Let's see. $15 a month = $180 year. 250,000,000 million subscribers x $180 = $45,000,000,000 or $45 billion in gross annual subscription revenue. Overall cost for content acquisition is estimated by the analyst at 70%? Why is that assumption consid…

The article is an attention-getting joke. Apple is running a contest clearly aimed at the average IPhone user, not soliciting submissions from professional photographers. Don't like the lack of prize money or Apple hardware or whatever for the winne…

How good Apple Maps is seems to depend a lot on where you live. In southern Ontario and northeastern U.S.A where I'm mostly using it, Maps has been very useful and rarely confusing in its directions. Speed limits are shown and recently the alternati…

What a waste of time reading this story. Why does Appleinsider recycle this kind of crap. Digitimes? Based on its sources? I don't need sources to predict that if a given Apple Iphone doesn't sell well that orders for its parts will soon be reduced.

Like others, I am thinking that Bloomberg better soon show more substance to its original report of doctored motherboards being used in Apple, etc., data center servers or the loss of credibility will be significant and long-term. It's starting to l…

What I'd like to know is by how much (by percentage/bar graph?) Apple is throttling performance in order to preserve battery life in iPhones deemed to need this. By 5%, 10%, 40%, more? It would be nice to have some sort of app or metering displayed…

I'd like to see Apple add another biometric scan option to Face ID. Maybe, something that will sense skin temperature or pick up a heart rate. With Apple's lauded expertise with its watch's accuracy in detecting heart rates, this should be doable. I…

Just based on the review, the Ionic appears to fall into the no-man's land (no person's land?) of being neither a high-end sports watch nor a high-end smartwatch. And they want $300 for it? Good luck on that. I use a high-end sports watch (Garmin Fe…

Sure, why don't they call it the "We smart" bar or the "Just Like Apple" bar or the "Copycat Lounge." Can't wait until Apple can cut Samsung out entirely as a supplier.

For weeks now, we've been reading stories with a common, unimaginative theme – The iPhone X is too expensive – although the herd of tech reviewers, analysts and unnamed "critics" singing this song seldom went out on the limb of predicting poor sales…

We are already at the point where some websites do not work or work poorly or even lock you out completely if you using an ad blocker or are limiting cookies or tracking in some way. I've been experimenting with Ghostery, as well as Safari and Firef…

I'm guessing we're now seeing the end of the two year "tick tock" cycle of IPhone model introduction, followed by an update with the "S" designation. It's really been a marketing failure as too many in the media pan the "S" model as a minor update a…

Is it possible we'll see partnerships in streaming video/music? Apple Music+ Apple TV + Netflix + ESPN for one monthly price would be fine for me. Don't know how technically feasible this is. Financially, it makes more sense than numerous separate s…

I think they are going to have to buy a major video content producer to be a significant player in this space. If Netflix is out of the question because of current cost, what about Disney? Sony? Alternatively, if Apple could get enough content provi…

Does anybody have any insight into how much of Apple's foreign cash is liable for payment of taxes (eventually) in the U.S. as opposed to other countries? One would think it would be a relatively easy matter for Apple to determine how much of its pr…

If there is someone out there with some more expertise in EU tax law than I have (near zero), could you take a run at the question I have. My understanding is that Apple's argument (and I suspect, the U.S. government's) is that the $17 billion Apple…

I’ve used a Fenix 3 for over a year and found it excels for hiking/trail running, road and treadmill running, cycling indoors and outside, and swimming. The bigger battery means you’ll be able to run the GPS as long as eight or nine hours, sometimes…

There are several problems, as I see it, with the J.D. Power survey, and DED certainly got at some of them. The big one is what really is being compared? The satisfaction level of Microsoft Surface Pro buyers with the satisfaction level of IPad buye…

If you were going to use the IPad Pro for photo display, for example, how easy would it be to connect your database of photos (on an SSD, for example), to the iPad? Or are you limited to some sort of camera connector or SD card connector?

The Apple watch is a threat to any company that makes watches in its price range. While seemingly not a direct competitor to luxury watches in the $20,000-plus price range, I think it will chip away at those markets as well. The Apple watch is an at…
