Man what a bunch of one-sided responses as usual. rest assured China has backdoors in all of their products and probably half of our products made there. This is serious stuff - if the contacts in the phone stop another attack and loss of innocent l…

esummers said: spaceage said: This whole system is so out of touch with any supposed "pro" market that it purports to address. What is with a "3-5 day" repair period? If you are a pro, and you've invested $10k or more into a system l…

False info here: "The cables themselves are passive — save a resistor here and there — and aside from the quality of the plastic, there's very little to differentiate a cheap one from an expensive one. It's true, for instance, that Apple's $19 L…

canukstorm said: These are the kind of acquisitions Apple should be looking at - cloud, big data, AI related. I agree - who cares if you overpay 100 million - good AI is the future. I'm tired of SIRI's failings - Apple needs to go all-in…

macarena said: I am happy that the market is "punishing" Apple. Apple got too successful, and didn't have any competition. They need this rap on the knuckles, and probably need a lot more pain before they are forced to change their ways. - D…

Just an example here (and I know business sales are not an apple strong suit but we have apple iPhones / laptops - as much apple as we can (which isn't much since few to none support software deployments on it in my industry)). We also have a ton of…

I bet they held it off until 6s/6s+ A9 chip supply/demand was under control. Don't want to sacrifice a higher end sale. Once the decrease in spring was forecasted internally (likely in Nov/Dec) a go was made to release this to help bridge the gap. T…

AppleInsider said:In a rare move, Apple released supplemental material along with its usual 8-K SEC filing to demonstrate the extent to which currency headwinds impacted results. It was calculated that $100 of non-U.S. dollar revenue at the end …

One thing I don't get. Nearly all of the iPhone's component costs are in Asian depreciated currencies. So if the US dollar gains big, the raw cost for Apple for the most part goes down a similar percentage (R&D is separately expensed in US dolla…

I'm surprised by how many unpatriotic comments are on this site. Brazil forced Apple to do it and they did. Apple makes mac pros here. Motorola made a phone here a few years ago (before the whole google fiasco). It can be done, especially in this ag…

Crap, I didn't even know about this - it was buried at the bottom and I never even saw it! No wonder I got hit with $60 in overage fees and my wife's at $30 - I have a few bad spots in the house. This is a great feature for those with unlimited plan…

FYI out there: My version 7.1.2 doesn't work with the new Macbook SSD NVMe interface - there is a beta dev version that can run it - but not sure if the fix is in 8 or not - can't find out anywhere I've looked...
