By moving Photos to the cloud, reducing the size of apps and updates this will allow a 16GB iPhone to be a sensible choice for a price-conscious buyer. Currently a decent library of photos and apps would fill the device and prevent any attempts at …

I noticed this as well, but it seems an obvious one - the focus is streaming services, iPods have even less relevance there.

It's pretty amusing that Amazon can carry on with their business for the longest duration of time and eat up more than 90% of the eBook market, to the vocal condemnation of writers, publishers and reduction of physical book stores. Yet the moment a…

I'm curious what happens to iTunes Match, since Match is a music product, but not really related to the streaming offer. (Other than Match removing ads from iTunes radio.)

If you think about it, the backend of this service would also allow a watch running on a separate wifi network to communicate with a phone regardless if it's on cellular or another wifi network.

I think people forget what Apple maps was like under google: The POI was overpopulated with closed businesses so google could claim a high number of listings. The mapping was "ok" outside of the USA, but certainly not what I would call great or t…

When Apple entered the book market, Amazon took the opportunity to switch to a pricing model which makes them more money, then made an "anonymous" complaint which led to the case against Apple, a case that hinged on average sale price pre and post A…

Ah the Verge, no surprise there - they're also the ones that spotify were utilising to drum up some version of antitrust. "Anonymous music execs" my ass. It's pay for placement by Spotify. Apple Music won't kill spotify's free (and money-losing) …

I'm pretty sure the drama came about because while these streams are free to view at altconf, the other events at altconf are not free. It's funny how people will hate on apple for apple taking issue when 3rd parties create pay-for competitors that…

Samsung's product differentiations are of little value or meaning to a buyer. Especially in such a crowded market. Previously Samsung's larger screen was a real point of difference in their product, with that differentiating factor gone it's no su…

If it was just for earphone sharing, then they would have just used capacitance. Instead potential use cases seem to be much wider. With Apple's focus on flexible electronics having an intelligent and accurate way to measure bend allows for some g…

It seems I'm not the only one that thought google's IO was either yawn-inducing, or transparent attempts at upping the level of privacy invasion seemingly solely for the purpose of further profiling customers. Many aspects remind me of Microsoft wh…

Tim's comments aren't wrong, it's just a matter of OLED tech catching up to the colour accuracy of LCD.

I eagerly await for when Google decides this is not part of their core platform offering and dumps the feature with 30 days notice for everyone to download their images. Oh hello, Picasa, reader, voice et. al.

I wonder how google feels having to develop all of these kits which are outside their business and comfort zone. See these product make sense for apple, because they sell hardware. For Google, these are just extensions to Android, which is an arms …

It seemed logical that Apple would use a portion of their cut on marketing programs. A logical connection is Tunes store content. (Where apple again uses a portion of their cut for marketing, e.g. iTunes cards are discounted by as much as 20% in sup…

"because we can't be who we used to be anymore, which sucked" This is a common line I hear from companies that are "disrupted", but the truth is it really says, "we were complacent", "we charged too much for too little", "we were so slow that a com…

The behaviour looks like a bug in your tests, in other test's it seems like the time period was being stretched to an hour during periods of inactivity. It could be a mixture of factors since apple didn't go into detail about what changes they made…
