With the exception of the word "Jesus" in his name, I'm not really clear on how that analogy makes sense...never mind the number of Christians you're going to piss off with that headline.  

How about "Jesus pickpockets phones at Coachella, astute iPhone users ended up saving the day, not just for their fellow iOS users but also the Android victims at the event!"

Qualcomm loses either way! Legal battles are irrelevant, it's all about business. If Qualcomm doesn't want to play nice. Apple will go with XMM 7650 modem from Intel, It’s not quite able to match the peak speeds of Qualcomm’s new wireless chip, which can reach peaks of up to 1.2Gbps. But it’s fast enough to download an HD movie in about 8 seconds, or 10GB of music in a minute and a half. It would not impact average customer because it’s compatible with multiple cellular technologies, including LTE, GSM, and CDMA and oh yes better deal for Apple. In the meantime, it would give Andriod users bragging rights that they have a faster modem, which is also irrelevant as we know speeds are various depending on where you are. Qualcomm is getting greedy and they can lose their best customer now that Apple has options!

I thought Samsung bought the startup of the guys that created Siri after they left Apple. Is this that?

They have a great tech without a doubt. Apple didn't want to monopolize on it because of privacy concerns, but there is no doubt if one company that can make most powerful Ai that would be Apple.

Overcast has Smart Speed which dynamically shortens silences in talk shows I have saved at least one hour a week from not having to listen to silence  

To me all this data inconsistent according to this article single OLED screen will cost $71.67 and Samsung's deal states that 5.5-inch OLED will cost $25.90 per screen, which doesn’t add up. All the reports claiming shortage of OLED giving me a feeling of fearmongering. iPhone 7 with 256 GB cost $916 + Apple Care and it's over $1000. iPhone 7+ 256GB model is $1047 without Apple Care. So when you constantly seeing articles stating that new iPhone 8 will cost $1000 which model are they talking about? Apple haven’t changed their price range for the past 5 years or so and now $1000 should be a scary number? It feels like a hook that has no real meat to it. There is no real shortages of screens, but the shortage of suppliers that are willing to deal with Apples strict quality control!
