Q2 will be in-line with the already reduced expectations based on Apple's estimates that were lower than the consensus at the time. Q3 will be interesting. Q3 iPhone unit sales for the past three years have been 47.5M, 40.4M, and 41.0M. Q1/18 uni…

Not surprising. Those that wanted an iPhone X typically had the disposable income to get one as soon as possible. They also know the new models will be out in less than six months and the exclusivity of the original X will be replaced by whatever …

While the iPhone X (2017) may turn out to be a one-year device, I think there is pretty much zero chance we won't see an iPhone X2 (XS?). The X may or may not be selling as many as originally anticipated but it certainly is selling at a rate that i…

Remember the consensus estimates for Q2 turned out to be too high and had to be revised down when Apple issued their official estimates at the last earnings call. Also, the units sold estimates for Q1 also turned out to be overestimated (82 million…

One thing to remember is Consumer Reports generally favors the initial experience of products. Both phones are wonderful pieces of technology, but Apple's will be current for a much longer period of time as it gets iOS updates for potentially five …

Shouldn't Apple be able to sue GrayKey completely out of existence? If a former Apple security specialist is a founder of the company and they are able to easily defeat Apple's encryption methods then it seems very likely that Mr. Thomas brought pr…

I'll pay $700 for a really good phone, heck I'll pay $800 if the storage capacity is high enough. That's where my line is drawn though. If they'll offer the 6.1" LCD device in the $699 - $749 range I do think a majority of purchasers in FY 2019 wi…

Good comparison, thanks. If I were forced to buy a new phone right now it would have to be the Galaxy S9+ as the real-life performance difference is negligible and it is $160 cheaper than the smaller iPhone X. Fortunately I'm good until this fall …

I got an iPad 3 as soon as it was released. The Retina display is what finally convinced me it was worthwhile. It was one of the best purchases I ever made as it lasted over five years before being replaced. It still does duty as the device where…

Does Foxconn get paid that much more just assembling an iPhone X vs. an iPhone 8 or an iPhone 7? Apple sources most of its components directly so Foxconn isn't making a profit off the higher cost A11 processor, the AMOLED screen, or the FaceID modu…

Battery health says my capacity on my iPhone 6 with its original battery is at 80%. Sounds about right. Nothing about throttling, but I've got a feeling I'll get a random shutdown pretty soon and it will be activated. Gonna get the $30 replacemen…

I think December quarter sales for the iPad were pretty good, mainly due to the big box retailers offering them for $249 during the holiday season. You know they weren't losing money on the sale so it is possible for Apple to market a refreshed mod…

Even without an official backdoor the system has already been hacked by GrayKey. Imagine how trivial it would be for some nefarious organization (like China or North Korea) to find a deliberate backdoor and exploit it. This would be infinitely mor…

OneDrive works for me. Office 365 is $7 a month for 1TB of storage and access to the entire suite of Office applications on one desktop device as well as one mobile device. Their iOS app works well for my purposes too. iCloud also works good, but…

Anyone who uses Facebook for their news source deserves to remain confused and ignorant. Half the crap posted is false and misleading. Anytime my wife says "look what so-and-so posted on Facebook" I immediately ask if she has verified it with Snop…

The 6.1" LCD device was originally rumored by Ming to be $650 - $750. That was revised up to the $700 - $800 range later. Assuming the article is correct and the 5.8" OLED device is the lowest cost I don't think those rumors can be reconciled. Ev…
