  • iPhone 8 & iPhone 8 Plus both beat iPhone X sales in March quarter, questionable data find...

    It seems quite a few people have no understanding of how businesses work.

    Apple sells its products at a price it thinks the market will bear. Obviously it can’t be too high otherwise no one would buy them; it can’t be too low or it won’t be able to turn a profit and/or it could be investigated for anti-competitive behavior.

    Those of you skeptical about a state-of-the-art smartphone that runs on the latest chip fabrication technology and VCSELs costs $1000, please do us all a favor and go out and invent a better phone. Put your money where your mouth is. I will be the first to buy your product if you can topple Apple. Don’t forget that mechanical watches are still priced in the hundreds of thousands and do a worse job at telling accurate time than a cheap quartz yet people still bought them.

  • Kuo: Apple losing AR lead to low-cost competitors, lack of software innovation to blame

    Here's an analogy anyone can understand.

    Apple is like a Porsche 918 and Oppo is like your cousin's souped-up Subaru WRX.

  • Mark Zuckerberg was ready to pounce on Apple's data practices at Senate hearing

    brisancebrisance

    Comparing Facebook to Apple, which often touts itself as a bastion of user privacy and data security, Zuckerberg's notes say the two companies' policies are "similar." He relates installing an app on iPhone to users logging into Facebook -- both request access to certain information that can, in some cases, be sensitive.

    Zuckerberg also claims there are "lots of stories about apps misusing Apple data," though he never sees the company inform its customers of such events. It is "important you hold everyone to the same standard," Zuckerberg concludes. 
    Zuckerberg is one arrogant prick. The people are trying to hold Facebook "to the same standard" as Apple, but I'm afraid the politicians have all already been paid off.

    Unfortunately Config isn’t working reliably.
    Many issues. Also I believe many of the suggestions listed in this thead should by now be built in to iOS. 
    Curious to know more. Please elaborate.

    As a "tech-savvy" parent who tried to "do my job" of monitoring and configuring an iPad for the use of my child, I was very quickly scratching my head looking for the following. * Day/Time access schedules. * App blocking. * Internet filtering. --- Schedules were nonexistent, Total App blocking is restricted to "some" 1st party apps only - I could block face time but not messages or email. Other apps could only be restricted by content ratings that I don't control. Internet filtering was purely based aforementioned ratings... no provision for black or white lists. The only way to block you tube was to not install the app but even then they could access it via safari... unless I block safari but then they would have no internet browsing at all. Bare minimum doesn't even begin to describe what is offered. At least they restricted store and in app purchase options... eventually. And just to be clear, I'm purposely omitting any third-party solutions. I believe this should and in many cases needs to be provided by Apple due the level of system access required.
