Here are your Apple rumors and AAPL stock news items for Friday: iPhone Owners
More Likely to Invest in Apple: Considering the crazed zeal with which most
people talk about their iPhones, it isnt too surprising that they want to own a
piece of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) as much as Apple owns a piece of them. According
to a report at Venture Beat , investment tracking website SigFigs new survey of
mobile customer loyalty found that 16% of iPhone owners own Apple stock . That
company loyalty outstrips competitors in the mobile space. Also unsurprising:
BlackBerry owners actually are more likely to purchase stock in Apple than in
Research in Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM ). Just one in 100 BlackBerry users own RIM
shares, but 6% of BlackBerry owners own Apple shares. Google (NASDAQ: GOOG )
fares slightly better: While 8% of Android users own stock in Apple, 4% of them
own shares of Google. Samsung A5 Chip Manufacturing Plant Opens in Texas:
Despite their contentious relationship , Samsung (PINK: SSNLF ) and Apple remain
linked by their production relationship. Samsung remains a core supplier of
parts for Apples devices. Further cementing that bond is Samsungs new
manufacturing plant in Austin, Texas. A Friday Reuters report said the new $3.6
billion facility reached full production capacity at the beginning of the month.
What are they making at the Austin facility? The Apple A5 chip
