So it isn't only the A15 processor upgrade with 5G and 4GB ram instead of 3GB, the screen also got stronger. And the battery improved significantly vs the SE 2020 (that was its weakest point). These are all really important for users wanting low cos…

"According to Apple, the new 2021 iPhone models feature sensor-shift optical image stabilization, and that's about it"This is inaccurate and underplaying the improvementsFrom @45m in the keynote: "Wide camera gathers 47% more light", and the ultra-w…

sirozha said: Huawei is China and China is Huawei. Read the story of Huawei. The IP theft by all Chinese companies is well documented. Moreover, the Chinese government requires surrender of the IP to the Chinese “partners” by Western compan…

This is just capricious use of power by Trump, unworthy of support. There doesn't seem to be any proof of misconduct by Huawei. Strategically it will backfire for the US as China will now be forced to cut its dependency on US technology. Apple alrea…

There is still to consider: 1) battery age (2017 model is not fresh from factory) and A10X is probably less efficient than A12 2) apart from 20% better performance, the A12 has the Neural Engine that may be mandatory for a future version of iOS or…

Spotify wants to raise prices and blame Apple for it. Not a pretty picture.

Buybacks are equivalent to (untaxed!) dividends. Compare a 1% buyback with a 1% dividend: 1) they cost the company the same dollar amount. 2) after the buyback you own 1% more of the company, exactly the same as if you reinvested the dividend (ignor…

Superficially, you would want Tim Cook to hold on to his shares, to signal trust in the future of the company. But as we saw in 2016, when AAPL dropped to $90, the stock price can be manipulated and that is a huge distraction when most of your net w…

District Judge Lucy Koh should recuse *herself* from the case because she is biased against Apple, as is clear from several earlier trials.

Quarterly reports invite short term thinking. It may be a good idea to publish only HY and FY reports, and report only minimal information at Q1 and Q3. This would send the right signal about the way Apple is running the business. It would save a lo…

Apple buys back its own stock. Now it can buy more shares for the same amount (as can anyone, of course, if they wish). This is positive for shareholders, as opposed to traders who may be scared into abandoning the trade with a loss. For the manipul…

As the test, whatever the merits of the methodology, is the same on the iPhone 8 as it was on the iPhone 7, it is undeniably useful. The iPhone 8 shows some improvements compared to the previous model, and that's nice. It is not invulnerable to scra…

The Series 3 GPS has 8GB Flash, the same as the older models, according to the Apple site, so it will be 2GB. This is 13-26 hours of music or so, depending on quality-settings. The modest $70 premium for the Cellular model with 16GB makes it attr…

I had the 'Music' complication on my ('Modular') watchface. This does not work well onder Watchos 4, because it does not handle the music from my iPhone. I changed the complication to 'Current' ('Huidige' in Dutch, I assume 'Current' is the name in …

Intel has to be afraid by now: it would not be outlandish to think Apple is going to use its own silicon for its own server farms (iCloud, Siri), which would call into question Intels future. Small error in the table: the iPhone SE has the same 2…
