While I sympathise with the activists' point of view, it's not wise for a guest to take sides in a domestic dispute. Mention of Samsung makes me shudder. Brings back an old Aussie commination: 'May your chooks turn into emus, And peck your dun…

Reading and learning from some surprisingly informed and non-stupid disputes here about the merits of 64-bit, etc. That said, I'll stick with my earlier assessment that the A7 renders all other mobile chips obsolete (which is why there's so much smi…

Ballmer's bonus is just a 'rounding error'; he's worth over $18 billion! It's his pride that will be hurt. He and Gates between them could probably buy a controlling interest back in MS … and fire the Board. They all deserve each other and obli…

Gimmick schmimmick, Apple has just rendered all other mobile chips obsolete. That's why the non-Apple mob are so keen to poo poo the 64-bit break-through: their product is now a dead-end and they'll have to play copy copy catch up all over again. …

So if their cheating is confirmed by, say, consumer watch-dogs then the makers should fined for false advertising, no? These are very sad and desperate bastards indeed!

Having taken many thousands of photos on a Sony (/Minolta) alpha camera , I'm glad to hear that Sony is doing the sensors. They're still make quality stuff (compared to their Korean counterparts) and they need all the money they can get (after last …

> we would leverage it for iTunes Radio but the primary key to iTunes Radio was to create it custom for you. When you%u2019re talking premiering song, what we%u2019re doing iTunes Festival-wise, we knew iTunes Radio was a perfect place for that s…

Only paid for Mobile Me once in 2008 (or was it 2009) and now it's finally expired: That's value for money!

The iPad mini weighs 310 g. So scaled up 25% linear (diagonal) that should come to between 480 g (mass ? d^2) and 600 g (mass ? d^3). Probably closer to the former (under 1 'pound' [aka ye ancient american unit]) since the mass is mainly determined …

A bit gushing to my tastes, Dan, but well put together. The 5S is worth the extra if just for the camera function. While used to the iP 5, I tried std shots, filtered shots, zoom (less terrible than previously), burst and a couple of panoramas on …

They don't have any 5Ss to sell! Which I guess in one point in having the more mass-producible 5C - to take up the slack. I think eventually they will be bought as smart phones for the 'other family members'.

My (wife's) nephew got the 5C in blue, the same blue as in the Fiji flag. Bula!

I'm with the skeptics. The putative method is clever, like a magic trick %u2013 bravo! %u2013 but I'd like to see it independently verified before believing it . The sensor is capacitative, not optical, so it seems unlikely that it works except with…

From tropical Cairns, Australia: niece got an iP5S her brother got an iP5c this morning from Vodafone. No worries! These things are going to sell like hotcakes.

I could live with the blue if it has good hand-feel and durability. They may appeal more to the teen market (where fingerprint and motion sensors, etc. are less of a draw) than the full metal deluxe units. I'd go the 5S for the higher-spec'ed camera.

Nice analysis, Dan! The Apple guys certainly looked both happy and excited at making the announcement and expounding the benefits. Makes Android look like a tech dead-end. The Flash of twenty-teens mobile.

Indeed! And they've just released the perfect (i.e. easily up-scaled mass production) iPhone for the China and Japan markets. Expect stock prices to soar.

"6 inch" tablet-phone seems more likely than a betwixt-and-betweener: As I've noted on this forum before, Apple is a metric company: a 10cm iPhone (one-hander phone), a 20cm iPad mini, a 25cm iPad, and now (it seems) a 15cm iPhone (a proper two-hand…

Had a Sony (Minolta lens) alpha DSLR a few years back and I liked it a lot (lighter and easier to use than my current Nikon D5000 while similar in picture quality). It's a lot of money for essentially a compact camera replacement, but Exmor-R and …
