    Hey Mikey!!! Stop mangling the English language with your trendy though totally incorrect pluralization. Attorneys General??? No, an attorney general is one title, one thought, one unit. And so is mother-in-law. Let me ask you this – would you say you opened two C's D at the bank? Did you get four A's minus on your last report card??? Argh! And yes, I am using the apostrophe correctly in my examples, so don't even go there.
    Your smugness is laughable. And you’re wrong by the way. Attorneys General is correct.

    The GOP attorney general getting revenge on Apple for not giving them backdoor encryption keys. 
    That’s exactly what it is. Plain and simple IMO. Yeah the government cares about protecting me. I have a villa in Tuscany that I’m willing to sell you for cheap.

    All devices? A lot of people I know are still running iOS 9. Where are they in the pie?

    Besides, older devices running older iOS are performing BETTER than running newer iOS versions.
    There are in the 3% represented on the chart. And yes older versions seemed more stable (my first iPhone was the 4s). Hence Apple’s focus on stability in the release of 12 and 13. iOS 11 was a bug fest imo. I’m loving iPad OS 13 public beta for sheer features and refinement. Let’s hope most of the bugs are squash on release.

  • Apple Watch leads growing smartwatch segment with 5.7M units shipped in Q2

    One of the things this seems to reinforce is that, as great as Apple is doing with this segment, (smart) phones are where the real money is and will continue to be. As great as these sales figures are this is like 1-2 weeks of phone sales.

    The phone seems to be the one device that everyone has. Heck some people even carry two (work and personal). I see lots of people without watches at all and many for whom the classic (non smart/digital) design is preferred. But everyone has a phone and it's with them almost 24/7.

    The phone turns out to be the near perfect form factor for 80-90% of people's use cases. It is the true "personal computer." I suspect the watch, simply because of form limits, will never quite get there.

    Apple will keep going with this. It's no business to laugh off by any means and the watch brings value particularly its health monitoring features. But from a business POV, it's nothing compared to the phone.
    You had to go spin this onto a conversation about the phone did yuh. Thanks for the info captain obvious.
