...and where's my folding iPhone?

Hopefully nowhere. Forever. It's a stupid design concept, adds no value, and is also impossible to execute in a desirable and durable product.

Hard to imagine the impetus for putting 8K video on a phone.

I know some Android phones can do this, but unless you're doing heavy video crops it's hard to see why you'd want it.

On Android everything is a specs race, so it makes sense there (though no one probably uses it more than once).

It's actually not difficult to imagine at all. One could rattle off several reasons, but just to name the most obvious one, studio films are already being shot exclusively with iPhones. The usefulness of being able to shoot in 8K for that application is self-evident.

So he's suing Apple for fraud, trying to actively undermine the App Store and Apple's business model and security model, yet he's expecting white-glove support? Got it. Seems legit.

Super desirable watch and the $250 price is reasonable too. If this were an iWatch we would all be falling all over ourselves to hit the buy now button. The health features are way better than an Apple Watch too.

When I want incisive, relevant commentary on Apple Watch, I always turn to someone who still hasn't figured out what the product is even called, after SIX YEARS. "iWatch"?

Apple should have used some of that $70 billion they threw away last quarter buying shares back on this instead. Maybe they also wouldn’t have had to take out another $6 billion plus in new debt either. Compared to those numbers, this is chicken feed.

Apple didn't take out new debt because it "had to"; obviously, it has no need to do that, since it has plenty of cash on hand. Rather, this was a financial strategy.
