Editorial: Apple survived 2016's onslaught of fake news and failed competitors
Disagree about now being the time to focus on maintaining. Apple right now needs to avoid becoming Microsoft circa 1999; dominant and yet headed for a lost decade. Things look okay right now, but that can change quickly.

Lawsuit blames Apple's 'less safe' FaceTime implementation for fatal traffic accident
Or maybe personal responsibility can be a thing still, and we don't need The Almighty Government to tell everyone what to do.MalyOpa said:Maybe someone should sue state of Texas of not implementing a law which prohibit people from using phones while driving

NBC's cash-strapped 'Breaking News' app & social media feeds to shut down this week
Good. It was likely heavily slanted and provided little real value.

Yield problems at TSMC could disrupt March launch for new iPads - report
Jokes on you, the A9X is huge. Try getting informed genius. Nearly every iPad SOC has been larger than the original A4.ty24hours said:
Lol, wut??thewhitefalcon said:14nm vs 10nm isn't going to 'save space' in an iPad. Manufacturing process has nothing to do with physical chip size.
Ummmm.... hard to understand how you could possibly believe this!
Sooooooo, to be clear: you believe that the processor in the new 9.7" iPad Pro is precisely the same size as the processor in the original 9.7" iPad, but it just runs more efficiently??
Huh. Try googling "die shrink".
Not only is it the fact that more transistors can be packed in, and the power needs reducing, but another HUGE benefit is the fact that many more die can be cut from the same size piece of silicon.
TLDR; using smaller nm chip processes does indeed yield smaller processors!!!

Prior reports have said the iPads will be increasing thickness this year anyway (likely to make the camera flush again). And the SOC isn't the biggest power draw, the display is by far.crudman said:
It could if the 10nm process improves battery efficiency to the point that a smaller battery could be used while keeping use time at the 10 hour mark. Smaller battery = less weight.thewhitefalcon said:14nm vs 10nm isn't going to 'save space' in an iPad. Manufacturing process has nothing to do with physical chip size.
