I like 'iPads Pro' myself.  Like 'attorneys general' or 'Traders Joe'.

But he is right "It's all fun until someone gets hurt."   Then it's hilarious!

But it is Trader Joe's.

How about Carl's Jr. instead?

But since there are more than one Carl's Jr. wouldn't that make it Carl's Jr.s?

It seems like Ming Chi Kuo is better with predictions than Gene Munster. I can't believe Munster still has a job.

As said earlier in the thread, Mark Gurman seems to do really well. Though Gurman seems to do less predicting his track record is pretty solid.

Also even if Kuo is correct 44% of the time, anyone who says that is worse than a coin flip is being somewhat disingenuous. Consider the limit of two outcomes of a coin flip versus the virtually limitless number of potential Apple rumor outcomes.

Thanks! I never saw that.

I just looked and it was set to "Automatically Send" and "Share With App Developers" was also turned on.

It was set that way by default. Would have been nice to have it off by default. I turned it off.

It is on by default, but when setting up your iPhone or when it was added you would be asked during the setup, if you want to send diagnostics and usage date to apple & then on a separate screen you would be asked if you want to share data with devs.

High possibility you just hit next next next and ignored it.

You are probably right, I don't recall.

I'm using an iPad Air so it's been a while and iOS 9.0 has been super stable after a handful of buggy updates with 8. I haven't gone to 9.3 yet because everything works great.

This stuff is getting out of control.

Whats next? Suing another company over a rectangular phone with rounded corners?

This article has all the fixings to start a flame war. From the title that is a question, to the content in the body.

That being said it is an opinion piece and is fun to think about as long as things stay civil. Well done Mr. Fingas.

We all know the answer. Apple has been chipping away at Microsoft's OS market share for years. A chunk? No. More like a nibble. But those nibbles really start to add up.

Meanwhile Microsoft has been diversifying their business for years. Something Apple is smart to do as well. Relying on a few products is not a great place to be long term. The competition is great in hardware, software and services these days. Microsoft missed the mobile train by standing at the wrong station, and may never catch up to the others. But it's going to be a long while before Microsofts dominance will fade into the sunset. If ever.

Another thing that comes to mind is that Chrome Books are steadily increasing in sales as well. This same article could be written with a title like "Will Chrome Books take a chunk out of iPad sales in education?" Maybe not a chunk, but at least a few nibbles.
