Considering how much is being made regarding the power needed to implement AI, the most important element of Apple's hardware is its efficiency. Could be a dramatic advantage going forward.

The most intriguing aspect of Severance at this point is the rather not-quite-real vibe given off by what we are told is the real world that characters experience when apparently not in the generated Lumen Corporation environment. If a sort of real…

As a retired journalist, I would like to point out that humans themselves often get it wrong. I lost count of how many times I was dismayed by a misleading headline attached to a piece I had written or worse, sloppy editing that had entirely misrepr…

What might have been more effective in terms of attracting subscribers would have been to charge a modest enough amount for the service to ensure many consumers would have seen signing up for it to be a no-brainer. So many services have come along …

It's about price point. Reasonably, one would expect to pay more for an Apple Vision Pro than a top-spec iPhone. Yet, there is a limit to how much more if what one is seeking is greater sales volume. In the Canadian market, the iPhone Pro Max checks…

Could it be that Apple overestimated the initial interest in the iPhone 16 based on the addition of Apple Intelligence in the coming months? If so, shorter lead times does not automatically mean the iPhone 16 is not selling well. They may have set u…

As the regular iPhone gets upgraded annually, at some point it achieves a level of performance that makes opting for one of the pro variants hard for many to justify. As to the impact on sales, Apple always plays a long game. The rollout of AI-like …

nubus said: CODA did 1/1000 of the film that was best performing at the box office - Spider-Man, No way home. CODA is the Mac Pro of movies and audiences don't care about either. Why is Apple trying to be a media company? Apple is trying …
