it will begin mass production quickly. We understand from watching Apple’s production cycles in the past, however that the company generally begins large-scale production for a launch somewhere between 3 and 4 months ahead of a product going on sale. This time around, Apple is anticipated to present an iPhone 5S-type gadget according to most early reports, maintaining design aspects of the iPhone 5 but with under the hood enhancements.

Also accompanying a brand-new flagship phone will be a lower-cost offering, which sources consisting of the WSJ recommend could be presented around the same time as this next-gen model. This would make use of plastic in its construction, as well as been available in a variety of different colors, early leakages suggest.

Apple just recently launched the iPhone 5 on T-Mobile, which early indicators recommend has stimulated adequate renewed interest in the gadget. A mid-year upgrade for their flagship smartphone can make this the most effective year yet in terms of iPhone device sales, relying on how appealing any brand-new functions presented are to potential buyers, particularly provided the effect an affordable gadget might have on pre-paid and emerging markets.

Skype hiring engineers to build Windows 8 Metro style application

Skype Windows 8

Skype appears to be readying a Windows 8 Metro style application. Two job listings surfaced recently that point towards work on a C# and Javascript / HTML5 version of Skype. The listings, described as “Skype for Windows Metro,” indicate that the company is planning a new “from the ground up” version of Skype for Windows 8. Microsoft’s latest operating system, due to enter beta in February, includes a new Metro Style Start Screen and programming model to accommodate new HTML5 and JavaScript applications.

The fact that Skype is hiring for engineers with a Windows Store beta due in late February likely indicates that a Metro version of the application will not debut in beta form initially. Skype is also readying a Windows Phone version of…

Samsung outpaces rivals with record hiring and investments in mobile chips and OLED displays

Samsung Semiconductor logo HQ San Jose stock 1024

Samsung has made quite a name for itself in the electronics space, and the company’s ready to boldly keep on trucking: this week, it announced it will be adding a record 26,000 new workers to its 350,000 person global workforce in 2012 and investing a record 47.8 trillion won (about $ 41.4 billion) into future developments. Some of that money is being allotted directly towards new OLED screens and processors, of course, and the company’s Austin, Texas plant — home of Apple’s A5 chip — will be getting some special treatment in that regard, with Samsung preparing to issue up to $ 1 billion in bonds to raise money for operations there.

While the Samsung Group has a lot of fingers in a lot of pies, it sounds like much of that $ 41.4 billion…

Facebook admits hiring PR firm to smear Google

It seems like the ongoing rivalry between Facebook and Google has taken a turn for the subversive. Last night, a spokesman for the social network confirmed to the Daily Beast that Facebook paid a top PR firm to spread anti-Google stories across the media and to encourage various outlets to examine allegations that the Mountain View company was violating user privacy. The PR firm, Burson-Marsteller, even offered to help blogger Chris Soghoian write a critical op-ed piece about Social Circle — a service that allows Gmail users to access information on so-called “secondary connections,” or friends of their friends. Social Circle, in fact, seems to have been at the epicenter of Facebook’s smear campaign. In a pitch to journalists, Burson described the tool in borderline apocalyptic terms:

“The American people must be made aware of the now immediate intrusions into their deeply personal lives Google is cataloging and broadcasting every minute of every day-without their permission.”

Soghoian thought that Burson’s representatives were “making a mountain out of a molehill,” so he decided to prod them about which company they might be working for. When Burson refused to spill the beans, Soghoian went public and published all of the e-mails sent between him and the firm. USA Today picked up on the story, before concluding that any claims of a smear campaign were unfounded. The Daily Beast‘s Dan Lyons, however, apparently forced Facebook’s hand after confronting the company with “evidence” of its involvement. A Facebook spokesman said the social network hired Burson to do its Nixonian dirty work for two primary reasons: it genuinely believes that Google is violating consumer privacy and it also suspects that its rival “may be improperly using data they have scraped about Facebook users.” In other words, their actions were motivated by both “altruistic” and self-serving agendas, though we’d be willing to bet that the latter slightly outweighed the former. Google, meanwhile, has yet to comment on the story, saying that it still needs more time to wrap its head around everything — which might just be the most appropriate “no comment” we’ve ever heard.

Microsoft goes on a hiring spree for new Xbox hardware devs, staffing up for next console push?

Before you go leaping to any conclusions, do remember that Microsoft plans on keeping the Xbox 360 going until at least 2015 so we’re not really talking imminent changes here. Nonetheless, the software giant has listed a plethora of new job openings, with the most interesting ones being at its Mountain View research campus, where a team responsible for “defining and delivering next generation console architectures” is looking for fresh blood. A graphics hardware architect is sought to ensure that the next Xbox strikes the optimal balance between the awesome and affordable, while a design verification engineer and a few others will be hired to test and help develop prototypes. This bolstering of numbers seems to indicate Microsoft is starting to ramp up research and development on its next-gen home entertainment linchpin, and while nothing’s likely to emerge from those Mountain View labs in the short term, the mere sound of clanking tools and buzzing electrons is getting us excited already.
