Augmented reality hitting mainstream with NY Times app and coverage of Winter Olympics! only for iOS 11 gear for now! Check out story on nytimes.com sketching how they’ll use AR.
Despite being a Mac user since 1992 I came late to the game with my first iPhone (1 year ago) and Apple Watch 3 (6 months ago). I thought my phone was the game changer for viewing around fifty received e-mails and text messages a day... but the Watch has proven far handier where I can be alerted to, or dismiss whatever, by simply raising my wrist and touching a button... leaving the phone in my pocket much of the day.
Pretty much the same here. My one and only iPhone is the 5s I bought months after the launch. I picked up an Apple Watch 3 GPS at the end of December after reading an article about heart monitoring. As I've had heart attacks, I thought it would be useful for that but wasn't expecting to use it for much more. I've been pleasantly surprised at how much I use it as a timer, to turn on/off my Phillips Hue lights, movement tracking, Apple Pay, notifications, etc. and now my phone sits in my pocket a lot more too.
Thank you, article a refuge of sanity in a particularly crazy day.
The whole "race" to US$ 1 trillion market cap is rather misleading click bait. Consider Amazon never once has bought back shares.... Apple will have soon bought back what $300 Billion... Saudi Arabia's Aramco could easily instantly surpass depending on IPO... Besides the history of past market cap leaders ain't pretty. I'm hoping Apple bucks the trend of GE, IBM, GM, US Steel, etc.
So if they hadn't bought the stock back would the price be more like $120 per share?
Very happy to see this as a long-APPL investor.
My only wishes are: A super-aggressive expanding of speakers ecosystem. Need more options including a tie-in with surround sound for TV.
I decided to go to Sonos instead of HomePods because even though Sonos is not that great at hooking their equipment up to non-Sonos equipment they are probably better than the HomePod . If the Hompod had an auxiliary line-in port I probably would have gone with it. i love the idea of using Two HomePods with my TV in stereo but how do I get the sound from my TV to the HomePod (no interest/need) to use AppleTV
So this is why Amazon stock is up 6% this morning and Apple is down 2%? At the rate things are going Amazon is going to be the first company to 1T valuation. Also since when does Wall Street care about Amazon’s ad business? You know it is possible to write a positive story about Apple’s ‘other’ segment without dinging it’s competitors.
I confess that I wasn't even aware that Amazon had an ad business until a short time ago, but I do know that I search for products first on Amazon, or I prefer my Google search results that link to Amazon. I did read that Amazon's ad business was having an impact on Google's ad business, though I'm not aware of how much.
Wall Street likes moats and monopolists, and they don't think that Apple has a proper moat.
Wall Street considers Apple to be in the gadget business and thinks someone else is going to come along and create a better gadget. Or Apple’s gadget will go out of fashion and people will move on to something else. There’s little Tim Cook or any other Apple exec has done to change that perception or to successfully argue that Apple does have a proper moat.
Always with the handwringing. It's almost like you don't read this forum that you've posted in thousands of times.

Just specify the HomePods as the audio output target on your Apple TV. (Get one.)

The real question is why it bothers you and others so much when DED compares Apple to its competitors? Most peculiar....
Not really. If he was confident about Apple he wouldn’t need to knock competitors in order to praise Apple. Amazon stock is up 22% year to date, Apple is down 5%; last 6 months: Apple up 3%, Amazon up 44%. I’m curious what article he’ll write when Amazon overtakes Apple as most valuable company in the world.
