slimpotato said: What bothers me is that Tim Cook seems to be implying that it is actually POSSIBLE for Apple to comply with the FBI Order. That means current, existing iPhones (like the SUBJECT DEVICE) are NOT secure, and already have a back…

brucemc said: As for everyone's favourite company to compare to Apple - Amazon - in this case it isn't simply that they have next to no profits. The company has chosen specifically to invest almost all its money into growth (capex, devices, …

rob53 said: "Android Pay is confirmed for Wells Fargo's initial rollout, but Apple Pay could be next." Why would they start with Android Pay when they've been hawking ApplePay for so long? I also don't like the "could be next" comment. Andro…

Crazy the way APPL is evaluated. The company's market valuation is less than twice its accumulated profits. And even though iPhone sales and profits are up 50% from three years ago, the stock price is lower now than it was in September 2012.

In a sane world, we would only have to point out that criminals can install (using Xcode) or sideload (via corporate app store or jailbreaking) any apps they like with uncompromized encryption. Apple can't prevent this. So we lose our privacy, and…

I was just looking at the Gartner data for second quarter 2015 (I think the rest of the year was similar). World smartphone sales up 13.5% year over year, Apple iPhone sales up 36% year over year. Smartphone sales down 4% in China, Apple iPhone sa…

pmcd said: Not a big fan of VLC but it's very nice that it is available. There are now many apps that play a variety of formats. For example, MrMC which is basically Kodi ( without AddOns) and Infuse both bring a lot to the platform. There's …

The statement, "There is no on/off switch" appears just above a picture with the on/off switch. Also, you should mention that this thing is about a foot across -- I couldn't tell from the pictures. Another interesting spec worth mentioning is that…
