"The gap between Apple's income and shipments is presumably linked to high prices." Presumably??? More like definitely, and obviously - like goes-without-saying-obviously. There is nothing to presume because there is literally no other possible…

"Apple, which in its earnings Tuesday reported that it sold 11.5 million iPad units in the quarter compared to 9.1 million the year before" This is not accurate. They sold 11.5 million in the most recent quarter, compared to 11.4 million in the …

Wow, seriously? Why on earth do you think those holes are supposed to represent the Smart Connector, which is a single set of 3 holes? This image shows two sets of 12 holes... which are quite obviously supposed to be the speaker holes. Oh wait,…

I guess I understand why every article about the iOS beta includes a dire warning about not running it on your primary device, but it's actually been incredibly stable. Sure there are a couple of bugs, but nothing that interferes with the basic fun…

I am baffled by these rumors that suggest the new "X Plus" will cost less than the current X, and that the new 5.8 inch OLED phone will be even lower than that. Why would Apple drop prices so drastically when they are seeing such strong sales at th…

AppleInsider said: Apple, according to its earnings last week, sold 52.2 million iPhones in the March quarter. Assuming Canalys is using the same three-month period, that means about one-tenth of the worldwide iPhone market was in Europe. …

You say, "Mickle initially cited copycat numbers: a 50 percent cut from "roughly 40 million initially planned" to "about 20 million," before casually adding that "other people familiar with the iPhone supply chain said Apple had cut orders for compo…

"Apple users may value more on better specs than extra budget, the report states." This is a very awkwardly worded sentence.

I don't get the headline. Why point out that it's both HomeKit AND Siri ready? Don't those go hand in hand?

You can't be bothered to update your article from yesterday in light of the fact that the Prime Video app for TVOS came out today?

slurpy said: Aren't 3rd party keyboard ones of the "best" parts of Androids? They were definitely at the top of "why iPhones suck" bullet point lists for years. Incredibly (not so incredibly) I haven't seen a SINGLE iPhone user in the wild us…

It would be nice if this article (or any other article on this subject) gave some clue as to what connection there is between returns, a month in advance of the expected launch, and black market iPhones. If there is such demand, why would anyone re…

rogifan_new said: Don’t get greedy Apple. No Apple Watch Edition stupidity. Remember how successful the iPhone SE was in comparison to the 5C. People will pay a “premium” but don’t want to feel like they’re being gouged. Don’t give consumers …

I don't buy it. I think we'll see the same thing that happened with the original iPad. There were months of rumors about how incredibly expensive it would be - some saying $1000 or more (sound familiar?) and then when it was announced at $499, peo…

"Its per-foot performance is likely due to a combination of online and offline sales, plus the value of its electronics." Why on earth would the brick-and-mortar sales figures include online sales? How does that make any sense? And what is mean…
