  • MacBook Pro and MacBook Air overwhelmingly drive Apple Mac sales

    Frankly don't believe that Mac Pro number. And the Macbook Pro has majority share? Don't know about that either.

    Apple's Mac ASP would be on order $2000 if these numbers are right. That would be the envy of the PC world.

    I would believe for dollar share, not necessarily unit share.

     explicitly accepting that Apple will take a cut (commission, fee or whatever you want to call it) of every transaction the consumer makes. That, after all is what Apple wants: its part of the pie. 

    Like EVERY major retailer on the face of the planet.

    The US should really should be targeting European companies that do significant business in the US and start finding (or making up) reasons to issue significant fines and other penalties. Every time the EU targets an American-based company, the US should do the same. Time to start putting some retaliatory pressure on the EU.

    In some cases with an iPhone 14 or iPhone 15, users are seeing the SOS notification in the upper-right hand corner of the screen where the signal strength meter normally is. That's an indicator of no cell service, but access to the SOS over Satellite feature.Read on AppleInsider


    That SOS indicator has nothing to do with the "Satellite" feature. Shows up on every phone when there is no cell signal.

    It shows up when a phone doesn't have it's native plan's cell signalbut does have SOME kind of cell signal that it could use for 911 calls.  E.g., it can't reach a native AT&T tower, but there's a Verizon tower, or if the phone isn't activated at all but is within range of a tower.  If you're really in the boonies and can't connect to any tower from any network, then it doesn't even show that.  (I think it's 0 bars?)  But mine is an iPhone 11 - the satellite-capable phones maybe still show SOS even in that scenario?


    Correct. A better explanation than mine.
