cgWerks said: I sort of agree, but they could certainly stage it. They just released the new Mac Pro they took so long on. Do you think they'll just announce ARM at WWDC and then go, sorry all you folks who just bought your $5k+++ Mac Pro, we'r…

mdriftmeyer said: Apple switched to Intel because PowerPC was dead for the consumer space. They had to bet the farm on it. Apple isn't switching to ARM. They are augmenting their product lines with other ARM designs. Not likely. Apple …

elijahg said: ARM is great for power saving, and in some tasks they exceed the slower Intel CPUs. But there are other tasks they're much slower at, and generally even the best ARM CPU is miles off the mid range Intel ones. I don't really see …

davgreg said: Is it possible that Apple is going to in-house CPUs, just not made by Intel? Apple has the resources and market scale to get custom x86 chips done. To what end? Supporting the legacy Intel x64 instruction set is part of the…

melgross said: It’s interesting that Apple chose to save a greater percentage of power than they did to increase performance. It’s a choice. Next year they may decide to go the other way. Apple’s decision makes a lot of sense when you th…

It makes you wonder who would be stupid enough to use Google's services. They are such a slimy company and that's not likely to change as their business model requires them to be this way.

jmulchino said: Yes, a surprising article with some muddled logic (“locker room talk”? Huh?). And the tone is a bit dismissive of Apple’s recent troubles with the i9 processor. (“Non-engineer YouTubers”) Example: In another story published by…

rogifan_new said: Where is Counterpoint Research getting their data from and why should we trust it? The only data I trust is what Apple provides on its earnings calls. Agreed. It's fine to take claims like this from analysts like Count…

tylersdad said: This still makes no sense at all. There is no reason why Apple can't support their native SDK (Metal) and OpenGL. Microsoft has been doing this for decades with DirectX. The majority of game developers won't bother with creat…

blastdoor said: The cost curve for developing and deploying new semiconductor manufacturing processes is exploding. From what I've read about EUV, it is incredibly difficult to implement and the only reason it's being considered is that all a…

xbit said: I believe Tim Cook when he says that Apple didn’t established an office in Ireland in 1980 for tax reasons. However, Apple’s Ireland base has certainly been a convenient vehicle for dodging taxes in recent years. Agreed. Tim is…

melgross said: I’m concerned about the new iPad Pro. We expected the new model around March, which is when it’s been arriving. So I expected an A11X, which would have been in line with the new phone chip, as usual. But here we are, and we’re …

I have the iPhone X now. In terms of the display quality, I'm perfectly fine with the LCD models. However, I really don't want a phone bigger than the iPhone X that I have now. As others have mentioned, if the LCD means you'll have a chin, then t…

elijahg said:If Apple continues on their path to deprecating and removing OpenGL it'll be even more dire for Mac gaming. There are quite a few games that've been ported from Windows fairly easily as they have either been designed with OpenGL in …

CheeseFreeze said: Sad Apple is artificially blocking the likes of Spotify to have Siri integration. Driving is unsafe because of it. People are responsible for their own actions. While I agree that Apple should allow integration with S…

iamthegtiguy said: Except that Tidal is the best music streaming service available. It's the only service that will stream its entire catalogue in lossless data formats, making it the best format for serious audiophiles. A fact which is …

Dracarys said: You can't compare the 8 year start of Spotify vs Apple, because the streaming market wasn't near what it is today 8 years ago. Spotify did all the hard legwork, Apple jumped in once the market was ready and really didn't have t…

adm1 said: I wonder if this is why apple doesn't respond to the doom & gloom analyst reports coming out every other week. Keep in mind that publicly traded companies go into a quiet period for 4 weeks prior to the end of a quarter. …

Yeah, I just bought a new car in December. Car Play was a must and ruled out a few cars because of it. The dealers were frustrated and promised that a "future update" would get support for it. I told them that I don't buy on promises of a future …

I wish I were there to step on them as they get in my way while laying on the floor. These publicity stunts are stupid. If they were serious about change, they would lobby their own government for changing the tax laws. These are just attention s…
