    Why is Google in that list?

    Apple really needs to team up with IBM, integrate Watson with the new Siri a few of us know they are working on and completely destroy these scumbags.

    Siri could destroy Google if they get it right. 
    Because Apple and Google interests are more aligned than their fans are. Neither would be as successful without the other. I have little doubt that Mr. Cook and Mr. Pichai meet on a regular basis to discuss mutual business interests. All this supposed hate between the two is an invention driven by the minority extreme-edge fans IMO. Neither company is out to destroy the other. They have too much in common, but they don't mind one-upping each other given the opportunity

    Apple would be even more successful without IP theft.

    This is another of example of the Genius of Cook.

    Closing this deal with Nintendo is just the beginning of the Apple+Nintendo partnership. Cook is a master of closing deals. Great job Mr Cook
    This might remain iOS exclusive. Wish Apple would acquire the company as they share the same thinking a lot of times.

  • Fitbit's Pebble buyout valued at less than $40M, more about fighting Apple than product line

    Funny stuff.

    though I wonder why Apple doesn't pick up cheap companies. Maybe Apple doesn't need any of their talent.

    Except Pebble was a good company at a cheap price.

  • Supreme Court sides with Samsung over Apple, says payments shouldn't cover whole device profits [u]

    This case just about proves that it is more valuable when suing to not have ever produced the product and merely have a concept for it on paper. Apple will get less than $200 million for real infringement and loss against a real product where Smartflash LLC gets $532.9 million for doing nothing (well, maybe sketching something on a paper napkin).

     And something like that is closer to a "cupholder". An iPhone case is comparable to a cupholder, but the entire design/concept/tech?

     You can throw a couple older women still drive the car.

    ( I know this is a "design" case but I'm just sick of Samsung stealing and pretending they only took a small part of someone else's hard work while laughing to the bank. )

    Typical. Samsung gets to steal whatever IP they want.

    Remember Steve Jobs saying "and boy have we patented it !!!" on the original iPhone. I guess he had more faith in the patent system he should have.

    Latest news is S8 ditching 3.5mm headphone socket. And trying to beat Apple to the punch on a virtual home button. As usual Apple bears the brunt of "moving forward" with innovation and technology and Sammy just rides their coattails. I actually know people who've said, "you cannot play music on the new iPhone" until I patiently explained the situation.

    Thank Facebook, and other outlets of misinformation and sensationalism, for that (literally, so many people I know got in an uproar because of whatever ill-informed rubbish they read on StalkBook)
    Apple should establish a competing IP development company with the sole goal of working around Apple's own patents. This way they'd avoid the tunnel vision that tends to set in from working in a hermetic R&D environment and at the end of the day they'd own the rights to patents their competitors would otherwise use to undermine them.

    Think about it.

     Doesn't Apple still make profit from licensing tech to iKnockoffs? 

     Some companies like Samsung just don't want to play fair.

     Trump has been at war with Apple since he started his campaign. Of course there's concern and rightly so.

  • Super Mario Run demo stations installed in Apple Stores for pre-release play

    When Reggie said "available on" I payed close attention. I'm getting the feeling android is getting the game a lot later or not at all.

    "Available on iPhone and iPad", said Reggie.
    As it should be. I'm tired of people thinking iKnockoffs are just as good.
    We need to go back to the iPod days when if a device had a click wheel it was shunned as a cheap ripoff.

    Tim Cook's visit to Nintendo headquarters seemed to have been for exclusivity discussions. Not just to play the new Mario. The more exclusivity, the closer we get to people understanding that if it's not an iPhone it's not an iphone.

    Ideally Apple would buy Nintendo since they both need each other.

  • Apple exploring the possibility of moving iPhone manufacturing to United States

     Here's an idea: 

     Apple has manufacturing plants in every country they sell in. This would reduce shipping times and costs in the long run correct? 

    Or am I wrong ?

    Is Apple having a port identity crisis? Also notice these have headphone jacks. Aren't headphone jacks, like function keys, outdated technology?

    Shouldn't Apple be pushing Lightning 2.0? Are problems arising with USB-C? What the hell is going on?
    I think the lack of headphone jacks in the iP7 has more to do with improving the water resistance* and adding space for other components rather than any identity port crisis.

    *most water resistant android phones with the jack still leak pretty badly.
    That's not what Apple said. They said the jack was outdated and wireless was the future. Were they lying?

    water resistant androids are crap I know that.
