In India, AppleTV subscription priced at 99 rupees a month ( less than US$1.50), according to Bloomberg. Range of handset offerrings, Mumbai store in 2020... long time coming, but finally looking better

Continuing back of envelope: Year 2, more and better programming entices new subscribers to offset the free subscribers who don't renew. Apple attracts more talent and more top scripts more easily. Year 3: With bigger unique library, and possibly so…

Didn't Cook say AppleTV was launching in 100 countries? Now when you consider 100-150 million users minimum the first year, and $5 month subscription, that boggles the mind. Apple will do in a year what it took Netflix more than a decade...

Prediction: That slick black leather Hermes watch, with the continual watchface, will find more high-end buyers than ever.

Live blog of event also topped Most Read list of the Guardian when I checked. Surprised me. (Blog kinda snarky though, the section I skimmed. But at least more free publicity.) Great day for Apple. You can't buy this type of advertising!

You can slice and dice App Store search in numerous ways. Like lists of top sellers by category. Or similar apps. If APPLE store so biased, then why is there such diversity in app offerings? How has Swedish spotify grown to No. 1? Pretty lame that N…

What's next? That Apple should just sell a blank screen phone with nothing installed but a frustrated emoji. Right.

What's new this year? Europe. Europe. Europe. The opportunity to pick up big gains in the prosperous underserved region, due to Huawei woes, which will hurt its handset sales more in EU than China. Let's see if Apple's new offerings can pick up at l…

At risk of stating obvious, the App Store growth comes in at least two reinforcing ways: the size and trustworthiness of the network and, as some analysts forget, the capability of the device. So now first gen AR apps are flourishing; games requirin…

Google and Facebook deserve top priority scrutiny. Amazon and Apple aren't a threat to valid elections. Irony is the former group superdominate largely due to approved acquisitions (youtube, doubleclick, instagram)

You could tell by the timing-- week before Apple's big day-- that other motives at play. Tisk tisk Larry and Sundar. Don't be surprised if your TAC rises next Q.

Not familiar with this app. But some of the top 20 apps in Navigation category have dual-use capability. I got one (Spyglass) which uses AR to help navigate off trails. If Apple succumbs to this broad request, when will it stop?

In my case, even though I made Applecard the default (and it indeed worked with Etsy transaction) all my iTunes and App Store transactions via ApplePay would default to my Former top card, cheating me of additional cash back. Suffice it to say, I'm …

Apple's September event timing is key too. They can purge old inventory satisfying August back to school sales. Yet they have a long runway until Christmas holiday sales. Rivals Samsung, Microsoft, Google have to take less optimum slots at either en…

Ha! First time I've actually seen a shot of DED infamous foil Trimp Pickle, aka Tripp Mickle.

Footnote. NYTimes recently offered me $4 month trial deal. I paid w ApplePay. Took screenshot of confirmation of payment, and received welcoming emails. Then NYT sent me email saying payment didnt go through. Impossible. in limbo now. It could be N…

" According to eMarketer, Starbucks' system is the most used app in the U.S. with 23.4 million users, the report said. Apple Pay is a close second with 22 million users and is followed by Google Pay's 11.1 million adopters." ......I saw recent piece…

Slightly OT, but I was happy to see Apple immediately credited my hike today and gave me National Parks badge. So if 100 million iphone users in US and one tenth have watches and one in ten of Watch owners take a hike or 3 mile walk, that's 1 millio…

That this "humble card" is more than a card was evident when I downloaded Etsy app and looked for artisan stoneware coffee mugs. The ecommerce was nearly perfect with some random potter in the Cascades. My new Applecard automatically offered my choi…

I opted for the wholly virtual embodiment. Immutable luster, I hope. Funny both Wapo and Guardian and no doubt countless others have stories on this. You know what they say about publicity...
