    another analysis sniffing toilets of supplier trying to count turds to back into some sort of number phones apple may or may not sell. Oh lets not forget Apple is not reporting those numbers anyone and getting a some sort of indication on what Apple service business will pull in is going to more of challenge, no toilets of suppliers to sniff for made up numbers.
    Any why do you think Apple are no longer reporting numbers?
    That’s a good point. Apple announced they will stop counting numbers hoping a decrease in sales wouldn’t outweigh increased profit margins, then the next quarter they have decreased profit. I wouldn’t be surprised they are having a relatively large decrease in iPhone sales, even if they end up compensating with their services by next quarter(and it’s unclear if the services will be out by then).

    Android have these tethering way before IOS, did they sue Google then? 
    If they win against Apple they may. Or it might be that some other companies, for example Google, Samsung, "other" have agreed to pay some small royalty for the patent when approached and avoid a lawsuit. Or maybe Google is actively challenging the patent already, understanding it might be only a matter of time, which would not he all that unusual. Do you know? I don't. 

    Sometimes a "patent troll" goes after only small fry, and sometimes they go after a different big fish first as recently happened when Google was sued before eventually settling which encouraged the patent owner to move on to Apple next. Different companies get targeted first for various reasons. 
    Apple should know whether Google is doing this.
    I'm sure they do. And?
    Apple and google could cooperate against the one suing them.

  • iPhone 'Personal Hotspot' tech violates networking patent, lawsuit claims

    This has been around for the better part of a decade now and has been on Android phones as well, pretty sure before Apple added it  to iOS it in 2010 right? Also the carriers sell devices specifically for this feature, and occasionally cars have it, shoot even Mac( and Windows?) computers can be set up for ad hoc wifi... Does Winet Labs really think they can sue all those groups over a vague patent that no doubt there are enough other patents and devices to likely overlap that claim to have it thrown out easily?

    Yes, the U.S. is behind in rolling out 5G (even though Verizon plans to have it in 30 cities before 2020).   But, that is because of politics. 
    30 Cities is likely cities that all have great coverage of 4g already, I wouldn’t consider it a decent rollout until it’s at 100 cities. Also almost all goals have been missed this far, so I wouldn’t bet on that claim.

    Politics is an influence since at least on the T-Mobile/ Sprint side they are waiting on the status of the pending merger before they rollout their network(s). I don’t think there is anything in particular holding back AT&T and Verizon beyond bad experience from customers thus far.

  • Amazon offers ad-supported music service to Echo owners at no charge

    Sounds like a competitor with Pandora that someone with an Echo will probably use instead.
