Skating to where the puck will be: next year Apple will introduce wireless charging for the iPhone. Wow. Apple will switch to an all-glass casing for next year's entire iPhone line-up in order to support wireless charging, with Pegatron being the exclusive supplier of the wireless charger.

iPhone generated record-breaking profits lat quarter despite continues sales decline. Apple captured a record 91% of profits in the worldwide smartphone market in the third quarter, or $8.5 billion of the overall $9 billion in profits recorded by all vendors combined. Look at the global smartphone operating profit share. The Apple numbers are incredible:

Look at these numbers (what surprises me most? the answer below the graphic):
