"There are lots of payment Apps in The App Store. I doubt it was blocked because of competition, but because it didn't meet some Apple requirement. But Samsung and the haters will try to spin it as Apple being anti-competitive. Just like all those w…

SAMSUNG's rumors of product features are as credible as Apple. SAMSUNG may well anticipate Apple's no bezel, no mechnical home button, and drop the "audio port" feature, but I suspect this will not automatically make it a winner. Like the SAMSUNG …

Apple is being cautious regarding the content industry. The market is littered with companies who have decided to get into the "business." Similar to fashion, content creation is complex, expensive, and very risky. Music has some expertise Dre et a…

And let's not forget the Supreme Court issue on copying Apple or the "exploding" washing machines.

This is not an isolated instance of hacking. I had to redo all my email etc., name and password about two months ago including Yahoo for hacking. Similarly, I've been on an annual credit card renewal cycle due to store sites getting hacked Home De…

I am confused. Since the touch screen requires bare fingers or specialized gloves - why would the glove be an issue if the access to 99.9999% of functionality require screen access. This seems to be achieving more self consistency on phone access.

While lesser known artists will have to follow the labels rules, I suspect the big names e.g., Gaga, will not be happy if they are constrained in a manner that limits either their audience or income. They can have a lot of leverage, especially, as …

ASDA apparently has a higher regard for their customers than their parent Walmart [or CVS or Home Depot or or or or or]

Following this thread, apparently Apple was eventually willing to replace an out of warranty iPhone with another to address the issue. Others with out of warranty problems have not explained what their experience with Apple was. If it was a manufa…

Obsession to own the customer data results in 1. Credit Card insecurity and 2. Expansion of number of store apps trying to bypass ApplePay. Ergo go I shop at Walmart.

Once again, analysts obsessive narrative on iPhone sales had misguided them, even after Foxconn tells them it's PC not mobile that is the problem. Note that may be more than numbers but rather margins as well. The zero to negative margins is painful…

Let's see, SAMSUNG claims rarely match up with reality. So it will interesting to see people test the phone for water proof, pen performance, and eye recognition.

Aside from business models, technology protocols, etc., differences, does the privacy requirements of HomeKit really create the incompatibility with NEST and other Alphabet devices. My guess, this will be the big difference. Between Amazon and Alpha…

Ironically it initially worked, until CVS pulled support. So I suspect testing is a bogus excuse. They are just delaying hoping their own alternative rises from the ashes. I have chosen to shop awalgreens since they use Apple Pay. As Wendy's (ergo…

Let's give a big shout out to once again Boston Logan Airport ability to maximize traveler inconvenience and technology lag.

It costs real money to operate Apple Services. In general Apple App fees are a break even operation not a major profit center, similarly Apple Music. Since Spotify has 3x number of paid subscribers, it seems a bit of a stretch to say Apple is a mus…

Several forces are at work pushing Android makers to their own OS. 1. In China, I suspect the Government is encouraging creation of Chinese OSes for competitive and political reasons. A lot more could be written here. 2. Profits require moving …

This seems to be an entirely internal issue to Apple. If the choice is wrong, then Apple's Services might be degraded, but it nothing to do with the Irish community issues regarding environmental and power consumption. It merely shows that no site…

Check out Foss Patents site, this trial may well end up back in the Appeals Court and have to be redone. My guess it's another 5 years before Oracle collects any funds on this. By by the way, I think Oracle has a good case regarding Google's dism…
