  • Editorial: Apple faces entirely new challenges with Apple TV+

    doctwelvedoctwelve
    Creating content isn't a spend once and money blown scenario. Look how much cash Friends and Seinfeld are still generating. Apple is providing different avenues of content services and you can bet a bundle package is on its way. If they have a couple of shows I want to watch and it's an extra couple of bucks a month on top of my Apple music then, yeah, I'll pay for that and Apple has me deeper and deeper in their world. Netflix should be scared.

    There's also the point that Apple can now control some of the public narrative. They think someone like Oprah is worth listening to, they can help make that happen. Less about making money and more about having voices heard.

  • Apple clarifies Safari Safe Browsing feature following Tencent data reports [u]

    I put this squarely on AppleInsider’s editorial staff. They ran with this very clickable, scary China article before checking the facts. They didn't want to be scooped by MacRumors or 9to5Mac. Only now comes the update after the usual trolls here jumped on it.

    Apple does not send your browsing habits to Google or Tencent. Instead Apple compares the URL against databases it obtained from Google and Tencent. Nothing leaves Apple. You are not tracked by Google or Tencent. Apple is merely using lists of suspicious websites it has in its possession to warn the user that the website they are visiting may be compromised. End of story.

    Yet another gotcha story planted to stir the pot and all the Apple tech blogs took the bait without investigating. It was on the Internet so it must be true, right? Is that how online tech journalism works? God help us all.
    Exactly this. I thought AI was better than this. I've enjoyed their editorials bashing sites doing exactly this and they're now guilty of it. What you wrote here is the REAL STORY behind today's mis-events. For shame AI.... for shame...

  • Apple services & Apple Card 'too late to the game,' HSBC downgrades stock

    doctwelvedoctwelve
    As the building of a lifestyle brand that increasing locks people into an ecosystem, the Apple card is huge. So intimately tied to the iPhone, it almost guarantees customers who adopt it will never leave the Apple compound. ANALysts also said Apple Pay would not take off and I was shocked to see how broadly it is now accepted and used globally. 

    All these posts make me glad I'm not the only person who sees how insane these predictions are. As someone said, thanks for the buying opportunity. Wouldn't mind if Apple dipped to a $100 a share for a month to be honest. :D
