I have seen this problem with the iPhone 6 (non-plus) model.

This is now basically over. The chance of the supreme court taking this are low to zero since it's not an area of law which they need to create a test case for: Either something infringes or it doesn't. Samsung claiming that the infringing portion…

Can you elaborate on the Siri ambiguity, what's outlined in the article and screen shots didn't seem ambiguous to me. i.e. replying with the words "outlet" doesn't really create ambiguity since from the interaction it's clear which outlet is being …

Ever noticed how you see ads in twos, the double exposure effect is a means of making a person remember an ad. Rhyme has a similar effect on copy, it makes the voice over more memorable. If one takes the time to create the links between the less m…

Both of these as trademarks are a fools game. "Tick different" is already too close to "Think different", the "one more thing" would be a weak trademark with due to plenty of use by their competition (Apple) and also existing as a cliche. If Swatc…

This would make sense if Samsung had a niche, not widely known and superior product. Instead anyone that has any chance of switching to another smart phone has likely had ample opportunity to pour over the samsung offerings, amongst the great many …

In all it's an amusing exercise: One company can copy another thoroughly. However, for time and scope, the court case requires that the effected company only try a few patents instead of all valid requests. The defendant is thus able to target jus…

Some argue that the problem with the patent system is that it's too easy to get obvious patents. That isn't so much the case as it's quite easy to have an obvious patent struck down - the true problem is that companies with deep pockets can largely…

Quote: I paid for the damn software. :-( I'm more pissed at Apple for not producing or providing that type of software for MacOS. They leave their OS vulnerable to the Apple community; not even a virus protector. Shame on them Here's the problem…

No one will buy the cow if the milk is free. So here we have Spotify, yet again blaming their inevitable changes on something other than their unsustainable business model. Today it's "Label Pressure" (they won't give it to us for free.) Spotify …

This is what companies do when they have trashed their brand. Since Google Ads still remains their primary source of income it will continue to fuel their haphazard experiments, they're merely looking to distract from that experimentation, which has…

There will be quite a different story in other English speaking markets. The limiting factor in the USA is the lack of wireless terminals, and with that user familiarity with using wireless payment. This simply doesn't exist outside of the US-borde…

Analysts are astonishingly off on iPhone estimates despite Apple supplying quarterly unit sales and reasonable supply chain cues (since there are only so many manufacturers who can put out such large production volumes, their sales are proportional …

Removing encryption from consumer devices has nothing to do with terrorists. 1. A terrorist can just roll their own encrypted vpn or chat, or simply employ one of many 3rd party networks 2. Recent terrorist acts were conducted without using encrypt…

The information available in this thread is absolute crud, Apple's involvement with USB-C is a large factor in its early success. 1. Apple were a huge contributor to the USB-C spec. 2. Apple put the first USB-C device in market, a device that has …

This reminds me when Eric Schmidt proudly touted that Android was more secure than the iPhone. It was laughable at the time and lampooned by the tech media, and rightly so - they were (and still are) regularly reporting serious Android security lap…

I don't think this is particularly directed at Google/Nest. As homekit devices become available, I can't imagine them stocking any non-homekit product when there is a homekit equivalent. Why would they want to sell devices that don't work with the…

Keep in mind that the average selling price of a PC is less than $400 (and that includes all the macs), the average selling price of an iPhone is above $600.

There are so many problems with the napkin-math being applied in this thread. You can't just say that the 49% year/year change is due to the watch, similarly you can't say that the 56% sequential change is all in watch sales (although it's a better …
