It is sad to see what has happened to Apple over the past 5 years or so. 5 years ago Apple dominated the smartphone market, and one could honestly say that the IPhone was a much better experience than other phones. Today Android has 85% of the mar…

Here's the deal with Chromebooks: If you use the computer for web surfing, email, spreadsheets, word processing, social media, media viewing, or the things that mobile computers are used for 99% of the time, a Chromebook is just fine. If you need …

I come to this forum from time to time and it seems you folks are stuck in some sort of time warp. Android phones are now 5 times more common than Iphones, while Android tablets are now just reaching the same number of users as IPads. When I used …

I realize that this is the AppleInsider, so we all have a special interest in Apple, but what sort of answer would one expect when speaking to developers at an Apple developers conference? The bottom line is that Android is growing substantially fa…

I was a long time IPhone user until last summer when I bought 4 EVO 4Gs for the family. I never would have believed at that time that Apple would still not have a 4G phone on the market. I now own a couple of EVO 3D phones (with 4G) so I can g…

Apple once had a tremendous lead in personal computers, now they have 3-4% of a market dominated by Microsoft Windows (92+%). Only a couple of years ago Apple seemed to have a totally insurmountable lead in smartphones, today the IPhone is #3 in th…

It feels like these articles in "Apple Insider" come straight from Apple HQ. If they don't then the writers are either under a lot of pressure from Apple to make Apple sound good, or they are under some sort of trance that makes them see Apple as t…

There was a time when I went to Apple insider to see what was new in Apple hardware and software, but now it just seems to be nothing more than the PR arm of Apple. Every new product release is presented and accepted as both entirely true, entirely…

This is like saying that most airline prefer Boeing and Airbus, who else is there. My son is a fanatical collector of leading edge consumer technology. He has already owned 3 different Android tablets, but none of them (except the Galaxy, which is…

If you look at the rate of increase in sales of Android OS phones it is clear that Android is wildly more popular than Iphone. The numbers for activations of IOS devices includes a lot of Ipods and a substantial numger or IPads, while the Android a…

So let's get this straight, Apple presently sells over 100,000 phones a day, they know they are having the introduction of the Iphone in the biggest mobile phone market in the world, most of the phones sold the first day were pre-orders so they knew…

This is the worst kind of journalism. The writer has already decided what the truth is before knowing the facts. There is an obvious presumption here that it must not be true that Macs are requiring more service then PCs. The bit at the end about…
