How is Apple's exercise of creative control over content any different than over hardware and software? For all the hand wringing over things like removal of floppy, CD, ports, software options and the like, Apple has done fairly well. I invested i…

It's a pretty inexcusable display of ignorance (or manipulativeness) to rank short positions by value rather than by ratio. Here's the chart redrawn to show short positions relative to market cap... It's also useful to chart shares sold short aga…

As owner of several patents, and having consulted on patent issues for some years, I'm of the opinion that patent count means approximately nothing. The best ideas are protected by keeping them secret. For a small company with a great idea, one meth…

hammeroftruth said: These types of halfhearted repairs are what makes people not trust Apple and not want to buy their products again. Apple's customer satisfaction ratings are the best in the industry. Reality and your perception of it n…

It makes sense that the failure rate will increase as phones get older, primarily due to battery wear. The failure rate for the original 2007 iPhone is probably near 100%. That is not indicative of a quality problem. It would be far more useful to c…

The most magical aspect of this story is the ability of a cellular signal to penetrate 30 feet of saltwater.

At 8-11% faster for the CPU, I think this would be the smallest generational improvement in the A-family since its introduction. Eventually Apple will run up against the wall or simply not need much additional horsepower, but I was expecting bigger …

You've got your numbers all wrong. Given that Apple sold north of 18 million Macs in 2016 (and probably a similar amount in 2014), it would be reasonable to assume that the MacBook Pro 13/15 unit volume was at least 5 million units and probably much…
