Here's the main problem, people using Apple products expect perfections, and so any scratch will make a very unhappy customer. Android phones will not get the same problem because those customers are in general more tolerate of those kinds of thin…

I don't see how the yields could be 'frustrating'. The screen is smaller but it's not retina so shouldn't be hard to make. Other parts, they're essentially already in production for other iDevices.

I basically never use Siri on my iPhone except when my son wants to have fun playing with Siri. Basically got it wrong too often for my taste. It's not a knock of Siri, it's probably relatively well done, but just not good enough for me pers…

Apple simply is trying to shutdown a loophole that would affect Apple's potential ad revenue. It's Apple's right to do so.

The problem I have is, as I've said many times before, that Apple tries to manage way too many projects just for the sake of integration, and at the same time burn bridges with a lot of partners, even those who're not really going to threaten Appl…

GOOG's relatively good performance recently has a lot to do with people migrating their portfolio from FB to GOOG, and very little to do with AAPL.

A $99 tablet is not going to lose money. People are way overestimating the cost of a tablet. In fact, the biggest cost is just the touchscreen and the glass associated with it. A dual-core CPU is dirt cheap as well as 8GB memory. The cost of…

I do not believe this. I mean, look, if Google ever make a Maps App for iOS, there will be turn-by-turn navigation. So, what's the point for google to hold it back? No point. It's more believable that Apple axed the old Maps App because Goog…

I know many people here hate Schmidt, but that doesn't mean Apple should put the hate above the needs of consumers. Apple used Google search in the 1st place not because they loved Google, but because they wanted consumers to have the best search …

There's a reason why a used ATV 2 is selling more than twice of a new ATV 3. Apple is not unlocking the potential of ATV because they can't monetize that potential, that's all. It's just a matter of time before Apple can figure out how to ma…

I just don't get it, out of a million diff clock designs, they HAVE to use this version? There are plenty of alternatives.

The thing is, the $700 AAPL stock price alreday baked in some high expectations, so it's normal to view this announcement as 'letdown'. Either way, AAPL is going to be fine, at least before some new trends are coming out anyway.
