  • Analyst estimates Apple Pay used by 253M people worldwide, 31 percent of iPhone install ba...

    “This means the percentage of Apple Pay users in the U.S. has decreased to 15% and international has increased to 85%." 

    This is has to be a typo. Isn’t it “. . . and international has increased by 85%.”??
    I don’t think 85% of people internationally are using Apple Pay!
    I read it as meaning that out of all Apple Pay users, 15% are in the US and 85% are ROTW.

  • iPhone X was world's best-selling smartphone model in first quarter

    Winter added. "The previous-generation iPhone 7 shipped a respectable 5.6 million units for fourth place. Combined together, Apple today accounts for four of the world's six most popular smartphone models."

    Am I missing something?  Shouldn't he have said that "
    Apple today accounts for the top four most popular smartphone models in the world." ???

  • Rumor: Apple to launch AirPower and AirPods wireless charging case in March

    I've held back on Airpods until they are available with the wireless charge case as a package, so I'll be picking up a pair hopefully real soon. The only reason I didn't jump straight on at their release was the hope that a black or space grey version would come out, but I've accepted that this is unlikely ever to happen, so now is the time! But one question - The way I read the article it sounds like the choice is between Qi only or Lightning only options… Are we expecting the wireless version not to have a Lightning port as well?

    I wish you would include an article with these videos. I don't watch videos, I prefer to read.
    Agree 100%, you can read an article without disturbing people around you which you can’t do with a video.
    Ditto. I can't even finish the videos. Would much rather just read an article.
    totally agree. At least have a transcript, with pictures as an alternative. 
    I find their videos are succinct and well structured in every way.
    Agreed - I really like their style and how info is delivered in the AI videos, but normally I watch them as part of my feed directly on YouTube, which I can't use at work :neutral:  

    I know I should be working, but I dip into the Apple news every now and then, and a video-only articles mean I have to skip that post until lunch/get home, or get the gist of it from the comments.

    Good to see you guys start doing videos. Good job! Keep it up. 
    I'm actually in two minds about videos on AI - They are great, but it makes harder for me to browse the Apple news at work when I should be working!
