Fatman said: Probably no anti trust - just a huge price tag. The combination would be incredibly powerful. It would be great to have competitors pay Apple for content rights. Imagine 'Apple Land' as a section of Disney World or Apple product …

Was Beats a small niche tech company? Why yes it was. Especially considering the fact that the $3 billion that Apple paid was considered to be far more than Beats was worth. Beats entire product line: headphones, bluetooth speakers and a music …

"In addition to affecting Qualcomm directly, the loss of Apple's business would also make it more difficult for the chipmaker to aggressively advance its technology, as it would be left dependent upon Android devices that make up a shrinking segment…

@brakken: Actually, those "fools" do learn ... from the long list of companies that have partnered with Apple in the past only to be left high and dry - even to the point of bankruptcy - when Apple dumps them. And some have - allegedly - gone bankr…

This analysis is pretty good. Lenovo, HP and Dell target: enterprise professionals who buy laptops for home/business use people with serious educational needs i.e. STEM majors gamers Asus and Acer focus on cheaper devices. However: "PC vendors wi…

Another perspective here. Take a look at this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/263444/sales-of-apple-mac-computers-since-first-quarter-2006/ Kind of consistent, eh? Someone pointed out that Apple's sales numbers for the last 2 quarters are ra…

Honestly, this story has nothing to do with Android. For example, the Motorola Atrix wasn't "Continuum". It just offered a charging dock with HDMI out and a USB 2.0 hub for a laptop and mouse. Lots of Android devices had mini-HDMI ports in that era …

Apple's GPUs will only be used in Apple products. So, for this "prediction" to be true, Apple's products are going to have to somehow put Windows PCs out of business. You Apple fans have been predicting this for 25 years. Yet macOS has like 10%-15% …
