Apple's Tim Cook visits Shanghai amid alleged Chinese iCloud spy chip debacle
If the chip incident never happened -- as Apple asserts -- then it's not a "debacle." It's fiction.

Apple highlights positive reviews of Apple Watch Series 4 ahead of launch
Will upgrade from Series Zero,
I like the rectangular design, but it’s interesting that some of the new watch faces are circular. I wonder if that’s setting the stage for a circular design (in addition to rectangular) in the future?

Apple's HomePod claims six percent of the smart speaker market, as Google closes gap with ...
Two audio products:
AirPods = huge success
HomePods = not (yet) a large success
I don't mean this judgmentally, just as an observation. And "success" is subjective; you could argue that HomePods have been very successful with their (a) target audience and (b) primary use case [audio quality].

Notes of interest from Apple's Q3 2018 conference call
Yes. I work for a company with 150,000 employees, and we just began offering Macs to employees this past year.entropys said:
Must be some corporate buyers. At least I hope so, it would be quite detrimental to long term Mac sales if private purchasers discover their brand new machine isn’t really.avon b7 said:60% of Mac sales to new users. This is the second time in recent memory this has happened. The last one was an Xmas quarter I believe.
I find that somewhat intriguing.
i would hope the bulk of the Mac range is updated this quarter with decent specs, functionality and flexibility. That will fix the Mac sales slump pretty quick. -
