Notes of interest from Apple's Q3 2016 conference call
cropr said:I don't understand that Tim Cook said he saw the highest level of iPhone switchers, while having 15% less iPhones sold in Q2 and losing almost everywhere market share. Did I miss something?
What if:
1) Some Android users fed-up with lack of OS updates getting their first iPhone, the recently launched and affordable SE model.
2) Fewer current iPhone users upgrading because we're long into the last product cycle with a new one on the horizon.
3) Still far more Android users churning to their next Android phone to get newer OS.

FBI should disclose iPhone vulnerability to Apple, Edward Snowden says
This has been a FBI PR clusterf*ck from the beginning.
First they claim they don't how the firm they hired penetrated the iPhone and the method is a proprietary asset of the company. Then they offer to shop it around to local Attorneys General wanting to hack iPhones in other criminal cases. If the first claim is true, what is the evidentiary value of this in court if the defence cannot examine the method for accuracy and reliability? If the FBI is as ignorant about how the hack works as they claim, why would they allow an undocumented forensic tool access to an irreplaceable piece of evidence in a high-profile terrorism case?
Johnathan Zdziarski makes the case for the FBI's reckless behaviour better than I can here:
