Where's the new Apple TV device and game controller that DED predicted?    
Hopefully they do something about the remote now that Ive is gone.

Do you think Dolby is conning people with the HRTF explanation of how mobile Atmos works? 

Con is a little strong. They are welcome to market their products any way that they want.

Is there a list of the ITunes TVs anywhere?   I’ve been in Best Buy and Walmart and all seem to sayHulu, Netflix, YouTube. I expect Disney+ to show up on the boxes before Apple.

Great article. One correction: the iPhone 11 price starts at $699 with 64GB, not $650.

I'm to busy rolling on the floor to read this now.    DED spends years saying apple shouldn't lower prices on their phones and now he flips his tune.   I really believe that this was written up before the unveiling and he just copied and pasted and then posted this editorial with the $650 price point.    I think he's just like PRAVDA arguing for what ever the Communist party says NOW ignoring what they wrote the week before.    LMAO.   Now I am glad that Apple responded and lowered prices $50 (not the pre-imagined $100) .    

I'm looking forward to the tear-down video from iFixit.    I'll buy the iPhone when the QualComm chip is back in it.  Hopefully this year, maybe next at the latest.    I expect when the QualComm chip is back in it DED will  pull another 180 and write a pro QC article.

Not remotely true. I didn't write Apple shouldn't have lower prices. I've pretty consistently stated that when you introduce technology at a higher end point you have room to bring the price down as you mass-produce it, via economies of scale. That's what I wrote here. 

The alternative is bringing middling tech to market at low prices that can't drop, and will be obsolete before they can be resold for any lower, ie Pixel. 

I never before read an article from you where you said "Apple should lower prices back down $50 - $100 because the main stream price point has created up over the last 5-6 years"   Lowering the price $50 doesn't in anyway imply that it will be "middling tech" like the Pixel - of course my two friends who switched to the Pixel love theirs despite that fact that I told them that even a lot of the Android Press criticized the Pixel.   I believe that Apple can be make even a less expensive phone for $399 that is very good quality and better value.   I know because they are mostly smart guys.

So where is the New Apple TV box and where is the new Game Controller from Apple?    Why isn't there an article attacking Apple.
(Or is the real back story that Apple has done a lot of work on a AR/VR entertainment system that Cook pulled within the last week because he didn't want another AirPower disappointment and just want to make sure everything is more than perfect.

If Apple had raised prices the other day we’d be getting an “editorial” about how what matters is profit share not market share and if people want cheap they should buy an Android. That’s why you can’t take DED’s “editorials” seriously. He’s like Lou Dobbs on Fox Business shilling for whatever position Trump has taken on the day.

I'm sorry you have self-esteem problems. Maybe talk to a therapist rather than smear hateful rants on a blog. 

You regularly write hateful editorials attacking other journalists.  You're the BreitBart of tech media.   If you can't handle a few comments from him I think you should see a therapist.

I’ve been a fanboy for over twenty years, but the NYT writer has a valid point. The hardware, aside from the price drop, is really underwhelming and out of touch. Schiller especially needs to not present anymore. 

People don’t expect big crazy news features every time, but no one cares about the camera and the watch screen. Not for those prices anyway. 

I disagree with the NYT writer , I guess some of these journalists have become jaded.   Maybe he should switch to Sports.   

That said I just don't think that these DED editorials attacking other journalists/writers are helpful.  People will have different views of everything and the executives at Apple are big boys and can take the heat.      These attacks come off as very Trump-like shouting about FakeNews and attacking the press.

I believe its unrealistic to expect big product revolutions every year or other year.    I think that probably happens more like every 5 years.   To list a few: the original iPhone, the original iPad, the iPhoneX with the near full screen display,  the Gen 4 watch with the heart monitoring    To me iPadOS is the biggest change this year but its not going to get covered at a Hardware event when they went over it at WWDC.
