OLED displays have been used in Apple's smartphones since the iPhone X (2017) thus seven years. They are brighter and do have better image quality. OLED display panels have been used on PC notebooks for several years now and of course on television…

Y2an understands. Apple has given up raw marketshare by protecting gross margins. This is not specific to Macs, they have done this with pretty much all product lines for the past 25+ years: iPod, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, whatever.…

This article author has failed to grasp technology innovation from the big picture perspective. It can explain it in ONE sentence: consumer technology innovation is driven by the smartphone, the primary computing modality of consumers today. Unfor…

Apple is not interested in controlling the entire supply chain. That's why Foxconn et al do the final assembly. Let's remember that Steve Jobs picked Tim Cook to be his second-in-command and nominated him to become CEO twice. And one of Tim's firs…

It's imperative to understand that CIPR only tracks US iPhone sales. And the USA is not the largest iPhone market. And hasn't been for well over a decade. Remember that only ~3.5% of the world's population are Americans.

Programmers have an old acronym for this: GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out). No one will be pointing a gun at anyone's head forcing them to read the AI-generated app review summaries. In the same way, no one is compelled to read those summaries on Ama…

Hindsight is always 20-20. In 2020 Apple wasn't forecasting the fast paced and urgent adoption of AI/ML features to the extent it is happening now. We've already seen rumors of internal communications that Apple is about two years behind the competi…
