    Looks nice but also seems A bit self indulgent? Not sure exactly how I feel about this...
    Trust me;  you hate it, especially if anyone who had anything to do with the Beats acquisition has touched a copy. 
    I don't hate it I just don't get the point of it, at least not as something for sale. Maybe if it was on display in the new campus or something. I dunno just seeems a bit tone deaf right now.
  • Launch day iPhone 7 Plus, jet black iPhone 7 allotment sold out, Apple says

    It seriously amazes me that Apple always seems to be supply constrained these days considering a supply chain guru is CEO and his right hand operations man is COO.
    1) These days? WTF are you smoking?

    2) Every fucking year you act surprised by normal supply and demand issues with a new product. Every fucking year the basics of given to you, and every fucking year you choose not to understand that Apple's supply is affect by both customer demand and that demand pressure is affected by the number of items it can build. Every fucking year.
    Sorry but throwing the f-bomb every other word doesn't make your point more valid. New iPhones on sale September 16*

    *except most black models which won't be available; oh and we recommend against walk-ins as most stores won't have an stock. 

    The jet black phone was essentially sold out before anyone could even order it which means next to no supply. Last year Apple announced the phone on 9/9 but they didn't go on sale until 9/25. Perhaps they should have done that this year to give them an extra week to ramp up supply.
    Did you or did you not want the iPhone Upgrade Program members to get choices before people that walk in off the street.

    2) Again, what part of supply v demand do you not fucking understand?
    This isn't a demand issue it's a supply issue. 
    :face-fucking-palm:
    When a phone is sold out the minute it goes on sale there clearly weren't many for sale to begin with. Keep cursing all you want doesn't make your argument superior.

  • Apple counsel attacks Spotify complaints as 'rumors and half-truths'

    Apple could have done things differently - shown variety of streaming services (including its own) within the pop up on the Music App, so it was on an equal footing. Instead it only advertises Apple Music. Apple has an inbuilt advantage and actively exploiting it in a way which undermines competition.

    I expect, frankly, this cannot continue in the way it is now. I expect the EUropean COmmission to investigate properly and intervene like it did with IE on Windows - it'll take years and may end up a nul and void point, but i think Spotify has a point. 
    Why would Apple advertise competition on it's own app? That doesn't make any sense. Apple has every right to advertise its own services on their own apps. There is nothing unfair about that. What is there to investigate? What you are saying is basically like saying Ford should be advertising GM vehicles on Ford's own website. 
    Well Apple could have made a separate Music app that you download from the App Store vs. updating the stock music app that is installed on everyone's device.

  • Apple warns investors it won't announce iPhone 7 opening weekend sales

    So basically Apple is saying launch weekend orders will be the same or less than last year and that's really not anything worthy of a press release.

  • Editorial: Sorry Android bloggers, but Samsung's Galaxy S7 didn't outsell Apple's iPhone 6s

    Hey trolls, you need some better material (and some original usernames that don't sound like a child picked). I enjoy owning you as much as the next person, but lately dealing with you all is like playing checkers with a 5 year old. Sure you win every time, but there's no satisfaction.

    So please step up your game. This is getting boring.
    Honestly it's DED who needs to step up. He can do better.

  • Apple captures more than 103% of smartphone profits in Q3 despite shrinking shipments

    This headline is stupid. You can't capture more than 100% of something.

  • Spotify says Apple rejected update over App Store policies, 'causing grave harm' to service

    I'm glad Spotify is doing this. Apple should allow subscription apps to offer a redirect to the browser to sign up. There's no reason Apple should be taking 30% of someone's monthly Spotify fee. They're not hosting any content. And it certainly doesn't cost them $3 to process the credit card transaction. Google allows alternate payment methods. Apple should do the same. How hard would it be for Spotify to have a link in the app that takes you out to Safari to sign up? It wouldn't be. This is all about $$$ for Apple.
