They will either exclude accessories and keep price same or include them and raise price - I find it hard to believe they would both exclude items and raise the price ... the media would have a field day with that scenario.

Epic’s stubbornness, and arrogance will hurt them more than help them. They can easily get by without supporting iOS and Mac - but why? It’s an additional revenue stream with minimal effort to support. And pulling this move before an iPhone super cy…

fu Gates you held back the entire industry with your monopolistic practices

Apple invented the modern smartphone hardware, OS, app store, development tools, and many of the underlying concepts. After many years they built a successful business and loyal customer base and they allow other companies to share in that success. …

Apple's major priorities include keeping margin high, increasing market share, maintaining control of their ecosystem. I suspect that this initial news and the 'outrage' that follows will bring both money-loving companies to the negotiating table to…

It's just one awful Chinese news story after another. We should blow the dust off our hydrogen bomb.... I honestly would never really think that - but China's immoral, arrogant, self centered ways are beyond frustrating - they have destroyed jobs gl…

ShapeshiftingFish said: I can't help but wonder what exactly would Chinese do with all that silly teens data. Did you watch/here about the Space X landing? Incredible, nearly flawless. Did you see all the people involved in the operations?…

Congrats fellow Appleinsiders! Happy day. I'm sure Apple financial wizes factored in post stock split price growth phenomenon. $100/share is more appealing to certain types of traders, which would drive up price for no other reason than more people …

Very one-sided. Ask a question to a tech company without wanting to hear the answer. I think Cook will leave pretty much unscathed, but Bezos is getting his ass kicked (and I don't mind). Amazon is a huge monopoly with policies that hurt Americans -…

For the life of me I cannot understand why Apple doesn’t sell ‘iMac matching’ Apple branded 21.5”and 27” 4K and 5k stand-alone monitors. They’ve had a gap in their offering for years - could charge a heavy premium (say $850 and $1400 respectively) a…

Microsoft invented and perfected ‘copy acquire kill’ ... they were 90 days away from killing off Apple after they stole their OS! Microsoft stifled innovation with their monopoly in computing for over 25 years. Intel did the same on the chip side wi…

Unprecedented times to bring equality to all - I'm fully on board and trying to do my (small) part. I'm not so certain the message of making noise, making trouble and getting in the way is the right one - we've had plenty of that with riots, demonst…

Good news for Apple - I’m actually quite surprised at the news. It will take time (and money) but at some point Apple will have another large services revenue stream. Sounds like there will continue to be bidding wars for content for a while ... a g…

Greyhound is entertaining, with a sense of tension that keeps you engaged and along for the ride with some very good special effects that are mostly believable. However it is not even close to an ‘award worthy’ film as implied in a prior post - it’s…

I thought the same ... why not the US! ... then read that 6000 new jobs would be created. Average factory pay in India is about $2/hr - some say even robot cost average $4/hr! As long as slave labor wages are an option, factories that need this man…

Coronavirus delays will cause loss in momentum for AppleTV+ After my free one year expires I'm currently not compelled enough to pay. It will take a couple of more years to start to catch up to Netflix's strong, diverse, high quality catalog. I jus…

Zoom is a Chinese government spy app, shouldn’t be deploying it at all anyway - there are PLENTY of other options with true end to end encryption that also don’t route through Chinese servers.

Frenemies ... Apple also is adopting VP9 and WebP and allowing users to select default browser and mail clients - it’s a balance.

The current Mac App Store is limping along - this change will breathe new life to Mac apps, the lifeblood of any OS. If MS Office (needed for legitimacy), and ‘big screen’ oriented Pro Creative Design, Audio and Video apps smoothly make the transiti…

I use a dedicated receiver/full surround on main TV, sounds great. I’ve been looking for a good quality atmos sound bar for a second TV to avoid another AV receiver/ multi speaker setup (I’m fine with a subwoofer - since that is critical - but don’t…
