  • Supply chain suggests Apple to see better-than-expected holiday season, analyst says

    blitz1blitz1
    I was 9 yrs with Apple's iPhone.
    Halo and all that stuff (iMac, iPad, a couple of iPhones - skipped the 5 series, iPad Pro)

    Just today, I bought my first Android phone. Costed me less than 200USD and it features a superb 13MP camera, Snapdragon quad core, 2Gb RAM, ... performance is terrific.

    All the apps work alike on iPhone and Android.
    Some seem to work better on Android (better integration of functions - Apple is still closing some stuff - yes, I know, you'll say with good reason, we've been there before).

    I guess, I realized that it's been a couple of years that there's nothing special to a smartphone.
    That it's become since long ago a commodity.

    Let's see how I can sync my calendar and contacts. I'll be just fine... paying 600USD less

    Lesson #1: When you live off or steal other people's designs and IP, you destroy, or at least demean, your own design capabilities. You can't build it back up overnight.

    Lesson #2: Quality, quality, quality. No compromises. Quality "costs" what it costs in the short run, but it works out cheaper in the long run.

    Lesson #3: Customer, customer, customer. Once gone, they don't come back easily. Especially when there are alternatives. 

    From here on, Samsung slowly dies. Period.
    A bit idiotic to claim that Samsung doesn't invest in IP. 
    The 2 other remarks are generic enough to be applicable to any company. No kudos for that...

  • Trump's 25% smartphone tariff starts just in time for the iPhone 17

    In less than a week, Apple has proved to be extremely vulnerable. 

    Its supply chain is under attack by tariff's.
    Its flagship product is under attack by its former star employee.
    Its AI is nowhere to be found.

    Apple is under enormous pressure and let's see how M. Cook can address it.

    These days at Apple, innovation means little more than variants.
    i stopped holding my breath with the introduction of "new" products
