Apple guides first-ever iPhone sales decline in Q2
Said it before; Apple will make a mistake by coming out with a new "budget" 4". This new iPhone should have all technology as on par with their other flagship phones to the greatest extent that it can.
Keep the 5s; make marginal update to the 5c (if they wish) and sell these as the entry level devices.
A brand new device that is crippled just because Apple chooses to, is a waste.

Microsoft Surface blamed for NFL football playoffs meltdown
Stop your whining. It wasn't two days ago that Apple was cited as using child labor to mine cobalt for it's batteries.tezgno said:
Definitely agree here. But, as a journalist myself, this is why there is a need for good investigative reporting. The article makes one think that the problem is with the surface itself when the NFL has stated that the problem has been their own application and servers. Even though this is an Apple Blog, it isn't necessarily fair to bash someone that isn't the problem. Now, if the surfaces were crashing, locking up, or otherwise causing issues, then by all means go for it. But, in this case, the issue isn't related to the surface product. If they were using iPads and the servers went down, then it would be the same issue.djsherly said:Dude gets paid by the word. I agree it's not a good look for MS but it's difficult to split out the problem when the surface device is the only thing that anyone sees in the solution.
I mean are you f'kin kidding me?!! Apple doesn't make batteries. Samsung makes batteries. Sony makes batteries. Apple is a consumer of third party batteries just like you and me.
Foxconn puts up suicide nets because workers had threatened a "mass suicide" at the Xbox factory. (look it up).
Wanna guess how that story got reported?? Go ahead... (hint: no mention of Microsoft)
So don't come here with your boo-hoo-hoos about MS being bashed for what isn't "their problem".

Microsoft Surface blamed for NFL football playoffs meltdown
Aww gee golly gosh! I wonder what operating system is running those backend servers?tezgno said:While I can understand bashing the competition... unfortunately, this issue can't be blamed on the Microsoft Surface (or Microsoft at all). As has been reported on (and confirmed by) the NFL before, the issue has nothing to do with the Surface. Rather, it's the NFL's servers and application that went down (hence why it goes down across multiple teams at the same time). The tablet runs an application that connects to NFL servers and pulls in data including pictures, replay information, etc. It is that system that has been going down recently. To be honest, while Microsoft has paid a large sum of money for their tablets to be shown and used, the entire process is technically platform agnostic. They can run the application on anything. Unfortunately, it wouldn't matter which tablet they chose in these cases... if their servers are down, then there is nothing that can be done.
