  • Samsung suspends production of Galaxy Note 7, AT&T and T-Mobile stop offering replacements

    Public relations nightmare is an understatement.

    So where are all the class action lawsuits?
    Why class action? Those directly effected can sue and will likely receive a settlement. All others will get a refund or comparable replacement. The issues effecting iPhone 6 if real and in significant numbers, are justifiably class action worthy. And I'm a shareholder. 

    First off, what does you being an Apple shareholder have to do with anything?

    Second, its more than just getting a replacement. People were told to power down and not use their devices. You think everyone has a spare phone lying around they can use while waiting for that replacement? Not all carriers were offering loaner phones while waiting, and people who ordered from Samsung online (direct) had no way to arrange for a loaner. Further, people who ordered online were inconvenienced even more since couriers (like FedEx) wouldn't allow old Note 7's to be shipped back by air. This caused additional delays.

    You think people are going to individually sue Samsung for their inconvenience? Why don't Apple users with so-called touch disease individually sue Apple? Simple. It would cost far more to go to court than the few hundred dollars they would get. This has class action written all over it.
    Well, do you think people should sue Apple if iPhone 7 takes longer to produce?
    European perspective here, but I guess this whole class action thing is overkill: you get refunded and buy something else. No real damage done (except for those whose Note have really burnt, exploded, ...)

  • Five years after Steve Jobs: an Apple with the courage to say 'No'

    blitz1blitz1
    QUOTE
    Jobs' "courage of conviction" in a variety of decisions related to the Macintosh and its future led to a solid user environment for desktop publishing but eventually met with resistance inside Apple, where Jobs' convictions on how to invest the company's profits and how to sell new hardware weren't unanimous. By 1986, Jobs chose to leave Apple and start over on a project he could more completely control: NeXT.
    UNQUOTE

    Probably, DED knows more than we do. Heck, he even knows more than Isaacson!
    Cause, as far as I've read:
    - Jobs didn't choose to leave (he clamped to Apple)
    - Macintosh wasn't turning profits (Jobs was in charge only of Macintosh), on the contrary
    - HIs courage of conviction made the original Macintosh a huge flop

  • Supply chain suggests Apple to see better-than-expected holiday season, analyst says

    I was 9 yrs with Apple's iPhone.
    Halo and all that stuff (iMac, iPad, a couple of iPhones - skipped the 5 series, iPad Pro)

    Just today, I bought my first Android phone. Costed me less than 200USD and it features a superb 13MP camera, Snapdragon quad core, 2Gb RAM, ... performance is terrific.

    All the apps work alike on iPhone and Android.
    Some seem to work better on Android (better integration of functions - Apple is still closing some stuff - yes, I know, you'll say with good reason, we've been there before).

    I guess, I realized that it's been a couple of years that there's nothing special to a smartphone.
    That it's become since long ago a commodity.

    Let's see how I can sync my calendar and contacts. I'll be just fine... paying 600USD less

  • Too soon? Apple's new iPhone 7 ruffles feathers with Lightning audio, Home button changes

    blitz1blitz1
    DED... words, words, words, ... trying to prove anything.

    Apple didn't go with the Lightning audio because Apple was afraid iPhone 5 and 5s might not catch?
    How strange is it after a paragraph under the heading "Innovation by fire".

    Does it mean Apple when inventing by destroying has "revert plans".
    Or that they don't trust their choices to fully go down the path?

    Maybe, just maybe it's DED drooling over his own clever words
