Safari still leads in mobile browser share, but Facebook's browser is on the rise
but yes... "iOS" numbers would not be limited to phones... that would include all iPads and iPod touch devices as well.nunzy said:65.5% of Americans use iOS? Is that accurate?I thought that iPhone had around 35 or 40% of the American market. Does iPad make up the difference?
And the numbers are saying 65% of mobile WEB TRAFFIC... not 65% of mobile PHONES.

Apple will no longer report iPhone, Mac and iPad unit sales
I really don't care about GROWTH. So what of growth is stagnant... you're telling me they sold just as manny phones this year as they did last year?... that sounds fantastic to me! It wasn't even a "new" model year, "merely" an incremental improvement. The market is near saturated, yet they continue to sell just a s many phones!AppleInsider said:...
The change arrives as sales of iPhone, Apple's most important revenue driver, stagnate. During the most recent quarter, for example, iPhone sales growth was flat year-over-year. Last quarter, sales were up by a single percent from the same time last year.
...
If GROWTH is required to make a profit, then you have a bad business model.

Giant lines forming at Apple stores internationally in advance of iPhone X sales
My version of a "line" will be sitting on my back porch with a glass of scotch waiting for brown santa to ring my doorbell.

AirPods 2.0 -- What we expect & what we hope to see
I think they mean that the AirPods would be "always listening" for the "Hey Siri" command. Right now, you have to tap the earbud first to wake Siri up. (In other words, you'd be able to invoke Siri completely touch free via AirPods.)ihatescreennames said:I don’t really understand what AirPods wirh “Hey, Siri” means.

Microsoft Store loses eBook sales fight, will refund users & delete books in July
THIS is why DRM is a bad idea. (Yes, I know they're refunding people... but still... now they have to go re-buy something?, possibly at a higher price?... if it's even still available?)
I love the "ephemeral" (nod to dysamoria) digital media... but once I pay for it, I make a point of having a DRM free version of it.

Boeing 737 Max pilots didn't have flight simulators, and trained on iPads instead
It's not unstable. (by design or otherwise.) The airplane is controllable and capable of flying with no electrical power at all.poisednoise said:... I dont want to fly on a plane that is inherently unstable by design, as this one is, and requires software to ensure it remains in the air...Software is not required to ensure it remains in the air. (That statement would be valid for an Airbus.... you should avoid flying on them.)
The MCAS is in place to make the airplane "feel" nearly identical to the NG version of the plane (something it does surprisingly well!)... so that minimal training would be required to transition between the NG and MAX versions of the airplane. (This MCAS is not related to what you were comparing it to in modern fighter aircraft.)
The airplane would fly and perform just fine without MCAS, but would "feel" differently than older versions from a pilot's perspective.

It's been years,
Possibly because it got boring.SpamSandwich said:I don’t recognize your name, but looks like you were posting here at least 5 years after I was here. Why did you leave? ... Like Trumptman said above, the site used to be a lot more "useful" (and more exciting).
