He remarked that "a much bigger hammer" should fall on Apple if Cook reverses policies, since it would be a "betrayal of trust" and past promises. LOL. I expect Apple to keep its promises because it's in Apple's marketing and commercial interest …

The factory that's being built is far too big to just pump out watch screens, camera covers, touch ID buttons and watch sensor covers. So there's definitely something cooking. What that is going to be, is anybody's guess. It could end up simply …

To be fair, Apple doubled the world's production of sapphire with the Mesa plant. Why that much capacity for just buttons and watch covers? I believe Apple was only using something like $17 million worth of sapphire from Rubicon prior to GTAT firi…

Beautiful watch. Still skeptical about the market for it though. We're talking about spending at least $350 on what is essentially an iPhone accessory. And it's one more device to charge and manage. And you're still stuck with using the phone …

One last point I'd make is the advance of technology will only make this worse for Apple. Look at the Chromebook PIxel. Imagine an updated version of that available for $300. It won't happen for a few years. But it will happen. I stand by my as…
