If Apple said "water proof" then people will be throwing it in with their laundry, then come whining in store when water condensates inside the watch. The Galaxy s5 was advertised as "water proof", but that had so many conditions applied that it w…

It could provide a good foundation for places where Apple don't have complex maps, but since Here maps are just as spotty as Apple's original sources, detractors would paint this as mapgate 2.0 The question is simple: Use Here to provide a basic le…

My personal experience in mass production(1M-3M per launch) can give you some insights into your estimate/how production works: These kinds of sudden changes in availability are in a small part cancelled orders, but mostly the result of Apple work…

These figures only cast further down on Google's claimed market share for Android. The units might be out there, but they're not being used. (A pretty interesting tidbit considering that these devices would still be relatively new.) Google would ha…

Sandpaper/glasspaper is a misnomer, they don't contain sand or glass. It's a range of minerals, most often Aluminium Oxide (aka "sapphire"). Testing with sandpaper is pointless because you will very rarely have to deal with abrasion like that in the…

This save radio campaign has been thoroughly astroturfed over the social web. Analogue Radio is dead. Rip up that wireless bandwidth for more efficient data services. (Yes, just like Norway is doing right now, with Australia/Europe/Asia are around…

Their tablet effort was more than a subtle rip off of the iPad. Since most of their talent is gone(twice over, first by abandoning symbian, and secondly with the MS buy out) I'm not anticipating much more than more knock off products.

Analysts have a habit of making broad, over simplified assumptions from small pieces of data. (such as the ever unreliable "supply chain checks") this is no exception, it's so simple, it's inane. Seemingly ignoring obvious, well supported conclusion…

Like another commenter alluded to - yelp shouldn't be treating the watch as a mini-iphone. The screenshots provided show quite a bit of redundant information which is cluttering and distracting. I'm not seeing value in using this app on the watch v…

The maps thing is based on your region, some regions are clearly better than others. E.g. Google maps in china isn't so great. Use what's good for you instead of making blanket statements with your highly anecdotal experiences.

People constantly referencing the "high" price of the Apple watch don't know what they're talking about. A high quality stainless steel band costs thousands of dollars. Apple's stainless steel band is priced below $1,000. Despite that price it is …

This project smells rotten, and likely some level of influence/corruption. I can understand why a project may choose iPad or Surface at the start (although iPad was really the only viable choice back then.) I can't fathom a reason to switch half wa…

"Last Minute"... is ignorant of production planning and ramping. One doesn't just pick up a whole other chip foundry off the cuff. It's more likely that it was this way all along and the information, if true, was leaked only now.

There are plenty of good reasons why an organiser doesn't want these at their events, especially when there are a lot of people in attendance. They're a makeshift weapon. (A concern for things like Coachella.) Plus it's very easy to accidentally…

This upwards facing design seems focused on charging the watch in the middle of the day at your desk. Mophie aren't alone in this design, and I feel it misses the mark because it's a set up that would normally be used for a smartphone, not a watch. …

Australia has the highest percentage penetration of wireless NFC terminals and the highest rate of payment using those wireless terminals (nearly 2/3rds). Both representatives from Visa and Mastercard have already made mention of rolling out tokenis…

While this has very little to do with Apple, it's still amusing to see some of the ridiculous things people sue each other over. It's needless to say that Britto filing this complaint is a bad move, likely forced upon him for pride/reputational re…
