Apple's iPhone sales down 13% in Q3, accounts for less than half of total revenues

Intel sold smartphone modem business to Apple because only serving Apple was unattractive
Think about latency and privacy. Some things are better dealt with out of the cloud and 5G is the wave that IoT will ride on. Your car and it's surroundings will be processing a huge amount of data at some point and a cloud connection will serve for some of that but not all of it. If your car has to detect a person crossing a pelican crossing when the car has a green light, latency is key. The system will be able to 'sense' the three elements (traffic light, pedestrian and car) and act accordingly. There will also be car-to-car networks so when your car brakes suddenly (to not hit the pedestrian), the car behind it will know not to smash into its rear end.reroll said:Wondering about what this last comment will concretely lead to: move processing from clouds to the networks. I think I understand the idea, I’m not sure what they can achieve that isn’t already possible with the cloud.
I think that is one area that intel might be referring to. There are probably others.

Editorial: Apple's Q319 earnings destroy a mountain of fake data and false reporting
Where is the hypocrisy?bells said:
Talk about hypocrisy. Please provide something other than rumor that Apple paid Samsung a penalty clause. Where is a Samsung or Apple statement or Apple financial record that support that rumor? Don't give me an android central link.avon b7 said:Stopped reading after this:
"Cook didn't even mention the millions of Huawei Androids that were diverted from Western markets to the domestic Chinese market in a desperate rash of discounting promotions this year. That's pretty clearly because Huawei's phones are not being sold to iPhone users, despite the constant insistence that Huawei is somehow pushing Apple out of business in China, when clearly that's not the case. "
Please provide supporting links to back this claim up.
As for the supposed claim by certain watchers that Apple wouldn't be able to shift X series phones, why did Apple pay a 'penalty' clause to Samsung for not reaching the contracted orders for displays?
Clearly someone got their estimates very, very wrong.
Even if true, the rumor concerns OLED displays not LCD displays. It is quite possible that Apple over estimated the more expensive iPhone XS sales that have OLED displays, but under estimated the less expensive iPhone XS sales which don't use OLED displays. So if accurate, Apple could sell less XSs than thought thereby owing Samsung a penalty, but selling way more XRs then thought resulting in a net gain for Apple.
It wouldn't even matter if I provided a link to a simple rumour, be it from Android Central or wherever. The point is that something, anything could support the claim. Have you seen anything to support the claim he made? I haven't. That's why I asked for a simple link.
As for Samsung and the display order penalty, would you accept it if the news were published by AppleInsider?:
"Samsung would have seen an even lower number for quarter two if not for a one-time payment from Apple. The iPhone maker reimbursed the Korean tech giant an estimated 800 billion won for unfilled OLED orders after negotiations to find an alternative contractual solution failed."

As for your speculation on LCD panels cancelling out any losses on OLED panels, I think doesn't make a lot of sense.
If iPhone Xr handsets were selling so well, the discounts/trade-ins would never have materialised (much less before Christmas day) and what was originally claimed to be a limited time offer would not have continued to this very day.
That is why I feel those price reductions will be factored into the 2019 refresh.

I am not sure where you want to go with that comment. Tim was comparing the Apple wearable business in revenue terms to Fortune 500 companies.rundhvid said:"we continue to see phenomenal demand for AirPods, and when you tally up the last four quarters, our Wearables business is now bigger than 60% of the companies in the Fortune 500."Hats off to all employees at Dell, Samsung and the rest of the tech-industry for staying motivated and performing their duties all day long, year-after-year, when the companies they work for are being embarrassed to no end by Apple and their highly successful way of executing product-design and manufacturing. It’s not like Apple is extraterrestrial or something—they have iPhones, Watch etc. and the corresponding Android products are not that different—it seems like a fair fight. Yet it isn’t, because there are real differences between the products which translates into distinctly different user-experiences.
I truly cannot comprehend how executives and managers involved with strategic decisions in Apple-rivaling companies (an oxymoron, perhaps...?), are able to fully commit to their new product with true belief in the claimed performance and predicted impact on the market—without feeling a little uneasy or outright thinking “why bother?“
I don't see a connection to Samsung, Android etc.
Android wearables sell in huge numbers and are growing thanks to the Chinese manufacturers.

Quite the opposite. As I have stated a million times. LOL. If I post on Huawei for example, it is almost always due to something popping up in a previous comment that needs some balance injected into it. I happen to know a fair bit about Huawei and Apple so I'm pretty well placed to inject that balance for the benefit readers who are not members (as well as members of course). From there is it up to the reader to form their own opinion.StrangeDays said:
Oh, you absolutely have a narrative. It's been noted and discussed a million times over by nearly every regular, so don't pretend otherwise. Your purpose here is to spin a yarn about your favorite cheap Chinese knockoff brand.avon b7 said:
As for 'narratives', I don't have one. They serve no purpose to me. So fragility doesn't come into it.StrangeDays said:
Of course you stopped reading. You have a fragile narrative to protect!avon b7 said:Stopped reading after this:
That, in no way constitutes a 'narrative'. It constitutes - knowledge and opinion - and everyone (myself included) can benefit from that.
If I don't know what I'm talking about I prefer to stay out of the discussion unless I'm giving a simple personal opinion.
