lenn said: China has been taking advantage of the US markets for many decades restricting/charging huge tariffs for products made in the US and past US Presidents and Congress have done NOTHING to change this. President Trump has said enough…

tmay said: In my opinion, you make the error that Apple is attempting to increase stock price. Apple's primary goal is to retire as much stock as possible until they are net cash neutral, and that's proposed to be a seven year pat…

anantksundaram said: ... Another pointless and ill-informed set of thoughts. One, it is the job of a CEO to sniff out such changes in consumer sentiment, especially in a market that accounts for 20% of his revenue. Two, other US consume…

anantksundaram said: Clearly something happened within the last month or so that Apple execs didn’t see coming. This to me is the MOST concerning thing. It suggests to me that it’s not trade (old news, if anything tariffs have been del…

SpamSandwich said: The overreliance on China for manufacturing and growth put company earnings at risk. What bugs me is Tim Cook was on an advisory council to the White House, so he should’ve seen the tariffs and trade issues coming from far …

“After around 45 minutes of gameplay, the battery life was at 82 percent, meaning it used less power than the iPhone XR for a similar-length gameplay period.” - actually, it’s pretty much a toss-up: the Note 9 has a 4000mAh battery and used 720mAh. …

I’m all in on the Apple ecosystem but have to agree with those who think the Apple TV is not one of Apple’s best products. My biggest beef, really, has come recently: I bought two Apple HomePods and paired them so I could use them as a replacement…

Good points - but what’s with your obsession with VPN and banking? No, you don’t need VPN to do banking securely. When I first got the X, I missed the percentage indicator most. But not so important to me anymore. The lack of indication when Air…

Aside from what others have already stated about OLED being more efficient than equivalent resolution LCD (due to no need for constant backlighting), the author’s choice of using an iPhone X vs. Xs to make his point is also a bit silly - didn’t he k…

Latko said: Nice article. However, the route from AR to Airpods seems...hard to follow. AR will require far better and faster (& more affordable) graphics and that’s hardly Apple’s tradition, sadly. There’s a few nuts to crack here and …

"HiSilicon advised it was planning to spend a minimum of $300 million on a system-on-chip design using 7-nanometer technology, illustrating the potentially high costs involved in working at that level." I have no idea what the author is talking abo…

Not really surprising to me. I have an AW2 (only because my AW1 cracked falling out of a locker face down) and it's main/only improvement over the AW1 (other than a little better responsiveness) is its water resistance (maybe it also has GPS but I …

I see this dialog every time I bring the iPhone out of sleep :-( A little disturbing to see these kinds of problems in such a late beta. I’m actually encountering an even worse one in this late beta: my phone crashes/reboots whenever I view a comp…

I've had the original Apple Watch - and would still have it, if it hadn't fallen, face down, out of a gym locker onto tile floor :-( Then I got the AW2. It's water resistant (so I'm not sure why author thinks that's new for AW3) and a bit faster t…

I guess ignorance is bliss - didn't know that scraping metal at the bottom of the port could do any damage - so a straightened paper clip has always worked for me. Not sure I'll go to something more 'gentle' because of this article :-)

"The move may be self-serving for Apple beyond environmental stewardship. The company is said to be looking at three locations in or near the DC metropolitan area for its second headquarters." - well, maybe it isn't. The link you use for your self-…
