Russians! You heard it here first

With all the fuss about Apple throttling the CPU and slowing down iPhones, performance does not even register on the Top 5 iOS Performance Issues but comes in at Number 1 on the Top 5 Android Performance Issues chart at a whopping 27% which is head and shoulders above the next closest issue, camera at 5%.

Makes you wonder what all the fuss is about...

All I can say is they’d better concentrate on the basics first!

I spent years being frustrated with file attachments being unrecognised as winmail.dat files. This included a simple .jpeg photo sent by another computer on my home network to my Macs.

Industry-standard .ics calendar attachments that do not even show up in iOS appear on my Macs but end up crashing the calendar app or not making the transition and I miss meetings & telephone conferences or end up calling into cancelled tele-cons.

Do not forget that a lot of Industry-Standard programs are PC only and not available for Mac.

Then...and this is not Apples fault but cross-platform incompatibility between Microsoft Office files leaves me completely out in the cold trying to use any of my Macs and/or iOS devices for business.

There have been many more issues but these are the ones that immediately spring to mind.

I can only speak as I find but for me the Mac is a non-starter in a business environment.

Those Chinese really will eat anything!

But seriously...what on earth was he going to prove by biting it?

Can he tell the difference in taste between an original and 3rd party battery I wonder?

Since Android market share is over 85%, iOS market share is less than 15%. So in the long term Google will make five times more from Android App Store than Apple earn from App Store. May be Google is already making at least twice more than Apple? 

You think? Maybe before you post a crock you might like to do a little research, quote; As per a report compiled by Sensor Tower, users spent approximately $58.6 billion on apps in 2017 across the Android and iOS platform, but a major share of that eye-watering amount fell on Apple’s side of the app ecosystem. It is a well-known fact that the number of Android users dwarf iOS subscribers by a very hefty margin, but the revenues generated from the rival OS’s app directories is an altogether different story. You might be wondering how wide the revenue gap actually is? Well, the revenue generated by the App Store in 2017 is nearly double that of the Play Store. According to Sensor Tower’s analysis, users hooked to the iOS platform spent an estimated $38.5 billion on apps in 2017, a figure that includes the up-front cost of paid apps, in-app purchases and subscriptions. On the other hand, Android users spent around $20.1 billion on apps downloaded from the Play Store. But it’s not just the gross financial figures where the App Store has left the Play Store to bite the dust, as the net revenue growth rate is another domain where the App Store beat the Play Store, albeit by a smaller margin. On a year-on-year basis, the revenues generated by Apple’s app directory grew by 34.7%, which is barely higher than the 34.2% gross revenue increment recorded by the Play Store on an annual basis. Gaming was yet another area where the App Store’s financial game proved to be much stronger than the Play Store’s, as iOS games generated approximately $30 billion in revenues, while Android games could only amass $18 billion in 2017. However, when it comes to net app downloads, the numbers are strictly in Google’s favor as the Play Store accounted for 64 billion app downloads in 2017, while the App Store lagged much farther behind with just 28 billion downloads. But what can one say, Apple emerged as the winner in the areas which appear to be more significant, and that’s where the proverbial mic should be dropped. Edit: Apologies...even though I have chapter breaks between the 8 paragraphs including this one AI seems to have lumped it all together...
