Flint Center for the Performing Arts in Cupertino has seen two historic Apple events, and now a third is scheduled for September 9th at 10am Pacific Time. The original Mac was launched at this venue in 1984, and the iMac was revealed in 1998. Speculation is rampant that Apple has something big up their sleeve for 2014.

Invitations have been delivered to selected members of the media, confirming the date, time and venue but not much else. With a tag line stating "We wish we could say more," the fact that Apple is not using its preferred spot at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco this time around speaks volumes. While many agree a wearable device such as the iWatch is on its way, analysts are all over the map when it comes to predicting a timeline for release.

Older devices are no stranger to battery issues. As iPhones are charged and discharged, the battery will naturally lose some capacity over time. Apple has recognized that a range of iPhone 5 units with specific serial numbers can suddenly loose their charge.

For those experiencing the problem with their iPhone 5, Apple has offered to replace the battery free of charge. Since a specific range of serial numbers is affected, the company has set up a web page that makes it possible to check your device for eligibility under the replacement program.

Square has updated its money transferring app, Cash, to version 2.0. The update adds several improvements, like the ability to request or send money to anyone in your address book even if they do not have the app installed. The app has also received a makeover that promises to deliver a "faster sending interface". Other new features include the ability to import your address book, add notes to payments and receive push notifications for payments and requests.

Cash users have sent and received hundreds of millions of dollars through the app, according to Square. Square says people use their app to split dinner bills, group vacations and even pay for school supplies. Users can request money from up to 25 people at once, which is perfect for reminding the deadbeats in your fantasy football league that they still owe their entry fee.

It is going to be hard to top Star Wars: Tiny Death Star, but NimbleBit is going to try with Tiny Tower: Vegas. The new game in the popular Tiny Tower franchise will land on the Apple App Store this Thursday, August 28th.

For those who have never played Tiny Tower, it is a simulation game where players can build their own tower filled with tiny pixel people known as “bitizens”. The goal of the game is the build as many residential and commercial floors as possible to attract bitizens to move in and work in your tower. The game's developer, NimbleBit last year teamed up with Disney Mobile and LucasArts to release a Star Wars-themed version of the game called Tiny Death Star.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) trading showed some increased activity early last week as share prices closed at an all-time high of $100.53 on Tuesday. Previously the highest price was $100.30 (adjusted for the 7-to-1 stock split). The bump was likely due to optimism from Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty. In a note to investors, she wrote that iPhone 6 sales should be strong, but more interestingly, she expects Apple to ship 41 million iWatches by the end of the year, and possibly as many as 60 million. She also expects both products to enjoy healthy margins. Share price continued to rise for the rest of the week, closing on Friday at $101.32.

Morgan Stanley wasn't the only firm with a positive outlook on Apple. RBC analyst, Amit Daryanani, though he still holds his forecast at 56 million iPhone 6 sales before the end of the year, believes that new supply chain data could point to 70 to 80 million shipments by the end of 2014.
