Sounds like Apple's hobby is coming of age.

It looks like Samsung copied the general appearance of the iPhone, which, at the time, meant a major shift in paradigm, and this applies to the entire iPhone, or at least a large proportion of it. It is unlikely that such major shifts in paradigm wi…

I can't imagine it was Apple's intention for the carmakers to charge extra for CarPlay. Also, the carmakers tend to make no mention of CarPlay being supported or not. Each one of them may indicate that it is, using its own vague terminology, so as …

rare comment said: As much as moving from a biannual form factor clock will reduce the urgency of upgrading, it also has some real benefits. Note that any benefits to customers also benefit the company in the long run by building loyalty and …

IMHO one reason why Flash is still around is the Flash developers. For two reasons. (i) they have an invested in Flash and hope they will be able to use these skills for quite some time to come (ii) Instead of (wisely) proposing to their clients to …

The fact that the iPhone SE is not taken into account invalidates the result of this -already questionable- study.

Just let's wait and see. iPhone 4, 4s, 5 devices are now being replaced with 6s and 5SE in droves. I just went from a 3GS to a 6s. I wonder how long plastic iPhone lookalikes last.

Remember when Apple came out with Mac OS X, how quick Microsoft was to call its next OS: "XP"? They were afraid to look old fashioned without an X in the Windows version name. I just wonder how they will react now when Apple renames OSX to macOS. …

So they face-savingly lowered the 39000 rupees price to 999*24 = 24000 rupees. (Maybe better if the new lease plan also contains call minutes, texting and GBs, but I doubt it). They should have gone for 24000 rupees to begin with. $399 = 26000 rupee…

Split Screen, Split View, whatever. There is enough prior art in the 1970's, 80's, e.g., the IBM 3290, and even more prominently, Digital's VT100 ASCII terminal in 1983. These used escape sequences to switch split screen modes. Many IDEs have had Sp…

Why, oh why, does Apple apply an excessive markup in Europe. In the US, the iPhone SE is very affordable, but only marginally so in Europe. I hope they don't make the same mistake in other foreign markets.
-
In Europe the markup ABOVE sales tax (VAT) is substantial, e.g., in Belgium with 21%VAT: $399 * 1.21 = €429, but the sales price is €489 , €60 more than it should be !!! Note that any import taxes are from China, not from the US, so the situation is…

$30/mo for a "skinny bundle" won't be competitive in Europe. Maybe $15. One can get a skinny satellite bundle for €10/mo.

Apple, will, as usual, charge too much. For subscription services, it shouldn't. As a consequence, the new strategy iAd won't work. I am saying this, seeing that €10/mo for iTunes music is not cheap (except for real music lovers), because here we ca…

Maybe the new approach will counter the trend that most software (AND DOCUMENTATION/TUTORIALS) is iOS-only. Many frameworks or libraries are being developed that often rely unnecessarily on iOS-only functionality. E.g., UIKit and AppKit have a lot…

An optimistic guidance is good for Wall Street. It will just be easier to be disappointed, especially when growth will be just below guidance.
