  • Norway gets world's first Apple Pay alternative for iPhone

    It sounds like the only advantage is that those local Norwegian banks don't allow Apple Pay. 
    The major benefit is choice for the end user and with it, competition and innovation.

    I didn't see any innovations or pricing benefits mentioned in the article. 
    The benefit seems to be that this is not Apple. The innovation seems to be that this is not Apple but runs on Apple hardware. Very exciting /s

  • Tim Cook says users are updating to iOS 18.1 at twice the rate of iOS 17.1

    I have an iPhone 15. Some nice small tweaks but I can't see a compelling reason to upgrade given the lack of AI capacity. I should have bought the Pro  ) :

  • iOS 18.1 & iPadOS 18.1 review: baby steps with Apple Intelligence

    teejay2012teejay2012
    I bought an iPhone 15 rather than the Pro, not thinking that it would not be offered the latest iOS features for the next few cycles. I know that I have a good phone, but still I feel short changed. There weren't any reviews (at least that I read) prior to my purchase that mentioned AI as a factor to select the Pro. Perhaps AI will be amazing in 4 or 5 years when I upgrade again LOL.

  • US TSMC probe puts iPhone chips at risk

    This is a ludicrous report....

    This is stock manipulation at its finest. Funny how it was issued on the day the world found out Apple sold 20% MORE iPhones in China than last year and the stock soared. 

    Please stop contributing to stock manipulation. 
    Perhaps, but I think there is more to this story than stock manipulation.  I presume that it has already been determined there are 'current' TSMC chips in 'current' Huawei phones. They should not be there of course. The question would be, given the implications for being caught, how could TSMC have been so careless to have allowed this ? The sheer size of the order should have raised suspicion, regardless of how well the buying agent was disguised.

  • Apple must pay EU $14 billion over Ireland tax arrangement

    teejay2012teejay2012
    A global approach to fair tax is in the works and will be much better. No thanks to the EU Commission and Vestager on that process as  I think they prefer the 'fine them' model. That aside, are there substantial reasons for Apple to stay in Ireland, other than having invested in infrastructure there and having a well educated work force. Surely there are other countries that would offer more advantages. As well with DMA, the EU has become unfriendly territory for US tech companies. This ruling I fear is the beginning of many.
