I wont be surprised if the new SE is an improved version of the 7. On the other hand, Apple is a victim of its own success. Unlike every other phone manufacturer that can use bleeding edge tech because they only make or sell a few million of their …

It is getting very difficult for Apple to innovate in their physical products because unlike other brands they need to produce hundreds of thousands up to tens of millions of the devices at launch. Bleeding or even leading edge technology is never …

Didn't they say pretty much the same thing about the Note 7?

Some people are saying that they know alot of die hard Apple fans and yet they don't own the Apple Watch. Lets look at it from another angle. Some people I know own more than one Apple Watch, some a few because it is a fashion accessory after all a…

People need to think... The fact that the Apple Watch was sold out and had a long waiting period means they outsold Apple's expectations by quite a fair bit. All the talk about production constraint etc is just talk. Now lets be logical for a minu…

To be very fair, it is alot easier to develop for iOS first and then Android. 1. There is alot less testing needed because you don't have thousands of device with different specs, versions of OS etc. 2. You don't need to cater to the lowest common…
