    You're wrong.

    1) A tremendous swath of users don't know or care how much storage their device has.
    2) Today it is actually more possible to live with a 16 GB device than it ever was before. Not the other way around. Two of the biggest culprits of storage space: iMessages, and Photo library have had recent innovations that prevent them from taking up all of your storage. iMessage can now auto-delete old messages, and iCloud Photo Library + Optimize iPhone Storage allows you to take as much Photo and Video as you like, while constantly reducing the amount of actual local storage.

    So, the argument that it "made sense" back in 2010 when none of these features existed is completely wrong.
    How much bigger is the OS? How much bigger is the average app? My son has a 16GB iPad mini, he has no photos on the device,  doesn't iMessage with any one , and has only a handful of apps,  and he's constantly running out of space. 
    Why did you buy/allow him to buy such a crippled device when you clearly know better??

    AppleInsider said:
    The market remains a mile wide and inch deep, however -- the 20 largest companies account for nearly 85 percent of profits.

    Hasn't it been reported multiple times on this site that Apple takes home well over 90% of global smartphone profits?  How then does it take 20 companies to get 85%?

  • Apple shares open below $100 for first time since 2014

    The stock traded at $92 a few months ago. Need to correct the title of the article.


    The title is not incorrect.  The stock did trade as low as $92 I believe for a few minutes one day a couple months ago, but it neither opened nor closed below $100 on that day.
