This sort of thing happens in every server farm. Apple will fix it faster than most other companies.

Apple never guaranteed 100% absolute uptime with no outages ever.

This only affects a tiny percentage of Apple's customers.

Thank god you are in the know I was very worried for a minute. Not sure why they will fix this faster than most companies as you provided no evidence to why. And according to the article this seems to be affecting lots of people. I mean over a billion active devices in the wild so possible hundreds of millions of issues? Im a big fan of their products but shamelessly rushing to their defense without any evidence kinda makes you look like a fanboi.

I echo the comments above. I want SIRI to work well because I can see it being mroe useful if it did. I have an Apple watch, 2 iphones, tv and ipad and macbooks/imac and unless Im yelling at siri it often times doesn't respond. "Hey Siri" is awkward because I don't begin sentences with the word Hey. Alexa is a more natural word and lets me have a conversation rather than saying something awkward and waiting for my UI to pop up. Getting tired if it really and its truly limiting my appreciation of the tech. While Alexa is limited its still more responsive and the UI interaction is better.

ok. sounds neat.

Talking about acquistions. Apple should buy Shopify for $15 billion.  

WAT? Nobody is talking about acquisitions. And no, they shouldn't. That makes absolutely no sense. That's like saying they should also buy Pintrest. Since that is just as useless to their overall model.

if true this would be a shame. I don't doubt it though as Macs have been relegated. Apple should really be releasing new devices every year and commit to the platform. There is too much disparity in their current Mac lineup. So many people are clamoring for a Mac lineup that truly wows. It seems Apple is really more concerned about pushing a mobile OS. Shame. OS X is truly a wonderful environment to work in. Macs are adored by those who use them and their appeal is wide. Neglecting them and refusing to advertise/upgrade/promote the lineup will do a lot of harm to the Apple brand.

wise move if apple keeps the headphone jack. that will be a major reason to keep the 6s. 


"SIM cards also take up physical space within an iPhone casing, limiting Apple's ability to make the device thinner or utilize a larger battery."


LOL...larger battery......Apple Batteries have been getting smaller, not larger.
