Hard to win when the goalposts are being moved continuously. But Tim and Apple's senior management will try because that's their responsibility to their shareholders, partners, and customers. Note that "shareholder" basically includes every American…

Voice to text transcription is horribly unreliable. I've seen it with my own eyes via Google Voice for over ten years. It's abysmal. And that's not even real-time, it takes Google Voice a minute or two to generate the text transcription from a short…

I think a larger issue is that Apple's upcharge on increased storage capacities are notoriously steep which is why the GM on larger capacity iPhones, Macs, and iPads is notably higher. For Apple to "persuade" people to move to higher capacity devic…

It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks and Giannandrea is no spring chicken or recent college graduate. If there was a corporate culture mismatch then it is Apple's fault for putting him in his previous role. Apple has made mistakes before picking…

PERockwell said: Files that no longer exist are deleted on the backup drive. This is not true. Part of Time Machine's feature set is to provide access to the files the way they were at the time the snapshot was made. Thus if you make daily T…

The stock market reacts far less on past results: instead it is forward looking. This is why Apple (or another company) can announce admirable quarterly earnings but get dogged the following day because of weak guidance. While Apple is a very visib…

One thing for certain, Apple will not loosen up the boot security model just to let Linux (or anyone else in). They set the precedence before the pandemic when they introduced the T2 Security Chip in the mac Mini 2018 and have been trending toward h…

Third paragraph, last sentence: "The feature also only works with messages sent via iMessage rather than SMS or RCS, too." The previous two sentences in that same paragraph have additional information, specifically about what devices have this featu…

Lol, this discussion group in the AppleInsider forum is actually labeled "AAPL Investors". Anyhow I'm sure Siri With Apple Intelligence will prevent people from making these sort of typos when Apple releases it. Right?

linkman said: I'm convinced this morning is the lowest AAPL we'll see. So convinced that I spent all of my remaining brokerage cash account on it. Cook knows how to master Apple's supply chain and it is extremely likely he was prepared for th…

This makes zero sense. This is a low volume product, they don't need a 12 month production ramp. Even iPhone generally has a 2-2.5 month production ramp. Remember that this is a cutting edge product. Having 1.5 year old technology in a premium-pri…

For sure "headwinds" will be mentioned in the analyst conference call. I'm less confident that Apple will reduce dividends and very doubtful they will increase them. The more likely scenario is to keep dividends the same for at least one quarter to…

Zero surprise with this rumor. As I have mentioned previously in other discussions, Home Hub is a much lower priority than Apple Intelligence and will require the latter to be extremely reliable to be of any use to Joe Consumer (the mainstream publ…

I suspect he's paranoid that AI writing tools are the death knell of his profession. If I were in his shoes I'd probably feel the same although my guess is my public reaction would be different. Anyhow AI writing tools here in 2025 aren't going to …

Consumers always get saddled with the costs ultimately whether it's a direct tax or something like a tariff. Publicly traded companies aren't going to the absorb the charge and give up gross margin. This should be perfectly clear to anyone who has…

Looking at futures right now tomorrow (April 3) looks like a world class sh!t storm. In fact, safety locks might be triggered. You know, the ones when the stock market drops too much during one trading session. Right now, tomorrow might be one of th…

There's one advantage that American Express might have. I'm not sure how much influence the corporate parent has in other countries but there might be a possibility that Apple Card could be made available to cardholders in other countries. Right no…

This is a pretty bad idea and Apple should know this. I believe the original iPod touch had no physical volume control buttons. You had to press the home button and use a volume slider on screen to adjust volume. They added physical volume control …
