What this article describes may seem damning to a layman, but is actually standard business practices. In many countries, even government linked companies try all the time to hijack and copy ideas from smaller companies. What’s new? It is just busin…

Any investor who invests using advice from analysts deserves to lose all his/ her money….

Do these “global numbers” include China?

Glad Tim Cook visited our little red dot. I was in Tiong Bahru yesterday too!

Apple Pay, Google, and now Facebook Pay... all these US companies are super late in the payment game. China has taken the lead in global digital payments 10 years ago. US is just a follower...

Apple Card is a killer app. Apple will sell future iPhones on instalment plans, which you can charge to your Apple Card. And then use the rebates to buy Apple TV+ subscriptions. Apple’s future is in subscriptions and instalments. Brilliant.

Nothing unusual - this is standard business practice. In a business negotiation, whoever has the stronger bargaining power would be an idiot not to use it. I would be appalled if Apple does not bully the mall landlords, given the cache that Apple …

That’s what I was thinking as well: Apple could have ambitions to become a publishing giant. After all, with Apple Arcade, Apple is co-funding the development of games. Apple could easily replicate this model with publishing and the news media.

leavingthebigg said: Since Apple fell 19.9% due to high prices, why did Xaomai fall 34.9% due to lower prices? That’s a very good question. I’ve been wondering the same too.

The subscription model is definitely the way going ahead. For all kinds of media that we consume on a daily basis - movies, music, sports, podcasts and especially games. This is a gargantuan market. And when the dust has cleared, there will be jus…

Munster is missing the big point: whether XS, XS Max or XR is the bestselling iPhone doesn’t even matter. What matters is that the ASP for all 2018 iPhones have increased this year from 2017. So whatever combination Apple sells, guess what, Apple’…

Apple would make it part of their wearables product offering.

For what it’s worth, if Warren Buffett buys ALL of Apple (which he wants to), the combined revenues from Apple and Berkshire will overtake Walmart. And profit? Well, insanely great profits.

Apple shouldn’t buy IBM. Their corporate cultures are vastly different.

If you watch “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D” on Netflix, you can see that MacBooks and iMacs are used almost exclusively. That’s effective product placement.

Why doesn’t Apple make Apple News available worldwide? I can’t get it in my country.
