  • Apple One bundle includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and more

    I wonder how they would handle those of us who need 2TB of data on iCloud? So far the premiere saves me $15/mo and adds AppleTV+ and the fitness package.

  • New York Times leaves Apple News over a lack of reader connection

    My issue with the NYT, was they wanted to charge me to continue to read an article that was offered in the News+ app. I thought those articles were included in my subscription price, so, I stopped reading their articles.

    I wish Apple offered an option for Hi-Res files. I know they did in the past, But, now that I have a system that can take advantage of the better sound quality, I'd like to have the option.

    The numbers are not global, but only US based. The dominant mobile device manufactirer globally is Samsung. Apple comes second. Please do not sell this data as general trend. On some markets like in Europe Apple has really marginal presence. It is not about hating, trolling or else so svae yourself those derogatory slogans. This is aboutr marketshare facts: Samsung 28% Apple 26%
    Yes they are. Read the chart again. Those aren't unit sales, they're PROFIT share. Globally Apple crushes the competition in profits.

    "churning out ever-increasing volumes of hardware units" isn't exactly what Apple have been doing for the Mac lately. In many ways they have gone to lengths to sabotage their own ecosystem and user base for macOS over multiple years.

    Seen in that light, the narrative on focusing on users rather than units is not particularly trustworthy. I believe the investors understand that. Cause and Effect!
    I don't feel like you read the editorial.
    I did and it is partly based on inaccuracy, lost history and wishful thinking. 

    Sentences like "At the same time, Apple also worked to adopt Intel chips, USB, and other technologies that ..." is cringeworthy. USB was introduced with the original iMac on System 8.1 in 1998 on a PowerPC based machine, almost 8 years before Intel processors .
    USB was out 2 year PRIOR to Apple's adoption in 1998. It was languishing on the vine in the PC market. His statement was accurate, the syntax may not have been clear to you.
