Here in Australia, Apple Pay works everywhere - even vending machines because contactless PayPass cards are ubiquitous. Also ubiquitous is that the limit per transaction using Apple Pay is around $1,000 thanks to the biometric authentication with…

I rely on Elgato's EyeTV software with 4 tV tuners (2 from Elgato and the dual-tuner HD-HomeRun). I'll be very sad if the EyeTV product range is now orphaned. :-(

I think you're missing the fact that there is a huge number of iPad owners around the world with iPads much older than 2016. We have 2 version 1 iPads from 2010 and a 2011 iPad 2 in the house and it was only with the release of last year's 10.5" iPa…

Got my silver 256GB delivery 2-3 weeks pre-ordered. Had 2 computers refreshing the web page and an iPad and an iPhone both sitting running the store app. One of the Macs started working first at about 8 mins past the hour and I ordered the beastie…

freeper said:For goodness sakes, most Chromebooks don't even have touchscreens. Plenty of hybrid PCs have touchscreens - are trying to argue that makes them mobile devices and not PCs? freeper said:Chrome OS devices generally run on 2 GB …

freeper said:the devices' failure in the marketplace forced them to offer offline support and Android apps (which include but are not limited to other web browsers). So as you yourself admit, Chromebooks run Android apps and web apps so have…

freeper said:all iPads can now place and receive telephone calls, and some iPads have LTE! No they can't. Just like a PC or a Mac they can use chat apps like Skype or FaceTime, but they can't make phone calls or send SMS messages to non-Ap…

freeper said:even if Chrome Books run a web browser as an OS, it is still a PC OS. That says all we need to know about the completely arbitrary nature of your criteria of what makes a PC or a PC OS.

Typical of IDC to count Chrome Books (that run a web browser as an OS) and yet don't count Apple iPads (whose Average Selling Price is higher than that of PCs or ChromeBooks) in their numbers. If IDC and Gartner did include iPads in their PC numb…

So, Apple's iOS captured over a third (35%) the share that all Android phones and tablets managed worldwide according to Statcounter. Notice that iOS beat all Android devices in the USA with iOS at 25.7 percent, and Android at 21.2 percent ac…

Mikey, you should also mention the other analysts who agree with Tim Cook reporting that Apple Watch sales grew 60% YoY and again dominated the smartwatch market with 45.6% market share. The number 2, Samsung only managed 18% with FitBit on 17%, Ga…

Microsoft only managed to sell around 4 million Surface tablets in 12 months compared to Apple’s 46 million iPads. Microsoft has a VERY long way to go if it has any hope of catching up to Apple in tablets. We won't even mention how completel…

Umm, IDC is comparing the launch quarter last year of the Apple Watch with this quarter's lull before the launch of a new model. Are they for real? Have they never heard of seasonality? The truth of the matter is the Apple Watch has captured betw…

Um Roger, you do realise that if Foxconn had the same suicide rate as the rest of China (22 per 100,000), then there would be 286 suicides every year amongst the 1.2 million workers at Foxconn's Shenzhen complex - that's almost 1 suicide per day. B…

cessnapaul said: I've read that Apple is looking to take roughly 15bps per transaction which would 'take' roughly 30% of the merchant fee that the banks get (based on weighted average). I don't think ANY business would give up 30% of their RE…

Marvin said: They estimate around 39k developers can support themselves directly on the app stores. This is low compared to the millions of app development jobs. Some people call it a lottery but the odds are much higher than the lottery…

Also, I should mention that Android fans often excuse these low Android app Store figures on the fact that so many more Android Apps are "free" being supported by advertising. Well, unfortunately Android users are horrifically worse at generating a…
