When I heard about Catalyst I joked that Apple would port messages from iOS to macOS since the macOS version does not work. Since macOS 10.14 + messages in the cloud. If you sync on macOS = messages on macOS stops to work. "internal error". This i…

Since I live in the area: The REAL reason why there is campaign against Apple in SEA is Tim and his politics and values that are not shared in the area. I understand that the US media tries to brainwash the people that Apple looses marketshare becau…

When will we address the fact that Apple is losing market share in non-western countries because of Tims political views? 190 countries in the world are not western. The things that Tim fights for, that are branded "good" in the west, do not seem th…

A9X would be a bit stupid. Remember that the chip in AppleTV historically have been harvested chips. Take3 had a single core A5. 4K have a "3 core" A10X. The A10X that do not pass validation for all cores, they are harvested for more/less free and p…

4K omission: The problem is airplay and 4K. The A8 chip inside AppleTV4 have a H265 encoder and decoder. This is again a problem with Apple not controlling hardware on their PC line. Intel added H265 decoding with Skylake and Apple dont have skylak…

Remember that MSFT is one of the few companies making money on mobile phones. They dont even have to sell a single phone and still rake in 2-4 billion/year in Android licesing. MSFT conned into getting Nokias patens. Now its RIMs turn.

Intel did put Apple in a strange situation. Broadwell for desktop have recently been announced = Apple could use it. The problem is that the fastest Broadwell for desktop includes Crystalwell. Crystalwell = generates heat + cost 100-300 dollar m…

Most people don't remember when Ericsson was top 1-3 phone vendors in the world. It was Ericsson that revolutionised the size of mobile phones with the 788 phone and had one of the first "smart phones". I worked for many years at Ericsson Radio syst…

You cant take chip designs from TSMC and go to Sammy and manufacture them. You need to do a complete new tapeout to do that. No company in history have done that with the same chip. No Nvidia/AMD chip for example have been fabbed at 2 different foun…

Is GTAT operated by Samsung? Same amount of fairness and competence. (like when Apple payed 4 billion to Samsung so they could build fabs for semiconductor parts and Samsung started to use the same parts for its own phones. Then brainwashed majority…

I pray for the day that we will leave the ancient X86 behind us. Real computers have used 64bit since 1990. Not because of %u201C4gig%u201D memory that most %u201CIT experts%u201D believe. No... 64bit run rightly compiled code faster than 32bit code…

No other company designs 2 different designs of the same chip. Apple cant take the A8 designs from TSMC and just have Samsung start to manufacture them. No: Apple needs to do a different design/tapeout/validation and so on. So its hightly unlikley …

"The inclusion of 802.11ac Wi-Fi would bring the next iPhone up to speed with Apple's current Mac " To bad that the NAND Flash in Apples iOS products are so slow. People harp about AC, USB3 and other stuff. Wont help syncing since you are lucky to …

Apple have a gross profit over 50% on iPhone. This works in USA where phones are subsidized. Most countries are moving away from subsidies since cheaper data/calls are more attractive for customers. In Euro countries an unlocked iphone const 1200…

Fun with AC WiFi. Do you think Samsung have addressed the slow NAND Flash in today phones? You are lucky to get 10Mbyte/80Mbit speed on them. Fun stuff like that when people wants 150Mbit LTE, 1.3Gbps WiFi, USB3 and so on and the Flash memory is …

I wish that Apple at least started to do what Google does with Gmail: Cache all pictures and stuff on their own servers. Today most spam gets validation thru HTML mail. Having picture/links cached on local servers stops this. I understand that Go…

The irony... Ericsson was in 1997 the worlds biggest cellphone company. They where the biggest base station company. Over 140000 employees. Then Ericsson hired ex Microsoft Rolf Skoglund as their IT officer. Until then every single worker had a U…

At least here in Sweden: When you buy a high end Samsung phone you get the Gear for free. An educated guess is that they have given away 750K and sold 50K.

Why can't Apple just let me rent all their stuff? "You can have the latest iPad. Always. Just 49 dollar/month". Just switching iPhone/iPad each year sets me back 2000 dollars (EU taxes). And I have to switch. Steve will be angry at me if I don't …
